  • Razer Deathadder 2013 Mouse
  • Steelseries QcK+ Mouse Pad
  • Steelseries 6Gv2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
  • Tripplite ISOBAR8ULTRA Surge Protector
  • Spigen New Coated 2 Backpack
I was able to buy all of this because of my recent 2 jobs I got which is Starbucks and a gym front desk/personal trainer. I also got a dog walking job and one of the dogs has three legs but somehow he is able to run with no problem.

I bought a couple things on my trip to my parents' for this Thanksgiving.

From GameStop on the way to my parents'... (buy 2, get 1 preowned deal)...
-Lollipop Chainsaw (PS3)
-Ōkamiden (DS)
-Red Steel 2 (Wii)

From the incredibly awesome used Bookshop in Chapel Hill...
-"Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment," by James Patterson (a book series I absolutely loved years ago before the series went to shit, I want to rebuild my collection of books I got rid of, such as this one)
-"Stormbreaker," by Anthony Horowitz (a book I tried to read years ago, but forgot about and never finished)

When I went out to eat with friends...
-Bojangles' for breakfast on Friday
-Iced tea from Big Lots (yeah, I know)
-a calzone for lunch
-Various ingredients and snacks for "Sausage Fest" (a sort of silly annual tradition of my best friend, my girlfriend, and myself where we grill sausages and have fun while my friend house sits for his aunt)
-Sonic for dinner on the way back home

From the same GameStop on the way home...
-Red DSLite (a christmas gift for my brother, on sale for $40 for Black Friday weekend)
-Carrying case (albeit for DSi, but fits the DSLite nonetheless)

- A Killzone: Mercenary download from Amazon for $19.99; unfortunately both PSN and my internet connection are slow today, so while the game itself is downloaded I've only got a third of the whopping 1.2GB patch downloaded.

- A Gateway NV570P10U 15.6" i5 touch notebook. 4GB/500GB isn't spectacular for a $329 machine, but I plan on swapping in the 750GB HDD and 4GB of the RAM from my current subnotebook anyways.

Every time Killzone Mercenary asks me to update, I look at the size of it and say "Yeah no". I don't even play online anyways. Personally I think 1.2GB is waaaaay too big of a patch for a handheld game.

I bought Space Harrier 3D for my 3DS in the eShop. It's a nice port of the arcade version in 3D! Also bought Mega Man 2, 3, and 4 when they were on sale last week.

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous. I'm betting they started printing the game before the open beta went live and then created a massive quick 'n dirty patch to try and shore up some of the more serious issues. They've even said that the next patch will have no purpose but to shrink the size of the existing patches by around 800MB. Really should upgrade to a 32GB card soon, though; had to uninstall Zen Pinball and its tables to make room for everything.

Oh hell, I would get a 32GB card. I would LOVE to have that much space. But Sony can go screw themselves if they think I'm just going to willingly accept being ripped off.

I was able to snag a 32GB card for $50. I guess that's the lowest it will get for a while. :/
EDIT: Probably will drop again when the 64GB card comes to America.

I broke the bank today, spent much more than I normally do for a weekend. Felt the need to come brag (... or cry) about it. :\

  • Random Steam Games
= $1,264.04+ well spent?
Overall I'm very happy to have picked up an Xbox 360 since I've never bought into any of Microsoft's consoles and the price seems to be quite decent now. I'm amazingly excited to see how the firmware interface and functionality compares to that of the PS3. I'm aiming for this to be a Christmas present to myself so hopefully I can restrain myself from opening it until then.
As for the PS3 purchase, it was a little hard to justify as I already have a PS3. The main reasoning behind purchasing it was for the 3 games packaged with it + an extra controller. Purchasing them separately would have cost me $287 at local stores so I'm quite happy for a $112 PS3.

Lastly, whilst not strictly related to purchases, the idea of having a Xbox 360 forced me to clean those hard to reach places, organize things and most importantly give my PS3 a good blow out. The amount of dust which came out of that thing was spectacular and it has now reverted to its super quiet state rather than sounding like it is getting ready for blast off. :D
