Shopping spree to come yay

I HATE UML SO DAMN MUCH. NO, REALLY, I DO.

Anyway...

I currently have *checks* 155€ on my wallet, and I'm hoping my uncle lets at least 50 more go.

[Poll #995467]

For the curious:

a) I'd get a black DS, because I loathe portable consoles on white and pink isn't my style. Why the fuck Nintendo hasn't released a blue lite? ;_;
b) I'd get one of the geeky training games for starters. Believe it or not, Brain Training is addictive; my brothers have it. However, I want to try English Training (yeah, such a game exists, but AFAIK only in Japan and Europe)

And for my (and yours, I guess) reference, here's a list of books I want to buy this year.

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (fugly kiddie British edition!) (July 21) -> around £17.99
  • Okami artbook in English (July 31) -> $40, £18.13 on amazon
  • Kino no Tabi #1 -> £5, play, amazon
  • Slayers novels: amazon, play
  • The Twelve Kingdoms: Sea of Shadow -> $17, £7.76 on amazon


Other stuff I could buy: the XXXHOLiC manga fanbook, the Fullmetal Alchemist artbooks.

The Okami artbook ♥♥ The Slayers novels ♥♥♥

Siempre van a haber oportunidades para que Nintendo abuse de tu capital en el futuro, de todas formas <3

OKAMI ARTBOOK!?

[identity profile] adventures.livejournal.com 2007-06-01 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
xxxHOLIC fanbook! *___* must. have.

Anyway, books are always good. I am not really a video game person to start with, but I always wait a few years or so after new electronic/gaming things come out to see if they come out with cooler ones. XD; They always seem to be spitting out new stuff every 5 minutes.

He hecho cuentas, y el artbook y el libro del apocalipsis fandomero me los puedo comprar con mi mesada de Julio, no importa en qué me gaste el billete del cumpleaños. Pero sí, las novelas de Slayers me andan llamando desde hace un buen rato ;___;

Ya sé XD Pero considerando que ya llevo años aguantándome a la consola, ya como que toca este año. Si en Junio no, será en Navidad.

AND IN ENGLISH. True that Japanese artbooks are always cooler than the English releases, but this one has such a loadful of text I'm excited it'll be translated and I can read it now! Besides, it's cheaper than the Japanese edition, which is not only expensive but hard to find.

WAOWAOAO. Okami artwork is freaking beautiful. You should post any interesting information you find in there if you get it! :DD

Even if I can't read anything from the fanbook and it's all text and old pics, I want it XD

I've been waiting for a good NDS pack to come for ages, because I'm like you on that *bought her PS2 two years ago, her brothers hated her because it's the slim one*. Still, I'm tired of waiting, because the few packs come with games I know I wouldn't play (sure, Nintendogs is cute but I don't want to play that, and Final Fantasy III would drive me nuts in a week). I guess I'll end up buying the console alone one of these days...

I'll probably will on [livejournal.com profile] taotrooper or my future Waka shrine XD I'm obsessive-compulsive when it comes to info dump and metacanon. One of the reasons I want to buy it, besides the awesome art and the sketches, is the fact there might be 'new' canon or answers to my questions on those notes besides the images that the game never mentioned. And that's so useful to me considering I'm trying to write fanfic. And even if there's nothing interesting, I still own a pretty artbook so I win!

Muy shiny! Slayers fue mi primer anime con magia. Ocupa un lugar en mi corazoncito de melón, y me han dicho que las novelas son hasta mejores para variar?.

No sabía que te gustara Slayers XD

Las novelas son estupendas ♥ Aunque sea sólo porque te llenan vacíos historicos que el anime no te pudo cubrir como la gente y te explota mejor a los personajes (Yay, Gourry, Xellos ♥)

Oh, sí ♥ Uno de mis viejos amores que me sigue pateando fuerte. En realidad, me sorprendía a mi misma cuando veía tus entradas y no comentaba xD. Como me pesan los años, hoe~

Yo digo que Xelloss es el origen obscuro de mi "mysterious guy who's up to something" fetish. De hecho, anime!Eriol siempre me ha recordado mucho a él. Lo mismo Kujaku de RG Veda y hasta Waka de Okami.

Cómo pasan ;_; Yo tendría unos qué, 16 años cuando lo pasaron por TV? Recuerdo que me perdía episodios por culpa del colegio.

Por cierto, yo que tú sería cuidadosa en leer el journal que acabas de friendear. No me voy a cortar un pelo con los spoilers por ti XP

Yo tenia unos... 13/14? Primero lo pasaban a eso de las 19ºº y me recuerdo corriendo desesperada desde clases a casa de abuela. Y despues madrugando los sábados. Como me costaba eso, pero ay si me esforzaba XD Y como me dolió que nunca pasaran el ultimo capitulo. La puñetera cadena me hizo esperar años. Luego me lo perdí, y resolví descargarlo 8D

Meh. A estas alturas me han spoileado tan feo de tantas maneras que no importa ♥ Ya soy cuasi-inmune a ellos :DDD

Yo ni recuerdo si lo pasaron en Venezuela, el final. Tengo la memoria hecha coladero. Lo cual sería lol considerando que lo doblaron allá y tal.

Atta girl *pets* Si vamos a eso, te puedes ir a stuckgamer.com y te ves los tutoriales en video para rematarla. Fue lo que hice yo, que no he acabado el juego ni una vez (gracias, memory card pirata)

Bueno, tutoriales no son realmente. Es un tipo que se filmó jugando todo el juego y lo posteó en video.

Las marchas son el pan de cada día. Ya las había antes de irme, y se ponían feas a veces. Pero de todos modos, yo ya vivía en Caracas y nunca iba a ninguna porque me da flojera y soy más apolítica que el carajo.

I don't think I'd ever be able to play any Pokemon games. I tried one once and gave up so quickly. Trauma Center does sound interesting, and I have the people recruiting me to get into Phoenix Wright.

But really, I haven't touched my GBA in months. Then again, the DS has a rechargeable source supply so one of my handicaps (being to lazy to change the batteries) might be overcome.

It's not lite, nope, just the regular one. I'd buy it anyway, but it's discontinued over here and the only way to get it is with a pack including Nintendogs (and I don't want that game)

I think I'm annoyed because there's a pink DS and not a blue one.

You know what's weird? Besides DH, all the other books are stuff I've gotten into through their adaptations. Adaptations that were ANIME because those novels were written by Japanese authors. It's kind of weird, actually.

Oops! We'll, after HBP, I can't say that I blame you. But your description of "fugly" was too spot on for me not to vote for it. XDDD

I'm debating getting a DS myself... If it were just a LITTLE bit cheaper, I'd jump on it. Hmm.
