Just snagged Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition for $4.99. Digital, but considering the retail version uses Steam, it's all the same :)

Got my Hyperdimension Neptunia: Victory ("Iris Hearts You") Giclee in yesterday's mail...Yay!

Strange that I ordered this one *after* "Peer Pressure"...yet...it arrived 1st?!

Kinda' a pain in the ass - the three I already have hung-up (iirc) are 26" (Height) -but- this one looks to be 28" - 29"
 :o

Now...I'll definitely have to wait for Peer Pressure to arrive before figuring-out/hanging up all 5 of 'em (I know, I know...1st world problems; to be sure:)

Apparently, I broke 3,000 posts!

I wonder how many that number would be, if we hadn't lost the totals when we switched forums software.

Time for rankings higher than "Hero Member", mayhaps?

And apparently, I am illiterate. Cause I clicked the wrong thread... this was supposed to be in the General topic... D:

I'd actually borrowed the PS3 version from someone awhile back, and found I liked it a fair bit. Reminds me a little bit of Left 4 Dead meets Borderlands meets Dead Rising 2 - very large, open areas to explore, with a lot of little sidequests and characters sprinkled throughout the landscape, and a pretty nice system for creating custom weapons. I can see it maybe getting a touch repetitive, but it hits that "just one more quest... " nerve nicely.

I didn't pay attention to the pre-release hype, and never really do with games, so I don't know what people were complaining about. It's a fun game!

The deal I found is on Amazon, and appears to still be active - http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Island-Game-Edition-Online/dp/B008NAYASM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365690876&sr=8-1&keywords=dead+island. Just open the games library after purchasing, activate the serial key in Steam, and off you go :)

...*AND*...

Fed-Ex was just here & dropped-off my "Peer Pressure" Giclee; YAY!...Again!

The only "problem" (read: well, *consideration*, really) is that the 3 I aleady had are all the exact same size, "Iris Hearts You" is longer & narrower than all 4 of the others, and, "Peer Pressure"...is a bit shorter & wider than all 4 of my other ones  :o

Hmmn...May need to re-arrange them all when I hang the 2 new ones up (not *complaining*, mind you - I actually looking forward to having the time to do all of this (probably not until around Mon, or so)...

I got home this afternoon, and my wife greets me with "I got you something!".  Turns out she dropped $30 on this


If you can't see the two on the left, that's Wonderboy and Ghostbusters.

Sweet! Those are some good games. I am a huge wonder boy fan. If you can snag wonder boy 3, do it! Dragon's trap is amazing. Also, monster world 4 is available on PSN/XBLA and is just gorgeous.

Also, a suggestion, Outrun (and almost every other SMS racing game) suffers from the crippling defect of having to press up and down to shift. There is a good pedal that makes it fantastic to play. I highly recommend.

That is freaking awesome! You've got a great wife! And $30 for all that is a steal!
