What have you bought recently?

[V]

An unloicensed potato peeler.

 

[Angel]

Technically not bought it as it's provided for by a disability fund, but Jake's brand new 128gb iPad will be here in two weeks.

 

[Kurisu]

Bought Trish and Lady costumes for DMC4, DMC4's theme, and... Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami. I heard good things about this saga so this is gonna be great.

My favourite £3 meal deal: Hoisin duck wrap, chilled coffee and a packet of apple slices. As you can see, I’m one heck of a hardcore spender.

Whoa, take it easy. I don't want anyone here breaking the bank.

Oof, too late. England has fallen.

 

[V's patron]

Last week I rented Infinity war for 4.99 and Fantastic Beasts for 2.99.

This week I bought the first issue of Border Town for $3.99, the first issue of the Dreaming for $3.99, the first volume of New X-men for $2.99 and All Star Superman for $5.99.

 

[Angel]

Chicken. Pepsi. And milk.

 

[Dante's Stalker]

Bought too many pizzas with too many sides and too many desserts.
Later I will also be buying some bags of lollies.

 

[Deadlegend]

Made probably the most expensive purchase this year; a Ted Baker trench coat....

 

[Angel]

Nothing. Because some moron online stole my card details and tried to rob me of almost £500.

Jeez, what a douche. Did you report this to your bank?

 

[Angel]

Jeez, what a douche. Did you report this to your bank?

Aye, they were the ones who flagged it to me. I had my card declined making an online transaction and so popped in to reactivate my account. What was meant to be a simple verification of my ID ended up being a 30 minute call with the fraud team and finding out some selfish git had tried to buy loads of electronics, pay off a mobile bill and some other stuff using my details. Bank refused every transaction and thankfully safeguarded my account, so no money lost. Just massively inconvenienced without easy access to money.

But could have been so much worse so grateful I'm with a good bank. An inconvenience, yes, but better than being robbed blind and nothing being done about it.

Seriously though, this sort of theft really effs me off - I can understand stealing to survive (even if I don't agree) but no one needs a 54 inch TV...

Ahh well, like you said, it could’ve been much worse! My mym recently machine washed our card, and it still works somehow!
Some people really don’t care about others. They see money, they take; regardless of consequences or what the other might think. Kudos to your bank!

 

[Deadlegend]

Today bought milk and my favourite sushi set. Unsure of how healthy it is, but better than what I’d previously eat. Gotta start dieting properly...

I do have the Graphic Arts book but I noticed, as I'm sure most people here did, that none of the interviews or commentaries have any of the staff that left Capcom. Even if the people who talked about the game did work on it they're those who are left. I wanted to see what the other people who worked on the project said. I have very poor Japanese skills but as I get better I'll be able to read more and more so hopefully, before long I'll be able to read what the book says.

Chicken. Pepsi. And milk.

Just don't consume it all at once.

 

[Deadlegend]

Pre-ordered the DMC5 Deluxe Edition...because screw it, I want it!



(Yet to buy a PS4 though...)

 

[Lain]

Bought a book detailing the history and impact of the Napoleonic Wars since I'm such a history nerd. :angel:

 

[lorddemolatron]

Well some people would expect me to do this or buy that game as preorder on Steam:

 

[Kurisu]

Bought Kiwami 2 last week. I finished Kiwami 1 yesterday but I need time to heal myself after that ending so it's gonna have to wait. I bought the Steelbook Edition which looks amazing.
