      My brother found Batman: Arkham City at Walmart last night for $28. We'd hoped to find the game on sale for the holidays and more than half off seemed almost too good to be true for something so new.

          I have replaced the chair since taking that pic like around 6-7 months ago...but the monitor remains...and it remains awesome (FD Trinitrons are badass).

            nice bullets too!

            My dad had a Sony Trinitron... I went with a Philips Professional flat screen CRT 17", back in the day, very nice monitor. I only got rid of it around 2 years ago. Nice to see you still make use of yours, in this throw away society .. :)

              I bought it a few years back...found a place that had them as new surplus from a business or government agency...and it had some scuffing in storage, but was brand new. Its a Sony GDM 5411 (sgi branded) 21", has perfect and beautiful color, and it can run pretty much any resolution!

              The bullets are some that have rolled out of boxes that I found later OR that had defects and I was afraid to shoot (something that has a big dent in the side always makes me nervous...anything with any visible defects in the brass I'm very unlikely to shoot...so it gets moved up there as a sad sort of unintentional decoration because I don't like throwing stuff away).

              I've got 7.62x39, 9mm, 9x18mm Makarov, .40S&W, .45ACP, and .22LR up there and scattered around in various places on my desk. I've also got a whole menagerie of controllers/input devices as well.
