I saw gamestop had a Witcher Dark Edition in stock 20 miles away from me and finally decided to get it today. Good thing I did! I stopped at the walmart next door and they had an enormous clearance section of video games, which is where I got the 4 Wii games you see.. SWOTR was from a goodwill for 3.99 and the Xenoblade artbook was from an awesome gamestop manager that was able to get one for me.

Gundam Unicorn game. (really don't know when, if ever I will actually play a gundam game...

Dream C Club Mahjong! This has got to be the best game EVER! Mahjong with the girls of Dream C Club, what's not to like!?

A Seiko watch. While not expensive, it has one of the better in house movement and is classy and handsome while still have a little sparkle. Didn't spend time on setting up the photo so it doesn't do it justice, but the dial is really nice looking and depending on how the light hits it, shows off different color and BLING!

The blue stitching also add some personality to the watch. Very nice and I am extremely happy. Watching it sit in the watch auto winder doing its thing makes me happy

Nice pickup coolsteel, I love Vanquish! I hope you enjoy it too.

Really enjoying Resident Evil Revelations! Need a circle pad pro for it though since the controls are kinda wonky. B2G1 free so Catherine was the free game back when Gamestop had it on sale.



Traded Twisted Metal to a friend for DMC Collection, and I'm loving The Witcher 2! So glad it came to consoles.



I'm a total sucker for Steelbooks and just had to get the Resident Evil ones since Walmart is selling them for ~$8 each Absolutely love the Lightning Steelbook too <3

I never saw Live 06 and Madden 06 in person before and I really liked the covers for some reason. Madden 07 and 08 were super cheap. College Hoops 2K6 is pretty dang fun (I wanna get 2K8 but I'll wait til I find a cheaper copy than the 30 buck ones online.) Plus, when my friend saw them he said they're all fairly easy to get 1000 gamerscore on so that's always a plus.

B2G1F at Microplay in Canada.

No More Heroes Paradise $29.99
Uncharted 3 $29.99
Sonic Generations Free

My pickups from ComicFest this weekend.

I really really like that first ninja turtles one. Awesome!

I'm going to have to post some pictures later. I picked up a new Vita yesterday, which I'm pretty excited about. Not so much for the handheld or its available games but mainly because I didn't pay a cent for it.

Not expensive? Aren't those things around $500? Or did you manage to get one that's not batshit-crazy expensive? If you paid that much and you seriously think it's not expensive, then I would like to inform you that my birthday is coming up and I have always been a loyal friend to you. Of course, even if you didn't spend an assload of money on it, you are still welcome to shower me with gifts.

Got these from target using the $20 coupons

13 assassins-9.99
Psycho-4.99

I spent just a little over $500 for that watch which really isn't that much considering some of the watches are my and many's watch list can cost upward of $20-30k... I am still saving towards that goal.

Watches are man jewlery.

but hey, I got this Casio earlier this month, fond memories and I wear it with pride $15 from amazon!

Just a matter of perspective, I guess. There could be a place that sells watches for $15,000,000 and I don't think it would make a $500 watch any less expensive. Hell, I think a $50 watch is expensive, but I couldn't imagine spending more than $5 for one. Heh. Well, I do have a watch that was $25 (one of these), but my mom bought it for me 20 years ago, so it doesn't quite count.

I am loving my most recent pick ups.



The lowball items I've got so far. I totally missed when bidding on them that some were sealed.





Thanks for coming back in stock Amazon.




I found Phantasy Star Portable 2 and Duke Nukem the other day in Gamestop. PSP2 was a no brainer, and I figured I wouldn't find Duke Nukem's CE much cheaper than $20.




Om nom nom reproduction cartridges.




I found these at Target the other day, and it's exactly the type of shelves I've been looking for. I'm probably going to go back and buy at least two more, I'm just slightly turned off by having yet another big wall of video games.

Picked these up Saturday at GameStop. Paid like $213...I think. Well if you take off the Mortal Kombat that I traded back I only paid $185. And that's paid in credit. Didn't spend anything out of pocket for it. While there i also renewed my Power Up Card, so I should be getting a b2g1 coupon soon, so I'll be using that to pick up some more games for it.

Not a whole lot to show off because I'm really trying to cut back on purchases right now, but here we go...


Just some Skylanders and my awesome Skyrim shirt. Unfortunately, Shirtpunch uses different shirts now and they don't have any kind of stretch/give to them, so I need to lose a few more pounds before it feels comfortable.


Free stuff from the final month of House Party.


I don't plan on ever watching anything on my PSP, but Aeon Flux was one of my favorite shows as a kid and it was cheap. These were also free, paid for with GameStop credit. I know some people might argue that it's technically not free if you use credit, but considering that I got the credit by trading in free games, I say it still counts. All that matters is that not a single penny came out of my pocket. And I've still got a fair amount of credit, which I will probably use to go towards a Wii U. I need some Vita games, but there isn't anything really good out on shelves yet, so I'm going to download some games once I get my $100 in PSN cards from Langers.

And now something you always hoped wouldn't be shared:


These aren't quite as interesting, but I'm excited about them anyway. The shirt is what I got for showing my support for The Backloggery (one of my favorite sites right now) through their Kickstarter. I included the protein shake because we bought a 12-pack of these tasty things for $10. They usually cost $3.50-$4.50 per bottle (which would make these at least $42), so it's a damn steal. Literally. My wife works with a guy who knows someone that works at Bolthouse (a local farm where these drinks are made) and he sells these out of the back of his truck.


Oh, and yes, those are Care Bears flashcards in the background of my pictures. I'm teaching my little boy shapes and colors (I'm hoping he'll have it down before his second birthday) and Care Bears are awesome, so there you have it.
