Support NeoGAF

[Loxley]

So, I'm home from college for nearly a month and only had room to bring either my PS3 or my 360 back with me. I opted for the PS3 since I wanted to watch some shiny blu-rays over the break. What happens one week in? It bricks on me.

So here I am, stranded at home with my PC in the process of being repaired from its hard drive dying two weeks ago (so playing games on that is out of the picture for the moment) and I'm itching to play something. Then my dad brings home a box of old stuff from one of our rented storage sheds we're in the process of cleaning out, and in it I find this:



This pic was taken after I gave all of it a serious cleaning and scrub-down, everything looked pretty disgusting after collecting dust for nearly decade, but man was I happy to see it. The only thing missing was the AV cable, so I went to Amazon and grabbed one for cheap, should get here by Wednesday.

The only games I'm missing that I wouldn't mind revisiting are Turok, Wave Race, and Blast Corps. Either way, I'm pretty excited about playing all of these again after so long (specifically Starfox, Rogue Squadron and Spider-Man, which were my favorites when I was a kid). I may actually try and beat Majora's Mask, which frustrated me to no end back in '99 so I sort of just gave up on it.

Also got a large-ish Ezio figure.

Bare with me... This is quite alot of stuff... Combination of a few months of college where I was to busy to post pics, black friday, and the holidays =)

PS3 games - Super excited for all of these. Pretty much everything I wanted to get. So far I've only played uncharted 3, and it was quite excellent.

3DS games - Tripled my number of 3ds games during the holidays. Two of my goty are from this lot.

DS games

Wii games

ps2 games

psx

Christmas haul!

Ate them for breakfast Christmas morning.

Then I had a cup of tea in this! My GF's parents got it me with a few other bits and bobs:

Then to top off a day of eating I drank this. Might not be a big deal to most of GAF but living in the UK I've never tasted this stuff before! It was nice.

And here is my haul:

The thing which says Genie on it in a tube is a head scratcher. It's immense.

Not pictured - various gift cards and a bit of money.

Also, some clothes and candies, that aren't on the pictures.

 

[Kalnos]

Some quick and cheap pick-ups. After these I'm only missing a few important RPGs on the SNES... Evo & Ogre Battle off the top of my head. Still quite a few games left to get though.

 

[Dibbz]

Just got these 3 games for myself. Got them for about £7 each. Shopping like it's 2010, yeah.

December pick ups!

Shout outs to local bookstores.

[inner-G]

Merry Christmas to me!

 

[Hagi]

Pretty nice month, got some new clothes for Christmas. BF got me that cat hoodie, finally I have a jacket that fits me well and isn't over-sized. Also had a couple of packages from 3A, picked up the limited Xmas Tomorrow Queen Lolli and bought Bleak Mission with his dog Custard. Picked up the 4th Humble Bundle too.

Awesome really like the look of Bleak Mission and Custard saw the set going for £150 might snag it seeing i can't find any tomorrow kings.

 

[jbueno]

i am glad to see some good stuff again from Gaf's members!

December has been good to me as well.

FAP FAP FAP. For the Neo stuff of course. Though that MGSTS cover is nice.

Bleak and Custard are quite a pair, the little cigars he comes with are a nice touch. 3A just recently sold a Tomorrow King on their store mid-december for $120 w/free shipping. That drop night was quite fun haha

My Boxing Day Haul! Sorry for the crappy images.

Star Fox 64 3D - $22 (With Tax)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/Breen/IMG_0254.jpg

Was it on clearance/sale at your local Sears or something tag still shows 40 bucks? Just got a 3DS and would totally pick up Star Fox at 22 bucks. Shame we don't have boxing day stuff down in the south.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

Wow, thanks for the love on my pick ups. I've heard nothing but great things about Ace Combat Zero so Im really looking forward to playing it.

Pickups and Bdubs gift card from my sister for Christmas

Motherfucking B Dub, bitch. Fuck yes!

So jealous. Best pick up in this thread. Fuck new TVs, babies and wedding rings. This is it right here.

 

[Quake1028]

Christmas haul. White box is the Galaxy Nexus I picked up on release date. Box above that is the case for it.

 

[SolarKnight]

Just got this with Christmas money, so I guess it counts as Christmas loot too.

I was worried it'd be gone since I saw it at the store one month ago, but not only was it still there, they still had another copy left.

 

[MidnightScott]

xmas vid games.

Congrats on Lautrec, it's wonderful

 

[Auron_Kale]

Combo Birthday/Christmas pick-ups coming up:

Bonus (Got these for $30 at Urban Outfitters):

 

[FStop7]

I'm a little surprised at the relative lack of Christmas Vitas, I thought there would have been at least a few.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Will post pictures of the build later. Graphics card is an HD 5970 and case is an Arc Midi.

how you likin them urbanears?

 

[Auron_Kale]

how you likin them urbanears?

I mostly wanted them because I need to order another pair of IEMs for my phone (lost my second pair pfffft) and these also have a mic and remote.

Sounds pretty good from the really quick listen I just had, but I'll probably have a better opinion when I use them for my commute tomorrow.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Will post pictures of the build later. Graphics card is an HD 5970 and case is an Arc Midi.

Wow, should be a beast of a system!

I imagine you're keeping the 5970 from a previous build? Any desire to upgrade that, too?

Gah, I don't know if I'll be able to resist upgrading my i7 930/GTX570 build this year...

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

I wanted to get one for my son as he is big fan of Lego but unfortunately he can barely understand english

 

[Zwei]

I like your style

 

[Sevket-Erhat]

I have told my cousin in US to bring me one as well

 

[Auron_Kale]

Shame as it's a really colorful book filled with big pictures of the figures as well as nice information regarding variations on the minifigs that have been released.

You should get it and keep it on hand for him to read in the future.

 

[dantehemi]

Love the new Jays hat, Need to get me one of those.

I have a replica 93 world series hat I picked up at new era Toronto last month, it's amazing how close the logo is (minus the baseball) I love the world series logo on the side of mine

I know. The book store had several Lego themed books like this. I might buy one for him when I go to Istanbul next time

 

[Sora_N]

$5 each, didn't see anything else good today. Pretty fail for a Boxing Day this year.

 

[Spike]
