Yesterday I Bought

A cheap copy of Skate 3.

I think this might be the first time I've bought a game because it's janky.

I just picked my copy of Hyrule Rulers, and to go along with it, I also picked up Tales of Xillia 2, Rayman Legends Wii U (don't really care about Rayman, but it was cheap enough to try) and Professor Layton & the Miracle Mask.

I have significantly dropped off in my game buying, with most coming for the 3DS. I am significantly disinterested in most of what is coming out.

Hope you enjoy Rayman Legends, oldschool - it's my favourite Wii U platform game.

DKCTF beats it for me, but it's still good stuff.

I acquired High-Rule War-Rears and Fantasy Life yesterday. Was stood in GAME for about half an hour, shirt sticking to my skin, in a massive and slowly moving queue. Stupid FIFA...

I went in to work for an hour to do a midnight opening for FIFA. There was a bit of a crowd but they were all gone by ten past then I just had to stand atthe desk for 50 minutes on my phone. The worst part was, I didn't get paid until the following morning so I couldn't buy my copy.

Sounds like great fun. Do you bring your 3DS?

Nice! Loved the Skate games (yes, even Skate it on wii) though I've never played the third one.

I won these last night on eBay

They should be here tomorrow or Wednesday, I paid £44.50 including shipping but as I've got the bottom two I put mine on eBay and they brought me in after PayPal fees £15. I do have post them, so be about £12 back in my pocket after that but means I paid £32.50 for five Wii U games that's £6.50 each which makes ME3 & Mickey a little bit pricey but the other three quite good prices especially Sniper Elite which on a good day can still reach £20 on eBay on it's own. Batman in the white case still bugs me, so will be trying to find a spare blue case from somewhere.

Also brings my Wii U retail total 34 games out of 88 UK Pal as of 1st of October, which I don't think is bad at all and I'm missing some of the bigger titles on the console due to me trading them in when I treat the U more like my PS4 then now where it's treated more like my dreamcast.

Batman Arkham Origins is on wii U?

Did you not listen to the podcast? As I phased in and out of this plane of existence, I gave my thoughts.

My latest idiotic spending.:

That's an XBox game I could've bought for my PS3, an XBox game I do own on my PS3 and the most generic XBox purchase imaginable. Tites and FIFA are great for playing while I still have TV on snap in the corner, and I've barely scratched the surface of GZ so I thought for the dirt cheap secondhand prices I'd quite like to play the rest of it with nicer graphics.

Then, of course, pretty well the entire Tolkien collection (I also bought the Silmarillion but somehow left it out of the photo.) This is due to a pretty even 50/50 split of me wanting to read them again (I loved Hobbit as a kid, struggled through LOTR and couldn't manage the rest) and just wanting them on my shelf along with the DVDs and the ASoIaF collection.

My latest haul of games and game/anime soundtrack imports.



Finishing the blue exorcist duo off after a long while, the latest falcom ost, and aldnoah zero's ost.  Then there're the games with the famed shadow of the colossus finally making its way to the collection, resonance of fate which I ordered a second one of after previously having a purchased copy lost in the mail several months back, and xblaze which is a prequel to blazblue which I swiped the last copy of from the site I buy from.  

All up pretty pleased with this lot, already listened to the aldnoah ost which is awesome, not just because the music is cool but because blu-spec 2 cd's are bleeping amazing.  Like dear god that sound quality man, it was insane.  Aniplex soundtracks usually have kickass sound quality to die for, but this was just nuts.  That needs to be an industry standard like yesterday.

Yeah I think we've even got a thread about it, I did wonder if anyone else would find a list of all the Wii U games available useful. So know about things like Batman.

I just got this

Eh I've had that for ages

I did get a new phone that is apparently flexible

The last one that was done? I don't think I ever got around to it because of the technical difficulties that folk spoke about.

A few bit's

FIFA 15 on PS4
New Super Mario Bros U on Wii U taking my to 35 games fro the U
Sonic and The Secret Rings on Wii
Sonic Advance 2 on GBA

I'm starting to get a nice little collection on Nintendo, so had a look to see how many there are as thought can't be many. There's like 40 of them, some are things like mario & sonic at the Olympics though .

Just paid for Smash Bros. which won out over a new set of headphones.  Didn't fancy the torture of watching the entire world start the game while I can't even play it for two weeks, so the headphones can wait.  Now to go back to danganronpa, the game that would keep me from playing smash even if it were in my hands right now.

I added Fantasy Life to my collection yesterday and tomorrow I will add Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS, for which I traded in seven 3DS games. That got me over forty pounds of store credit, too. I was the first person to buy Smash in that GAME that day!

Wouldn't you been better of eBaying as 7 3DS games and got £40 as 3DS till not cheap.

And Smash again

Almost certainly. However, I don't want to get too deeply involved with eBay because I fear it would lead me into debt.

I've never used eBay in my life, and I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing. Just never got round to it.

I too purchased Smash, and then spent a looooooot of time playing it. I also "purchased" several trophies, if you can call it that.

Are you saying you've never bought from eBay? Or just that you've never sold through it?

I've bought off eBay before but never sold anything on it, even though I've mountains of old games I could sell off on there.

That's one thing I'm not game enough to do on eBay is sell anything
