I LOVE Billy Hatcher unironically for some reason.

I cracked open Fallout 4 last night.  And you know, that lengggtttthhhhhyyyyyy install didn't even bother me because the little videos that play showing your 7 attributes were hilarious!        I only had time to play for about an hour after the install, but the game is fantastic.  True Fallout.  It's not "up to snuff" in the graphics department with other current-gen titles, but it looks good enough and is a blast to play.  To hell with the naysayers and pixel counters!

But being that this is the "new pick-ups" section, I got three new goodies last night!

Swag
Witcher III - Wild Hunt Steel Book case
Fallout 4 Lanyard with Vault Boy charm (he's rubber)
Mad Max Magnum Opus die-cast car

Fallout 4 looks pretty good on my PC with my GTX 970 (Ultra Setting). I can't wait for Mods. Its going to make this game even more godly.

Decided to give a try to another Simpsons title because I totally love the first seasons of this series and also because two of my favorite YouTubers reviewers said good things about this game, am talking about Krusty's Fun House even when there are a lot of ports of this I chose the one for the GameBoy, why ?, because of the details of the stages, because the animations of Krusty are well done also because this one is a lot better than the three previous Simpson games for the NES, the puzzles are simply fun, not that challenging just fun and for only 6.96 bucks it was a very good deal also my wife decided to finally give me a hand at the New Super Mario Bros. Wii so had to purchase a extra Wii controller, gonna repeat her words when we went to the store: it has to be a pink one because am a girl, so I had to paid $ 20.00 bucks for this mothafucka, hope that she can really help me in the game

Also PIER SOLAR ON THE DREAMCAST I can't believe this is finally here after all these years. what I find hilarious though is that I only got the Shipping conformation Today

Finally!!!!


After purchasing this over 2-years ago I finally, in my possession have the Dreamcast version of Pier Solar along with the strategy guide! I hear this game is awesome, however I will never purchase another game from Watermelon Games after the way they handled the release of this game. Just happy to finally have it

Last Cowboom Console Flash sale I ended up with a *New* 3DS XL Black. Not sure how I feel about it though, compared to my import "normal" sized 3DS. It seems too heavy or something, comparatively. Luckily they updated all the 3DS homebrew channel shenanigans allowing me to load it in a more substantial way so I can't get locked out of the Region Free option when Nintendo decides to patch things and not push a firmware update.

I'll probably go back and forth between them for a little bit to decide which to keep, but I am leaning towards the "normal" sized one, as the 3DS XL is too big for me to (eventually) 3D print my own faceplates. Seems the XL has less plate options too as it only seems like you can replace the backplate and not both sides like on the "normal" size (I could be wrong though, if I am let me know). I just wish they'd release the normal sized one here already in a non-bundle capacity but I'm not holding my breath for Nintendo to do anything that makes sense.

Also got a White PS4 controller from Amazon Warehouse for $34.

I didn't find any NES Games this weekend, but I grabbed a couple Genesis games.

TMNT Tournament Fighters (Label is rough, but it was $5)

Battletoads and Double Dragon (CIB for $15)

I don't feel bad about that at all.

I really want to buy Pier Solar for DC, but I keep not buying it because I don't want to wait 2 years for it to show up.  If I could order it and for sure have it arrive in a reasonable amount of time, I'd probably order it.

I really want that Tomb Raider collector's edition, but it being a GS/ThinkGeek and SquareEnix exclusive was no good, I need that GCU.
