Post A Picture of Your Last Purchase

lol yeah it's big enough to stick a window AC unit in the side panel :D



I love the cold. Pretty much for the same reasons. I hate a hot bed. If you are cold you can warm up, but being too hot sucks. It used to drop as low as -60c in wind chill in the USA. I remember once my wipers froze to the windshield, my wiper motor froze solid and so did the pump.

But Nike Dri Fit are for hot weather. They are so thin they are almost see through. And it was really windy down here yesterday. My nipples looked like I was smuggling peanuts. It was fine once we got to Pompey and started walking around etc.

Everyone in work just gave me a dirty look for bursting out laughing :D
 
Oh yeah and I might have got this too *whistles innocently*

I was celebrating though, as my divorce final decree thing came through the post yesterday.
 
I don't have a pic, but I just picked up a new monitor, some AOC thing. 35" wide, slight curve, 3440 x 1440, Gsync, 100hz, around $900CDN. I actually bought two, but only one landed. Nice damn screen though! MUCH prefer 35" 3440x1440 over 28" @ 4k.

I picked up that monitor a few months back really really impressed, but getting 2 is a bit greedy though :cool:

I couldn't resist the sale. :D I wanted to mess with a triple screen setup for Elite Dangerous, hence the pair. I don't even know if it will work or be worth the pain, but it will be an interesting experiment. :)
 
Well today is a sad day, My Corsair Void wireless *Non Pro* has finally died and no longer turns on after being used for 1 hour everyday on my stationary bike since I bought them in August 2015, They have been dropped, Stepped on, Sat on etc... so they have been through A LOT.

I still have the Void Pro Wireless which is in perfect condition but to replace the Void *non pro* I've pre-ordered the Corsair HS70 Wireless and as Tom gave it a shining review I had to have them ^_^

lol so you bought something, it failed, and you've repaid them by buying another more expensive one?

haha, you're unique buddy that's for sure :D

I sold two bikes today. I just so felt like it this morning. Happy, tbh. I'd never ridden either and they were both here long enough to start weeing me off.

So with an absolutely enormous chunk of money I managed this.

And these, at half price (£50). Was going to get another pair of Nanos but all sold out. I must be getting old or something.

It failed because it was dropped on concrete floors from over 6 feet up, Sat on, Stepped on etc... multiple times.

I'll go drop some Beyerdynamic 990's from 6 feet up onto a concrete floor multiple times over a 3 year time period and see how they fair.

And they aren't more expensive, Same exact price I paid for the Voids 3 years ago.

Why do you want cleatless pedals for a bmx bike? O.o

Because they are pretty much identical to the ones without them. I can remove most of that if I want and put some pins into the 4 holes. Or, if I ever do give a larger bike a go then I can use them. Shimano do some good "skate type" SPD.

Mostly though they were cheap, and are all sealed etc. Hope are £130 and the rest are all at least £100.

Some dude built a 26" BMX recently on 700cc wheels.

Which piqued my attention. Mostly because I know with my genes there will come a day where I can not ride BMX any more (well, not properly, standing). There is already something quite badly wrong with my right hip. If I lift my leg up higher than about 1ft it hurts like all hell. My mother has arthritis and osteoporosis so it is only really a matter of time dude. I ain't getting any younger.

I spoke to a bloke the other day and he said he can do 50 miles on his racing bike, yet couldn't even do 2 miles on a BMX. As I said, properly, standing. It's a whole lot harder than just sitting there pumping your legs.
 
As I really want to play God of War, The Uncharted series, The Last of Us, Infamous, Killzone, Horizon Zero Dawn etc... I got myself a brand new PS4 Pro.

Nice! You won't regret it. Awesome games, some of which I have to get 'round to finishing/starting myself. The Last of Us is in my top five video games ever made.
 
The last of us was so good im surprised I liked it because I bloody hate uncharted, cant wait for the second game seems like forever.
 
I've been strongly considering the PS4 pro and XB1X. The problem is they still run at 30 FPS, and I watched FO4 on the XB1X and it seemed sooo slow. I may get the PS5, depending on what it costs. I just don't think they are quite there yet but I do want one for my bedroom. I put a 55" in there a whiles ago and yeah, I love lying in bed watching it.

I know what you mean, but I don't consider it a deal-breaker personally. As much as I love 120 FPS, it's not the be-all and end-all. If the FPS is locked at 30 FPS and I'm sitting further away from the TV, it doesn't bother me tremendously. I think online competitive games or FPS games I'd find frustrating on console, or games with amazing graphics, but third person action adventures like Uncharted or Infamous, a console is fine.

I guess it comes down to years of playing games at 60 FPS. When you see them at 30 they seem horrible. And the thing is? that would be the game I would buy it for.

I remember playing Fallout 3 on the 360. Once. And only once.

I'm more excited about playing on my console when it arrives than on my multi thousand £ PC ^_^

I've watched bits but I'm waiting until it arrives to properly go through it instead of watching it on YouTube.

No point getting the XB1X, Every game it has is on PC minus Halo and Sunset Overdrive which are both eventually apparently coming to PC according to recent leaks and dev interviews.

So far I have ordered/pre-ordered the following -

Detroit: Become Human
God of War
Killzone: Shadowfall
Infamous: Second Son and First Light
Horizon Zero Dawn
Spiderman
The Last Guardian
The Last of Us Remastered
Uncharted Collection and number 4 + The Lost Legacy


Should give me a lot to do ^_^
