[/quote] Why'd you only get 3?

[quote name='slowdive21']Those Kmart deals are great! Disgea 2 is still 29.99 @ my kmart. Can't find Valkyrie Profile 2 around here.[/quote] Did you have it price checked? It might be incorrectly stickered.

The Daxter PSP bundle is scarce? Damn my local BB that just opened down the road has like 20 or so of these on the shelf. Oh and not to mention like 10 360 Elites, 30+ Halo 3 Edition 360's, and copies of Assassin's Creed LE which I have yet to find in any other store besides EB.

I mean if anybody needs anything that you can't normally find, PM me and I can hop on down there and see what I can find. Most people don't know about this BB so most of the stuff that is hard to find and should be easy for me.
 
I picked up the following the from KBToys.com/EToys.com clearance(which is mostly picked cleaned now):

Nightcaster(Xbox)$3.99
Primal(PS2)$8.00
Syphon Filter 2(PS1)$2.79
Syphon Filter 3(PS1)$2.99

I meant to get Primal back when I last had a PS2, but I never got around to it, so better late than never I suppose. All of the reviews I read for Nightcaster claimed it's complexity when switching between spells was what detracted from it being a good title. Complexity detracts from the review score? Sounds more like a lazy/stupid reviewer to me.
 
I finally got my camera back and this is what I picked up this whole month so far.

[quote name='Chacrana']Some good games in there, but that Microwave/Computer combo... c'mon.[/quote]

Hehe, it's not a microwave/computer combo. ^__^

It's an expensive electrical testing equipment for electrical engineers to use. I don't know how much this one costs since I can't find it online anywhere, but normally its 3 to 5k for a unit. Of course I'm not going to sell it, I need it for my school projects and my future job projects. ^__^
 
Dang, that's an awesome gift exchange. The items are like junk at the gift exchange I went to. Chocolates, photo albums...I think the best one was a blu ray disc that was free from the PS3 offer, lol.
 
[quote name='sasukekun']Geez, Refusedchaos, i havent even heard of most of the anime you show in the pictures.[/QUOTE]
I have. Most of it sucks.
 
Funnily enough, seeing all those Cardcaptor Sakura comics reminds me of when I sold mine (a complete set of the comicbook format issues); those look doubled up two to a bag, like how I package my comics o_O

Anyway, picked up Samurai Legend Musashi today @ GS for $7.99, used but complete and in good condition.
 
I'll never understand you people and that anime crap, I just dont get it. and so much of it too.

Why do you guys like it so much? really

People like Madden?????
 
Wow, refusedchaos I'd probably be quite ashamed to have that in my house
 
[quote name='jer7583']Wow, refusedchaos I'd probably be quite ashamed to have that in my house[/quote]

I'd probably be quite ashamed to have YOU in my house
 
I'd be ashamed to have most anime fans in my house, and I'm an anime fan.

Though refusedchaos was legit enough in Gears of War matches that he'd be aight.
 
I don't have a camera I can use down here, but I should take a pic of the Christmas gettings. And the potential large Christmas gift to myself... we'll see.
 
[quote name='joe2187']Alright alright i get it, i was hating.

Just interested in what its appeal is to people[/quote]
I don't think you'll get an answer that will satisfy you if you're looking for one specific reason people like anime. It's subjective, just like everything else in the whole world.
 
[quote name='joe2187']Alright alright i get it, i was hating.

For the most part, at least in all the 'super anime fans' I've met, it's been that it's still new enough to be considered exotic/cool/whatever, and the repetitiveness of most of it is still excused by the fact it's 'Japanese'. (Bit of an over-generalization, but that's been my experience with most of them)

That said, as said before, it's pretty much subjective. Why might I prefer Bioshock over Mass Effect, while someone else would say the converse, despite the fact they both have shooting elements? It all boils down to personal taste.

cause people like football and its the only football game available each year.
all pro thing doesnt cut it.

its just like if people dont like soccer they dont buy fifa.
or if people dont buy FPS they play only RPGS.
i play madden cause i love watching the NFL.
 
[quote name='whitedeath']furashu

here here on watching the nfl . who is your team? i like the laughing stock of the nfl the FALCONS[/quote]

i like the bolts cause im from SD.
