    GameFly! I rented it, and I'm glad I did. Finished the game in 3 days of slow grinding through the levels. Quit after I finished, as getting the more expensive costumes seemed like too huge an expenditure of time. Platinum medal farming, euk.

    Bought a pair of headphones for ~$100ish headphones. My last pair is hissing and crackling like crazy, and I don't have speakers (nor want them), so I figured I'd get a solid product rather than buy a so-so one 3+ times. Still, that initial investment hurts...

    You should at least get the Manyu Chifusa costume if you still have the game! There is an exploit to get gold and platinum medals easily. The costume makes things cooler!

    I bought a Vans baseball tee for $30 and No More Heroes 2 for $15. T__T I can't stop shopping.

    To be honest I'm not sure myself, I haven't been spending much lately, but I think it was an R4 card ...
    That was like one, two months ago ...

    My most recent expensive purchase is my electric bill for a couple hundred I didn't pay for a couple months.

    If you want to count things I actually enjoy paying for I bought a fleet of books on amazon to hold me over for the summer. Pretty much all on how the brain works, memory, NLP, and one on body language.

    I paid a deposit for my clear braces treatment last week, cost $1880. But really, I don't have anything to show for it, which is sad at this point. But I should see results in like 2 months I still have like $5000 left to pay! Oh boy.

    Wow that's pretty incredible. I still have the game, as I'm not sure what I want to play next. Maybe I'll try it when I have some time to spare.

    I got all the cameo costumes if I remember right as I already had the coins on hand, including the red ninja girl one (I think that's the one you're talking about), but anything about 80 plats I just didn't bother with. I think most were swimsuits? Haha.

    Bought a USB digital-analog converter/amp for my headphones. A bit pricey (around $75), but well worth it. Originally when I plugged my headphones into the speaker jack on the back or headphone one on the front, I'd get a LOT of static. I don't have a sound card (it's onboard sound), nor do I really want to deal with installing one, so this was the way to go. Sound is as clean as it'll ever be, and I have bass boost for when I want that extra kick.

    I bought a Cappuccino maker the other day. Always wanted one since I have a pretty bad addiction to coffee. Although I say the addiction to coffee is bad, I in fact enjoy having it. xD More sleepless nights ahead!

    Awesome! I've wanted one for a while, that and a breadmaker.

    My latest expensive purchase was a straight shaving razor. I recently started shaving regularly and my beard turns into sandpaper that destroys gilletes, which in turn destroy my face. Few days ago I got fed up with it and decided to give a straight razor a try. Should arrive in the mail next week, which ought to be about the time my face heals from those cheesy disposables.

    $200 Markus chair from Ikea.
    My leather chair I used for gaming was unbearable. Got way to hot to fast and the leather was starting to fall apart.

    This new one is leather, but it has a mesh backing, a headrest, and it is the best chair ever as far as leaning back goes.

    I wish the armrests were adjustable though.

    Textbooks. Ugh. One was a new edition so no used ones, and financial aid decided I wasn't poor enough to get book vouchers. So I ended up paying $150 out of pocket for the damn thing.

    After paying my remaining debt on uni this year (another 300$) this is pretty much all I have to say...



    I also bought GameBoy Micro quite recently, and in mint condition, too. It came with two games, charger, and a nice little bag to fit all that in... 20$ well spent.

    I got paid to get mine taken out. Pretty lucky I guess.
    Pretty painful at the same time. Its a drug testing clinic, they give you placebos and ask your pain level (1-10) every hour.
    After the first hour, when the numbing killed off, it was pretty bad. I kept ringing the bell for like 10 minutes to get some Lortab.

    latest expensive purchase?

    Was one of the first few people to get my hands on the new iPod Touch at the Apple Store on Rideau St. I bought myself the Blue 32GB model first impression; (it blends the look and design of the iPhone 5 with the features and feel of an iPhone 4S) minus the "phone" part but like always "there's an app for that"

    Its time I upgraded to a new monitor. Got me a new 2560x1440 monitor. Loving it so far.

    Probably save up for a few months and buy a new GPU. The 6950 is by no means dated, but with this new resolution it struggles on some games.
