Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

Thanks, man. It's... it's an emotional time.

Just got through the post Sonic Colours for Wii.

Since I'm about to finish Zahn's awesome Thrawn trilogy (two weeks and I still haven't finished a mere 2 hundred pages, christ I'm a slow reader nowadays, 14 year old me would sneer if he saw me now) I figured I'd grab a couple more yarns even if they aren't canon any more.  Still worth reading.

I haven't read any star wars since I was a kid, but I read a hell of a lot of Star Trek! What I love about star trek novels is the way each one is a little standalone story. All you need to know is the crew of the Enterprise and you're good to go. On the windowsill in my bedroom, where I line up the books I'm going to read, I always slip a nice fun trek in after something that's more of a risk, that might be boring or depressing or a but shit.

I've read two Star Trek books and one Star Wars books.

The Enterprise novel "The Good That Men Do" fixes problems with the worst episode of Star Trek (the finale) and is pretty interesting. The other Trek one is "A Stitch in Time", all about Garak, and is great.

The only Star Wars book I read was last week: the Revan book. It was pretty good. I'll probably try a few more of the Old Republic era books, in particular the Darth Bane ones.

My experience with star trek is rather limited, I watched a bunch of The Next Generation back when I was a young teen but that was about it.  I've always been more of a star wars fan, the blend of the sci fi backdrop with the "magic" elements with the Force always captured my imagination better that the pure sci fi of trek I guess.  That said I did enjoy everything star trek that I've been exposed to and won't rule out looking in to it someday.  

On the novel backlog note, might as well post my star wars backlog.

Spoiler:

Not pictured is The Last Command, the aforementioned final book of the Thrawn trilogy.

I think I read a bit of Rogue Squadron back in the day. Quite the opposite to yourself, I like pure scifi stuff so guys like Wedge were always my favourite.

Your both wrong Stargate all the way.

Anyway I bought Sonic Riders Zero Gravity on Wii & Watch Dog's on Wii U.

Yes To Stargate

Anyway I brought Lost Heroes 2 which after a couple days I had to delete off my 3ds and re download it as it wouldn't load

Erm.......who said anyone was right or wrong?

Stargates good fun. But yeh, like jas said, there was no disagreement there. Everyone likes wars and trek.

Honestly I'm all meh towards trek.. Well the older stuff anyway

I know I just wanted to bring up Stargate as it's normally the forgotten Star.

The items that I'd referenced in a different thread that "if I don't buy now I might never get another chance" that sapped most of my current expendable money have finally arrived.  As of now I'm only one volume short of completing the first Ultimate Spiderman series (the pre-rebrand before Ultimatum series), just missing volume 13 (which will be mine soon enough mwuhaha!), and the first volume of the Big Time release of Amazing Spiderman.  

I'd given up on thinking I'd ever get ultimate spiderman 15 new, but it turns out wishes do in fact sometimes come true, and with big time becoming harder to find I figured I had to stop procrastinating and get it already.

(Digital Version)

The third book in the Green Rider series. I loved the first two.

I'd been after GTI Club for ages. I'd loved the older versions in the arcades, but my initial impressions of this one are a bit iffy. Still, under eighteen quid. Puyo Pop Fever was 99p in Cash Convertors.

My New 3DS Zelda Majoras Mask 3DS is here along with Majoras Mask Special Edition and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

Also one of my Skull Kids which as it's here first is the one I'm keeping then the other will go on eBay.

Yesterday I bought a Cricket World Cup!



No, wait, that's a New Nintendo 3DS. I always get those two confused!

I gots me:

Not at all. I usually hate that style of figures, but this one looks exactly like Toon Link.

Is it bad that I still want to buy face plates for what is no longer my main handheld?
