Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

NEVER. A piano/piano-esque-thing is always a good purchase.

I got stupid fingers, I can just about, maybe play a harmonica.

If you're playing a harmonica with just your fingers... I may know where the problem lies.

Yesterday I picked up Starfox zero & Ratchet and Clank, I'll probably start Starfox later today.

Then start Ratchet and Clank, 2hrs later.

It's not like I bought Starfox expecting an epic sweeping story covering the birth of the entire Lylat system, the main series has always been about replay value & I'm hopeful that it will give me that.

I've been enjoying the hell out of it, so fingers crossed.

I bought Ratchet & Clank earlier today too.

I also made a jaunt down to Cash Convertors, and got The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for £3, Prof. Layton & Pandora's Box for a quid, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for just 50p.

How those places make money is beyond me...

IT'SHEREIT'SHEREIT'SHEREIT'SHEREIT'SHERE  *Sharp inhale* IT'S HERE!

Looks like my less gloomy prediction was right, must've been sent to another location!  And not just my manga order, my book order with Amazing Spider-man big time 2 and the pern novels arrived too! (When the heck did book depository start sending orders through faster mail?  I approve!)




Rundown of the contents: Magi Labyrinth of Magic volumes 8-9, 12-15 (missing volumes 10-11, 17), Yu-gi-oh three in one volumes 3 and 5 (now almost up to date), Pokemon Adventures diamond pearl and platinum complete set, Amazing Spider-man Big Time vol 2 (missing vols 3-4 and Dying Wish), Renegades of Pern, and All the Weyrs of Pern


Very close to finally throwing off the financial shackles collecting this stuff creates, never thought I'd see the day and yet I'm probably only a couple of months away now!

Yet another copy of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker on GameCube in a charity shop, for £1.99. I've got five copies of this now, three of them are the limited edition with the two discs.

Currently imagining Cappa sitting on a throne made of copies of GC Wind Waker, stroking an Evil Beard thoughtfully, whilst swirling a glass of merlot.

Brrr.

Why the shivering? A merlot should be room temperature.

Since my trip is all but done a run down of what I brought:

Monster hunter X
Fire emblem if
Pokemon alpha sapphire
Kirby
Mario 64ds
Kamen rider battride wars
Vol 55 of Fairy tail just to get the ova did
Vol 2 of One piece film Z manga
And 3 plushies from the Pokemon centre

Got this little known game that nobody has ever heard of today, I hear it has some excellent map designs!

I picked up Fire Embelm Fates: Birthright on 3DS and Pikmin for GameCube which I got with after trading in a load of old PS3 games & a DS my Grandparents brought back from Cornwall on Holiday.

Quite the hauls there, chaps! Shanks is winning so far, though.

Just ordered another volume of Spiderman Big Time! And the first two volumes of Ms. Marvel which I've been seeing lots of praise for and scratches my itch for something reasonably up to date. Will edit in anything I buy from the shops when I head out soon

Yesterday I bought a Chromecast device for the house. We've had a little go on it and it seems OK. My phone now boasts iPlayer and All 4 apps, in addition to the Netflix one that was already on there.

Was going to get Cap America but the pair of em cost over sixty bucks ( ) so I nabbed these for forty on sale instead!  Never seen the X-men movies beyond the much reviled Last Stand (which, for the record, I enjoyed in a guilty pleasure kind of way) but I've heard good things about First Class and Days of Future Past, and The Wolverine because they were part of a 3 for 40 deal actually saved me five bucks so wynaut!

One of these


Which I'm yet to try but I'm off tomorrow and it came with a scart cable meaning I can capture footage, Tekken 3 let's play tomorrow.

Wow, I have literally no idea how to translate Australian dollars to Pounds Sterling. For example, for those 3 X-Men films, I'd expect to pay a tenner, tops.

$40 AUS is about £20 which sounds a lot, if you can get all 3 for all for £10.

But minium wage down under is $17.29 where here it's £7.20, so Athrun would need to work about 2hrs 20min to earn $40 where we would need to do 1hr 30min to earn just over a tenner.

So basically Athrun is paying double what we would pay but saying that the Rouge Cut is £13.40 new on Amazon on it's own but a fiver used.

£20 is pretty much spot on what I'd expect to pay for those 3 on Blu Ray. Captain America is ruddy expensive though.

So I decided to get Overwatch to see if it is indeed the greatest game known to man
