The last thing I bought was the new Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CD.  It doesn't quite feel like Christmas to me without hearing some of their music.

64 GB SanDisk USB flash drive

I've been meaning to get me one of those.  They're really versatile, whether used for backups or file transfers.  I notice the flash drives are becoming more reasonable as time goes on.  There was a time that a 4 GB flash drive cost as much as a 64 GB one would now.

A bunch of 360 games (mostly COD) totaling $35.

Within the past month...

2 $20 Nintendo eshop Prepaid Cards

Some old school Mario games
-Super Mario Kart (1992); downloaded it from the Nintendo eShop for $7.99 - Never played the original which is weird because my sister used to have a SNES.

-Super Mario World (1991); downloaded it from the Nintendo eShop for $7.99 - Never played this version which is the original NES version. I have played (and still own today) the GBA version. Brings back childhood memories. :D

-Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (GBA); downloaded it from the Nintendo eShop for $4.99 - Another game that brings back childhood memories. :happy:

From Walmart

The Simpsons: The Complete Second Season DVD Box Set - $13.97
The Simpsons: The Complete Tenth Season DVD Box Set - $19.06

It's taken 11 years, but my Simpsons DVD collection set is COMPLETE! :D I started collecting back in 2003 when I was about 10, turning 11.

Season 2 was the only season I was missing in the first 9 seasons. Could have completed this years ago had I not of been so lazy about picking up that season. :lol: I was gonna extend my collection further up to Season 15, but I don't know about that. The episodes are hit and miss from seasons 11-15.

I guess the last things I bought were a 20-ounce Mtn. Dew Game Fuel Citrus Cherry and some Halloween decorations.  :happy:

For $2.80, I bought a McChicken and small fries for dinner last night at McDonald's. I also unexpectedly got a free chocolate milkshake, which was actually a screwed-up order for someone who ordered after I did (whipped cream added by mistake) so the server guy asked me if I wanted the first shake and I said sure.  :happy:  I guess you can say that was a bonus!  :lol:  :P

Technically, I didn't buy this. It's actually a (soon to be) birthday gift for me from someone else. :happy:

Sceptre 40" 1080p HDTV (Being Home Delivered this week!) :dance:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/SCEPTRE-X405BV-FHDR-40-LED-Class-1080P-HDTV-with-ultra-slim-metal-brush-bezel-60Hz/27608624

I picked out this TV mainly because...
-It has 3 HDMI ports which comes in handy since I'll need one for my cable set up box, another for my Wii U, and a third possibly for a PS4 (still haven't decided if it's worth getting one or not yet) Although reading some of the reviews, some customers have said it has 4 HDMI ports. Either way 3 or 4 is good. :thumbsup:

-I overlooked this at first, but this HDTV goes up to 1080p 60fps! Playing Mario Kart 8 (which runs at 60fps on single player mode) on this TV is going to be glorious compared to the 720p 30 fps HDTV I have right now! :D

-SWIVEL BASE. Enough said.

-Hey, it's energy efficient, nothing wrong with that.

*Walmart.com also had a 1 day sale going on for another Sceptre 40" HDTV for $199! (incredible deal and crazy to pass up on imo) That's the one I was going to get, but of course it was already out of stock. Go figure. :rolleyes:

TV Safety Straps...

Yeah, turns out I need these to lower the risk of my new HDTV toppling over. Something I would have never known had it not of been for the owner's manual mentioning it because it certainly wasn't mentioned online in the product description. <_<

Other than that, this HDTV is fantastic! I LOVE it! :D

I ended up changing my mind about getting Season 10 back then, but I did order it this time around (from Amazon) and should be here this week.

Also got Super Mario Galaxy, never played it before, but I remember all the hype about how great it was years ago so I thought my niece and I would give it a try.

I just bought the complete series of "Rocko's Modern Life" on DVD.   :clap:

I just wish it was uncensored, although it still amazes me how much the Nickelodeon censors actually DID allow.   :blink:

REMEMBER, this was technically a show for KIDS.

I had no intention of ever buying this, but since this controller is compatible to play virtual SNES/Nintendo 64 games on the Wii U, I got it for that reason only from Amazon.com.

Unlocked Motorola Moto G 2013, to accompany my iPhone. I decided I wanted to try out Android, and the Moto G was the closest choice to stock Android without having to pay over $100 dollars.

Toshiba Canvio Desk 2TB External Hard Drive for my Wii U

Man, I don't think I've ever done so much research on electronics when it came to external hard drives in my life! I had a really hard time choosing one I felt would be right for me, but this one seemed to be the one mentioned a lot and Nintendo did test/recommend it so...yeah. I'm gonna be downloading a lot of games from here on out, 2TB will be more than enough storage space, actually it's probably ridiculously too much.  :lol:

EDIT: Something that grinds my gears, I wonder why the portable ones are just as expensive as the desktop ones, but in some cases have less storage space. What a big rip-off. Also I would have thought 1 and 2TB hard drives would be a lot cheaper than what they are right now considering you can get some up to 3-4TB for only $20 more on average. :thinking:
