^^ Wait, since when has this thread turned into a competition? Nobody told me...

@Phoenixus: I wouldn't call a Nunchaku strange at all. More like awesome. You have one month to get as good with them as Maxi from Soul Calibur!

Heh, I've always used this thread as a;

"Oh, that's a great idea! *buys whatever the person did*" or "Awesome, didn't know that was out yet!"

I'm just mourning the amount of money I've spent this month and we're not even half-way through it.

I got

Plus:

and last of all

Legendary. Best post in this topic I've seen in ages.

, I got them because they'll keep me occupied for a while, didn't get any online games because besides Uncharted 2, there aren't really any I want, and I'll get the second(and later the third) after I've completed the first. Playing through FF XIII and it's great, very straight forward and I guess some people don't like too much linearity, but I'm not complaining, has a FFX vibe to it, except you can only control one character in battle at once.

Smart move because Uncharted's online should be all you'll need.

Glad you like FFXIII. I wouldn't mind replaying it just before XIII-2 comes out. I love it. You'll have to post in the FF thread sometime on how it's going.

I bought Final Fantasy XIII at launch brand new at full price and I still haven't played it yet. It's still in it's shrink wrap. XD What's worse is that I've seen it for £10. XP

Stulaw add me on PSN.

£14 sealed on ebay, US version. Cheapest I've seen this for, so went for it. Heard good things from a few peeps here so gonna take your word for it. Dunno when I'll play it yet though.

Dunno how extensive your backlog is at the mo, but move this to the top of it. Trust me.

Edit: Oops, forgot to mention!

Absolutely bananas.

Yeah, trust us on this, Azuardo. You won't regret it. My only regret when I first played it was that I didn't buy it earlier.

btw, how is Vanquish? Heard mixed things about it but it's usually kinda cheap, so curious on your take.

Well, haven't really played much of it thus far, but I liken it to a futuristic faster Gears of War,, if you can imagine such a bizarre combo. . Died a few times already, a giant machine spider boss that transforms into a huge robot keeps kicking my ass. :/

I'm waiting for the white PS3 in December, or even January, it's not like there's anything to rush for...

8 GB G-Skill RAM and Turbalance II cooler

@Rudi

Geoman on th GB Micro

Lookin' good . I have a GP2X Wiz for my Goemon fix on the go (since I own the original Super Famicom carts, that's no problem). But I'd like to import that one, for collection completion. Also it unlocks stuff in Goemon DS and I'd like to see that for myself .

Good to see you got your account back too .

Planning on getting Halo Anniversary when that comes out, figured it would be nice to play through every game in the series before revisiting the unbeatable classic. Though Reach does sound pretty fun.

Conviction is something I've always wanted to pick up, though as with Reach, I've always been happy to wait until they go down in price. 12.99 and 8.99 respectively. (thank god I didn't pay 50 for Reach on XBL last week!)

I guess recently I bought StarFox 3D, and Rune Factory 3 for my brother's birthday which I've been playing a lot too.

Other than that I don't really remember uh I bought and completed 999 recently which is one of the best visual novel game things ever I mean it's better than Ace Attorney and Layton ok that's how amazing it is. I seriously recommend it to everyone even though I was really late to the party myself.

Also bought the first two Uncharted games but have yet to play them. Bought and loved Portal 2 which is weird for me I know.

Obligatory mention of OoT3D.

But to be completely honest my gaming life revolves around Touhou Project lately.

EDIT: Oh and DUH my brother got Xenoblade for his birthday too which is amazing and now every single day is Reyn time.

Ah man, turns out my TWEWY copy is a fake My own fault for not checking his negative feedbacks (but had 99% positive anyway). I could just keep it anyways but would prefer not to. I mean, it works and all, but still. Doesn't go into sleep mode properly without glitching out and making an annoying noise. So looks like I might return it and hold out for buying the game again for a while :L

Aw man, that's such a shame. Brings back those bad memories from when I tried to get the game. It took me seemingly forever.

I'm curious about the fake copy though. Is it just some DS card with the ROM dumped on it?

Does suck. I'll have another look for the game online again though. Was pretty interesting after the intro part and I love the character art style.

Looks just like a normal DS cart, but lots of stuff I noticed which shows it's counterfeit:

1. American DS boxes are black. This is clear.
2. When I opened it, the sticker on the cart was loose in the case, like it wasn't stuck on properly.
3. Booklet cover doesn't look officially made.
4. The glitch and noise it makes when you close the 3DS.
5. Cart is stiff to pull out of the case holding, as well as the 3DS itself.

I've had a similar thing with a Yoshi's Island GBA game years back. Learnt my lesson from that one, and managed to not buy fakes again. But this one seemed genuine, seeing as it was sealed. However, checking negative feedback is a must from now on, because if I'd just done that, I'd have stopped. Others commented that their copies were fakes too.

Thought £14 was too good to be true! ;p No worries, I'm sure I'll get it some time.

PS: Looks like you're in a very Fire Emblem mood right now eh? Have you bought the Radiance games yet? They must surely be on your list after all this FE!

I got it for £12.45 off of Play-Asia a couple of months ago, it's an excellent game, it's £15.63 or something now, and shipping doesn't cost much.

@Azuardo: You just have to grab it from Play-Asia at that price.

Heh yeah, I'm pretty much addicted to the series right now. I've already got my eyes on a good offer for a new copy of Radiant Dawn but Path of Radiance is going to be a bitch, since it's much rarer. It's a prequel too, so I have to get and play it first. Probably going to charge my Paypal account tomorrow and start carefully looking through the offers on ebay while hoping for the best.
