I bought it earlier this week on PSN store a bargain at only 3.99, I'm yet to play it though, working through my list of 2 years of free PSN+ games.

Too many games :negative:

Most of this was bought over the past few months, but I finally just finished everything. Those 3D wall panels were a goddamn pain in the rear end and I wouldn't do them again given the choice. They look nice, but god drat that was a lot of joint compound and sanding. I'm going to be finding dust in the house for weeks. All in all I'm super happy with everything and glad I decided to install everything myself. I do need to find a wall mounted wine rack for the booze side though. Maybe something coffee related for the other side.

I have a beer already fermented and ready for the kegerator too.

It's a Kegco dual tap unit. I accidentally ordered the wrong one though. I meant to get the one that had the built in LED temperature control on the front and didn't realize I ordered the wrong one until it showed up. I had to put an access hole to where the temp knob on the rear of the kegerator is inside the cabinet, which actually isn't the worst thing because it's another place for air to flow for the unit. I added the perlick faucets to it as an upgrade.

I ordered everything from Beverage factory and they were awesome. They give you a ton of options when you're buying it so you can change/upgrade features on all their kegerators.

Canon EF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5
An oldie, cheapo lens that sounds like a buzzsaw when focusing. Surprisingly sharp, though. Definitely worth the $100 I paid for it.


Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM
An awesome little lens. I've been wanting one of these for a while, and I was finally able to find a cheap used one in excellent shape.

This is the first tablet I've ever owned. Still figuring out what all it can do. I'm basically a helpless old person when it comes to this sorta stuff. Having fun with it, though!

Get Infamous: Second Son. And Sniper Elite 3, Wolfenstein: The New Order, MGS5: Ground Zeroes and Tomb Raider if you haven't played those on another system already.

Also Injustice is only $8 right now if you have PS+, and while it doesn't seem to look or run any better than on other systems, if you haven't played it yet it's a great fighting game with lots of recognizable characters.

Sweet yeah I have an XBO and a gaming rig. Played all those except obviously Infamous and Ground Zeroes. Injustice is also great. Owned it on 360. I'm definitely more of an XBO guy but I'll be damned if I don't buy everything Naughty Dog will ever make. Also quite excited for The Order. I see myself using this more for single player experiences (AC: Unity, Batman: AK, MGSV, Evil Within) and then keep multiplayer stuff on the XBO as I have like 15 months of gold.

There's a good reason I never use anything except a Logitech mouse and it's the way they treat their customers. Even in Australia I can get looked after if something goes wrong.

And the only bad thing I have to say about them is that they don't make the 700S with a cradle because I hate having to use it while it's plugged in.



The cradle was the best thing ever:

Ask him why they stopped making mice in any other style than palm-grip :argh:

Between my fingertip grip and penchant for scissor switches on my keyboards the peripheral game really sucks for me. Luckily I managed to find a dude in Britain selling unused G9X's when my last one stopped working.

I loved this game, but it almost always seems to fall victim to "quarterbacking", where one player figures does the math and figures out how we're going to win in 8 turns as long as we all do exactly what he says.

I have bought a bunch of Blu Ray box sets from amazon.co.uk. Blu Ray is not region locked, and it sometimes ends up being way cheaper to buy there and ship to the US than buy the equivalent here.
I bought the 8 disc Harry Potter set the year it was released for ~$30 shipped to the US when amazon.com had it for $85
