Speaking of Elder Scrolls, Morrowind is like $11 on Steam today, I'm probably going to grab it in a few minutes and then put Morrowind Overhaul or whatever the update mod is called on it. I loved the game when it was new but I don't have a copy of my own and would really like to replay it.

Picked up some new teas from Lupicia (a Japanese chain that has a few US stores) yesterday. They're pretty good but mostly it's that I couldn't resist the package designs.


Had to get these new seasonal teas from Lupicia. Not only is the tea itself good, I totally love the package design. by MaxArcher, on Flickr

^ Nice. I've been thinking about something similar. I'm in the market for a new EDC light and all the ones that would be appropriate (decent power with a good mid-level, comfortable in a jeans pocket) are 123 lights, which I tend to avoid because of battery cost issues.
 
Ordered one of these to split a audio channel so the video room in church can still have sound when there is a class in the room next door(no output monitor in the video room so we have to use a projector outside the room to see the current camera). Very cheap from monoprice.

Nice flashlight. Not even sure what lossless orange peel means, but it sounds super good! I her lossless and my brain goes straight to uncompressed audio. :D I need a good tactical light, but I will use it for getting the kids to bed. It takes strategic tactics, trust me....

LOL I know what you mean. Teenager in the house. I swear, there's times when I wanted to bring the garden hose to his room. :)
 
Ordered a Macbook Pro Retina. 15" 2.7(3.7)Ghz i7, 16GB Ram. Wanted a Macbook for aaaaaages to replace the behemoth 18.4" Toshiba Satellite I have now. Kinda needed one for my next uni course. Got a cracking deal on it too, seeing as my friend works in the shop.

Couldn't be bothered with the whole Mac vs PC thing. They both are excellent and work well. I use both at uni but only have Windows systems at home. Looking forward to something thats rather easy to live with walking all over uni as well as being a bit of a beast when coming to performance for a laptop.

Keen!

Ive had mine since 2007 and its just now slowing down. Great Purchase and if you take good care of it, it should last you many years to come!
 
Awesome - thanks! :)

I never drop this much green on anything, letalone a laptop, and it's my first mac, so reassurance is much appreciated! :)
 
Nice Keen you will love it, have my retina now for about 5 weeks or so and its great.

Not really a purchase but got a HP computer for FREE.

It's not upgrade-able, so can't use it for gaming :( but it'll get me away from using the PS3 so much. Afraid I'm going to kill it.

The size thing is a lot of what has me on Mac, too. Equivalent PCs are almost all 17". The Retina is amazingly small, too, I'm dying to get one to replace my current early 2011 MBP.

Yeah haha. When I was first in the market for a laptop 3 years ago I thought bigger screen size was a good idea... But it really isn't. You can't do much with an 18.4" screen out and about. It had more RAM than usual laptops of its day but only a 2.2ghz dual core so its rather slow with games (not that I use it for that) but not too shabby with Photoshop and such. Looking forward to the mbpr to enrich my computing life in many areas. :p

Ran fine, however after about 5 minutes playing guild wars 2 my PSU blew up most likely because of the added stress (mind you it was supposed to be a 750w supply)

Anyways this lead to me buying this

I don't blame you, they are the sexiest headphones I have ever seen! Where did you get them!? And how much!?

:D
V-moda online shop. £125 base price, 25 bucks shipping, £40 tax when they got here. And so, so worth every penny!
 
I got an H&M sweater a few days ago because winter. Can't find a picture of it online and can't be bothered to take it off and snap it.

It was on the bargain rail. I wasn't really shopping, just went there to return a coat that my wife bought me (too small) so I did a swap for the sweater.
 
Got these this weekend,
AiAiAi TMA-1 Beatport Edition for $130

The clarity of these things compared to my beats... g'damn.

I'm getting this camcorder for Christmas. Quite the amazing deal for a $200 camcorder. It's rare to get 52X zoom for this cheap and this video helped me decide on this camcorder. If you are interested into the price that I got it at, it's on buy.com.
