Also, now I don't have to wait until it comes on Games with Gold :p

and here's my xmas stuff:

 
For Christmas my family built a house for me (one level bungalow, small attic, lounge and open plan kitchen, utility room, bedroom with ensuite bedroom and private garden). Fully owned, no rent, insane profit for us if we ever sell as its valued for £200k and we used family members for the build (brother is a carpenter, uncle is a builder, great uncle is an electrician and plumber, grandad is a structural architect)

A family-built house; that's pretty cool! And an amazing Christmas gift )
 
Just saw Ryse:Son of Rome XB1 digital downlowd for £4.99 at SimplyGames and I simply had to purchase it.

FYI Ryse is definitely the longest game to download/install time wise so if you're holding off on installing your other games due to Ryse I'd suggest doing it over night.

That was you can get on Transformers sooner :^)
 
Been a while since I posted in one of these.

First off, gifted myself yesterday.

Took advantage of those sales PSN was having. Sogood.

And now, Christmas morning.

Mom got me some earrings. Yes, I love them; I am terribly girly about some things, I am a girl though, so... I guess that's okay.

Whatever. Moving on.

Generous grandmother is generous, as is tradition.

For those who aren't in the know, I have a collection of nutcrackers, one for each year I've been alive. This is number 30. I am one step closer to taking over the world with my Nutcracker Armada.

I knew these gifts were coming, but I was still very happy to unwrap them. Been looking forward to this game for a while, and the cards were great. Only one double (Pascal), and I even got one of my villagers (Gruff)! The card album is 'meh', but it'll work for now. May just go pick up a hardback trading card binder; it might work.

Was not expecting this game. I think I told my folks about how much fun I had playing Photo Finder, and they came to the conclusion I'd like this. They're right; I played a few minutes of it, and so far, feels like a really fun platformer. Can't wait to dive into it more.

I've wanted a Polaroid or some type of instant camera since I was a little kid, and now, I finally got one. Very stoked. The pictures are tiny, but that just makes them adorable to me. It also came with a carrying case, but the pictures were terrible, so no images, but it was purple as well.

Last gift, a Guess purse. Legit excited to show this off tomorrow. Again, I am terribly girly sometimes. Plus it fits both my 3DS and my Vita, which is nice.

Merry Christmas, GAF. I hope your Christmas is a good one. If you don't celebrate it, I hope you have a great day. Either way, this holiday season, remember that it's really not about the giving or the getting...

Xbox one elite controller and sims 4 for my 6yr old. Took her 5 min to make herself in the game. Merry Xmas everybody.

Casio ProTrek PRW-3000-7ER Mount Earnslaw (Titanium wristband) - i'm a sucker for digital watches and Casio (maybe Suunto) are the only ones providing good stuff with G-Shock and ProTrek models.

A few bits and pieces arriving over the last week - my Shovel Knight amiibo finally arriving from Amazon.de, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros and, as a nice freebie, a 2016 Zelda calendar. The Inside imagery isn't quite as attractive as the cover, unfortunately - but still nice to have:

As for Christmas gifts, just a couple of note for this thread - Assassin's Creed Syndicate (with SteelBook) and Randall Munroe's wonderful new book:

An Xbox Elite controller for a 6 year old? Awesome :) My 8 year old niece is a huge gamer too.

P.S. she's adorable!

Yeah the controller is for her... She loves it... She actually has her own halo one and this is daddy's controller to kick her ass in any game she decides she is good in.
 
A bit late posting this, but about two weeks ago I picked up a PS4 from costco when they had them for $279. I've pretty much been playing bloodborne every single day.

And with this I now have every current gen console/handheld.

Yeah I can *mostly* kick the shit out of my niece at Smash, but she's getting pretty good.

This is what I got her:

A few days before Christmas I found out she broke her 3DS. "What's wrong with it?" "It doesn't work." "It doesn't turn on?" "It turns on, I just can't use it." "Bring it here, maybe I can fix it." "I lost it." Hahaha. I may never get to the bottom of this. XD

I ended up getting her somethin' else and now I'm figuring out what to do with the Pokemon game. I might hold onto it in case that 3DS turns up and is fixable and/or we get her a new one.

Finally got around to getting a stick for PS4 it was time to retire my HRAP2 :( Played a bit of SFIVU today I am terrible it's been a while.

Huge Legend of Korra fan I didn't know the last art book was released a couple of months ago.

Pre-ordered TFA art book last week, after watching the movie really glad I did. The concept work in this book is super inspiring.
 
It was a good month for SHMUPs:



And I'm glad I waited to get this one! Caught it on sale:

Thanks for posting this! I already have Deathsmiles, but I'll have a lookout for the other games. They look pretty good after watching a few Youtube reviews.
 
Headed up to Tokyo from Okayama for the Christmas holiday. Managed to get myself up to Super Potato, which I am sure many of you guys have visited. Picked myself up some sweet goodies.

I also managed to get the new JoJo Eyes of Heaven title. I bloody love JoJo so got myself a Jotaro figure too.

Hey now, no need to apologize for being a girl. Ain't no one in here apologizing about their xbox controller purchases or something.

Where do you store all the nutcrackers?

I keep them in a series of boxes in our storage room. I dig them out once a year for December, and after Christmas, back they go. The armada usually lines the floor under our TV, but that had to change this year since we now have a dog; we were afraid she might see them as potential chew toys, and that would not be good.
 
Digital Purchases
- Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PS4)
- Dishonored: Definitive Edition (PS4)
- Rocket League (PS4)

- Bastion (PS4/PS Vita)
- Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational (PS Vita)
- Resogun (PS4/PS Vita)
- Uncharted: Golden Abyss (PS Vita)

I used the Amazon Black Friday deal where I got 30% off my pre-order of Uncharted 4, Horizon and Final Fantasy XV. I also just bought COD: BO3 and a 12 month PS Plus Membership which should be coming in the mail next week. Safe to say I'm not going to be buying anything for awhile.
 
Picked up my first car!

It's a 2016 Ford Fiesta Zetec White Editon. I absolutely love it. Feels great to finally have my own car considering I passed my test 4 years ago.

I just need one piece of advice. Leave the white inserts on the alloys in, or take them? I'm leaning towards taking them out so it's all black but I haven't made up my mind. Thoughts?

im normally not a fan of these sports versions of fiestas, but only seen red and black ones so far. the white looks killer imo.

also id say take the white bits out, they make it look like a toy car, all black rims would make it look more grown up if that makes sense

I think black rims are played out, leave the inserts.

2012 VW Scirocco R - this car is a beauty. Ive only seen a few (3 to be exact) on the roads in Australia which makes it feel rarer than a Ferarri when Im driving. Not sure if the US has this model ? The pictures does not do it justice & I need to learn to take photos. Must admit the back looks abit weird though.

Nice. I just picked up a viper green 2.0 TSI GT with engine remap a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't afford the R but it's the closest I could get. I love the look of them, even the fat butt. I guess I'm an ass man after all. I had an Audi A3 3.2 (R32 equivalent) before which was super quick but I found it hard to drive normally.
 
Last haul of the year.

PSX sale. Can't wait to get to this.

Black Friday pickups.

Decided to capitalize on some of the deals BB had going on during the month as it was about as cheap as some of these games are going to get.

I'm jelly. Hopefully that will be my first car in a year or two.
 
Picked this up yesterday at Toys "Я" Us:

-Batman v Superman Epic Strike Batmobile


All of the action figures were sadly sold out. All they had was the Batmobile. I might check out a different store soon to see if I can find anything else.
