AT&T was generous and sent me a second Apple TV for my Now subscription.

New Fire Stick with 802.11ac for the shop. A bit speedier, I suppose. Still the same annoyances.
 
Yeah, I'm sure there wasn't any other place to take those pics - very lame stealth brag.

Grow up. People love to see shelves, sets, collections, ... It's part of collecting: to want stuff you know is out there, that other people have, etc.

Just received the following two in the mail as well.

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

What?! Your house has a roof?! Nice stealth brag, dude!

Alright allright, I'll blur out the roof. Sheesh...

Lol ;)
It would be something if my house looked like that didn't it?
It's taken in the shed outside. ;)
 
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.

That 60GB PS3

My unit bit the dust last year and I got a slim but I still have my old unit. I became a "gamer" during that gen. Awesome console and good pickup.

The last of the Blu-rays I ordered on Black Friday.

Regular and Limited Edition Art of Metal Gear Solid V. Absolutely love the art.

I almost never buy clothes, but these shirts were too cool to pass up.

That still is my favourite PS3 model even though I don't own one anymore.
Sold it when I bought a slim to replace it and bought a superslim as a spare system.
The regular slim is fine while the latest one looks and feels super cheap.
But the original model was pure class.

Anyway, really glad I was able to get a copy of this as it seems to be quite hard to find even though it's only been released a couple weeks ago.
Loved it to bits on my Japanese n3DSXL so I wanted to go through it all again when it came to Europe:
Picross 3D Round 2. Certainly one of my favourites of the year.

 
My first pair of Jordan 11's, Space Jams:

So I was lucky enough to get a pair, and when they arrived I showed them to my wife and she said I couldn't pull them off. I was probably going to sell/return them anyway and pay a little extra for White Cement 4s because I've always wanted those.
 
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.

You know its funny you mention this. Me and my best friend are huge on spicy food and one time we were hanging out at the dorms with a dude who has a Korean girlfriend and some dudes from Turkey. The Korean girl got this package from her family and had these very spicy noodles she decided to make for us. We tried them and they were absolutely delightful probably one of the best noodles I've tried. However, the Turkish guys only had one bite and they couldn't handle it, one was crying uncontrollably and another got sick the next day. It was hilarious haha....but yeah they are really good.
 
I know you've got Space Jams, but how many shoes is that in the background? @_@

Around 90 and congrats on getting a pair too.
These are my first pair of XI's too and couldn't be happier.

If I had to pick one, it would be the Cement 4's too but the Space Jams are special.
I don't think they're too flashy either so pulling it off shouldn't be hard.
 
Got me a pop filter:
31552445331_56caf53058_z.jpg


now to stare at it, never use it, and not care that it was a waste cause it was only $9

what is it attached to? I don't know if I can stick mine on the yeti, i have my old desktop mic stand and stick the popfilter on that and awkwardly wrap it in front of the yeti
 
Don't have to worry about harsh P sounds any longer though!
that's true

I had it attached to the back when I took that picture but it wasn't secure there. I currently have it on the side:

seems more secure in this config.
 
This finally came in today. I ordered it like... 5 weeks ago? They sent a steam key right when I ordered it back in early November though, so at least I could've played it like... immediately after buying it.

Shadow Warrior 2: Special Reserve Edition. Comes with artbook, Soundtrack CD, game DVD (appears to still require steam though...) and some stickers.
Unfortunately for me, I'm not too much a fan of the game. I really liked the first one, especially the world and mythology stuff they had going on with it and all, but I just don't enjoy playing this one. I wish it was just a straight-through linear ass linear campaign shooter. I think I'm still glad I bought this though.

A friend of mine who thinks Popeye's spicy chicken is hot asked me if he should try this..I don't know what to tell him..lol
 
Is that the new Oppo 4K player? Nice! How do you like it?

I absolutely love it. Tons of options for how you want the video delivered. Correctly output various bit rates, the extended information menu is amazing down to what nits the bluray is mastered at.

Nice and quite, smooth drive. This is my 3rd Oppo blue ray player. Had a 93, 103D ( in bedroom) and now this in the living room.

Amazing product. It's a little pricey but well worth it imho. So glad I don't have to use the trash Samsung anymore. After having it shows just how bad the Samsung really was.
 
I was waiting for the last batch of N64 games to arrive to make this post but i'm tired of waiting for them. So here are the games that I got in December for now:

This is the second year that I buy an 8 Bit Xmas cart and I hope to play it this time since it's a pinball game. I'm also enjoying The Last Guardian a lot.

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

Brand now launch model??

WOW how much? Was it sealed?
 
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.

Yeah don't listen to him, part of the reason I visit this thread is so I can see lots of cool shit like your collection.

Big Sega & Mega Man fan.



Traded a few more common and rarely played games for these. I just need MM X3, Soccer, and 7.



Recently ordered the RetroUSB AVS. Hoping to get it before Christmas! The wireless controllers from 8bitdo will go well with it. I wished I had known about them before I got the wireless Super Famicom controller.

I keep thinking about starting a NES collection. For some reason your post made me want to do it 10x more.
 
lol im doing a video blog on getting these things up running and restored. Just posted part 1 and 2 this evening.

Well you win the thread, no questions asked! :D

Picked up a couple of rather unremarkable games.


As well as these two beauties which I've been wanting for a long time now!
Super happy with these pickups. :)

That's Ge-Sen Love Plus Pengo! Limited Edition and Bullet Soul Infinite Burst btw.

 
Time to delve into Lynch. Never seen any of these movies, with the exception of Fire Walk With me.
Also really looking forward to watching the twelve short-movies included on the bonus-disc.

Won a MUTE Headset by Teufel. They're pretty great and really block out a lot of background noise.
I still use my Sennheiser headphone for music but I enjoy using these while playing (portable) video-games or when it's noisy outside.
They're doing demolition and construction work across the street, so great timing.

Far Cry Primal finally arrived and it's got one weird story behind it.
I purchased the game's collector's edition about a month ago through the Ubi Store, along with some digital Rayman games.
Received an order confirmation, but it didn't include Far Cry Primal. So I called to Ubisoft and they agreed that €2,49 + €2,49 + €2,49 didn't equal €32. Apparently something went wrong on their end and the purchase didn't register.

Weeks, and a lot of phonecalls, went by until I finally received a package from Ubisoft last week.
It included some stuff I didn't order; A T-Shirt that's way too small, gross candy and the steelbook for Far Cry 4, which I don't own.
Called about that and it appears they've been giving those things away to everyone to clear they're warehouse. Fine. Nice, even.
Only issue: the package includeded the game's "Special" Edition, not the Collector's I purchased.
They apologized for the inconvenience and promised to send me the remaining content.

Received a call yesterday saying they're sorry about the inconvenience but that they don't have any Collector's Editions left in any of they're warehouses. It shouldn't even have been available on the website. Wrong product-code.
A total refund won't be possible as the game's been unsealed. (my fault, I know)
They did give me €5, the difference between the Special and Collector's Edition during the sale, and 100 U-Play Points which I can use for a 20% off voucher the next time I purchase something at the Ubi Store.
I don't think I will anytime soon.

Strange experience. Such a shame, that CE looked pretty.

Loving FF XV. I still don't know how I feel about the battle-system, though.

That's a lot of text! My apologies for my poor English grammar. Writing it is a lot more challenging then reading. I'm sure i've confused they're and their a couple of times. Again.
 
Ordered the Final Fantasy XV Collectors Edition Soundtrack and it turned up today!







Now I just need a Blu Ray Drive to get the songs off of it!

Lovely packaging though.
Awesome! It should have come with something to download the mp3 versions I think. Or are you just trying to get it lossless?

I just got these today. Apple AirPods (2 pairs)

These right here are awesome for anyone who has issues with regular EarPods falling out.

Totally worth the price.
