i really enjoyed NOX

Yeah, it looked good, and for $2.39, I figured I'd check it out. Strange thing is, I could swear I played a demo of it a long time ago, but there was a glut of Diablo-esque games around the same time, so I could just as easily be thinking of Sacred.

Waited for the sale at GS to pick up the Mass Effect Trilogy (for the PS3) today...

...A week or 2 ago, it was still going for $59.99 -but- (if anyone else is interested) it's on sale this week for $39.99 

Not bad for ALL 3 games (*especially* if, like me, you haven't played any/all of them yet:)

That seems like a nice deal on the trilogy set. Does it include all the DLC?

[desocietas]

My OUYA showed up this evening...

You'll have to report on how it is.

Not all of it - it comes w/ codes for 4 or 5 of them + the "Extended Ending" one for free.

I'm also looking forward to hearing about the Ouya

I went to bike night last night. It was starting to rain so a lot of people didnt show up. After being there nearly an hour and basically being the only person there, I decided to leave. On the way home is a Half price bookstore so I went in. I didnt see much to interest me so I was just going to head out. On the way out, I see this case behind the counter. I go over and its a Gamecube case fully stocked. Black GC with all the cords, Wavebird, memory card and of course : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-Nintendo-Gamecube-Soft-Sided-Travel-Case-Video-Game-Holder-Carrier-/171037486376?pt=US_Video_Game_Cases_Bags&hash=item27d2a0ed28

Well, I already have 2 GC with cords so I asked the guy if they would consider parting out the set since the other pieces arent required for the system. He called over the manager on duty. He said yes and compared the price of another GC they had with the one I was looking at. $30 for the one I was looking at, $20 for a base system. So for $10 I got a wavebird with receiver and the case. Im really loving the GC system lately and didnt have a Wavebird anyhow so I was pretty happy with the purchase. It was funny driving home with this case in my shirt driving my Harley down the road. Looked like I was pregnant but it was worth it!

Ha, I should've tried that with the Skyrim collector's box on my bicycle... 

[soera]

Lol that would have been odd to see. The skyrim box is enormous compared to that silly case I got.

True that!

Nice find, Soera 

I've found that - much like with Love - you'll usually find the best, rarest, and most unexpected things either:

A.  When you're NOT even looking (or you're already (usually very recently:) spoken for), and

B.  Where & when you'd least expect to
