Yesterday I Bought

Exercise bike, technically five days ago but I've been busy dealing with the crap known as reality so this is the first time to mention it. Also bought the persona 4 ost about two minutes ago on impulse.

W101 is the same as Lego City, I've all ready played and finished it. It's actually my most played Wii U game according to the daily log, but as I'm now trying to full set and seemed a okay price. Decided to pick it up now then later.

Like mas recommended, I used my double staff discount and some vouchers to pick up a new tv. It arrived today (I was in, but somehow didn't hear the delivery man so he took it to the dentist over the road). It's a 39-inch beast and makes playing videogames and watching football completely different.
It's also meant I can set my old one up, with my Wii, in the bedroom for GameCube gaming.

Cool sounds like you went for specs over size being 39inch's, as when I was looking on the tesco site you could get like 50inch's but they were 50hz for not a lot of money but is a joke in 2014 seeing most games all the way back to the dreamcast could run at 60hz.

A 50-inch would've been too big for the space I have for it. The main things I wanted were good picture and three HDMI ports.

Today's purchase...:

Good picture, so specs then. You've got plenty of space for 50inch, I've got 47inch in my room.

You can't play with them, did they have the bigger ones that around £20. I nearly bought a optimus about a week ago.

I'd have to rearrange my room a bit more for anything bigger though. Yeah, specs.

I got them from eBay, nobody near me is selling anything other than the really naff little ones. I've got Hound on the way and I'll definitely be getting the new optimus and bumblebee as well as big grimlock for prime to ride. After that, I expect I'll get the rest of the dinosaurs and maybe the villains.

The ones in work is the packing like the ones in your picture. We do have of the small ones.

who says he can't play with his transformers?

It's a running joke, as he's got small collectable ones that I would leave in there box.

Today

Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS meaning I now own 18 of the 19 resident evils I could play on console I own. Just a shame gaiden costs so dam much.

When mas cane round flat, he was unimpressed by all my unboxed action figures. Then there was the whole business with the start wars figures...
The third of the three transformers I offered arrive today. It's still in the box and for one I'm hesitant to remove it because I really like these box designs. I'm gonna have to keep one, probably when I get a leader class.

I remember the discussion about it elsewhere on here, was just imagining Buska doing the voices of optimus prime etc with Mas sitting in the corner mad that he's opened them out the box.  

That's not imagination, that's borderline exactly what happened s.
I mean, no I don't actually play with them.

I've had these delivered in the last couple of days.



Wii Sports Club was £30 on Amazon (I might send it back - after playing Boxing and Baseball, I think I've overpaid for it). Layton, Lego Batman and some shite-looking DVD called Fool's Gold cost £25.15 from Tesco (£5 off a £30 spend, the DVD took it to over £30). Sonic Lost World was £15 from GAME, but paid for with gift cards. Ready 2 Rumble was bought from Amazon's Warehouse Deals for...13p. Yes, 13p.

Nintendo Life said that Boxing was by far the worst of them, but it's sad to know that Baseball is also sub-par.

I thought Tennis was the worst of the sports?

I felt Tennis and Bowling were the best. Golf is good too, but the space in which I play my Wii U doesn't really let me 'do' the full Golf thing. I found Baseball to be quite difficult. Boxing is the worst though - not even worth digging out the second MotionPlus for, it's a bad example of what it can and can't do.

No, that's just in real life.

Hmm I've still not got my Wii Sports Club (I do have a moan else where), I'm paying £24.99 which is a fiver a sport. Think it's worth that Cappa.

Tennis is great in real life especially if Sharapova is playing.

Ah that must be what I was thinking of

Sure you don't mean cricket Shanks.

That Ready 2 rumble: Round 2 case looks weird to me, so used to seeing the one for Dreamcast but I'm sure the game is still ace on ps2.

Yeah there is that snooze fest as well

Nonsense! Why, you just have to look at yesterday's Test... Yes okay don't look at yesterday's Test please don't do that.
