    Bender says while clearly drinking flask-wine.

    On another note, 30$ worth of crafting supplies to make a plush Hello Kitty.

    Before you ask, it's a gift for a small child and not for me. I've got a to scale homemade Wheatley sitting on my bed. I don't need Hello Kitty.

    PSP slim and light £50 from GAME (used obviously and without a box. Just the PSP and a REALLY short official charge cable... :/)

    CEX

    Had a little PSP game spending spree. I got:

    1gb Memory Card (need one to tide me over while I wait for my microSD adapter)
    Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
    Killzone: Liberation
    Ys: The arc of Napishtim
    Tekken: Dark Resurrection
    Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (the expanded version of Freedom 2)

    All for £32

    So for £82 I got a PSP Slim and Light, with 5 good PSP games, and a 1gb memory card.

    Not. Bad. :D

    PSN

    Megaman Maverick Hunter X

    £7.99

    One of my favourite games of all time had a pretty damn good remake on the PSP.

    I saw it on there, (I had to connect to PSN to download Final Fantasy I and II), and I absolutely HAD to have it! :D

    (also the PSP downloads on PSN are suprisingly cheap! :O Yeah, sure some games are ridiculously priced, but man, some of them are soooo tempting!)

    EDIT: Ordered an adaptor of amazon earlier. £2.50
    Hopefully its a genuine one!

    I'll have a look. No promises.

    He was free with my Cerebrus Network key. When I first got the game this Christmas. I already completed his quest.

    ah.

    Well, I like Kasumi better. She's got ninja skills.

    ted12 - Sorry, nowhere had Another Code R. :(

    I did pick up some other stuff though:

    Alpha Protocol - £1.98
    Heavenly Sword - 99p
    Killzone 2 - £2.98
    The Last Remnant - £2.98

    ...also managed to resist buying one or two others, but if they're still there Friday, they are SO mine.

    I forgot that the company the owns GAME also owns Gamestation, so they've got tons of bargains too. Again, if you live near one, go visit and check out the preowned stuff. Sooooo many good deals.

    Not a problem.

    If you really want it, might I suggest eBay? A quick look revealed a couple of 'buy it now' copies for around £10. Only real issue is shipping, but a quick note to the seller would probably cover that.
  • edited March 2012
    Really? I'm not finding any copies that cheap on there. I'm not sure if it's because none of them are available for international purchase or what. With what's showing up for that game on my end, when I get around to trying to get my hands on it, I'll probably be looking to trade a ~$20 game on Steam to anyone in the UK who'll buy it on Amazon.co.uk and send it to me.

    One very quick search reveals two under £9 (not including P&P). I am using .co.uk though, so that might be the problem.
  • edited March 2012
    Yeah. A lot of sellers don't like to deal with shipping internationally, so their listings won't show up on eBay.com. Similarly, Another Code: R doesn't show up on Amazon.com for me, and Amazon.co.uk says it can't ship it to my US address.
  • edited March 2012
    Again - have you tried contacting some of these eBay dealers? A quick message asking if they'd be willing to ship to the US usually results in an affirmative, if you're willing to pay P&P. Visit the .co.uk page and have a look, the very first search result there was under a tenner.

    Alternatively, if that doesn't pan out and you guys really want it, I can get it and then post it to you. If that's how you want to go, PM me and we'll sort something out.

    Also, back on topic - I caved and pre-ordered the St Patrick's Day Bundle. I am weak.

    Would a haircut count as an "item?" Because I just bought that last night.

    MOTHER-F**KING SALES AT GAMESTATION.

    They'll bankrupt me before the week is through, I swear.

    Latest purchases:

    Enchanted Arms - $4.98
    Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light - £7.98
    Venetica - £7.98

    ...and easily the best purchase I've made (or will make) as a result of the company behind these stores having major money management misgivings:

    (yes, the original game, Awakening and all the DLC)...

    £4.98.

    "Chinese" food. It's an important distinction that must be made, as American Chinese food has very little in common with Chinese Chinese food.

    Excuse me, but real Chinese food comes form New York. I don't know what we'd call the call food in China, but it sure isn't Chinese food. ;)

    Wikipedia deals with the distinction by calling it American Chinese cuisine.

    I like a "chinese" takeaway as much as I like a "kebab", (which is very much! :D).

    But seriously, what Chinese people ACTUALLY eat could put you off food for life! :X

    (I mean seriously, can it legally be even classified as food?)

    Right. I kind of forgot that all culture originates in the Great Gilded Nova Yorke and all we outsiders get are debased profligate versions of it.

    In all seriousness, though, that's a really good way of dealing with the distinction. I shall adopt it.

    *shrugs* I dunno. My fiancee's Chinese, so I'm trying to learn to like more Chinese food. Seeing as how I'm the whitest white guy to ever white a white whitey, I'll need all the luck in the world.

    Doesn't matter. I've had her wontons and she could put anything in it and it still tastes fantastic.

    I'm pretty jealous of Chris, actually and will be trying to convince them to move to where ever I go to grad school so that I can eat all their food.

    Come to Atlanta for grad school! I refuse to move somewhere with strict gun laws and Elisabeth would likely pay me if I convinced you to get drunk around her. Everybody wins!
