Disney Infinity The Force Awakens Playset
I've never actually collected Disney Infinity figures before (or Amiibos for that matter) and don't really intend to start this as a gateway into that world. But I really enjoyed The Force Awakens so seeing this on sale for $20 at Best Buy and knowing these figures include a code to play a game based on TFA piqued my interest. The figures are actually quite well made (Finn's face seems a tad too angry in his pose but Rey looks great) and they fit in quite nicely on a desk or other place of display.
When Breath Becomes Air
New book that was already recommended to me by quite a few people. Essentially the story of a Neurosurgery Resident finding out he has Stage IV Lung Cancer, recounting his life, and his continued pursuit to uncover its meaning. I'm oversimplifying the story, but to me, the book is fascinating not just because of the premise and the terrible ordeal the Author goes through (the doctor becoming the patient) but also because Dr. Kalinithi is an excellent writer. The story also goes through a bit of his background, and his interest in both writing and Medicine is what makes the book work so well.
Gorgeous set up dude, congrats!
Not really game related but surprising pick up, mc chris started his new tour here in Fresno. Last time he came I got a picture with him on stage and he remembered me and said that we can do it again!

Best flea market find in awhile. All are sealed except the pizza thrower but it's brand new in the box. Still zip tied in and everything. May flip them and keep the Van for nostalgias sake though I did love that blimp as a kid.
Wow, very awesome finds. I still love the art that were on those boxes.
yeah the art is probably second best to the he-man stuff which always was the best to me.

Holy crap, you found those sealed at a god damn flea market?!?!
I only had the van as a kid and used to stare at the ads for the others dreaming of owning them one day. Those toys were magical back then.

I finally got one. I'm getting it in anticipation of Yakuza 0, but I had some money saved up and decided to get it now. Got rid of COD since I am not a fan of the game and will be picking up Gravity Rush. Also got DOA 5 Last Round for the heck of it.
How do you like the pencil? I just ordered an iPad Pro and pencil. Wont be here for a couple more days, though.

I don't really draw, but it's nice for note taking when you want to write something down. It's also a super comfy stylus. It's battery lasts a good while, and if you leave it still for a few minutes it powers off and disconnects from the iPad Bluetooth and when you move it or pick it up it re connects.
Thank you. Ordered!!!. 12 bucks total shipped to the states. Bargain.

A few more pickups this month. Wanted to start collecting some vinyl records so I'm starting out with these. Now I'm on the hunt for a record player and speakers.
I also picked up a Dreamcast in good condition with 2 controllers + VMUs. I had one in high-school but sold it so its nice to get one again. But man, some of the popular games are selling for quite a lot at retro game stores and eBay
Anybody know of any other places to get decently-priced DC stuff?

Steam Controller has been mostly fine so far. I do have an Xbone controller as well, so anything with native support I just go that route(ie. I haven't bothered using it with RoTR or Dragon's Dogma).
However, games like Pillars of Eternity, Dragon Age Origins, Civ V, Shadowrun, Witcher 1, and other similar titles actually perform quite well with it. There is a lot of fiddling with sensitivities and adjusting popular configs to my liking, but I find that process kind of fun. Though, I do occasionally find myself just going M/KB on some gaming sessions for those. The Steam Controller is like a goofy toy to mess with moreso than actively improving the experience(Witcher 1 excepted as it is a MASSIVE improvement there).

New floor. Ripped out the dumb dirty green carpet and replaced it with this stuff. Its a wood grain looking vinyl thats also waterproof. Having dogs and a kid makes carpet fuckin nasty in no time.
Sent the wife to get me a clamp so I could clamp things. This is why you facetime when the other person goes to the damn store. I guess I could build a decent doll house for my daughter using this.
The speaker and 2 other book shelf speakers are from this month. The receiver was $180 on amazon warehouse a few days ago. Paid $100 out the door for it and now the price is back at $400. Really liking it compared to the RX-V420 that we had that felt like it was dying. This thing I can control from my phone and also tunes itself with the little mic. Sounds 100x better and we can hear voices now due to the better center and receiver. Before we would have movies at high volume and the loud parts would shake the whole house.
The shelfs are on brackets allowing us to move them to fit our needs. It was a really cheap and effective way to organize that wall. Wish I had done it years ago. The wood on the shelfs is stained them coated in polyurethane. Makes super easy to wipe down for dusting and cleaning.

Most of the parts for my new PC arrived. Soon I'm going to retire my i7 920.
Nice car! Any interior pics?
I did not think about that! I will have to do that.

I got the SFV collector's edition and a rap 4 kai stick. I haven't taken pictures of those yet, but I'll probably post them up tomorrow after work.
What I'm really excited about is my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures that came this month. Here's a picture:
And here's an unboxing video I made and uploaded today =D

I guess it's only in Asia (China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand). I'm from Thailand btw.

Nice! Those turtles are great. Not sure if you know this, but GoodSmile based the figures on an artwork by illustrator James Jean: http://www.geek-art.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/James-Jean-TMNT.jpg

Yeah, I really like his work on fables. He is super talented. Especially in the realms outside comic books. The awesome thing about those TMNT figures is that each one comes with a code. If you own all four figures, you can redeem all four codes and they'll send you an aluminum painting of James Jean's art that inspired the figures. I redeemed them today and looking forward to get it in the mail XD.
It will look amazing in a display case behind the diorama.
BTW, You have some amazing art on your page. Absolutely beautiful.

Did something similar a few years ago. Well I also re-soldered the triggers from the old Saturn pad.
yeah, I may need to do that too. But not yet.
love me some dragon force!
I will finish what you started... Hot Toys' Kylo Ren is amazing when it comes to quality and movie accurate figures. Every layer of clothing, fabric texture and even the boots/gloves are an almost 100% match. Exceptional. Pricey but worth it.
The biggest surprise is that there's a real manual (!) coming with Grand Ages. So old school

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.

That looks sick as hell ! I want, but when I looked it up on Amazon it says $300. When you said pricey, I didn't know you meant like that. Oh well.
Here are some of the pickups I got this month. The first one I've been waiting for a month and a half to get. I finally was able to drive it home last Thursday.
American Pride
I also got this from my girlfriend for Valentine's day:
I love sackboy and had to get the set when I saw these:
I found some cheap games at gamestop last week. Some of them were .99 cents.:
