Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

Paddington on Blu-Ray. Great film.

For no particualr reason I've gone a bit mental with buying Wii games over the last couple of weeks. In addition to the stuff I bought last time round, in the last seven days I've picked up MySims Heroes, Gottileb Pinball Classics, Major Majestic's Minor March (or whatever it's called) and the NPC version of the legendary Pikmin 2. Pikmin was £12.99 in GAME, and the three others were '3 for 2' in Cash Convertors at just £1.99 each.

Major Majestic's Minor March is a game I always wondered where that title came from for last March's game releases.

Major Majestic's will always be one of my most hated games. It's creator was the same guy who gifted the world Parappa The Rapper, and he had said before this game's release that if MMMM did well he'd go on to make Parappa The Rapper 3.

It's utterly bollocks. and so nobody bought it, and so no Parappa The Rapper 3 was ever made, and so many, many tears were shed in a gaming tragedy akin to the hoax announcement of Hogs of War 2. Shite.



"Music dog knows no rhythm"

A new laptop to replace my creaky one I bought 6 years ago. This one can run a browser and Spotify at the same time - technology these days!

A picture of Rum's new laptop:

Exactly right - only the finest in convenient tech for me, Jay.

You must have a bleedin' massive lap, Rum.

Two videogames I probably won't get around to playing for ages, when presumably they're selling for a lot less.
I'm an idiot.

I can see one dropping in price the other not so much.

oooh I like the new cover of DSII.

That's fair; Nintendo stuff keeps its value and Xenoblade on the wii is crazy expensive nowadays.

A ruler. "Big whoop, Zero," you may be thinking, and rightly so. However, this ruler came from the National Videogame Arcade in Nottingham. There may be a Gintendo feature on same before too long.

I also handed my brother the cash for a ticket to see Nottingham Forest vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers, but the less said about that, the better.

Better to have a backlog filled with games for years on end than to run out just when a specific game tickles your fancy I always say!

You thought yesterday was Sunday? No - it was Batday.

It is? I have a sealed copy of that.

Yep £50-100 depending on which version, it be worth getting graded.

I've heard several people raving about this film. How can it possibly be that good?

Very much agree with Jas. XC is a game that deserves to be played.

I wouldn't sell it. Less sure about it getting played, though.

You probably have to be invested in the character, like me, but it is actually quite funny.

I bought a new laptop charger and a cooling fan pad - both of which I'd like to have avoided, but my laptop charger is giving up the ghost and I need a fan pad because my laptop's getting too hot when playing GTA V.

Bought WWE 2K15 on 360 for a tenner yesterday, took it home, played a few matches then headed out again to swiftly punt it to CEX in exchange for Need for Speed Most Wanted (GameCube), The Legend of Spyro: Enternal Night and Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (both Wii). Three games I've wanted to play for a while.
