Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

A box set of books that nobody has ever heard of before!  And some trousers because nothing says you're getting ready for the Australian summer heat better than sweatpants!

That's the box set I was looking at but I ended up buying the seven books individually because it was cheaper for some reason.

I got it for a steal, way cheaper than buying individual books over here!  $55 while each book retails for between 10 to 13 dollars in paperback!  

I've only got the first one and the seventh one, myself.

Anyway, let's possess it, you maternal parents!

Spoiler:

That is a great haul! (Can two objects be a haul?) Although it looks like you're meant to cut out the Hylian emblem... Maybe don't do that?

The shirt colour scheme reminds me of the Australian one day cricket uniforms for some reason.

Huh. Bet they've never been on a quest for the Triumph Forks.

Au contraire!

Picked these three up for £9 in GAME.



Played bits of Vanquish and Blacklist before but not tried Binary Domain - hear a lot of good things about it from games journos on Twitter.

Or you cut it to make a flap that can be open & closed so on some days you can reveal your Triforce chest hair/tattoo.

Binary Domain and Vanquish are two of the best, if not the two best, shooting games ever made.

I was going to say me and Drunka are big fans of Binary Domain and Vanquish.

I got World of Final Fantasy and the £12 Titanfall 2 yesterday in the post.

Aye Vanquish is certainly a quality action game.

You played Binary Domain, Jas? Of the two, I'd say BD has better level and enemy design, and the much better story and characters, while Vanquish has a nicer feel of character control. They make a great pair though, each countering the other's stronger and weaker features.

Nah, always wanted to so that's one to pick up when I have a bit of a drought.

Perfect Dark exists fyi!

I found a stoater of a bargain in Cash Generator today: a Wii U Pro Controller for just £4.99. No cable, but minty-mint otherwise. Superb!

Also added to my Wii collection while I was there, picking up Spyborgs, Bust-A-Move, Destroy All Humans and WWE 13 for a quid each. I also got one of those versions of Wii Sports Resort with the cardboard sleeve - it was sellotaped tight as it was stuffed with other discs. Didn't know what I was getting; sadly, it turned out to be Boogie Superstar, Just Sing, Now That's What I Call Music and X-Factor. No Wii Sports Resort - shite!

Andy will like this pick up


Fact of the day
Puyo Pop Fever was the last SEGA published game for the Dreamcast and the first SEGA multi format title for years.

The PS4 Pro a odd one, something I thought about getting since the rumours way back when as it's something that will use 4K when I get my 4KTV but as I've not got the TV yet and if I was going to get a Pro, I'd like a special edition.

The only game I could think of which would get one would be Horizon: Zero Dawn which is out March the same month as the Switch well I would buy the Switch as its a new system.

I was going to wait till I get the TV or I have the funds / timing of a Special Edition comes out.

Then I saw we had them at work and its double discount, and as we won Q2&3 we had money in our weird online Walmart thing for colleague.

I used all that and got my Pro for £265 and still got my launch PS4 which Mr gJones might be interested in or anyone else Drunka? .

Say "Hello" to my leetle friend...

My Pokémon Sun is also here, and I'm playing it right now!

Good to see another gnamerite picking the correct version

Some bits and bobs from the last couple of days.


Couple of films, a TV show, a book, a 3DS game, and the latest two Spider-Men I've added to my collection.
Payday weekend, 'natch.
