NeoGAF DECEMBER 2016 Pick-Up Post! Show Us Your Gaming Goods + MORE (REAL PICS ONLY)!

HAPPY 10 YEARS NEOGAF! Last month, we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of this thread! Here's to many more!

Dear NeoGAF,

November 2016 marked the 10 year anniversary of the NeoGAF Pick-Up Post Thread! I remember when I first started this concept ten years ago. How much have you grown since then? Over this past ten years my life has changed completely (for the better) and I am truly grateful for gaming playing such a big part of my life.

I hope and wish the same for everyone else reading this thread. These threads have chronicled the past ten years of our gaming purchases. Let's celebrate with more months and years to come. Cheers!

AND THEN... THERE WERE TWO.

1 month left in 2016. Is your wallet ready? Are you done shopping?

Welcome back to the stage of history. As mentioned... This year (2016) marks the 10 year anniversary of this thread (November). Time flies when you're gaming. Let's enjoy it and succeed together!

In typical new month fashion, let's reflect on the previous month and post our favorite pick-ups from Nov. 2016. As we go through Dec. 2016, let's post our latest pick-ups as well! Take care everyone!

Your Neighborhood Friendly,
MarkMan

MarkMan, can you post a picture of your closet? How many pairs of sneakers do you have? Damn it, I can only dream LOL.

Also, how big is your house? you buy and get for free so much stuff that you should have a huge and awesome mancave

My closet is not interesting. I keep everything all over the house lol. I have over 200+ pairs of sneakers. My gaming/arcade stick stuff is crazier, IMO.
 
First criterion sale.




including the very beautiful Del Toro trilogy. It includes a thick little book with a writeup on each movie.


My first handheld purchase since 2009. 99 dollars for the win.

Geez, man. That thing looks so, so... wonderful...

Wow, I didn't know this existed. It makes me glad I never bought the Chronos disc now, this set looks pretty great! I didn't know Pan's Labyrinth got a Criterion release either. That's definitely one I want!
 
Ready to make the move to Project Fi. Will be glad to be done with Verizon.

Went with the 128GB Black Pixel XL. Didn't want to be stuck wanting more storage down the road.
 
Forgot about the November thread, so I'll just post from last month. Any more I scoop up for this month I'll add here as well

Traded in the O.G to pick this mug up:

Caught Link on sale and happened to stumble upon Mario. Not really a Bulls fan but I dig the colors black and red so I said why not. The crown glory of November of course stands behind and center:

I didn't even know Dragon Quest Monsters came out on the PSone. I always thought it was a portable only series on GB and DS...
Can't wait for your copy of Ore no Ryouri to arrive and see what you think about it. :)

My pickups this month.



Fell back in love with fighting games so things got a bit crazy the past couple of weeks...


These were ordered even before the MvC4 speculation. ;)


And I got frustrated with my Street Fighter 4 TE stick being very flakey with registering inputs, so I did this as well.


Brilliant stick and certainly my favourite pick up this month.
Of all the sticks I have, original as well as modded, this one seems to quickly become my favourite. :D
All 7kgs of it!

No sign of it yet. Maybe next week.

Nope, Japan got them on PS1 as well, and I think DQM on PS1 looks great too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KajfVXacbRw
Got it for a good price off eBay.

That stick looks slick. ;-)

Didn't know there was an NBA Jam on PS3. Now I want it! :-)

Edit: thanks for pointing me to that WRC 5 deal, btw. ;-)
 
First post in this thread! Been watching you guys from the shadows for over a year, my gaf account got activated so I figured I should step into the light :P

Last weekend I went to a smallish Japan culture festival thingy, picked up some goodies

My birthday haul. That tube thing is a reallyyy nice map of Thedas from my favourite game series ever - Dragon Age.

Also, advent calander!

Sorry if the pics are a bit blurry, used a potato phone camera
 
Finally built my first windowed PC. Took quite a while to get it all clean but in the end it turned out pretty nice (just need to replace the cables to the front SSD with all black cables and I should be set):

I hope you get it soon!
Like I said before it's without a doubt one of my favourite games on the system.
Incredibly original, wacky and plays like a dream. Very addictive too. :)

No problem. ;)

I'm loving this stick. Been playing a ton of Darius Burst this afternoon.
It's quite heavy but so comfortable. It doesn't move an inch. And the responsiveness is top notch. Easily as good as the ones I modded myself with Sanwa parts. :)
Found some info on the old stick that supposedly used Sanwa parts from the get go, but it seems that a lot of fake parts were used.
Not sure how reliable that info is, but it would certainly explain my own findings and displeasure with a premium priced product like that. Well, at least that one came in a nice box. ;P

Guess I won't be buying anything but Hori from here on out. Never been let down by them.
It's PS3 compatible as well with a switch, so if you're ever in the market for one, you can't go wrong with this one. It's extremely easy to open and pop in a new botton or so in case one breaks down in what I presume will be years from now.

I believe NBA Jam on PS3 was only supposed to be a digital release, but somehow later got a retail version as well.
There was an updated version: NBA Jam on fire edition, but that ended up being digital only it seems.
 
I've not posted here in a little while, so have a fair amount to include now...

Starting with PS4, Dshonored 2 Collector's Edition, then Battlefield Hardline, CoD Infinite Warfare: Legacy Edition, Titanfall 2, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Deluxe Edition (SteelBook) and Street Fighter V (SteelBook):

On Xbox One, Forza Horizons 3 and Gears of War 4, alongside The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GotY Edition, bought slightly early in readiness of backwards compatibility:

Pokemon Moon and Metroid Prime: Federation Force on 3DS:

Then a discounted Steam Link:

And finally, the first new amiibo for me for a while, but well, being Zelda, there was never any question over whether I'd be getting these!

Got this because the 2tb HDD I bought a while back seemed to have some problems that affected some game's performance :\

gb boy colour. this is a Chinese clone of the original gb boy color. amazing. the screen is back lit, bright and nice, way better than the original. can play any gameboy games, and comes with 66 games in the built in memory. that goes really nice with my original gameboy color, which its screen always sucked

Thank you so much!! On launch day, I was checking a bunch of Japanese unboxing videos just to confirm what was on the inside, but in not a single video did they take the disc out! Glad to finally see the reverse cover. I'll be doing the same!
