Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

Someone on twitter was playing Rhythm Thief just the other day... can't for the life of me think who, though.

Fronk tweeted me saying it's worth playing and one of the mini games in it is based on Samba de Amigo.

I don't know if it was him playing it or not.

Anyway I only paid a fiver for it and won't gain much that I may as well keep and play sometime.

I bought some vinyl (Hip-Hop, natch). Anyone in to vinyl on here?

I bought a deck on boxing day and I own two vinyls Pulp Fiction OST and Guardians of the Galaxy OST, I'm mainly going to pick up thing like that be films of games which a lot do have a Vinyl soundtrack including Life is Strange which I really want but they gave them away and more odd stuff like Taylor Davis original album would be cool to have.

I used to be quite a fan of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds on vinyl because it came with much bigger versions of the paintings that any other format.

This bad boy arrived 3 days early by coming this morning!

The local charity shops playing a blinder again, as I just picked up F-Zero GX and Super Smash Bros. Melee for £1.99 each.

I also got a pile of LEGO games for DS, and immediately punted them to GAME for a nice profit that's going to pay for Pokken Tournament later in the week.

You are joking.

I definitely have to get me to more charity shops.

I'm moving to Scotland.

No joke, £1.99 each. It looked like I was going to get Mario Kart: Double Dash too, but sadly the game disc was that of the first Donkey Konga.

For me, it's a lot to do with 'right time, right place'. I'm quite persistant, and I try and look in a charity shop or two at least a couple of times a week. Another point is that, for a lot of folk here in Aberdeen, money is no object; I can imagine that there's people around here who'd think nothing of donating really expensive retro games to charity, as it's not like they need the money. That's probably why I got Twilight Princess and Starfox Assault on GameCube for a quid each a while back.

I recently picked up Halo Wars and Halo Reach second-hand from my local games shop, and blu rays of Halo Legends, Halo: Forward Unto Dawn and Halo: Nightfall meaning

My Halo Collection:

is starting to get quite big. Two years ago, I'd never played a Halo game or even thought about owning an Xbox!

I said this on Twitter, but you now got the last good Halo game for the people on here.

Great finds there Cappa, it can be done like you seen my N64 games a while back and my grandparents just gave me like 30 games from Boot Sales, Charity Shops etc that they've picked and no sports part from the odd one on Cube as they know Cube is good but myself finding anything are as most Charity Shops & Boot Sales, that I now go seems to be the person who read that Sun article and now thinks there copy of FIFA 99 on PS1 is worth a Million with the odd exception.

Tickets to Spurs v Southampton (aka the last home game of the season). It could be special!!

GAME seem to be having a bit of a clear-out of their old stock. I think I got there after all the best stuff had gone, but nonetheless I picked up new copies of Darksiders 2 (Wii U), LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (3DS), Wii Play (Atari Jaguar) and Metal Gear Rising, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Fuse, Le Tour De France 2014, F1 2013 and Medal of Honour Warfighter (360) for a combined £14.41.

Wowsers, that's almost like one of your charity shop hauls, Cappa!

Hey Wii Play is to good for a Jaguar game

I picked up a PlayStation Camera from GAME for £38.60 NEW as they had one which had a damaged box, that knocked a tenner off and I used the little amount of points I had.

The other thing I spent money on was my PSVR preorder in-store which was a £100 deposit, which some have said I'm silly for doing but when the preorder went up on GAMEs site. I asked in there chat asking if I can change my preorder when games are announced and bundles are up and there answer was just preorder that and I was like will I lose my place and they didn't seem to know.

Also with around only 12k coming to the UK, I want one on day one at day one not coming 3 days later due to the post also means I only got £250 to pay at launch now + games in a bundle which will be easy to do in store now.

Me and Muss might have to invite ourselves round to try it out...
As for me, I had a couple of Transformers comics in the post this week; Transformers: Robots in Disguise #50 and Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #50. I've been reading both of these every single month since issue 1, and MTMTE in particular has been the highlight of more months than I can count. Some of the funniest, tensest, most emotional stories I've ever experienced. Not just in Transformers, not just in comic books, but in general: the best, smartest, most excellent science fiction you could ever wish for. I'm dead keen to read the 50th.

Spoiler:

Oh yeah, on the way home from work I popped into my local games shop and grabbed a Wii U game, as well.

You and anyone else, is more than welcome to come around anytime.

When I get my PSVR.

I think it would be cheaper to buy one myself than travel to yours to test it

Not sure I'd want to use another person's headset. It'd be like using another person's headphones. Might contain... residue.

I'm not that far away Andy also you could take the misses on Holiday to Cornwall and stop on the way.

When I've used VR at events Balla, they've used a wipe before and after each use. That you could do that.

Pitty it's not till October as reckon it could of been cool to bring to the meet up.

It doesn't, y'know, insert anywhere. More of a strap-on.

PSVR doesn't even have straps, it has a bit that sort sits on your head the your press a button and the visor moves forwards which is excellent as then my glasses don't get crushed and I keep them on unlike with others.

I traded Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Fuse, Le Tour De France 2014, F1 2013 and Medal of Honour Warfighter into the same GAME I bought them from, and they gave me £26 for them. Bought LEGO Batman 3 (Wii U) and NPC Pikmin (Wii) and kept the remaining thirteen quid on a voucher.
