This isn't technically a personal purchase, but I just got the Lego Ecto-1 as a birthday present and that's too damn cool not to share.

Got this boxed and complete copy of Faselei to add to my NGPC collection. Another of the harder to find games ticked off.

No, I am not kidding. It actually does.
Faselei is German and translates into drivel.

Re: What's the latest thing you bought?
Haha, that's actually a pretty amusing factoid. Fortunately it's supposed to be a very good game. I now own two copies of it so my house is full of drivel.Kiwi the Tortoise wrote:Sounds like drivel....A Beta Fu7ure wrote:Got this boxed and complete copy of Faselei to add to my NGPC collection.

It's a curious choice for a name. I wonder where they picked it from? The NGPC is infamous for it's odd translations so I wonder if someone in Japan got their meanings wrong. In the game, I believe, Faselei is the name of the army unit your mechs fight in.

Re: What's the latest thing you bought?
Bought an anime and 5 games since I last posted:
The Irresponsible Captain Tylor - The Complete Series (DVD) - I've watched some of this before and love it. It's up there with Slayers and Gintama as my favorite comedies, in that they all are silly enough to make light of their situations, but not too silly so as to forget to have actual character development and meaningful stories. Now I can finally finish this baby.
Front mission 3 (PSOC/PS3) - Been meaning to get this since forever. Had just enough in my PSN wallet left for it, too.
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (Wii U) - I can't believe how hard it was to find a decently priced copy of this version in a store, even used.
Fragile: Farewell to the Moon (Wii) - I guess it's never gonna go below $20, so I might as well grab it while I can. Dunno if I'll like it, but I could probably make back the money in a few years if I don't.
Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol (DS) - Been meaning to get this for waaaay too long. I recall Nintendo Power's review making me hesitant to get it, but screw them. Got it for $6, anyways.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (DS) - Might as well, so I'll have the whole series once the collection comes out. (except Investigations, but screw Investigations)

Upgraded my cart only copy of Crush Roller to a boxed and complete version and can now use the second cart for 2 player and trading (if I ever get the 2p link-up lead which is harder to find than the Holy Grail, for some reason).
Also got another cross ring adapter with it. These things are always nice to have in case one breaks.

Volgur the Viking (GoG) - was on sale and I remember some folks here praising it
Action Replay Plus (Sega Saturn) - Bit the bullet and grabbed this. I'm gonna need it eventually, anyways...

Needed new shoes, so I bought the Nike Air Monarch from SportChek this past week.
