ooh, you got the Free Darko book

Wonder Boys is the only other one there I've read but i think I would cheerfully read any of the others. Good picks!

I already own the first one, which I thought was merely OK (a little too much style over substance), but this book seems to have much more actual content.

A Confederacy of Dunces is an awesome book.

It hits a little close to home, though

I think this might be the last haul of physical books I ever buy.

That's a good way to go out, if so. Awesome choices.

Got this bad boy a day before release. Played a little Code: Veronica (and it sucked ass), but RE4 is one of my favorite games ever so I'll be happy to play through that again. May try to get all the trophies for 4.

My comic book haul for the last few days...

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #3010 on:** September 07, 2011, 10:29:17 AM »

Maximum Carnage = Awesome
Maximum Clonage = Fuck you Marvel

Mupepe · « **Reply #3011 on:** September 07, 2011, 10:33:42 AM »

Well since all the new #1's are coming out this month and I've been on a big comic book kick lately I figured I'd at least catch up with the ultimate fallouts before I read about the new Miles Morales.

My next purchase will either be 252 (first symbiote issue) or 299 (first venom issue). Both are about 40 bucks in near mint condition and I want them but can't decide. Arghhhhhhh.

My wife was going through my comics a week or so ago and read some of my spiderman comics and then I figured eh I'll read some too and before we knew it we were nose deep in the backissues bin of our local comic shop and we've been going nuts for the last week or so. We're fucking addicted.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #3012 on:** September 07, 2011, 10:50:28 AM »

Just avoid maximum clonage

Mupepe · « **Reply #3013 on:** September 07, 2011, 10:52:34 AM »

is that part of the amazing spiderman or one of the others? I generally don't care for the other runs except ultimate every once in a while.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #3014 on:** September 07, 2011, 11:41:23 AM »

A year or two after maximum carnage...so amazing era? Had scarlet spider, big reveal was that the spiderman we had been reading for years wasn't really spiderman...only worse reveal could have been a deranged Peter Parker being visited by his parents at a mental institution

I would have just waited a week or so for the PSN version of RE4.

I... I just couldn't resist. It was stronger than me.

Please excuse the poor quality, I shrunk it and it's still horribad. Whatevs.

It's huge. WoW huge. 30 x 24 cm. Slide-out faux book with all the stuff inside.
Standard PC game in DVD sleeve with two useless cosmetic DLCs, CD with OST in papersleeve, nice big Artbook, useless collectible character cards with fluff, useless and quite frankly horribly cheap "Seal of Purity" fridge magnet. Yes, fridge magnet. You read that right. Not the best CE ever, but as far as Collectors Editions go it's quite OK, really.

And the Emperor, in all his glory, found it prudent to give me french character cards. FRENCH. I don't understand a single word on those cards. Might as well have been Orkish. $:-\$

Was shockingly cheap too- weird but awesome cause want

Has to be a bootleg. The original version is fuck expensive.

It arrived today, is there a specific way I can tell if its a bootleg? All outward apperances are pretty convincing- bootleg has come a long way!

new graphics cards: Nvidia GTX 560 ti

not a huge leap over my gtx 275, but it's cheap, rebated and includes Batman Arkham City, which is a game I'd buy day one. Mental gymnastics brings it down to under $200. Should last me a year or two, or at least put be in a better position for Battlefield 3 and Skyrim, and it has DX11.

current card is almost exactly 2 years old because it came with Batman Arkham Asylum. Will buy next card when Arkham Nation is out.

and just realized this is almost a decade of Nvidia exclusivity. from 4600 to 6800 to 8800 to 275 to 560. brand loyalty :'(

His stuff normally runs for exponentially more than that (as do most prints). I actually felt like I had to ask if there was something wrong with them for being so cheap, but he said it's just part of the site's mission to provide inexpensive limited edition prints for new and up-and-coming artists.

I pre-ordered Gears 3 on amazon since I don't want to get it from GameStop anymore. Also bought Just Cause 2 which might have been a mistake.

I thought about getting Gears since I liked the first one and the second one was at least pretty and fun to shoot at things. But way too many games out/coming out this fall, so I probably wouldn't play it until next year and it'll be like $20-30. Will wait.

yeah, I was about to get Gears 3, then I realized I just bought Call of Juarez 2, NFS Hot Pursuit, Radiant Historia, Ghost Trick, and have a backlog I need to work on.
