I picked up Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition on the Wii U eShop, and I kind of regret it. Not because I dislike the game, but because I somehow got confused and thought it was only on Wii U, 3DS, and PC. Had I known it was available on PSN with cross-buy features, I would've gotten it for PS3 instead. I absolutely hate when Wii U games release with lazy forced-gamepad use and display that you can't turn off. There's literally not a single gamepad specific feature to this game, so it doesn't make sense, either.

I also bought two tickets to see Transformers: Age of Extinction this past Friday, because I hate myself, and I'm a deadly loyal fanboy (remember, I'm the same guy who trudged through Sonic '06 and Metroid Other M under my own free will).

I also bought a 10 pack of Duracell batteries (for game controllers) and a new pair of skullcandy headphones, to replace the ones that broke. The cheap $1 headphones I had sitting in my closet (I was broke at the time) just wasn't cutting it anymore.

I also picked up about 7 books at the used bookshop close to my hometown. There's no real bookstore where I live now (really sad), so my girlfriend and I make sure to stop by this nice one by UNC, Chapel Hill whenever we visit family.

Got TWEwY: Solo Remix on Google Play. (after 2 years, Square finally decided to press the 'Compile for Android' button in Unity)
It's a decent port, but it uses sprites from the iPhone version, which look really pixelated on my 2560x1600 screen. Cutscenes are not rendered with sprites now...instead, they are really compressed videos and they do not look good, even compared to the original...
Combat is a lot easier (no dual screen mechanics), which does make the port something more than an HD paintjob of the original.
Worth my 15 bucks, tho. It's still an excellent game.

Got a gateway compatible 3ds for £30 off a friend. Not in great condition (the outer case) screens are perfect though as screen protectors. Both parties happy so now just need a gateway to go with it lol

I've finally gotten the Nintendo keyboard that was included in the pokémon typing game thing. Such awesome device for 5Eur. A steal!

And the game was included. It's shit, whatever. I won't add it to my Backloggery for now as I have no intention of playing it. I will keep playing with my keyboard now.

During the remainder of my trip this past week, I stopped by a rather large fleamarket (something I never do since I'm rarely near one). I unfortunately didn't have time to comb the whole place, but I picked up three more books and a copy of Star Fox (SNES).

More importantly, I picked up two N64s and a GCN. They were all missing everything aside from the decks themselves (no port covers, jumper packs, or cables), but at only $25 altogether, I just couldn't resist. I tested them all with my hookups at home, and they all work perfectly. :D Only thing that needs to be done is a cleaning on the reset buttons for the GCN and one of the N64s (they're jammed inward), so I'll need to pick up one of those special screwdrivers to open them up.

When I'm done, I'll give one N64 to my brother back at home, but I'm not yet sure what I'll do with the other N64 or the GCN. I suppose I could flip them, but that feels like such an uncreative waste. I much rather give the gift of classic gaming to my loved ones. :wub:

Technically I didn't pay for them...but I built and put together 3 PCs for work for the future office my boss will be getting. Cost about ~$350 each not including monitors and keyboards.

Specs:
AMD A6-5400K
4GB G.Skill DDR3 RAM
500W Thermaltake PSU (one of which was DOA ._.)
1TB HDD
An ASUS DVD-ROM drive (since we don't plan on burning any discs)
An ASUS wifi card

Cheap and perfect for basic office work.
