Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

Hope you like that 3DS game, Drunka - seems a bit niche to me, to be honest.

But then I like niche:

Pokemon? Sounds like a kids game to me, it'll never catch on.

Picked up a copy of Titanfall 2.

I thoroughly enjoyed the original Titanfall and the way David Turners has been harping on about it on The Computer Game Show had me very tempted. I literally had a copy in my hand on Sunday, for £50 odd, but I calmed down. Since then I've been hearing a lot of things that were tempting me; Colm on Videogamer said it was a bit like Short Circuit, and I saw a trailer which reminded me it has Peter Cullen doing the voice of the titan.

Anyway, I went into work today and, after my staff discount and my Christmas voucher, I bagged it for £18.20. A steal.

I really wanted Titanfall 2 as well but just couldn't find it for that sweet spot of £20 so yesterday I ended up with Bioshock collection, Watch dogs 2, Hitman (full upgrade) & Downwell.

The Bioshock games are must plays, and Downwell is one of my favourite phone games of all time. OF ALL TIME.

After finishing up on R6 Siege late last night I thought "I'll give that a quick 20 minute blast" I was still playing it over an hour later, probably the most accessible rouge-like I've ever played.

After 10 years, its Finally here

If it's worth that wait, I will be the most surprised person in this city... possibly the county.

Reviews have been decent, it sounds sort like MGSV.

Yay amiibo


I've got a few Zelda Universe figures but I would love to have more especially from Wind Waker like a Toon Zelda Plush to go with my Toon Link would be great.

Am I the only buying things?

Unboxing and Pick Up video which contains one of the most expensive GameCube games, a PS2 and a Collectors Edition of a game I've waited to play since 2007.

Dunno about everyone else but my extremely small expendable income for the first half of the month has mostly gone on gifts and household supplies to beat the locust shelf clearers. Plus the post slows from turtle to snail pace, which pretty much kills my ability to buy things for the month, so outside a couple of nintendo eshop purchases I won't be buying anything next paycheck either.

I did buy dragon ball xenoverse and assassin's creed rogue last week though, but since both are kinda meh and digital I didn't really bother posting about them

POST DELETED AS DISCUSSION OF CHRISTMAS EXPENDITURE COULD SPOIL SECRET SANTA.

Picked up Doom and Watchdogs as well as Dark Souls 2 for PS4.

I saw when I went around EofGiz's the BC list on ONE had been updated and I never played Lost Odyssey, so I bought it last weekend on eBay for a fiver and it came today.

Major Nelson announced to celebrate over 300 BC games on ONE, they are giving Lost Odyssey away for free to download till the end of the month. Thankfully I only paid a fiver and having it physically is nicer but still a little

I also bought Flogian Bros on the SEGA Dreamcast which leaves me 19 PAL Games to go.

I had Lost Odyssey at one point but just couldn't get in to it. Recall it having a whopping four discs, something you just don't see any more.

Floigan Bros is an interesting one. Remember the game being previewed in Dreamcast magazines and it looked like a Banjo-Kazooie type of 3d platformer with wacky characters, First of a planned series.

@Jimbob really the DC only has 50 games and I'm just making the rest up which includes some of these from the 19 left I made up Cannon Spike, Evil Twin, MoHo, Stupid Invaders

@gJones I hear Lost Odyssey is a real old-school JPRG and the true FFXIII spread over 4 Discs on 360. You do sort see it today as Bioshock Collection is 2 discs and the rumoured FFXIII HD Collection will be 3 Discs but they are separate games.

I bought more things today

Some series called Dark Souls is on its 3rd game and I picked that up along with a PlayStation Snapback for a fiver.

Ohh and Harvest Moon on Cube.

"Sonic... Adventure..."

Is that A Wonderful Life, or the other one? I don't think any game has confused me as much as HMAWL...

It's Wonderful Life as that's the only one we got in the PAL region.

Okay, might've been telling a teeny-weeny fib when I said I wasn't buying anything this month.  Even if it was only mostly postage.

Spoiler:

Still surprises me to this day there were people who bashed the Exia's design when it was first revealed ten years ago (god I feel old, has it really been almost ten years since Gundam 00 aired?)  Just look at how sleek that thing is!

One of these days I'll be able to walk past a Nami figure and not buy it

I haven't bought a Transformer in ages . . .
DO NOT TEMPT MY ADDICTION!

Actually probably best you don't, if you have trouble with Transformers you don't want the infinite pit of money absorption that is Gundam and its model kits.
