Resident Evil 5 and 6 for Steam, but gotta wait for the keys to come.

Really surprised that they are translating it in Serbian.
Yeah, the third volume came out about a week ago, and new ones are coming out bi-monthly.
 
Bought another Raspberry Pi 2 today for my older bro's girlfriend. She was looking a media player that can stream stuff from some UPNP server they had set up and she took a looking to the Raspy Pi I had sitting my living room.
 
Garlic and paprika thin slice beef steaks. Delicious beyond all reason. My treat for how well my weight loss is going. Steak is actually fairly healthy if it's done right so provided I don't eat them all at once it doesn't really affect my diet any.
 
I got my new Phone, Droid Turbo. Charge goes for a couple of days if I'm careful.
 
I bought quite a few things since I last posted (a month and a half ago), so prepare for a mega post! Note that these aren't particularly in order of purchase:
  • Demon's Souls (PS3)- I started playing Dark Souls, but a couple hours in, and I couldn't force myself to play it before the original game that it succeeds. Really fun game, so far.
  • Tales of Xillia (PS3)- $15 at Walmart. I've played a little of Tales of the Abyss on the 3DS, but have no other real experience with the series. Pretty fun so far, and definitely a more interesting battle system than most JRPGs I've played.
  • Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition (360)- $15 at Walmart. After a lifetime of avoiding GTA due to disinterest, I figured the time had finally come to give the series a shot. It's pretty fun so far, and the cinematic presentation is actually quite a bit better than I expected.
  • Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (PS3)- I rather liked the first game on 360, so I figured to buy the sequel on PS3, so I could actually play the online component (I don't have gold). However, I absolutely hate the fact that the aim and fire buttons are mapped to L1/R1, with no option to change it L2/R2. Seriously, why are full button mappings not a thing in video games? I don't care about the online mode THAT much, so I seriously might take it back to GameStop and exchange for the 360 version, before the 7 day return policy runs out.
  • Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (PS3)- $10 at Walmart. I tried the PS2 version a couple years back, and couldn't stand how juvenile the story felt, and how poorly paced the gameplay felt. But I'm a bit more open-minded about gaming than I used to be, so I figured I'd give it another shot. A couple hours in, I still think the presentation and voice acting is laughably bad, but let's see where it takes me.
  • Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (Wii U eShop)- Yes, I already had it for the 3DS. No, I don't care. I really wanted to play a Zelda II/Metroid/Castlevania-like game, and really wanted to play on the big screen, for some reason. :P
  • Shovel Knight (PSN)- Yes, I already had this on 3DS, Wii U, and Steam. No, I don't care. I'm absolutely obsessed with this game.
  • La-Mulana EX (Vita)- Looked like a cool Metroidvania, so I picked it up when it was on sale. Unfortunately, My PS Vita memory card unexpectedly died (I only had it for 6 months... dafuq?), so I won't be playing it for a while. :(
  • Zombie Incident (3DS eShop)- I don't always impulse buy games, but when I do, they're only $1.25 and at least remotely resemble Metroidvania titles.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Wii U VC)- I already have the Wii VC version, so upgrading to the Wii U version was only a couple dollars. Why not?
  • Bayonetta DLC for Anarchy Reigns (PS3)- You guys probably know I love Bayonetta. Of course I bought this! :P
  • Ryu, Roy, Lucas, and Dream Land 64 DLC for Super Smash Bros. (3DS/Wii U)- I couldn't care less about the mii fighter costumes, so I didn't bother getting the big bundle, but I did get the "cross-buy" bundles for the characters and stages.
  • Yoshi Amiibo (Super Smash Bros. version)- The addiction begins! And what better way to start than with my Smash 4 main?
  • Yoshi Amiibo (Mario series version)- In case you can't tell, I love Yoshi. I can't wait for the Yarn Yoshi amiibo!
  • Matinee movie ticket to see Jurassic World- The movie is pretty much a gritty reboot of Super Mario World. :P
  • Food- SO MUCH FOOD!
Okay, I think that's everything. Hopefully I didn't forget anything.

I haven't actually shared anything that I purchased in here recently, so I guess I'll give a small update:

- Bought the character DLC and stage DLC for SSB 3DS. Screw the Mii stuff.
- Bought Hatsune Miku Project Dive F 2nd and Freedom Wars for my Vita for less than $30 total
- Just this morning I won an auction for FFX Vita for $17.50. I still had X-2 due to the whole digital download only thing, and I sold FFX after I beat it before for frustrating me. I'm willing to give it another go knowing what I'm doing though. I probably could have just bought a full bundle and sold off the X-2 code, but I'm lazy.
- Tales of Graces F became mine courtesy of the Big in Japan sale going on with EU PSN. It was only about $11 after currency conversion and such. I beat it once before from my roommate's copy and really enjoyed it, so I thought it was worth a purchase.
- Spec Ops: The Line for my PS3 because it was only $4
- Yakuza 4 because it was only $6 (I haven't started it yet)

That's all I can think of. I should really beat a game at some point. I'm closest with Spec Ops, so I'll probably finish that soon enough. The gameplay kind of blows, but the story is good, so I'd say I got my $4 worth.
