Just opened Fallout 3. I haven't done anything with the disc though other than put it in the CD binder.

Actually, I'm not sure what I want to do with Medieval II and Supreme Commander... I haven't played either of them yet. They're both supposed to be excellent (and I'm not someone who likes strategy games very often, yet I felt motivated to pick them up), but I dunno. Hmm..
 
[quote name='Lorddraco07']Wonder if the acclaimed steam deals are going to happen. Be nice if PoP was below $30 as the steam version has no drm.[/quote]

I just want that valve complete pack for $75. I think the only game I have from that is the original Half Life.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']The ipod touch is probably the only ipod I'd ever consider buying, and even then I wouldn't. I'll stick with my Samsung P2.[/QUOTE]

after a couple months of owning the 2nd Gen Touch, I decided it wasn't worth it. I only use it for music (touch games are aids despite what others would have you believe), and the music browsing interface is not safe for driving since you have to look right at it the whole time while browsing and do a couple more presses than on the regular ipod to get music going. I bring my player with me every time I drive, so this is a huge negative for me. The interface is kinda nice while walking, but not $400 nice. I used to use it to browse in class and keep track of dates, meetings, etc. but then my macbook replaced it in that respect. On top of that, I was running out of space on the 32gb. So I sold it on craigslist yesterday for $320 and ordered an apple refurb 80gb classic for half the price.
 
Even at the current price, the valve complete pack is amazing for someone that has few to none of them. For $75 that's a steal but it is to bad I already own most of them. :cry:

The P2 I use is one of the sexiest players ever. Since it has bluetooth I can pair it with my phone so that when I get an incoming call I can answer it on the player instead of having to take out my phone. It's awesome.
 
The jasper is a big improvement over the zephyr hardware.

My xbox just makes a low hum now. Plus the power brick is a lot lighter.

The gf bought me DMC4, too ^__^
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Outlaw of Gor? I totally don't remember that one.[/quote]

Watched it on the flight back to the UK Mak. Quite a good ep, Jack Palance "starring" in an early nineties swords and sorcery film, it's a Mike ep, season 6 I think.

Nice! if I ever get a car with bluetooth, I'd totally get a player with it too. For now, I use the good ol' tape deck adapter :lol:

I still don't remember it. :dunce:

By the way, I got Volume 10.2 from Santa.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Just bought Suikoden :whee:

I figured for $5.99, why not.[/QUOTE]

I didn't realize they were bringing it to PSN. That's awesome.

Now is only they would bring Suikoden 2 which is about 10x's better.
 
I love FO3. Game is still blowing my mind.
I can't stop thinking about it, and I couldn't play yesterday because of all the family things going on.

Also, I picked up Earth Defense Force "2025(?)", and today probably Alone in the Dark: Inferno, something I haven't decided, and Prince of Persia for a friend.
 
I'm definitely gonna keep playing that.
I think I will wait until AitD is bargain bin pricing then.

Gonna go with PoP for my friend, and two cheap games then for use with the GS deal. Probably Dead Rising finally, and something else.

Same here, im kinda surpised at how hard the game is ^_^ but it looks great on my PSP lol.
 
Yo GGTIZZLE!

Boxing day pick ups:
No More heroes
Blastworks
Pinball Williams Collection
Sega Superstar Tennis
$10 each.

Going out to buy a 360 now.


You guys have boxing day in the States?
 
Yay, WKC did well in it's first day in Japan.
Hope it gets localized soon. Impressions are positive from the people who imported it and the streaming vids.
 
Got Beatmania 15 today. Excellent stuff. Now I'm on my way to send some stuff at the P.O., and I'll probably swing by a store to take a look at the TV I'm considering.
 
[quote name='jer7583']how's the screen on that new PSP? I hear mixed things, but the initial screenshots they showed looked fantastic[/quote]

It's brighter and the colors are more vibrant than the other versions, but that's it.

[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Do I spy Yuma Asami in your sig?[/quote]

Oh mai oui.
 
Wow, found a place in Dallas that has the Mitsu LaserVue TV sets.
Don't want one, but am interested in how they look.

My co-worker just gave me a card to the place, he's a TV enthusiast and was pretty impressed by the color variation.
Very interesting to see that happens to these sets in the future price-wise as they're made to compete with the Pioneer Kuros (the next TV i'm buying).

Picked it up with Gears of War 2 for $30.
 
There is so much stuff on sale I want but I need to keep my money atm.

What sucks is I work in a small town in Ohio and some kid came through with what I presumed was his id. The town cop pulled up next and told me he'd back that guy had bad plates. 45mins later I'm informed the guy wasn't 21 yet his id said he was 23. Now they're trying to put the blame on me even though his id said he was 23.
 
Yeah I've decided to pass on all the sales as well. Oblivion is keeping me busy for now and I'd rather just wait and pick up some of these games with Goozex points next year.

I have 8000 some in my account, and I'd like to get that a bit lower as I don't want to have a lot of points sitting around if I end up not gaming much in the next year or so when i finish my Ph D and start my new job and see my already limited free time shrink even more.
 
Well I checked out the TV that I'm getting to replace the current one, and yeah, looks good. I dunno what I was thinking not getting this one in the first place :whistle2:/

Trying to hold off on playing too much Beatmania till I get the other TV.
 
Interesting... there's exactly 6-8 games that look like they might be worth buying from January 1st to June 1st next year.

Meaning, it's a good time to catch up.

Street Fighter, Resident Evil, ???, ???, ???.....
 
Got Left 4 Dead downloading on my PC right now since I snagged off steam for $37. Other than that, grabbed 2 more DS games today from TRU to bring me to 51 DS titles, and picked up U.N. Squadron from a local store. Gonna go to the different gamestops tomorrow or sunday to see what games I can grab with B2G1.

Edit: I also have my new graphics card coming in the mail as well. Looking forward to finally playing Dead Space and Fallout 3 since they've been sitting on my hdd since they came out.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']My early 2009 games...

Street Fighter IV
Resident Evil 5
Killzone 2 < haven't tried this one yet
____ __ _____
and
__________[/quote]

Other than the ___ __ ___ and _______, that's my early '09 as well. :p
 
Other then SF4... I can't see many games I really want. In fact my New Years resolution is going to be no more new games. I would like to take care of my growing backlog and make a little time to replay some older games. Of course I'll make an exception for a few games if I really want it or I see some nice deals.
 
The only things I'm looking forward to right now are the Big Surf Island DLC for Burnout and Yakuza 3 being released in NA (Right Sega? Yakuza 3 is being released in the US in 2009, right? Yes, of course I'm right.)
 
Street Fighter 4 is a must.

RE4 is almost a must.

Got a controller to use as the pcb for my stick. Going to start drilling the control pad tommorrow.

Early next year, it's all about SFIV, RE5, FEAR 2, and Riddickulous Remake for me.

Blaz Blue, Tekken 6, and KOF XII for the rest of the year so far. Hopefully FF XIII, but I'm not expecting it.
