Lost my bag with my GBA and all my games about 10 years ago. Righted that wrong this last week, and I went a little overboard:
Welcome to the club! Backlit OG GBA's are amazing.
By the way, I hate to tell you this, but I think your copies of The Minish Cap and LTTP are fake.
You need to be extra careful when ordering GBA games off ebay. The most popular GBA games (such as the Zelda games, Pokemon games, Final Fantasy games) are very commonly bootlegged by people.
To figure out if a game is genuine or not look at the pins on the bottom of the cartridge. If you see the Nintendo logo it is most likely a real cart. If not, it is a fake and might play fine at first, but is likely to have issues saving eventually.
The dead giveaway is the "rated E for everyone logo" in the bottom left corner though. On both Zelda games it looks very shoddy. Hell it isn't even in the right place on LTTP.

Oh yeah they're definitely fake. They were also $12 for both, so I figured they were probably fake. If they go I'll replace them with legit copies.

Damn. So much quality in one pic. Is the GBA backlight modded?

Sure is! Looks better than I remember. Because it is.

Cool. The mod really makes it the best available GBA ever. I love mine a lot.

i bought a really cheap cooler master cooler to tide me over until my gigabyte card gets an water block. then i am planing to custom water cool the whole thing. honesntly the video card is the last piece too. this new comp can't be built soon enough, my current comp can't even type without chugging.

I actually have no idea if the motherboard and PSU are good, but it's the first time I ever spent more than the absolute cheapest I could on them.
The CPU and video card I am certain are fantastic, though. Oh, and the video card came with MGS5, so that was massively cool.
My PC is dead lol. And I was thinking of reusing my old cooler. But idk. $10 for thermal grease vs $30 for a whole other cooler, plus not having to disassemble my old machine.... (My motherboard trays back plate hole isn't big enough to take my cpu cooler back plate off through. )

Chocolate Calorie-Mate is good, Fruit Calorie-Mate is... I ate it but didn't care for it. Cheese Calorie-Mate is surprisingly good.
Of the three, chocolate is my favorite.

Yeah the cheese and maple ones intruiged me, but the shop I got them from online only had the fruit and choc and I didn't fancy paying amazon prices for giant bulk packs.

Some games, a Scuf 4PS, and 1TB Samsung 850 SSD, Amiibos and an SBSS Apple Watch
Work notebook was aging so they sent a new one and let me purchase the old one for $40.
Finally got around to framing some Destiny and Call of Duty posters.
And finally, in my quest to collect all things Titanfall, I now have the biggest/rarest piece missing from my collection. I already have the Threezero Atlas and Stryder, just waiting for the Ogre to drop and I should be set.

Oh okay cool, I just wanted to make sure you were aware.
ooh, it even has the good ol' classic keyboard!Work notebook was aging so they sent a new one and let me purchase the old one for $40.
I friggen love thinkpads (got my first in 2003) and my current one, a T410, is on its way out.
I spilt soda on it like a dumdum and now the battery won't charge.
People I know don't share this opinion, but I love the Trackpoint. I find it's much better to use, especially when I need it when I'm typing, than the touchpad and usually just have the touchpad disabled. I'll occasionally try to reach for it even when I'm using my desktop. I'm afraid when I replace mine and have to get used to the new island style keyboard.

I usual buy mine from a few local Japanese supermarkets. Haven't bought any in a while but maybe if I get the urge, I'll probably buy a box or two.
Look I'll admit I had a bit of an existential crisis when that 12" statue showed up at my doorstep. I don't hate you as much as I might have said earlier GAF. Please. I wasn't thinking clearly at the time. Please forgive me. I love you.
But since then I found a way to make my crazy fetish for adorable statues work.
Turns out this is still your fault though GAF.

Had to pick up this gem for the Dreamcast. Looks amazing with VGA.

I really regret not buying a GBA back in the day.
Thanks. They're fantastic.
Yep they are from that series but a much cheaper option. HMV Canada have a bunch of Star Wars canvas art right now which I liked. Also got some others last week.... http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=175505583&postcount=267. The small ones are $10 and the larger posters were $30. Have not seen these four as much as the other seven from last week so guessing they are more popular.
Are these still available somewhere?

Grats,it's an amazing game.
Havent posted here for a long, long while, so gonna post a few of my highlights for the last 2 months.
The first is the BIG one...
Finally got around to building my first PC! Been living with a laptop mostly, and it has served me very well in fact and still does, but with VR on the way, (And I wanted something with more power), I felt I wanted a Desktop to supply it, and I finally had the room to put it somewhere. It's got an i7-4790k in there, 16GB RAM and a 980Ti (Which is a MONSTER of a card, I couldnt believe it was that big!)
Love the case too. Perhaps too big, but theres big components in there and more room the better I think in terms of heat, but I've got used to the size really.
Moving on...I got probably my last Mario Kart trophy from club Nintendo this morning to go with my other three.
Last but not least, Amiibo, (with my brilliant DIY cardboard shelves)
Think I'm near the end of what I want for the SSB collection... Falco, Mewtwo, Ryu and maybe Roy I think are the last ones I want. Maybe I'll want other previous ones when the price drops more for them, perhaps like Charizard and Olimar, but don't quite like them enough to pay full price for.

Happy with the trophy, glad I chose it over the bannana or leaf trophy, just a shame I probably won't be able to get the last two, but I'm happy with all the choices I've made.

Would be easier to simply show them all than try and find the ones that are more recent, ha ha. Most of the new ones include Yarn Yoshi, Ink Squid, Ganondorf, Shulk, Sonic, Pacman, Dark Pit, Zero Suit Samus...and probably a lot more over the few months.

Finally got my 1/6 Iron Man XLIII from Age of Ultron delivered today. Pretty amazed by the detail. Thinking about getting Captain America from Civil War next year, though there's a 1/4 scale Iron Man XLV coming out as well, so I'm going to have to decide haha.

Damn that looks good. I'm torn as to whether to get it or not. Can't really afford it. Just bought Rocket and Groot and am looking to pick up Bones and Marty McFly too. Gah Hot Toys are coming out too thick and fast to keep up with.
Id love an XLV 1/6 scale...
Scorpion Soldier
Member
There's a 1/6th scale of XLV coming as well, though not sure when. You could also hold out for next summer, since we're bound to get another XLVI etc from Civil War.
Speaking of which, couldn't resist and ordered the 1/4th of XLV, it's not coming till next year anyway so I thought I might as well haha.

Japanese new model PS4, Japanese White Vita 2000, Persona 4 Dancing All Night and Final Fantasy X-2 Asian English.
I also grabbed FFX/FFX-2 PS4 Asian English and Rocket League as well as the dock and screen protectors for my Vita.
All in all a great pickup month for me after getting my summer bonus
EDIT: Fixed the image. Sorry. Also, I forgot, I grabbed a 64GB Vita memory card
