Finally picked up a Wii U back in November. I had been putting it off too long.

 

[Kahoona]

What a way to start the year off.

 

[Voidance]

What a way to start the year off.

Great car, dude. I have the red hatchback version and it's been a fantastic car.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

2016 must be the year of fucking gigantic photos. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This one is sort of a double pick-up. While in San Francisco for PlayStation Experience, I attended the Street Fighter V Character Art Show event at BAIT SF. Got a cool Cammy sketch from Long Vo of Udon Ent. Also have a new girlfriend (also pictured). ^_^

Another day, another "Making of..." book:

Are these good? I've been debating getting the first one.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Are these good? I've been debating getting the first one.

I honestly think they're great, as the books go quite in depth with how the movies were made. The entire process, including how it was funded, how they went about hiring actors, how they came up with the designs, etc. are all in the books.

For me, I grew up immersing myself with learning about all of the behind the scenes stuff, dragged my parents to a Lucasfilm museum exhibit for both Star Wars and Indiana Jones when I was 12 and spent my Christmas money on a 4-disc boxed set of the Original Trilogy's soundtrack when I was 13. So these books are a dream come true for me.

Are these good? I've been debating getting the first one.

I just recently read them all myself. I started off reading Michael Kaminski's The Secret History of Star Wars which is a really dishy, behind the scenes dirt style "making of" that covers all 6 of the Star Wars movies Lucas was involved with. Then I moved on and read all 3 of JW Rinzler's Making of books in order and, by the time I was done, I had a new, deeper appreciation for all 3 movies. All that reading also helped me realize that I mostly don't care about the prequels and that that's OK and it also helped to make Star Wars not just my favorite of the Original Trilogy movies but also my favorite movie of all time. I could seriously watch that movie, any time. Dawn of the Dead is now forever at #2.

Where did you buy Bayonetta 2? everywhere I've looked it's out of stock ;_;

 

[aznpxdd]

Got the GTX980 from the first page, along with a new SSD, and thought F it, gonna get a better case to put them in. So, here's after moving majority of my parts to the 750D with the new GPU and SSD. Think I did a fine cabling job!

 

[Auron_Kale]

Last, but not least, is my final "Making of..." book:

Time for some happy reading!

The first one is now in my "wait until payday" Amazon cart. Thanks guys.

First pickup of 2016.

Where did you get that First Order Stormtrooper helmet?

 

[bryanee]

Wii U games

 

[Mass Effect]

Had to get it from a gaffer.

Try the B/S/T thread and maybe you can find someone who will sell it to you for a decent price.

 

[neoxdonut]

Master of Doom was a great read!

 

[DevilTakoyaki]

Where did you get that First Order Stormtrooper helmet?

I got it from ANOVOS.

 

[Olengie]

Was invited by my cousin's family to go to their Vegas home and go stay at the Strip for New Years. Got these at the Outlets.

Loving these crewnecks. I paid full price for Totoro but I got the LoZ crewneck for $20 and the LoZ shirt for free. Btw, Windwaker is my favorite.

 

[Auron_Kale]

These were my very last purchase of 2015 (I placed an order for these on New Year's Eve while at dinner) and have just arrived. I rarely ever get collaboration sneakers, but I really wanted these. Presenting End. x Saucony Grid 9000s 'White Noise'

First of all, it arrived in a giant box:

Next, here's the actual shoe box, which is made out of plexiglass (I kid you not), and the shoes inside:

Finally, the sneakers up close.:

First game of the year

 

[aznpxdd]

Razer Blackwidow Chroma tournament edition (without the numpads). Love it, the keys are very tactile and the keyboard is very compact, not like I use the numpad much anyways. Goes well with my Mamba chroma as well =)

 

[KDash31987]

-The Dark Knight Rises (Blu-ray+DVD+Ultraviolet combo pack)
-Man of Steel (Blu-ray+DVD+Ultraviolet combo pack)

 

[Yazuka]

My latest stuff. Shovel Knight is actually my first game purchase for the year.
Liked the game so much I had to buy the physical version too.

 

[alr1ght]

I got a Steam controller for some reason, and some ps games.

Local Thrift Store find

 

[Galdius]

Some new games and the Simpsons game:

Another 3DS and some Nintendo games:

Some retro games:

And some N64 games for the fullset. Now I need less than 100 games and I already have all the heavy hitters:

 

[ColdPizza]

What a way to start the year off.

West Herr? Another Buffalonian?

I haven't built a computer since 2011...are case builders standing up SSDs vertically a new thing or is that some adapter that allows you to do that?

 

[momshotdad]

Got fat and lazy when I got out of college and into my career. Time to go back to the glory days.

 

[Miroku129]

The second item was more personal and cute, as someone I know (who isn't even much of a gamer...yet), knew I liked Final Fantasy so she made these out of clay from scratch, so that was nice (They were supposed to be for a tree decoration, but will keep hold of them).

So cute!!!

 

[Card Boy]

Yakuza Dead Souls.

and i finally properly joined the Vita Crew and picked up at Vita 1000 for really cheap off ebay. I got a PS TV in December aswell.

For less than $200AUD ( i got x2 16gig memory cards, 1 screen protector, 1 Vita case, a Vita 1000 3G model and a PSTV. The same thing brand new at recommend retail prices would of cost me between $400-500AUD all up!

 

[SweetJohnnyCage]

Picked this up from the Buy/Sell/Trade thread.

 

[Tunic]

A couple of pickups from earlier today!

 

[bobawesome]

I was holding off on pictures until everything came in. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time blu-ray from KimchiDVD finally arrived today so everything is present and accounted for.

The only thing I'm bummed out about is the lack of a slipcover for When Marnie Was There. Thanks, Target. They've been 3 for 3 for issues when it comes to buying DVDs/blu-rays. I would've picked it up at Rightstuf or in a store if I didn't have a Target gift card.

 

[Andrew J.]

Gannondorf amiibo was on sale.

Couple games too.

 

[socksfelloff]

West Herr? Another Buffalonian?

My wife went to UB. I swear 90% of buffalonianias buy their car there.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Weekend project:

 

[Auron_Kale]

Caught the movie on tv and realized that I only had the movie on tape. Decided to order it off Amazon:
