@BearsEatBeets yeah. Shame really. The 'panther' suit is brilliant.

@RogerRoger That's a fair point!

@KALofKRYPTON @RogerRoger I'm very tempted by this guy. Iron Studios seem to be nailing it at the moment.

@BearsEatBeets Not a fan of BaleBat myself.
Good looking piece though.

Any Final Fantasy collectors might be interested in these

This has caught my eye. It would go well with my Arkham Knight Batman.

@RogerRoger My pleasure. I frequent a few collectible sites and I'm on a few mailing lists so I'll post anything good gaming related for anyone following the 'Tat'. Probably some non-gaming items from time to time as well.

I'm not sure how deep your desire for Lara Croft stuff goes but this has gone on sale at one of the sites.

@RogerRoger Yeah I wasn't bothered either. I wouldn't even consider it an iconic weapon to the character. Don't worry it's perfectly safe for a bottled up, angry person as it doesn't even work like a proper bow. Although that could lead to more rage if you tried to use it and broke it for that money.

Sideshow has a giveaway for an Enterprise for any Trek collectors

Any fans of Lego and Mario - this may be of interest

Here's to hoping it's a start to a trend of more gaming based sets.

@BearsEatBeets I just wish Mario wasn’t that ugly. Bowser looks great and the sets are cool but I would have preferred a normal minifig of Mario.

@nessisonett Yeah he does look a bit funny looking, they basically made him box-shaped. Just noticed someone give the set a bad review because 'it's not sonic and I like sonic' lol.

@BearsEatBeets You’d think the Sega vs Nintendo thing would have died out by now 😂😂😂

Any Bioshock collectors in the house?

@RogerRoger Monopoly fan?

Any Dark Souls (board)gamers?

Woohoo Trails in the Sky Second Chapter soundtrack finally arrived from Japan! I was concerned that Customs would burn it or something.

Damn that BioShock figurine is a thing of beauty @BearsEatBeets. Scary, grim beauty. I have Zelda monopoly stored somewhere. Owning the Temple of Time in board game form was oddly satisfying.

@mookysam I wonder how many gaming versions they have done? I have the Skyrim one nut haven't actually played it.

Hello, thread.

After a recent clearout, I rediscovered I have this:

It's an official solid metal Codemasters logo paperweight / ornament. The C and M come apart, and reattach with magnets. It's one hefty bit of tat.

The reason I have it actually isn't because of my current work (thanks for reading), but a previous job. I worked at my local HMV for several years, and during that time they introduced the pureHMV rewards scheme. It's now defunct, but at the time, you could exchange points earned from buying stuff for exclusive items. Buying lots of games with staff discount, I accrued a fair number of points, and the teenage me decided to spend them on this Codemasters logo that does nothing.

It came in a presentation box and everything, but it's currently sitting on my desk and now here I am telling you about it. Cheers.

@RogerRoger I don't recall exactly what attracted me to the blasted thing in the first place. But there we are.

As far as tat received from working in games media is concerned, I've not had much
