Genuinely curious: Is it standard with soccer jerseys to buy the jersey and patches/name plate separately and put them on yourself?

Stuff from Jan that I can show off today
All this
Love Gigabyte. Have been using their cards and boards for several years and never had a bit of trouble.

You can either buy the jersey with the name plate/patches already on (which I've seen mostly on online websites) or you can buy it separately (which is what I usually do) from the jersey. The few times I've seen a jersey with a name plate on it already in-store, it never has the patches on it so you'd have to order it.
Here are my pickups for January
I technically picked up DayZ on launch day at the end of December, but I've been playing it so much might as well keep the train rolling.
You caved on waiting for them on PC huh?
Found a LOT of games this week. especially on Saturday morning:
The NES game above is Super Block Ball for the power glove. I'm gonna have to get me one of those one day. The Chicago Syndicate is a spinoff game of Eternal Champions.
It's nice to find a sealed brand new Gamecube controller. That Scart adapter might come in handy one day.
Magic Pengel is a somewhat obscure pokemon-ish game for the PS2 where you create your own custom drawn monsters and fight with them. The package of DVD's was a great deal. There were a bunch of sports games, but it also included SSX3, Star Wars Battlefield II, NFS Carbon and Medal of Honor Frontline. not a bad deal. It was 19 discs in all.
Starting up a small PSP collection. This gamestop still had some in stock.
Speaking of great deals. Mega Man V for the Gameboy for only $15 and it was sitting on the shelf for more than a week. I now have 2 copies of this game and I'll probably be trading one sometime in the future. Eternal Champions was only 2$ which is about as much as I'd want to spend on it.

My first pick up thread post ever!
Picked up these beauties <3. Excuse the crappy quality. Phone camera
Surface Pro 128GB + Type Cover 2
So glad I got this. My iPad 2 just felt way too restricting. I had to resort to Dropbox for file management and constantly converting Word documents to Pages documents and vice versa kept ruining my work. Having full Windows 8.1 on a tablet is really amazing, and so is the Type Cover.
Best of all? I got super lucky and managed to buy it for 393 euro because they made a mistake twice when I bought it. I was supposed to get it for 496 instead of 600 because of Mediamarkt tax free days (17% off). They forgot to change the price in the store though, so I approached someone and they fixed it. But the guy made a mistake and made it 469 instead of 496. Then I went to pay for the thing and the register added another 17% off LOL. It was a great day.
GB Micro + Zelda ALttP + Metroid Fusion (and Luigi diorama)
Also managed to grab these. The GB Micro was never taken out of the box, everything was in its original seal. So not a single scratch! Metroid was in super good condition, only downside is that the original retailer put some stickers on the back. Zelda was 100% mint, I don't think it was ever taken out of the box. Paid 120 euro for the entire lot, excluding the Luigi diorama that I got from Club Nintendo. I think I got extremely lucky with this deal.
So yeah, February is a good month

Boom! Right in the childhood! Though it's not as impressive as some of the "retro" pick-ups featured all over GAF, this is the exact version of the first console I have ever owned in my life (the Sonic 2 pack) with all of the games I used to own (except for Boogerman which I could not find). Somehow I managed to lose track of both the console and all the games throughout the years, and I felt now is as good a time as any to right that wrong.
As soon as I've had my coffee, I shall be hooking it up to see if my gaming skills have improved in the last ten years.
Quite a bit of random stuff this past week:
Started playing E.X. Troopers last night and ended up playing for 4 hours straight till 3 AM.
Really fun game. Bit heavy on the story and the first hour of tutorials really drags on, but once past that, the game is a blast and dare I say, the real Lost Planet 3.
Some movies as well.
Couldn't ignore the better transfer of Ghostbusters, even though I own the movie so many times already.

Yes I do have Lost Planet 3 as well, but haven't unwrapped it yet. ;P

I enjoyed Mark of Kri and Katamari

Katamari is amazing, tried that out last night and was both perturbed and immersed beyond belief. The music is eargasmic!
Also tried Mark of Kri....not my cup of tea, the artstyle didn't jive with me in particular.
It was 199 when I wentThank you Kmart (only was $35)!

GF found this at the local asian market.
Okay guys, I'm ECSTATIC. I've had a 32" Sharp Aquos 720p TV for six years now. It's served me well, but it's got really bad image retention now, contrast and color isn't that great, and 720p feels like a massive drawback now, having a PS4. Yesterday I bought a 2014 (edit: apparently it's a 2013, actually) E-Series 42" Vizio Smart TV. GUYS. I know it's not the highest end, but IT'S AMAZING. I'm blown away by it. 1080p, local dimming with a full backlight array for even lighting and nice black levels and contrast, .4 inch bezel, 120hz, etc. FOR FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS.
I don't know, maybe it's just because I've had that old TV for so long, but I'm so happy right now.

I LOVED EX Troopers. I was so shocked at how good it was. Very easy game, but it was just such a blast to play.

That center channel blocking a part of the lower part of the screen doesn't bother you?
I'm trying to figure out a spot for it. It wasn't in the way on my old TV because it sat higher, but yeah, I need to figure out what to do with it.
Thank you Kmart (only was $35)!
How?
KMart had a glitch earlier where you could place a pick up order on a pink 3DS XL for only $35 (of course, the deal is dead now)

Nice man. I have that exact TV and it's awesome. I just bought it with my PS4 back in November. Enjoy!
