Since we have a thread for our recent music purchase, I thought it would be an idea to start up a thread on recent book and/or video game purchases, since I find myself purchasing these things (particularly books, of course) more often than music nowadays. I thought that I at least will get something out of this thread, even if no-one else will

Honestly, I really think you should turn your own text pink on that one Well, at the very least this thread will keep you up to date with all the wonderful books that I'm buying and then never reading (I buy them faster than I can read them! I will read them all eventually though).

I got the same sampler with Robot Chicken, but haven't got around to watching any of it yet.
Anyway, bought 3 games for my PS2 today, for $50 total:
The Warriors, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Smackdown: Here comes the pain

That Moononites episode isn't the best, but its just a sampler. ATHF is a real aquired taste and doesn't appeal to everyone... most people can't be bothered spending the time to appreciate it

I utterly Hated it myself. You are the first metal head I have seen that hatted it. I absolutely loved it, even though it had be strapped in my seat I couldn't move with the tension. It was very unconventional and really split people down the middle. You either understood it, or were dissapointed that it didn't have a Hollywood ending.

with all due respect the ending was an actual typical hollywood ending.....no resolve = sequel......= more money from the people for the studios pumping out 3 part movies with no plot, poor characters and big budget let downs.
I felt the same way after watching a lot of the "recommended" movies people keep talking about....But I recommend the japanese manga to movie "Ichi the killer", at least you'll know this much, it's violent, super violent, so violent it isn't even based in reality....or even Japanese flicks "The Neighbor No. 13" or "Audition". find any one of them, they're much better than anything hollywood is pumping out these days.

there are 6 seasons of Monk on DVD so Australia still has to import two of them, plus, the 7th season is starting soon.

yeah, but seeing as Monk gets about zero love down here, I don't think they're gonna be arriving anytime soon.
