July 2013 stuff

The Walking Dead Rise of the Governor arrived in the post today. On Friday I picked up Ikaruga, Golden Sun The Lost Age, Metal Gear Solid Ghost Babel, N64 Controller, Assassins Creed 3, The Last of Us, and Castlevania Lords of Shadows Mirror of Fate.

I haven't played a single one of them yet. After cleaning up the N64 controller, I've been non-stop cleaning, tidying, and working on my Nintendo Handheld covers. I'm glad to say, I have finally finished that fucking template! LOL.

This arrived in the mail today. Now to track down a 3DS so I can actually play it....

25 3DS cases for my GB/C games, large stylus for my DSiXL (since the previous owner lost the original), and a backpack shaped like an NES controller. I'm a sucker for things with an NES controller motif.

I see someone else is going to make use of my template, post some pictures when you are all cases up.
Even with me being one of the main cover makers for the case, I have yet to purchase any, Sucks you can only buy 30 at a time, but I already chose what games I'm going to case.

My laptop should be arriving any day now.

Found some framed movie posters at a garage sale.

$40 for the 3 of them.  Mainly bought for the frames as Im sure 3 of them would run more than $40.

Not sure if the movie posters are original / worth anything.  Anyone know how to check that?

Also got project x-zone ltd edition which I placed next to the posters to show the size of them.

I don't think that an official theater sized poster was ever made for Boondock Saints. But authentic movie posters are double sided, that's one way to check.

Sure, I'll post it over in the thread for them

Edit: Here you go.

I picked up Singularity at Goodwill the other day for $5. I watched this review to see if it was something I'd want to keep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAfkT7t2ktA

After watching, I realized it was definitely right up my alley and it also led me to this next review of Wolfenstein. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyOnPy7UydQ

Picked it up today for $7.77 otd.



I'm a big fan of the Doom and Quake series so I look forward to going through Singularity and Wolfenstein once I finish the Doom3 campaign on nightmare difficulty. I remember playing Wolfenstein3d on my Jaguar in the 90s.  Still need to pick that one up some time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B47U7xMYb80

Noah's Ark NICE! I always thought that game looked interesting. Wish it had been released here in NA.
