:eek::eek::eek:

You've gotta get that restored, if possible, dude as that is a piece of History! ;):cool:
Congratulations dude, not a bad find IMO. :D

[KillinSpoon]

Got an early birthday present off of mum. A white les paul :)

Nice! You'll have to play it for us at the Year end party :D

[SGB]

New PSU for my computer. By sheer coincidence the new PSU I purchased was the same make and model as my old one, which I didn't realise until I removed the old PSU.

[jena]

I got a white iPhone 4S today. And before you say anything, I didn't want to wait for the mysterious iPhone 5 because I had a 3GS and I felt like I was using an antique. And the iPhone 5 could still be a year away. I just need to get it up and start asking Siri stupid questions.

[Reflector]

finally, after months of girlfriend pestering...she finally let me buy the ultimate shed aquisition.

Holy S***! - Where on earth did you find that?, it would've cost a mint too! :eek::eek::eek:
A damn top acquisition man, congratulations; now I know why you were holding back on all those other things. ;):cool:

Those kids really don't know how lucky they are, they're getting to muck around with something most kids these days would simply have no idea/concept of - making this acquisition all the more significant for all the right reasons. ;):)

[Reflector]

Thanks guys, i was pretty pumped about getting it, the kids love it. Even my girlfriend had a go and was enjoying it.

1AZRAEL1 you know its here anytime you want haha

acquisition of the year!!! :eek:

[Doubledealer]

I think you're right Loopster, that is one amazing acquisition for a number of reasons!

Reflector, do you have to feed coins into it to play or can you set it to not require money? Great buy dood :D

[Fungal Infection]

That is awesome, I'm hoping to build my own MAME cabinet during the Xmas break using instructions from the net and my own set up. But it cant compare to owning an original cabinet. I've seen ads in the paper for pre-built cabinets with 2500 pre-installed games and 2 x 6 button joysticks going for $1500. How much did it set you back if you dont mind me asking?

[Aqua Prime]

:)I bought this at the beginning of the year but have been a little lazy posting pics, this aquisition slowed my collecting down:o

You've got good taste in cars ;)

[kurdt_the_goat]

That arcade machine is nothing, check out these awesome acquisitions!! :D

I figured this was the best place to post my new erm, acquisition. He's about 8 weeks old, quite big and can make a lot of noise when things dont go his way =P

It isnt a great photo of him but hes still kinda shy... His names Yoshi and hes an Eclectus parrot =]

I like the rich green colour of it's feathers man :eek::cool:, not a cheap bird I imagine. :p

For those interested this is my latest acquisition. I've been quite on here a lot lately, been trying to keep the money in my account.... This didn't help that.

Suzuki Intruder VL250 2002- 13000k's on the clock :) It took a fair while to clean, polish. Just need to remove the rest of the sticker residue under the seat you can see.....

Finally took the delivery of my iaito today, it's been two long months waiting for them to do a custom:

http://i.imgur.com/BBLXb.jpg

Went with the namichidori + Ho-O furniture with navy silk ito/sageo.

http://i.imgur.com/Ft1oC.jpg

More importantly, she's perfectly balanced and so easy to wield even though it's a habahiro wide blade! So stoked for the next training session as I'll be grading in a week! ;)

[1AZRAEL1]

I bought something really expensive, but so worth it :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/1AZRAEL1/Ice2.jpg

And for size comparison... (it is massive and heavy)

Thanks Hursticon, mine is just a little shy of $900 but I expect to be using it for the next 6 years or more at the dojo and at home :D.

Ontopic, just bought a founder's pack for Mechwarrior Online!

Nice dude! Looks awesome!!

Remember to keep it oiled. I just used to use sewing machine oil and rub a little on with a soft rag, Use too much and it'll get in the scabbard and go all icky. Oil it every month or so. You'd be surprised how quick they get rust spots on them if you forget or are lazy.

$420 for Ice and $100 for Dark Link's sword. Ice is very heavy, but I'd never swing it lol

Thanks mate, yeah I bought some chuji oil and will oil it regularly. I have to do it at the end of every training in fact, for habit forming. To be honest I find myself addicted to the clove oil smell :eek:.

Bought my first SSD hard drive online today, a Sandisk Extreme 240GB (550R/520W). Looking forward to booting into Windows in 5.5 seconds. :D

Also bought a HDD caddy so I can install the original 2.5" HDD that came with my ThinkPad T420 as a 2nd drive. Oh hellz yeah! :p

Unfortunately no I've not made the jump yet :o, though I think when it comes time to build a new machine I'll do just that in tandem with Windows 7 :cool: - "Going back in time" with work, isn't that always the case? ;):p

I didn't know whether to post this in the sharing joy thread or this one! I have been after one of these since my pool hall days back in Uni (I don't have enough fingers to count how long ago that was!) We are building a house atm and this is getting pride of place on the wall!

Not quite as cool as a new car (imagine's Larry Emdure from the price is right saying that!) but it's up there for me :)

I know what you mean. If I had the space in the garage I'd keep both of them. The giant is a good one for riding on the bike track down here, and keep the monster for the bush. But I can only have one, so the monster it is:cool:

:p:D Just kidding dude, a cool little pooch - What are you going to call it?

[kurdt_the_goat]

We're gonna rename her Kuri (she's been named Tori by the breeder already) for a few reasons:

1) After Kuribo in Super Mario Bros (Kuri is Chestnut in Japanese but that doesn't have much significance, though i guess you could say the colour is kinda similar!)
2) My wife's previous Yorkshire Terriers were called Lily & Anri. She likes the ending sound of the words (ri/li) cause apparantly dogs have an easy time recognizing it.
3) It sounds cute :p

The new project - A 1999 GT Performer. Was my wife's bike when she was younger. She stopped riding it so we gave it to my little brother. He doesn't ride it so I got it back. I'm gonna fix it up for my niece. She needs a bike. :D

Had a ride this arvo and it still goes well. I may end up keeping it for myself as a cruiser and just buy her one :p

Any good? My brother was asking about them.

[jazzcomp]

Depends on your expectation of what you need it for. For a basic tablet and the price, it's ok for me. I liked it better than the 7" version.

I havent had the chance to play the wii u for a heavy gaming session as there is no game out there that has sparked my interest to actually do so. But i did buy batman arkham city armored edition and intend to play that out for a while. Waiting on new zelda, mario kart, fire emblem games.

I try the wii u in the store and it was quite heavy the controller , so just wondering if it did affect after long session...and does the screen thing actually get used when playing or just a gimmick ...And your right there no killer game out that worth it for me to get it right now...

Yeah the wii u pad to me still feels strange and uncomfortable to hold in the hand, and it basically works like a touch screen handheld console of its own.

Heavy controller? You sure they didn't weigh it down a bit so it wouldn't get flogged? The Gamepad is quiet light for it's size and for it's components. It's actually not much heavier than an XBOX controller.

It does feel weird at first coz other controllers are smaller and more comapct. And as for long gaming sessions, it's not like you hold it up towards the screen, you just rest it in your hands or lap like you do when using PS3 or XBOX controllers.

As for the screen, depending on the game, it can either be used partly in game as an in-game menu/pasue menu, map, and some games have off-screen play, which means you can play the game on the Gamepad screen alone. This is good if the wife or kids want to use the TV, or you want to play in bed or elsewhere in the house. I also installed Netflix on my Wii U so i can watch TV show and movies on my Gamepad. Great stuff.

Just received my order from JB HiFi's current "Horror Movie Sale (http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/dvds-on-sale/horror-sale.htm)"; 24x Films in total with many being LONG time favourites that've been upgraded from DVD and a handful that I didn't previously own, Halloween is going to be in HD this year! :D:cool:

^This may sound a little strange, but... I don't think that the Toy Story collection really fits in well? Then again, it probably would be scary if Toy Story were to happen in real life... :p

Nice collection, and lots of classics I see. Enjoy your Halloween viewing, I hope you survive it! ;):D

My 1st introduction to Horror films was Stephen King (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_King)'s - "The Graveyard Shift (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6u4z-OqgSM)" at about 6 or 7 years old, so I reckon I should be able to survive. :D
(I 1st saw "Aliens (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKSQmYUaIyE)" when I was 4 or 5 but I think of that more as a Scifi ;))

Cheers! :D

It does look good doesn't it? - The ad said that it was a Hardcover & Leather-bound Edition, so at $30 (23% off thanks to a "Halloween Sale") I just couldn't turn it down. :cool:

Much like yourself, I've never read any of H.P. Lovecraft's work either but have heard the name & seen numerous references to it throughout my life, in various forms of media.
So I thought it was high-time that I take a look into the Lovecraftian world and this particular volume seems to present a good serving of tales, as it collects, amongst other things, all of the original Cthulu stories! :eek:

It's the concept of the "Old Ones" or "The Old Gods" that have courted my curiosity the most with Lovecraft (Along with my deep affinity for the Supernatural, Mythological, Occult & Horror) and is the main driving factor of this purchase. ;)

In all it seems to collect 37, or so, of the stories that Lovecraft published through the various Sci-fi magazines of his day - I can't wait to start delving through them so once I have I might follow this post up with a bit of an update. :)

[Kazza]

Awesome Hursticon, as a kid in primary school when goosebumps were huge, I had collected every book. Until one day I decided to offload them to a mate (who I don't see any more) after I read all of them. I loved the covers on their book and preferred the choose your own adventure stories.

Hehe :D,

Yeah, I used to borrow many of them to read from a friend, only had a couple myself, but never really did read every single one - You're dead-right about the covers though as they were a major draw factor for me also. :cool:

The "You choose the scare" style books were certainly an interesting twist, at least that's what I thought back in the day :p, I only think I read a couple of those - I sort of preferred the normal style more. :o

some slinky shorts, brand new baseball cleats(though buy the time of this photo they have already seen a game, not quite as shiny as they were the day before:D) baseball pants and a pair of sliders. all shipped for about $190 when the shoes alone would have easily cost that much here.

for anyone wondering what makes baseball cleats special:

Got my Neodrop today!!

Very cool little toy.

It was a Kickstarter thing. A friend and I both ordered them. I got lucky and got a good unit, his isn't as high on the QC chain.

There's no point in me posting photos of it, as they don't really show what'd cool about it.

Check out the vid in the link to see it in action. (It's under 2min).

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1323897061/neodrop-interactive-ferrofluid-display

Very pleased with it, and it matches my coffee table perfectly, which is always a plus.

Iron filings in water. Cool idea.

[Cat]

It's quite fun.

Mine is great. My friend was not so lucky. But even though his is a dud, he's still really happy with it considering it was only $30.

And it's a nice bonus that it complements my coffee table perfectly.

[UltraMarginal]

that really is a cool concept. very tempted to get one of my own.

what is it about your friends that's not quite up to scratch?

[Cat]

The fit and finish on his aren't nearly as polished as mine is. His is really rough. Also, his magnets weren't glued into the metal handles (easily fixable, but he has to buy a certain type of glue to do it).

He said that his looks like a prototype of mine, and he's right. Side by side, you'd think his was a test shot of mine.

Even with those issues, he's still happy with it.

[Cat]

Unbelievable.

Less than two minutes later BOTH my magnets became unglued. One is stuck inside, and they're very strong, so that's going to be a pain to fix.

Looks like I'll need to borrow his glue.

On Thursday my Amazon music order arrived!, containing the following albums:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BYDSlamCEAA9CY1.jpg:large


Fear Factory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_Factory)'s - "Obsolete (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete_(album))" (Digipak)

Nine Inch Nails (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Inch_Nails)' - "Pretty Hate Machine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Hate_Machine)" (2010 Remaster)
________________"The Fragile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fragile_(Nine_Inch_Nails_album))"
________________"Year Zero (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_(album))"
________________"Ghosts I-IV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghosts_I%E2%80%93IV)"

Gave all of NiN's studio albums a solid listening a month or so ago (via YouTube) & noted down all that REALLY hit me in my musical tastes, they now accompany my previously sole "The Downward Spiral" CD - Really digging these tunes. :D:cool:

[Cat]

Huge NIN fan.

Was lucky enough to see them at Big Day Out years ago.

I like the new album too. The reviews seemed a bit mixed, but it works for me.

I also recommend the live DVD they released. It's great, and the rendition of 'Right Where It Belongs' with the projected images playing behind them is just magical.

First helmet and sword for my combat reenactment. Getting a spear made and heading up the coast to buy some more medieval gear from a business up there. I need a gambeson to be able to fight at this big event in April, and they have them on sale until the end of the month.

They are indeed hand made. There are a few businesses around that make this, and other medieval items by hand. A mostly lost art. And they aren't always cheap like these were.

yeah. i remember you mentioning something about that. i've been looking for one for ages. this one is a 51, 4 on the floor (i've got a toploader sitting in the shed for when the time comes). starts well but i think the timing is out. the body is pretty good but the paint is rubbish. i just want to get it running right , get the suspension and steering tight then go from there. i just want to make it into a tough falcon 500 (which is what it is). it was originally a polar white, 221ci, 3 on the tree. Got any recent pics of yours?

Awesome!

What was required?

you just simply go into a archery store and get one .....:D
there no requirement like license or anything , you should go to your local archery club and try out a compound bow ....which is different to a recurve bow which usually the one that they have at "try archery fun" days...
I went to the fun days a while back just to try it out and it was fun but wasn't that interested in it, but then one friend got a compound bow and let me try it ...it was a whole other ball game to me...I just loved it....
So you go down to your local archery club and ask them to try both type as it a personal preference of which type you like , they always very friendly and helpful .
Only from then if you like it , you should get your own bow .... as it need to be set to your measurement ... as all bow are customised to the owner , which a bow store will do that for you when you buy one....
The bow and accessories are quiet expensive , but you only need to buy them once and they last a very long time....
so give it a try and you won't regret it .....
...gee ....I sound like a commercial :D

Beyond "Around The World (http://youtu.be/s9MszVE7aR4)", I'm not really a fan of Daft Punk eh? - I think "One More Time (http://youtu.be/FGBhQbmPwH8)" just drove me insane with how often it was played, but anyway... :p

I really dig TRON: Legacy and I felt Daft Punk did an utterly amazing job with the Score/Soundtrack, so felt compelled to purchase the CD - It audibly compliments the visuals of the film perfectly. :cool:

So over the past month and a bit I've acquired some varying odds and ends...

First up, A number of pretty sweet Skeleton Warriors (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=18663) additions to my collection:

An original (Brand New w/ Tag) kids 1994 Skeleton Warriors cap! :D:cool:
The CBS Network "Action Zone" Promotional Comic (1st time Skeleton Warriors was featured in the Comic Book medium!) :cool:
A WICKED! pair of commissioned prints (Only A4 Copy Shown) depicting Shriek courtesy of lcz128! :eek::D:D:D
3x Colouring & Activity Books! :cool:

Also picked up the "Collectors Edition" Blu-Ray release of my FAVOURITE Canadian Horror film: "Ginger Snaps (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JJOY41E/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_jtZbub0PPR0QA)"! :D:D:D

I've gone into plenty of detail here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=19250) about BabyMetal's debut album, but I also picked up Limp Bizkit's debut album too! - It just took me 17 years longer to do so! :p:D

Have also been making a steady head-way into the world of H.P. Lovecraft, thanks to this Leather-bound Collection described here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=381210&highlight=Lovecraft#post381210), and as a result I've found myself entirely enthralled by his work so I sought & obtained a far more comprehensive tome of his scripture - The result was this superb piece of chronologically comprised literature... ;):cool:

...and to cap this post off; I obtained this complete (Thus far ;)) set of "Game of Thrones" novels from an Op-Shop for the grand total of $10! :eek::D
(Only the 1st book has been used, the rest have never been read!)

I've always been a big fan of the mid-90s Casper Movie; Whether it's the idea of befriending a Ghost, the exploration of abandoned (Haunted) mansions or a long held "Childhood Crush" on Cristina Ricci... :p - I still enjoy it to this day. :cool:

So I preordered the new HD-Remaster of the film on Blu-Ray via Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KW3A6E0/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_-X8gub0VWMJKZ) and it arrived last week! :D

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxXxNV2CMAAeCsP.jpg:large


I'm actually quite impressed with the remaster as it's FAR better in terms of quality of both sound & vision, compared to the DVD I bought only last year ;) - so much so, and due to my love of the film, that I decided to track down the Soundtrack/Score on CD! :D

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxtyBvECIAI2G2N.jpg:large

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxtyENtCMAApzcQ.jpg:large


The film's score, to me, has always been superb; It carries a whimsicaly-spooky feel with moments feel quite cartoony indeed, whilst also drawing upon the tragedy of Casper's story for some emotional moments too. ;):)

The film has held up rather well actually and I'd recommend picking up the Blu-Ray if you're a nostalgia-tragic like myself, or if you've got children and you're looking for something kid-friendly in-time for Halloween next month. :cool:

Cheers man, yeah I've been pretty amazed by what I've been able to find - Some of these CDs have been practically brand new, whilst others show the signs of a well used life! ;):p

Had a pretty lucky day at the last local Trash & Treasure/Flea Markets last Sunday; Had another lucky "Metal Haul" worth of CDs, all for just $8! :eek::D

Asus zenfone 2, 32gb 4gb ram, 1.8ghz quad intel, microsd, lollipop 5.

Had an android tablet for a long time, and an iphone, but thid time i hpgraded to 6s+ to keep ny plan and give the phone to my wife and she keep her much cheaper plan. Very happy with the specs and price, its the same size as 6s+, just getting used to using android for more, and missing a few little quality of life things that iOS make tasks easier.

Actually had it for 3 weeks now, and when i went to download hearthstone i saw so so many reviews saying 'doesnt work this update, im using asus zenfone 2/5/6' etc. so was a bit like ah crap... but i doenloaded it and it works fine /shrug

$7.5k to get both done. I'm guessing double D but I'm no expert.

be careful of those ones on ebay man, there is a guy selling massive amounts of fakes on there

It's all good, I've already got them all, just wanted some more so I could start over, haha. I'm pretty sure they are fake though cause some of the music and sound effects are off haha. Cheers for the heads up though :)
