May was such a busy month for me! I've been so stressed that I often looked to retail therapy to help get me by, LOL.

Before I alarm anyone, if you don't know me... I'd like to let you know that I love video games, arcade sticks and sneakers. That being said...

Here are my favorite pickups from MAY!

Got an eTokki Omni (newest revision) Korean Stick from my good friend Laugh!

Awesome KI Arcade Stick pins from Penny Arcade!

Nike Kobe IX Elite 'Detail' - Super comfortable!

Nike Foamposite Pro 'Spider-Man' - very clean!

Air Jordan XI 'Concord' Lows! A classic! Finally released!

Air Jordan 1 Black/Royal inspired Nike Tiempo '94! I'm a sucker for black/royal!

Limited edition BAIT X Street Fighter shirts! These are individually numbered!

Nike Dunk SB High "J-Pack" in Black/Royal, also inspired by the Air Jordan 1!

An all-time classic. Air Jordan 6 'Carmines' !

Absolutely LOVE this custom Mad Catz TE2 that my friends and I modded!

Now for the crazy times. I'll be touring the entire month of June. LA, Tokyo, Singapore, Orlando. I hope I get some cool stuff this month!

Post up your favorite MAY stuff then let's get on with the JUNE stuff!

If you want to find out more about my adventures (in photos) and some text, check me out at http://markman23.com

 

[Thoraxes]

Nice, Bakemonogatari is awesome. It's a shame that Hanamonogatari was delayed.

 

[Beast Legacy]

Been buying mostly digital but it's so nice to have some physical stuff to add to my collections.

The Locke & Key comic and 999 were recommendations. DS2 shirt all crinkly cause it's fresh out of the plastic.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Not really into sneakers anymore but those carmines and white cement 3's are dope!

 

[Yazuka]

Here is what I got in May. Not everything quite yet, still waiting for a few more games to drop-in.

 

[RavenValor95]

Here's my favourite thing I got from May.

such a massive box, it's around the size of the box the WiiU came in.
This is also the first special edition I've EVER gotten for a game, so it's pretty cool to have and display on the shelf now.

edit:

snip

uuggghhh, those wii games, so good.
<3

Hope you enjoy them mate, brilliant bunch of games

 

[foobarry81]

Yep, Square Enix Europe, you got that right: I imported Drakengard 3.
That Capcom Classics Collection is awesome btw. Truely a classics collection done right.
Didn't particularly enjoy the demo of Heroes of Ruin (it just felt very generic), but it was dirt cheap now, so couldn't resist picking it up.

 

[taco543]

got the beastly Luigi remote!

of course Mario Kart 8!

the mario poster to go with

I finally got a new tv its a 55" RCA LED tv

and of course Watch_Dogs

Hope everyones month is fruitful!

 

[Yazuka]

I hopefully will! Just need to get a Wii U to play them on too. The best part about those Nintendo games, is that I got them for about $15 each. A MediaMarkt where I live was sliming down their games department and sold out a bunch of games. Sometimes you get lucky. =)

Non-gaming related:

 

[StayDead]

Crossposting from the iDOLM@STER |OT|

I went a bit overboard with excitement heh.

 

[dracula_x]

PlayStation Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0

 

[Blablurn]

PlayStation Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0

are these any good?

 

[Lemstar]

I only actually bought three things to keep this month. (There could have been a stunt diploma to show off, but I didn't feel like wasting three hours of study time going to the graduation ceremony.)

BenQ RL2460HT

PlayStation Vita PCH-2000 US version with a 64GB memory card

 

[Canis lupus]

Amazon had good sales

SC FA key also unlocked SC2!

also Ghostbusters the videogame but that doesn't activate on steam so likely ask for a refund

Amazon>>>>steam sales

Yay, it finally arrived! \o/

I stuck with the vanilla edition, but always nice to see an LE

 

[Quick Mustard]

WildStar MMO

 

[dracula_x]

are these any good?

As for headset, I would recommend this. They're comfortable enough, have decent sound quality, 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound support, sound profiles (for PS3 and PS4 only). But if you need just 2.0 stereo headphones - I think you can get better for that price.

Also check the official thread here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=757175

 

[lordimmortal]

I haven't post in a couple of months but I finally got some time & new pick ups so here goes

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

YuruYuri Blu-Ray LE sets - have been meaning to pick these up for a while. The boxes are much bigger than I expected...

I know someone that works for Bethesda they came today with these. I am keeping the unboxed promo copy as the full retail is for my Mum as she's going a raffle for charity. The bag is a shoulder bag seems be a freebie they gave out at Pax East / other places. I won't open or use it so not sure what i'll do with it yet.

I hate you, GAF.

 

[Drain You]

Probably going to be my last pickup for a while. Woke up this morning and found this box in my garage.

Gamecube NPDP Reader

Might unpack all my Cubes later and take a group shot. Hopefully sometime in the future I'll be able to grab some of the other ones I don't own.

 

[Hesemonni]

A little late, but what the hell. Picked this one up in late april. Awesome stuff. Really looking forward to it and will post reviews later on.

I got myself something to play, something to read, and something to decorate.



Oh, and something to watch. Great movie, this was my first time seeing it.

 

[Gameboy415]

My final pickups from May:

-I picked this up on a whim at Best Buy while it was on sale last week - it was pretty good!

-I finally signed up for Best Buy's Gamers Club (membership was 50% off last week), finally got the last two Pop'n Music games I needed to complete my collection, finally found a cheap/complete copy of N3II, and got the PS1 AR on eBay so I can finally blaze through all of the PS1 RPGs in my backlog without wasting hours level-grinding.

-I grabbed the eShop/AR cards & Mario Kart 8 at Target (they didn't have the Peach one yet), replaced my copy of Godzilla: DAMM I stupidly sold off years ago, and grabbed Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on the cheap using my Best Buy Gamer's Club discount.
I now have complete copies of every Pokemon game from Game Boy - 3DS (including all of the Japan/Europe exclusives).
Now I just need to track down the JP-exclusive games for Pokemon Mini...

 

[dab0ne]

Watch Dogs and Resident 4:

Is that a steel case resi 4? And where did you get that?

 

[Galdius]

Is that a steel case resi 4? And where did you get that?

It's a slipcase. I can post more pics if you want to. I bought on Amazon UK. I searched on ebay UK but I didn't find it. I payed £17 for it. Almost the same price as the regular version.
