[quote name='DOMINATOR912']I'd love to see a pic of ZxT's collection. No matter the month, hes always the one to post the most pics in the Pick-ups threads......usually pricey pick-ups too.[/QUOTE]

I know, right. He must have a sweet job or no bills to cop that stuff.

I shall post an updated collection picture sometime. I think I posted an older one in the collection thread.

[quote name='js1']I know, right. He must have a sweet job or no bills to cop that stuff.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I have a good paying job. I am actually on the verge of getting a raise here soon (going to salary instead of my shit hourly ). As far as debt you are right. I hardly have any. Minus living expenses... my BMW and my credit card bill.

Sadly, my purchases are going down a bit as I am going throw more money into my IRA instead of spending waaaay too much on games.

 

[Tardcore]

ZxT and Fire_Thief are keeping this economy afloat, so shut your mouth holes, all of you haters out there.

 

[Cheska19]

I agree, haters gonna hate. I haven't posted shit in a while, the woman in me wants to go out and continue throwing money away on games but Ive been trying to consolidate with my annual spring cleaning.

Whoa, whoa, you need to chill bro. I didn't really see any hating going on. This thread has been pretty nice until now. I was serious about my post,I was correct as you could tell when ZxT Vendetta responded to my post. So if anything YOU need to "shut your mouth hole."

By buying up used games on eBay?

?

 

[KillerRamen]

Comics! ...and Lunar: Silver Star Harmony Premium Edition. (I'm still debating if I should pick-up the Lunar Guide or not... I probably will.)

 

[Tardcore]

Why didn't you pick up the new JLA?

 

[Chairman_LMAO]

Sigh. Being broke sucks. All I've picked up this month were cheap games from the Blockbuster sale.

From memory, I got:
Enchanted Arms
Loco Roco 2
Bleach: Shattered Blade
Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Smash-Up
Soulcalibur Legends
All for around $35

God, that Bleach game sucks so hard. It's nothing more than a wagglefest. I ended up giving it to a friend who's a Bleach fanatic.

KillerRamen and Tardcore: are you guys as pumped for Free Comic Book Day as I am?

I want that X-men Forever lol. Do you guys buy your comics online or from a local comic store?

 

[Chairman_LMAO]

[quote name='Kissfuldreamer']I want that X-men Forever lol. Do you guys buy your comics online or from a local comic store?[/QUOTE]

Store is the only way to go (although the question wasn't directed at me ). I like supporting local businesses, and places of nerd culture.

 

[Cheska19]

^It was plural, directed to any of you guys. I don't have any local comic stores =(

Have you checked the Comic Shop Locator?
http://www.comicshoplocator.com/default.asp

...Boarders and Barnes and Nobel have comics too, but they seem to get them later and from what I've seen they're not always in great condition.

I always buy from a local shop. I've been going there for the almost 7 years now.

Edit: If you want to check out comics there's always trades on Amazon. The hardcovers are usually very nice and it's usually a lot cheaper than buying single issues.

Just made a BEAST ass SHMUPS order at GameStop.com!!! I got:

Ultimate Shooting Collection - Wii

Raiden Fighter Aces - 360

Raiden IV Limited Edition - 360

Combined with CAG16 and EDGE, these three were $34 shipped!!! Amazing!!!!! All are complete as well!!!!

This is so beast. :]

Super Street Fighter IV on PS3. I really need one now. It was $37, but I got a $10 credit. So I figure it won't be less than $27 for a long time..

Touchgrind - iPod touch - $5

First time I EVER spent this much on an iPod game... And WOW, is this game awesome. Take a look:

[iKilledChewbacca]

@ Fire_Thief , Do you actually talk like that in real life " Just made a BEAST ass SHMUPS order at GameStop.com!!! " .

- I am not trying to come off as a jerk , I am just wandering because the word BEAST is VERY overused, so 4 years ago , and just quite annoying. It is almost as the annoying as " Cool Beans "

P.S. remember just wandering , not trying to be a jerk

 

[Tardcore]

- Heavy Rain ($35 shipped from a fellow CAG)
- Green Lantern #53 (Brightest Day)
- Justice League of America #44 (Brightest Day)

I'm in the middle of moving so there are boxes and shit all around my house at the moment.

[quote name='nnthomas']Who cares.[/QUOTE]

You've added so much to the conversation. Masterful.

Tardcore, How are you liking the Brightest Day storyline? I haven't picked up any issues yet, but I plan on it soon. I'm not gonna miss out on this one like I did with 52.

This month's pickups, thankfully the
EA games, from the EA Store (I know, late to the Orange Box party, but better late than never)

Not as cheap EA store game from my first order, but it's an expansion to Dragon Age, that magical time warp that apparently took 50+ hours of my life.

And now, my favorite pick up of the month, now limited only by my laziness to go out and buy a frame:

Pictures don't do it justice, looks awesome in person, going to look even nice with my Shepard statue from the Bioware auctions when it gets in
