A hooker.

Well excuuuuuse me, it's not like I got around renting hookers all day.

I finished paying off my Zelda Wii U bundle at GameStop. Now for the long wait...

I also picked up Tomb Raider Trilogy and Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater.

I already have the latter in the MGS Legacy Collection, but wanted a way to play it on the go. I ended up returning it though because the frame rate was god awful to the point where I couldn't possibly enjoy it. Plus the control scheme is awful. I know it's designed with the CPP in mind, but even other CPP-suggested games like Resident Evil: Revelations have great single-stick controls.

I used the return credit to get Twilight Princess on Wii (for collection purposes) and Batman Arkham Asylum: GotY Edition on PS3. My gf has been wanting to play the latter, so we'll see how that goes.

BUT THE TREEEDDDD MAKES IT MORE IMMERSIVE!

I still can't believe I bought that bastard version of the gaem.

[Thanatos Telos]

My Dreamcast (NTSC-J) came in yesterday, and I bought Castlevania Legends (GB) (NTSC-J), Link's Awakening DX (GB/C), Ginga Denshou (FDS), a Sharp RF converter for the Twin famicom (in the hope that it works for the famicom as well), and this puppy:

Spoiler

If you paid more than a tenner for it, I feel sorry for you.

Anyway, got a set of Yu-Gi-Oh cards because nostalgia.

If all your knowledge of retro gaming comes from AVGN you are the one who should be pitied.

Not really. (I have an SNES and N64) But the Jaguar still sucked.
That was just the first video that came to mind.

The 3D in that gaem isn't even that good, as far as 3DS gaemz go. How they were able to put so much effort into entirely new graphics, but not into the frame rate, controls, or titular 3D effect is beyond me.

 

[Joe88]

This thing.

What I really wanted was this but it's $100 around here and the Gerber was $20.

It's decent enough. It lacks a nail file and scissors, but that's why I have this little guy.

I have a Leatherman PST myself

 

[Veho]

I have a Leatherman PST myself

Nice.
I have... some kind of large Leatherman multitool but it's too huge and heavy to carry around in a pocket.

all my knowledge comes from hookers.... is that ok?

Yes, it is up to your mother to educate you!

Yup, I'm waiting for mine via ModchdipsDirect. Ordered it the same day I picked up the 3DS XL!

edit: The owner reset the 3DS and thankfully did not update it. The wireless came disabled and I put I blocked all wireless/internet features with a passcode lock! Not making the same mistake with my original 3DS that's on 6.0 AND continuously asking me to update!

Just bought a new TV. Got sick of not having a decent screen for my PS3 gaming.

What TV?

 

[Blaze163]

What TV?

Nothing flashy, just a 19 inch LED. Full 1080p, HDMI, USB connection, etc. Not gonna complain for only £50.

other purchases include DOA 5 Ultimate Edition, Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, and COD Black Ops 2 (was only a tenner).

I had some Skullcandy Low Riders a few years back, got them from a market for a tenner. The folding ones. They were awesome sound quality, at least compared to the Poundland ones I was using before. Must invest in some more.
