Breaking Bad is so awesome.

Ooh, I got Band of Brothers on Blu-ray for chrissie. Really looking forward to it as I haven't seen any of the series bar 10-15 minutes when it was on tv this time round and it looked quality.

today picked up

Arkan - Hilal

3 Claymore manga (think a female version of the 2nd half of the Berserk manga series

for christmas I got myself Vagrant Story from the Playstation Network and the 3 Valkyria Chronicles expansions too, despite still being in the early stages of the game (got stuck and haven't played it for a bit)

 

[Shadow298]

impulse buy of Ghost In The Shell 2.0 on blu-ray.

wanted to buy this for a while, so glad that I held off until now.

 

[Shadow298]

picked up Cynic - Traced In Air and have to say not only is it a fantastic album it also has some of the best artwork I have ever seen in a CD!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Just found these in the letter box:

Iron Maiden - The Early Days DVD
Iron Maiden - Live After Death DVD
Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny Of Souls

Pretty ashamed I hadn't picked these up sooner. I was always holding out to get the Japanese version of ToS with the bonus track, to match my Japanese version of The Chemical Wedding, as the bonus track on that is quite good, but finally realised I was never going to get around to picking it up. Boo.

 

[Southy]

So you should be ashamed too

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Today arrived my order from Metal God Apparel...a couple of shirts and a free copy of 'Fight - The War of Words K5 demos". Shirts on sale and a free cd that I wanted anyway = win, and they are pretty cool actually. Looking forward to hearing these unreleased Fight tracks!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Recently recieved:

Iron Maiden - Flight 666 special edition DVD
Fight - Into The Pit box set
The Sisters Of Mercy - First and Last and Always remaster
Samael - Era One

My Rock Band drum kit and 2x wireless guitars finally arrived this week too. Ordered from JB Hifi online on NYE, $30 total for the three inclusive of shipping. Now I just need a PS3 and Rock Band

 

[Southy]

How fucking good is that Volbeat album, I mean, fucking ace, amirite?

Today I got Foxboro Hottubs - Stop drop an dRoll, pretty good actually

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yes, Volbeat are a very cool band.

 

[FerretallicA]

They'd be a lot better if they'd stick to writing decent songs and leave the pop/punk filler bullshit out.

 

[Shadow298]

got Mass Effect 2 today.

first brand new 360 game that I've brought in months and pretty god so far, more streamlined and slimmed down then the last game.
combat is much better, as are the graphics.
top notch voice acting too.
one grip is the lack of RPG elements in it.

two discs though, so hoping for a decent sized game.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I like that Volbeat mix it up with poppy and punky stuff. Keeps it interesting.

 

[Southy]

my new Blaze Bayley album arrived today, hands down the best thing the man himself has ever done musically, fucking brilliant, spun it 3 times already, cannot get enough of it. Fan of Blaze or not, you need to hear this album, the band is on fire throughout it

 

[Stonewall]

After TMWWND that is a fucking awesome thing to hear.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I got mine a few days ago as well. After a few listens I wouldn't be saying it is a better album than TMWWND just yet, because that one was something else, but it certainly is a worthy follow up in the same vein. Can't wait to get more listens under my belt.

Death on the Road DVD turned up in the mail yesterday, making my Iron Maiden DVD collection complete! Now I just need to watch them all...

Also grabbed these ones heavily reduced from the closing down sale of our local leading edge music, making way for a new JB.

Downset - Do We Speak A Dead Language?
NIN - And All That Could Have Been
Placebo - Black Market Music
Static X - Machine
