Benny's randomly-updated Posterous

Benny's randomly-updated Posterous http://bling.co.vu Only updated when I want to blog via email. posterous.com Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:23:36 -0800 Came back from Malaysia to a few games. Well, seven. http://bling.co.vu/came-back-from-malaysia-to-a-few-games-well-s http://bling.co.vu/came-back-from-malaysia-to-a-few-games-well-s

From top to bottom:

Dead Rising. Having just completed the sequel to this fairly recently
on PC, I was kinda interested to see how the original played. Sadly
it's a 360 exclusive so I couldn't buy it on PC, but hey, that's what
I have a 360 for.

Grand Theft Auto IV Complete. It's GTA IV, enough said. Plus it also
includes Episodes from Liberty City (The Ballad of Gay Tony and The
Lost and the Damned).

Halo 3. Another obvious one, 360 exclusive.

Guitar Hero 5. Ah yes, the good ol' Guitar Hero series. They've only
just killed it off, but that doesn't mean that the existing games
aren't worth playing. I'm missing some of the earlier GH games and
GH6, but I've built a decent collection already.

Red Dead Redemption. Yahtzee awarded this with number two in his top
five games of 2010, so that pretty much made it a must-buy straight
ofd the bat. Just before I left for Malaysia there was actually a sale
on Xbox Live for all Rockstar stuff, and RDR DLC was 50% off. I wasn't
sure if you could buy DLC without owning the game, but it turns out
you can; the Undead Nightmare Collection Pack was mine.

Halo Reach. Truth be told I was never sure how well first-person
shooters would work on a console, I'm surprised to say they work
pretty well. I had actually finished Reach before owning the actual
game thanks to a lending of the game from a friend, but I wanted to
own it anyway because it was actually that good.

Halo 3: ODST. Last game on the list is another Halo game. Surprise!

The iPod was actually about the size of my fist and quite a bit
thicker, making the headphones very uncomfortable indeed.

Same store that had the epic Domokun collection in the front window
also had this collection of Android Droids.

Couldn't buy them individually, the set was AU $100.

Excuse the terrible photo, reflections off glass are a bit of a pain.

It's an un-marked dial in the centre, between the driver and passenger
seats. It faces the backseat passengers. It seemingly serves no
purpose that I could tell.

Oh, and it's in a Mitsubishi Pajero. Quite an old one though, probably
2002 or older?

What does it do?

headphones, so we found some in a little store in Malaysia.

There's actually so many lulz here it isn't funny. Where to begin?

The Nike + iPod logo? On headphones?

The headphones themselves, which are actual apple-shaped?

It may or may not have been supposed to be "Egg" instead of "Ehh".

Ehhhh.

Probably about 1m high. No idea if it was for sale or not, I didn't ask.

So it turns out there's actually all sorts of insane flavours. One or
two more to follow.

I have absolutely no idea who that actually is, but just by looking at
him you can tell he eats that rice everyday.

Also quite epic. Quite peppery, too.

Not really all that tasty though.

Nikon 600mm, pretty epic stuff.

Rough price conversion works out to be just over AU $10,000.

One scoop of cookies and cream, one freshly-made waffle, and chocolate
sauce to top it all off.

It seemed quite large at the time, but in reality it's really not that
much bigger than a large coke from Maccas.

Also: that's what she said.
