Paid off the rest of my Animal Crossing: New Leaf pre-order at GameStop, and pre-ordered the Prima guide on overstock.com (It was only $16 or so).

Also bought TLoZ: OoA on the 3DS VC when it came out. I'll probably buy OoS as well before the $5 promotion is over as well.

*gave awesome advice*
Cheers man, just got it delivered through the mail today. Looking at some fans now and yup, you were right, it's a Xenon :D
Sorry to ask but seeing as you're THE dude to ask about this kind of thing, would it be best for me to just JTAG it or should I also flash?

You want to connect it on Live?
If not then deffo JTAG.
If so, then R-JTAG it (update to 14699 or JTAG it now and retrieve the CPU key) and Dual NAND.

I'd personally JTAG it.

I bought these off of Amazon for the too many 3DS games promotion:
Luigi's Mansion 2
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Fire Emblem: Awakening

And I can't decide between Castlevania 3DS(got meh reviews), Animal Crossing 3D(it's too peaceful for me) and DK Country Returns 3D(already played it on the Wii).
I also bought an R4i SDHC, as I need to update my 3DS now (I'm still using my Acekard :mellow: ).

All of these should be arriving by the time I'm back home (going to the capital on a couple of lectures and a competition to determine the national team in a week, wish me luck :lol: ). I'll be really treating myself then, since the school year is almost over. :yaynds:

Gamecube. I always heard it sucked hard core but I wanted to give it a fair shot
It's actually one of my favorite Sonic games. I understand most of the criticisms toward it (it tries way to hard to be "adult" and takes itself way too seriously, even for a Sonic game, for example), but I found it fun to try to get all the endings and missions, etc (even if some of them were absolute BS, like "find and destroy EVERY of this kind of enemy").

When I got home I played it for about 3 minutes just to see if it worked and it feels so much like Sonic Adventure 2. Just the controls, look and feel remind me of that game so much. Picking up a gun and shooting cops was weird to me for a Sonic game lol. I felt like they tried to pull off a Conker's Bad Fur Day with the "badass" style

Gambia, The
A Magicka 4-pack (well, 1/4th of it to be exact).
Dark Souls.
New USB controller because my old one literally kept killing me (and yes I tried Keyboard+Mouse for Dark Souls and even the broken controller is better so I'll just wait until I continue playing it.)

After having gotten Rainslick3 for free a while ago (thanks to OutVolt for posting about the giveaway event here, I don't think I would have noticed it in time otherwise), I'm thinking of maybe getting Rainslick4 in a few days when it comes out...
Can't remember the last time I bought more than one entertainment-related thing within a single month. Guess that's how rich people feel.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
