What have you recently purchased?

I bought Settlers of Catan for the family, but when I got home my wife revealed that she already got it for me for my upcoming birthday so I had to take it back.

A new motherboard for my pc and a fantasy book.

The last thing I purchased was;

*Note, not actual tank, just the propane inside.

@ice_radon: Very misleading picture. You need to show us a picture of the actual gas. I demand that you open up that valve and take a picture of it.

It's a joke, for anyone taking this serious.

Note from the estate of the former ice_radon:

They tried to obtain a camera phone picture of liquid propane, was overcome by the gas, and is now deceased. They have chosen to leave Horgen with the now, completely empty tank in their Will.

Thank you,

Attorney Brynlee Katniss Karytyr

@ice_radon: Well I will take what I get.

Went to Denny's restaurant and bought a hamburger and fries.

Added the McFarlane line Harley Quinn action figure to my collection and picked up the Married With Children complete series to watch with the wife at night.

I bought a new TV.

More Green Cola, good shit.

@uninspiredcup: If I may ask, is that a real drink? If so, how does it taste?

@brimmul777: Yep. Not as good a Coca Cola, but still pretty decent. Tasted far worse Cola from supermarkets and what not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Cola

is it actually green?

@comp_atkins: Nope, named because Stevia.

Interesting, I'll try that out if I ever see it in the international section. I'm hunting for good Coke alternatives. I hate Zero, and diet. The best I've found so far is AHA, which is Coca-Cola's version of Bubbly. It has a little more flavour and has less of that salty taste you tend to find in sparkling water. But yeah, I'd just take the hit and drink regular Coke over Zero or diet.

Manly picked it up for Stevia, which I've been using for a while now for tea, porridge etc... Green Cola still has Sucralose, which I guess constitutes as a dodgy product, and caffeine, which don't really care about, but by and large all the horrible shit typically found in Cola is non-existent.

For my most recent purchase! I have been dissatisfied with my ASUS router that keeps disconnecting my devices when they use the 5Ghz frequency and it never tops speeds higher than 100 Mbit (I pay for 250 Mbit). So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that I could buy the Linksys MR8300 for half the price in comparison to Apple's store. For those of you unfamiliar with Apple and routers, Apple used to make SICK routers called Apple Airport Express but they discontinued production of all kinds of routers a few years ago and instead they are now selling that router and the mesh concept which is developed with that router as a foundation. Therefore I have high expectations on this router because Apple used to have such high standards when they made their own routers.

I'm still awaiting delivery where I'm also trying out delivery to a parcel box like this one. I'm a bit excited about that too actually 😆

Some Pokemon cards. Nostalgia has hit me hard and I am addicted.

@Solaryellow: Stull going through mine.

BTW...there's been reports about a few of the discs on this set having issues. You can check the link below for full details.

2L container of Milk.

Good heads up as I was unaware of the replacement discs even with all of the grumbling about pissy audio, missing shot, etc..,

New MOBO for the upcoming 5600X and 32 GB of Corsair lpx RAM. Next up is a 3080 whenever they come in stock.

It would be cool if we described purchases. Perhaps a why we bought said item. This would add to thread by sharing insights into an awesome item.

I bought the sony cs5 speakers since they are some of best below 500 bucks and posses crystal clear sound. Putting together system and need AVR and subs next. BF sales indeed.

As so many other things bought recently, another online purchase I've made has been delayed.

I'm waiting on a new case for my secondary rig. Will also need a new mobo and CPU for it unless I get my hand on a intel Z77 m-ITX mobo. The case is NZXT H210i. I hope to be able to fit a EK PE(I think it is that lineup) 280 radiator in front. I know it says 240 max, but it supports 2x140 fans so it might be doable. Worst case scenario is that I have to remove the front shield and place there instead.

I also bought memory card for Switch and GPU support. These 3000 series cards are heavy.

Pine Orchards groceries with my mom.

@claymoreman23: Bishops*

This DAC/Headphone amp

Professional resume service

Today? Activation code for WinTV.

Gaming? A handful of random PC platformers from GOG to play on my new gaming PC. Been playing WoW almost exclusively for a couple of years but it reignited my love for computer games even though at 40 my hand eye coordination is even worse when I got my Amiga at 11.

Bought Lasagne from the local Italian takeout.

Pretty sure they just defrosted and microwaved it, was pretty dam rank.

A MSI Gaming Laptop.

Case of Coke Zero at Shoppers Drug Mart.

I just realized that my last purchase (a large one). This is my phone, I bought it a month ago.

Full Metal Jacket.

Saw the Ultra HD was 9.99 and tried immediately to jump on it, but couldn't figure out what to add for free shipping. Thought about Blade II, which wasn't even discounted, and Star Trek UHD, even though I dislike JJ Abrams (but thought this movie was at least good when I watched it years ago). I took twenty minutes too long to look through other deals and the deal expired. Luckily, Best Buy still had it, so I decided to simply pay the 3.99 shipping before it happened again. I'm still not upgrading to Prime.

Went to Best Buy for a new charging station and batteries for my controllers. Stopped by the $5 Blu-ray rack on my way out and grabbed League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Big Trouble in Little China and the live action Ghost in the Shell.

Bought the novelization of Planescape: Torment. I've found a lot of bad luck trying to finish the game. Some involve game breaking bugs. So I'm just going to read the whole story.

The Lego Batmobile 1989. Christmas gift to my son and I.

Cigs

I bought a pencil for myself, and I'm happier than everyone. :))))))

Cheap, easy to make, lasts a while.

My Black Friday and Criterion 50 percent off shopping is over.

I've watched all the discs above now except Apu, Il sorpasso and the last movie in Six Moral Tales. Rented the first three in the Apu trilogy from Netflix a few years ago. Annoyingly, they never got the third movie.

I've still only seen Fellini's Nights of Cabiria (three times), 8 1/2, La dolce vita and La strada. This collection has those and eleven other movies. Been hoping for this collection ever since Bergman got his two years ago. It barely fits behind the hinge of my cabinet.

@ezekiel43: Wow! Very nice haul! I have my eye on the Fellini box set, Brighter Summer Day, the Apu trilogy, and The Road Movie trilogy. But I also have a new pc in mind. So who knows if I'll ever get around to the Criterions.

Lightning sale. 20%, not much of a discount, but £10 is alright. Mainly just wanting it for the Wireless. Be good for Retroarch and general Steam games primarily built for Sony.

<<<I'm an impulse buyer on E-Bay. That's how I can <<<explain this purchase.

And I bought Torment because I've had bad luck through the years trying to play Planescape: Torment. Mostly because of bugs. So I decided to read it instead.

@DEVILinIRON: Picked up Dark Sun on GoG along with Goldbox stuff purely on the basis of how good that old art is.

@uninspiredcup: Yeah, the art is spectacular.
