edit: Hey I got something in the mail about this Disney movie club, and I'm wondering if anyone has joined this? Apparently I can get 5 movies now for like 20 cents each, as long as I buy 4 full priced movies in the next two years. It still sounds too good to be true, but I'm intrigued.
This is an ooooold marketing trick that companies pull. Don't you remember the commercials? It's the same deal with books, CDs, etc.
I forget the name of the main company that would do this, but they were pretty famous for it. If you forget about it and don't buy the "full priced movies," they charge you full price for all the movies. And their idea of "full price" is usually higher than anywhere else you can find them.

But Disney pretty much keeps their MSRP everywhere anyways, so it might be worth it for their stuff
Only thing I liked about Advent Children was the fights...and I got tired of those after the first time.
Nah, I can watch Tifa beat the shit out of that dude a hundred times. The only fight that has me checking my watch is that first one with Cloud on the motorcycle. The rest are sex.

Yeah, that was it. I tried that out several years back, but I found that buying their movies at full price wasn't worth it. If Disney movies are the same everywhere, then that seems like a good deal.
And to clarify, I'm pretty sure if you forget to buy the required movies in the alloted time, you're charged the full price for all your movies. So, full price x 6. So, don't forget!
Tifa fights Loz(?) in Advent Children. One of the better fights, I love when Loz's cellphone rings at the end of the fight, makes me laugh everytime.
The main gripe I have with the movie is how much of a whiney pussy Cloud was. Other than that, Advent Children is the tits.

I just wish it was a more straight forward movie. The cutting back and forth didn't make any sense the first time I watched it, as well as some of the dialog. The fight scenes definitely make it good.

Well to be honest I don't know what's gonna happen.
They have their money and I don't see any updates with the claim.
I think we are even?

Bought a new cellphone and month of service from Circket: $180
New pair of cargo shorts, fliippy floppies, the goddamn Batman t-shirt at old Navy: $55
Pillars for the Earth, World Without End, I Am Legend and Man in the Iron Mask at Half Price Books: $10.50

Gas at QT: $40
This weeks buys:
Sunscreens - $1425 for our entire house in 90% Sun/UV blocking material along with a new screen door slider.
Desk - Saw a really nice one for $99 at Costco.
HD TV - Not sure which brand or model yet.
Comfy as fuck desk chair - Need to sit in some and how my ass feels.
Maybe buys:
MP3 Player - Best Buy has the 32 GB Zune on sale.
Camera - I want something decent I can grow into but not break the bank.
Laptop - Something to keep in my room on the new desk and use it to surf the web, burn CD/DVDs and work on the pictures I'd be taking with my new camera.
Torn finally came. Got a reply to my messages the day after I ordered a new copy saying it was on the way. Figures. Sent it back for a refund.
I really, really like the covers to the new editions of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, but the copy of A Game of Thrones that I have is the previous edition (gold cover) so it doesn't look nice next to the new editions. Been trying to trade it for something I haven't read yet, but no luck thus far. I plan on getting the new edition, but not until I unload the old one. Publisher upped the cost by $1 on the new editions. Lame move, but still totally worth the money.
I seem to always take these pictures when it's absolute shit outside. Someday I'll take one on a sunny day so that the quality isn't crap. Shockingly, indoor lights and flash are a poor substitute for natural light, especially on shiny surfaces.

Went out and finally got me the Layton Trilogy not long ago...I'll post pics with a few other things later.
I will say that Professor Layton is one awesomely dapper dude. :^:
It's more charm than substance. Even though the plots are silly you kind of want to see how far they can dig themselves into a hole before they pull themselves out and how.
Picked up Enslaved, new Whiskey Media member's shirt, and finally got my deluxe edition of Steve Martin's new album Rare Bird Alert that includes the vinyl, CD, and shirt.

Ubisoft had an error on their store. Along with Ozbargain and the Whirlpool forums we raided it good.
I got this email from Ubisoft along with all the other people
TO OUR UBISHOP CUSTOMERS
Last week, the Australian Ubishop site was showing that nearly all of its games were available for a 100% discount. This was obviously a systems error that has now been fixed.
As you were quick enough to act on this error, we would like to advise that Ubisoft will honour this sale at the full discount. We hope that you enjoy the games, and invite you to visit our website again to view our upcoming PC lineup, and our regular promotions. Admittedly, they probably won’t be quite as generous as the one you have just taken advantage of...

No pics for me yet either, but let's just say I have too many games coming my way. too many games.
Castlevania: SOTN, 2 copies of Final Fantasy VII, Super Mario Kart, Wipeout 3, Duck Tales, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Lose, and Stunt Racer FX.
Particularly excited about Duck Tales, which is an awesome game if you don't know, Super Mario Kart, and SOTN.
edit: I'm posting this video because I'm so excited to get this game.
Wow. What's even crazier is that this isn't the first time that's happened with their online store.
And yesss, DuckTales. I rented and played that all the time when I was a kid. ... It wasn't until about 10 years later that I accidentally learned you could use Scrooge's cane like a pogo stick. Suddenly, I could actually finish some of the levels!
Edit: And thumbs up to 2HB for Enslaved. That game doesn't get enough love.

So awesome pickup time! I really will get around to posting all the awesome stuff I've gotten over the last two months or so soon, but this was a bit more urgent.

I know it's not video game related but felt like it was important enough to share!

His name is Rude and don't you forget it, he's a bad motherfucker
I thought Rude was the black dude with the shades. Yep - yep it is. And I barely even played VII.
I could've sworn she fought Rude
I haven't seen it since the original's release on DVD
Pfft. YouTube. What are you even good for?

I'd usually agree but I have a more than capable PC in the living/dining room that's 40 feet from my room.
So it's more of a luxury item than anything else.
Plus, I was just approved for Social Security Disability so I don't plan on looking for jobs for awhile.
