Griffin came around to visit today during the end of his trip to New Zealand.
During my visit to his house in 2006, I must have really mentioned that I LOVED Chicken Twistees.

Thermaltake Element G Gaming case
Looks like you're going to have a fun weekend putting all that together, Zippo. :) I wish I'd bought a case with the buttons/ports on the top!!
The weekend is already too busy, so I may have to hold off until next.Quote:

With all the cash floating around from sales, I decided to splurge again and get myself an iPod Touch.
I was originally just going to get an 8GB, until I read that that 32/64GB versions had the faster processor like the 3GS iPhones..
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...2009Haul09.jpg
So I blew thge budget just a tad and got a 32GB, with a free (crappy) power charger and discounted screen protectors.
And pictures of the assumed computer.
Not 100% happy, as the modular power supply (made by the same people who made the case) has very short ATX and ATX_12V power leads meaning I could not go behind the motherboard as planned.

EDIT: Those yellow SATA cables you see sticking through the case are to be connected to the hard drives. I just needed the main HDD to be detected first, hense leaving them unplugged.
Bunch of blank DVDs.
Bought 3 Watchmen Tshirts from Jay Jays yesterday
Hopefully just bought 4 BDO tickets, sold out in 5 mins wowa
Seeing as how there is bugger all left in the rotf line that interests me I've gotten back into my only collecting habit that is older than TFs. Retro video games. Naturally Cashies are my new best buddies with their glorious ignorance to the value of a game that doesn't have Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong written on the cart. Most recent pick ups include
Sega Master System
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World
Indiana Jones & the last Crusade
Alien Syndrome
Strider
Sega Mega Drive
the Incredible Hulk
Batman Returns
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Nintendo 64
Space Station Silicone Vally
Mystical Ninja starring Goemon
Sadly haven't got much for the NES and Super NES due to lack of stock and/or horrible prices
picked up some molotow cans the other day =]
Those games are awesome!Quote:

I got another Thermaltake Element G case to replace the one a few posts above. Pitty it has the same issue, but i'm over it. Need a computer.
Should have just bought a new corsair power supply. It's sheer madness you didn't.
As for my most recent non-tf thing of note, probably my new phone.
I got sick of my LG chocolate running out of battery power every two days, and this is with a "new" battery too. I figured the only way to get a decent battery life is to just get a new phone. So I got a nokia 3120 for $99. Freaking bargain. USB data cable is on it's way from ebay for it too. :)
Tickets to Amon Amarth and Arch Enemy wooo!
I found it amusing that a support band is called Bane of Isildur.

Got myself 3 ds stylus from ebay.

Just installing Dead Space on PC now (arrived today from England). Hoping I'll enjoy this a lot more with the improved controls and the added immersion PC gaming provides (played 3 levels in on PS3 previously).
Spewing I couldn't get Friday off work to spend all day playing Uncharted 2. :(

Dead space! what a great game! dont you like the controls on PS3? it took me a while to get used to them.
I found the PS3 controls too sluggish for a game as intensely action packed as DS. Another thing that annoyed me was the size of the text when it came to reading ship logs etc.Quote:

Note: For those who haven't but intend to play the PC version of Dead Space be sure to turn off V-Sync as there is a bug with the game that causes sluggish controls when it's enabled.
PC version of Dead Space running at 1680 X 1050 with all details on max. So realistic you can smell the blood. :D

Woah, thats pretty gory!
Good point with the ship logs, i was never able to read them properly, and improved aiming would be good because sometimes it was difficult to aim for the 'limbs' in time!
well enjoy finishing the game!
Picked up Uncharted 2 + satchet bag from GAME, a sixpack and am about to order Thai. Tonight is going to be a gooooood night. :D Traded in Zelda: TP on Wii and only had to pay an extra $19 for Uncharted 2!!
I'll deffently be grabbing Uncharted 2, after I finish my newest: Brütal Legend! Tim Schafer is a god.

Turtles in Time was on SNES and its f'ing expensive (there was a TMNT 3 on NES called: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project, I've never seen a copy and can only assume it sells for a high price)Quote:

I picked up Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness on N64 the other day.
- Dragonball: Revenge of King Piccolo
- TMNT: Smash Up
TMNT is a hit an miss game, its a Smash Brothers clone, without the finesse and class of Smash brothers.
Dragonball is decent but repetitive. Fighting is fun, but the jumping is inaccurate and annoying.
Damn I so wanna get that, it looks wicked.Quote:
