Congrats on acquiring the T.V, looks great. Had a similar situation having lost the game to T.V switch, pulling the cables in and out made my mum wince. It was 4 years until I got my hands on it after a new one was bought.

I'm hearing things in music I've listened to countless times previously that I've never heard before.
They are fantastic.
I once played Halo Reach with them and I heard so much more!
That's cleverly done.2x Nexus 7 16gb for me and an 8gb for her(not pictured).
I picked up 2 watches! An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time with black dial and the limited edition Maharishi G-Shock
This first one will be one of my bigger pickups for a while. Here's a little unpacking:
Is google deceiving me, or is that really a 25 thousand dollar watch?
There's plenty of the 1% members here on GAF.
I once stopped posting in the pickup threads because I could not compete with the Ferraris.

I love that there is a thread for "look at all this shit we bought!".
I really should post something someday.

We should open a thread with a max price so we don't need to see all these luxury items!

Nice watch, slightly jealous.
pfft. The more the better, something to aim for.
I'm pretty jelly of that Masterpiece Grimlock. Been considering splurging for Soundwave
I pray that you never go to the setup threads.

Do it, man. Not only because Soundwave is all kinds of awesome but you'll be supporting a MP that isn't another Optimus or Seeker repaint.

That G-Shock is so sexy! :O
Haven't worn a watch for a few years, but always wore G-Shock when I did. Tempted to get a new one now!

Nice way to start the month 
Yeah, but the Japanese versions overpriced compared to the Toys R Us version if it's like Grimlock or Optimus. I just wish my TRU was better about getting them.
Guess I'll repost for the new thread.
Bobs burgers is such a surprisingly great show. Great buy!
Video Gaming is an inherently materialistic activity. Why wouldn't we have a thread like this!?!?

I just keep telling myself that these people are living with huge debt and then it makes it easier to sleep at night
Honestly the thread idea sounds douchey but I love looking at this thread because sometimes I discover stuff that I would totally purchase as well but prior to viewing the thread had no idea it existed.
Now that I'm out of school I might post some past pick-ups that I missed and my gaming room has been updated so I got get pics up of that as well
Yeah, Pick up threads are my absolute favorite, I love seeing what other people have bought, it's fun and sometimes I discover things on here I had no idea were around and I buy them myself, so I guess I owe you guys a thank you!
Anywho, my pickup for August so far:
Since we're in the Orlando Area, Walt Disney World Annual Premium passes! Woot

Not a bad way to start the month.
It was another one of those days at work where someone brought in a huge plastic bin of old PC/Mac/Playstation games. The first thing you should always do is go for the Jewel cases.

*oops* just figured out this is not gaming related... but so are those bike gloves that previously were posted..
delete if you dont care about plz
Don't worry about it. Stuff doesn't have to be strictly gaming related. If it's interesting, post it.

Niiiice! What spec did you pickup? I still have to take pictures of mine that I got on Monday
As for "The Wire" pickup, have you seen the show before? I remember trying to watch it a few years ago, but I couldn't get past the first episode or two. What is your opinion of it?
I see from your avatar that you also have fine taste with Heisenberg so maybe my TV viewing should try The Wire again?

Impulse buy, but $20 new was a nice price to give it a go.
Yeah that's a really awesome price on a great game.

Gnarly. Is that a speedometer in the upper left?

It's the base model Retina with upped memory to 16GB.
I haven't seen The Wire before, but reading through a shitload of LTTP threads in the OT with everyone saying how good it was got me interested. I'm about 5 or 6 episodes in the first season right now, and I definitely am enjoying it, maybe not to the extent that other people here are, but it is pretty awesome. Looking forward to watching more.
That's the power reserve.

It is hard to express how amazing The Wire is. Take it for what its worth but IMHO it was the best show on Television. There is a overarching plot line, each season also has its own story. the characters are extremely well written and the show has some dark humor to it as well.

As someone who has the retina macbook pro....not a single picture can do the screen justice...
my wife cried because she edited some photos and the prints didn't look anything like the screen...LOL
congrats on the pickup!
Got an Everdrive flash cart for Game Gear. It comes with only the PCB so I had to gut a game to use the cartridge case. I used Sonic Blast because fuck Sonic Blast.
The two Phantasy Star games are the games I'll be running on my Game Gear but patched in English. I didn't buy those this month but they're there to show I'm not a pirate.

Some odds and ends so far.
An old rotary phone for 1975. I like it. Some twit pulled out the ringer though so I guess I'll need to scrounge up one of those.
Decided to stop waiting for my landlord to replace my ceiling light and got this one in the As-Is department at Ikea. $60 down to $20 so I'll take it. Give the LL the receipt and I should make him pay me for my time installing it. Cheap ass.
Gears 3 finally. $10 used so I couldn't turn it down.
