Haven't gotten around to watching this yet but looking forward to it!

Had to order this , no place in my area carries them. Opened it up and gave it try yesterday. Absolutely loved the flavor but ,while it does have a kick to it , it is no where near as bad as the people on Youtube would have you believe especially if you're used to spicy food.

Jury still out on this for me...It's missing some apps like Epix and Starz which I think is kind of a bummer . Also, some of the apps do have weird issues like after watching twitch for a while my following list disappears or if someone plays an ad during the stream it will disconnect me .

$10 bucks and a nice mixer

Winter is coming...maybe..it's been in the mid 40s up till yesterday so who knows..

I actually got this Cyber Monday but didn't get it till Dec. 2 so that still counts right?

[Qasiel]

My laptop died on me last month so I figured I'd pick up a new one in the Black Friday sales so although I've probably had this for just over a week or so, I'm super stoked that I get to play Overwatch when things are quiet at work on night shifts (much like tonight)

the 570 and Core2Quad served me for 6 years, it was time

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Completely forgot I even ordered these let alone it being delivered on a Sunday...

Finally starting my collection of Transformers..had them as a kid but the quality of then vs. now is insane ..so my first one are the Stunticons. I heard out of all of them this is the worst one so thought I'd start here ...it was on sale also.Next is either Combaticons or Aerial Bots..

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Picked up SONOS Play 5.

Was really impressed with SONOS Play 1.

 

[kinezu]

Finally they were released as retail versions in Europe!

 

[Mokubba]

One of my favourite steel books.

Come on and Slam and Welcome to the Jam!

 

[batrush]

all for the month I think

 

[JEKKI]

I got this cool book! I dont know what it's about, but I got it now!

that frisbee is so cool

you're so cool!

 

[grap3fruitman]

PS4 Pro (only $290 plus tax), Last Guardian and... a Shiba Inu puppy! Name's Ammy - like in Okami. Being named after a sun goddess appealed to the girlfriend.

Very cool dog above me

you're so cool!

Awesome banana dude!!!

 

[Justinh]

Got some replacement buttons for my favorite stick (I just wanted the rims). It was just to "fix" a small nitpicky thing about it that bothered me a little bit for a long time, but I've been too lazy to actually take care of.

(before)

Got some Tshirts. I'm a fan of SIFTD. My favorite is the one that reminds me of the best Gamecube color...

...what they look like on the back (they're all the same, just different color).

Got Dead Rising 4 too. It was behind a Deadpool sticker at Walmart, and when the lady helped me get it I told her "I know that's not the right price, but I want it anyways." She said okay, and when she rang it up, changed the price to Deadpool's price anyways, so I got it for 29.83! Score!

edit: is banana for scale some kind of meme or something? I saw it on a picture on an Amazon listing for something completely un-banana related that said "banana for scale, not included." I'm not complaining or anything, just curious, lol...

Eschatos arrived from Japan after getting hooked on Ginga Force.

Isn't that game like... pretty expensive? I had to make do with the steam version.

Speaking of pretty expensive. I can't not keep staring at MotW in the background in each of those. Good job at making me feel jealous, lol...

 

[meppi]

Finally they were released as retail versions in Europe!

Holy shit! I had no idea. I imported them from Canada...

I was looking for a more interesting and colourful background then yet another wooden floor or table to grab shots of my new pickups.
This certainly looks a little nicer I think.

*edit: Modified the pictures due to the bitching later in the thread. If these pick-ups are still too much of a brag, let me know and I'll blur out the rest of the image as well.

Finally got Dragon Quest Builders from Heavy-Arm

Eschatos arrived from Japan after getting hooked on Ginga Force.

Picked these two up as they seem to be going out of print rather quickly.

And some LRG goodness as well as Geometry Wars 3 which is way too hard to get a hold of over here...

I first noticed it in the DIY reddit posts. To show scale since most bananas are the same size it gives you an idea how big things are. I imagine it spawned there but no idea.

 

[SuperÑ]

Very cool doge above me

I fixed that for you

 

[jbueno]

Speaking of pretty expensive. I can't not keep staring at MotW in the background in each of those. Good job at making me feel jealous, lol...

Metal Slug 1, 3, Shock Troopers 2, Blazing Star, too. Big big bucks.

Metal Slug 1, 3, Shock Troopers 2, Blazing Star, too. Big big bucks.

Got it for a good price though. Payed 54 € for Eschatos.

MS1, Shock Troopers 2 and Blazing Star are conversions though. I'm not that rich.
Still conversions with all original parts, so they weren't cheap either...
Wasn't planning on getting many conversions, just the one I really wanted and didn't get a home release like Puzzle de Pon and Puzzle de Pon R, Shock Troopers 1,Strikers 1945 Plus and Money Idol Exchangers.
But when you see how crazy the prices for certain home versions are, I just couldn't justify that and went with a reliable person who did these.
Only flashed ROM I got is Ghost Lop as it wasn't officially released.
Wish I had the money to keep collecting Neo Geo stuff right now though...

 

[Celcius]

Come on and Slam and Welcome to the Jam!

I know you've got Space Jams, but how many shoes is that in the background? @_@

 

[Justinh]

Oh. Thanks. I was actually thinking about it recently and just wondering what the hell?

That doesn't seem so bad, some of those 360 shmups seem to go for a lot of money for the original Japanese copies. Kinda sucks that not all of them are region free.

Even if they are "just conversions," a collection of NeoGeo games will always seem just... magical to me. Especially Mark of the Wolves. I'm even upset that I lost my case for Mark of the Wolves for the lowly Dreamcast version years ago (I think my parents threw it out when I moved away. My fault for leaving it there). At least I still have the game I guess.

Yeah, prices certainly have shot up over the past few years.
Luckily I have nearly all the shoot em ups on the system, only missing a couple.
Ended up having to buy a JP 360 as well as it's my favourite genre and there were enough brilliant shooters that were Japan exclusives.

I always wanted a Neo Geo, ever since playing Last Resort in some little shop in 92 or 93.
It took me till 2003 before I was finally able to buy my own.
I have 15 conversions in total out of 42 games, 9 of those being games that never came out on the home system. The rest, like Garou, Metal Slug 3,5, etc are all original Japanese copies.
I don't know what it is, but even after all these years it still feels special to put in one of those big carts and play a couple of hours.

My dream is to have an arcade cabinet in my home in a couple of years. But that will have to be with emulation even though I never liked that. I just can't go and start collecting arcade boards. Storage alone would be a disaster, even though I'd love to be able to do just that.

Metal Slug 1, 3, Shock Troopers 2, Blazing Star, too. Big big bucks.

Yeah, I'm sure there wasn't any other place to take those pics - very lame stealth brag.

Cry me a river.

Cry me a river.

I have all those games so I couldn't care less on that front. Only point was that if he wants to brag, fine, but just do it and own it then.

Do not CRITICIZE other people's pick ups. This is a friendly thread. No need for insults!

[Bar81]

...

Those aren't his pickups are they. I'm within the rule.

 

[meppi]

Those aren't his pickups are they. I'm within the rule.

Well I can take plenty of pictures with other shit in the back if this annoys you that much.

There are quite a few people who take pictures with their game shelves in the back, so why all of a sudden mine got your panties in a bunch, I don't know.

Ignore him. I, for one, love seeing game shelves in the background!

Sorry. It's a bit late now.

 

[Justinh]

It's still meant to be a friendly thread. I don't know why you're giving him grief for "stealth bragging" in a show-n-tell thread.

 

[meppi]

Just received the following two in the mail as well.

Hopefully this setup will be more pleasing to some...

 

[Glassboy]

Yeah, I'm sure there wasn't any other place to take those pics - very lame stealth brag.

Lol the whole point of this thread is to basically brag.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Lol the whole point of this thread is to basically brag.

Yea that was just plain stupid. I love these threads specifically for the stealth brag posts, I love to see what gaffers pick up. It's porn for gaming, sneakers and even apartments and homes. Keep em coming Gaf.

And on that note, I picked up TLG thanks to BB Visa checkout promotion. Nier Automata was the other game.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Got my MH4G faceplate from glorious Nippon. This is my favourite so far thanks to the matte surface. Glossy faceplates scratch very easily in my experience.

and FFX.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Finally found and bought my favorite Batman movies of all time.

 

[betawi]

It's been an expensive month for me.

New launch 60 GB PS3
I had the same model I bought not long after launch, which broke last year due to YLOD. This model has sentimental value to me.

Some physical games

Monster Hunter 3DS grip
This thing is large and expensive, but very comfortable to use. I think it's worth it.

Oculus Touch
If you have the Rift, you gotta get the Touch
