The "What Was The Last Thing You Bought?" Thread

[Mike]

Paintball all the way.

There's no practical consequence for getting hit in lasertag!

Nor can you run around freely because ooh the guns are expensive electronics, and ooh so is the vest, and ooh we're stuck in this tiny dark room so we'll run into things and brake them/hurt ourselves or each other.

I was playing laser tron once, and my gun wouldn't shoot, and it was constantly registering hits against me. When I looked at the little display on the chest piece that says how many shows I had left, it was gibberish.

Then the dude who works there calls me over, and tells me to get a new vest, because I was basically wearing an electrical fire.

Fun times. I think the place went out of business a couple years ago.

That happens sometimes. But When you get a working pack, and have a solid gameplan (I go in with a team of four, and we camp four spots and hold the "castle area". People try to get in and shut us down, but we've got tactics.) then things get really fun and become great exercise.

Oh yeah, Other things I bought with the rest of that stuff: DS XL, Balder's Gate Dark Alliance II, Front Mission on the DS, and FF III on the DS.

[Yuko-san]

^welcome to the ds owners club. Hows it feel?

Also I got a blue dsi xl. And a big case with the new pokemon mascots on it.
Zekrom be awesome.

[Char Aznable]

Eh, I have Fallout: New Vegas, the DS gets limited attention. It does look classy. It's a Mocha color.

[The Final Negotiator]

An $8 knockoff Devastator from Big Lots! (not bad combined or as vehicles, but issues with the robots):


batteries for a couple watches, including the one from Mrs. Negotiator on Valentine's Day...

It looks a little familiar... She picked it out herself... I love her logic. She's quite an "angel"...

Also, a little "souvenir" Transformer from the comics show for a couple bucks, since I saw nothing worth buying (low- or high-priced) - like $60 for Adam West's autograph. Plus, my brother-in-law felt sorry for me, so he handed me one of his comic books. I then ended up finding the trade paperback I wanted at a used book shop - 5 bucks, and in good condition.

Plus some food... Yeah, food's good. Some supermarket, some Mickey D's, some Wendy's (asiago ranch chicken sandwich - awesome!), and I was also "thinking a little Arby's" (Angus sandwich - awesome!).

Crud! Forgot to pay my bowling league fee... I guess I'll owe $20 next week...

[Sharpshooter005]

That is a nice watch

I suppose the plastic transformers fine too

[Yuko-san]

awe childhood, where did you go?

Watch is awesome, and I love the transformer. Did they have one in blue? Or an Optumis Prime knockoff?

Also going to go see The Adjustment Bureau. So movie tickets.

[Char Aznable]

Gas to and from A&G Ohio. 8bit Duane and the Amazing Brando were there (I have befriended Duane), as was Wendy Lee (got her sig on my badge), and I crashed Brentalfloss' concert in epic fashion with a 5 second rule on dead hookers...as well as earned the name Super Mega Kame Guru. Now, I have con zombie in massive form.

I forgot to say, the exclamation point is part of "Big Lots!" name. I wasn't shouting or anything... Still, Devy for $8, and even if it's gotta be my first kitbash, I think it was worth the 8 bucks. Plus, my brother-in-law has the real Devy, and it helped us figure out the assembly...

awe childhood, where did you go?

Where it usually goes... In boxes/bags, under steps/(on shelves), to flea markets/eBay/trash heaps... It went lots of places... Alot of mine are still in remarkably good shape, despite the fact that I hand them to my nephew and nieces. Like I told my mom, toys just shouldn't meet their end MIB/MOC/NIB. Besides, when they rarely break, I get better at fixing them every day... My brother-in-law, the Star Wars fan, was shocked at some of the Star Wars diecast stuff I still have... Also, apparently, I not only have Micronauts and their Tranformers descedants, but also some Blockman characters (though labelled "Robotech"). The Takara Trifecta... Hey, I got some chibi Valkyries, too...with guns!

Watch is awesome, and I love the transformer. Did they have one in blue? Or an Optumis Prime knockoff?

Kind of like a negotiator knock off model... No, not much except for a few yellow Devvies and other combiners (Aerialbots, Protectobots, and Stunticons) and even those are gone now. The dollar stores have really little Leo Primes and so-so TF wannabes. However,  Big Lots! & dollar stores are about it, unless Walmart does their "Easter Basket" specials again... Haven't seen any Primes or Megs at all... May have to just get a Tek 6 instead...

UPDATE: Y'know, with all the fun discussion on Monday, I forgot to mention that I bought donuts & donut "holes" for the office...and I like donuts. I also bought a coffee, which I didn't share, but it was too small to share anyhow.   On the donut box was a coupon: buy a jumbo coffee and get two free donuts. I could probably share that coffee...

[Char Aznable]

Pokemon white.

Maybe I should look into one of those cheap-ass Devy models..I was big into the Alternators set and the detail they had. I'm still looking for Alternator Mirage. He was a GT40...must have for my GT40 collection...

[Yuko-san]

^You got pokemon too Char? It must really be making a come back. I've got it, but felt disapointed with it. Not much in the way of a story line, and I saw the ending coming.

Anyway, I'm trying to convince my mom to let me get a broadsword and shield. Why? Because everything is going to hell here and I want to protect myself.

A what and a what, Yuko? I have an entire armory of bladed instruments. And, it will only cost-- A QUARTER!

..What, are vikings pillaging your lawn or something

[Yuko-san]

No. Both banks down the street from my house had attempted robberies. And I live across the street from a bank.

And a full armory doesn't cost a quarter here. Good armor costs a lot. My mom's cool on the shield, and even some throwing quills (bad ass Chinese weapon. Think Kunai, but smaller and harder to see when thrown). The sword is what takes convincing. She says I have to many already. I say never enough.

[Sharpshooter005]

She says I have to many already. I say never enough.

..Yeah I suppose I can kind of see that. Knives would make more sense I mean it's like a sword but...theres a scale difference.
