What'd You Get? - Post-Graduation Edition
 by NihonTiger90 on 05.05.2008      30 comments




It's Monday, first day of the work week for those of you with jobs and first day of the school week for those of you with school. I currently have neither.

But it's also time for that one thing that always makes Mondays more bearable... What'd You Get?, Destructoid's one and only chance to brag and not sound like a douche, since everyone else is doing the same thing!

How do you play along? It's simple. Just post what you picked up over the past week. It's as easy as that.

This week, I got the following:



I also got:

- My class ring

- My 360 back from vacation (not yet, but hopefully by this evening)

- A Bachelor of Science in Journalism degree, with a minor in Asian Studies, from Bowling Green State University

So, what'd all of you get?

I actually had enough to finally get an elite, a second controller, Monster Madness, and Skate. Skate is great, also in the mail from Goozex is Gears of War, and Dead Rising.
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
Hey, I got P3FES as well. Also, Mario Kart Wii and GTAIV. Oh, and I got a wireless 360 Rock Band guitar. Its tilt sensing is broken, so I have to send it back.

GTA IV and high blood pressure when the freezing issues started.
Conrad Zimmerman's Destructoid Blog
I grabbed Saints Row to help ease the pain of not playing GTA and I've been enjoying it thus far. Also picked up Lost Odyssey, Oblivion and Bully. Then, five hours later, I returned Oblivion and picked up Devil May Cry 4 instead. I'll probably return that tomorrow, though, since it's entirely too easy to really be a DMC game.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
No games due to GTA, but I did get this:



It's been awhile since I've read'em, and dammit all to hell it's so great.

Spartacus's Destructoid Blog
Got Mario Kart Wii, even though my pre-order was supposed to be canceled. Oh well, it's a lot of fun, and the online is probably the best of any Wii game yet.
Spartacus's Destructoid Blog

@Blehman: Such a great g-novel! How much did that bad boy run you up?
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
I got GTA IV last Monday night at midnight, and then I bought echochrome last night. It literally made my brain hurt.

Also, congrats on graduating!

@bluexy

40 bucks. Not bad considering how much greatness is in it. Also, not bad considering I didn't have to pay for it. Late birthday gift ftw.
TheGoldenDonut's Destructoid Blog
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. I figured I should get one of those re-prints before the stock ran out.

Justice's Destructoid Blog
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (I won it in a comp on here) should be coming this week and the same goes for my special edition GTA IV. I've also got a normal copy coming but I'm selling that on ebay for PROFITZ!
Scape's Destructoid Blog
Picked up GTA IV. Congrats on the degree dude.
mistic's Destructoid Blog
GTA4 here as well...

tried picking up wii fit but sold out in the whole city... probably for weeks to come... if the wii printed money for nintendo, the wii fit is gonna make money obsolete for nintendo :p my local gamestore is this really small tiny shop, mostly avoided by all non-gamers, but on saturday he had more then 40 'old' people coming in asking about it...
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
GTAIV, Metal Slug 3 (XBLA), and Streets of Rage 2 (XBLA). I'm very happy with all three.

Congrats on the degrees to you guys. Now get a damn job, hippies!

Sup, robots? Name's Brian. I'm a 22-year-old graduate of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, majoring in journalism and minoring in Asian Studies. I work as Assistant Gaming Editor over at Blogcritics.org and as part of the crew over at Tomopop. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it because I get to do a lot of cool shit.

I've been a gamer since I was 6 years old and I've played plenty of games, both good and bad. I'm continuously expanding my gaming collection, which has become more of an archive in recent years as I'm focusing on collecting older, less well-known titles. You'd honestly be surprised on what people are missing out on...

Other than gaming, I love anime, manga, sports, movies, TV, and a whole lot more. You'll probably find out more the more often you read my blog.
