Thread: Shopping spree?

I haven't really talked about my purchases lately...


Let's see...
A 3-video source changer
(literally just the thing where you plug in your yellow-white-red video plugs in - with 3 slots - and with a click of a button, you can switch between them)
for my other TV in my room.. since it's been a hassle to unplug and replug the systems and satellite over and over again...

A Wii Points card... finally got myself some more WiiWare games:
Art Style CUBELLO
Art Style ORBIENT
Bit.Trip Beat
+ Virtual Console game:
Wrecking Crew

Oh, and if you guys haven't updated your Wiis, you're missing out. The new update allows you to play Virtual Console games & Wii Ware games DIRECTLY FROM YOUR SD CARDS.
So yeah, solves a ton of people's "space problems".

MySims Kingdom
I'm a fan of creator-games. And MySims was a favorite Wii game of mine. I've been waiting for the chance to get this game.

City of Heroes & Dark Star One
... Abu and I were heavy City of Villains players (City of Heroes is now available to City of Villains players, and vice versa) :
video intro - some random gameplay - Her character - My character
And with me getting a video card (hopefully purchasing tomorrow), my computer can finally amp up the darn thing.
Reason why we stopped playing is cuz we didn't have a credit card back then - so we had to buy the month cards - which eventually disappeared into thin air due to computer shops closing - recently, they started appearing in normal places - like Target.
Also, my laptop died a few years back. So with that, my game died too. So I needed a new copy of the CD since the other one needed a product code that I totally lost.
Anywho...
And I got Dark Star One cuz it was in the bargain area, & sounded a lot like an old favorite game of mine: Freelancer
Hopefully this game'll be as good as Freelancer.

...but yeah, CoV is a FAVE for abu and I... speaking of which, I found a semi-old sig of mine:


Also got CableNeat Rainbow Ties...
Which... is for Abu. She hates how tangled my wires get. I hate it too, but I've tried to tie them together in the past - let's just say things just got worse.
...I hope her luck is better than mine with tying them up.

Also got a $25 Zune Marketplace card.
Yeps, Abu's a proud-Zune owner. She's not really an iPod kind of girl. ... she's better with names and rememberin' song titles, so I'm confident she can add some good songs to my computer.

Some DVDs:
Police Story 2, Double Feature: Glory (reason why I got it ) / The Patriot, I Am Legend, Cast Away (my bro has always had a copy, but I thought I'd get myself one), Street Fighter II V Boxset (was selling for pretty cheap ), Shark Week Ocean of Fear (for Abu... we both love Shark Week), Hook.
I realize that I have a lack of classic DVDs, so I'm always looking forward to expand it whenever I've got a spare 20 in my pocket.

...you all know that I got Abu an 80gb PS3 already.
So worth it. MGO almost every night.

Halo Wars.
Love it. A "stoner RTS"... one of the few RTSs that exist that you're not freakin' multitasking like a maniac. A nice change.
BTW, if you ain't ever gonna' get Halo Wars, you might as well see the coolest cutscene in the game: This one.

Eat Lead.
I enjoy humor in games. There's so few games that make fun of themselves - so I always show my support for them. ... I like it, it's not the best game ever, but it's pretty good. Fun and crazy at times.

Dragon Ball Z Season 8 Boxset.
Can you believe Season 9 already came out? Wow... now we need to get that too...

+Anima manga... er.... the last volume. I think it was either 9 or 10. ^^;
I like +Anima. Rare to see mangas that are innocent in spirit that don't try to be "zany". You should give it a read.

Got Abu some craft book-thingies. She says it's great, but I don't hear her talk about it like an annoying neighbor - so I wonder if it really did please her.

Steambot Chronicles.
I couldn't find my original copy. O_o ...so I got myself a new one.
Give the game a try, it's cheap now! -and if you think the singing is awful, give the game a few more days - the songs will literally grow on ya'! I STILL can't forget those songs, and it's been years since I've played.

Also Street Fighter IV... I need to get back to earning characters in that game.

Aaaaannnddd....
About $15 in bars so I could customize my Whirled like a madman.
(see links in sig)
...can you really be that surprised? I like customizing!



...so yeah, that catches y'all up to my recent purchases.
It took me a while to realize that I never talked about it.


EDIT: And, oh right, I'm getting a graphics card for my computer... not the best of the best, but pretty darn good for its price range - problem is, it takes a lotta' space because its big@$$ fan on it keeps it from overheating.



................. I run this economy, just so you know. :-O
