August was INSANE for me. I did so much travel and am still traveling as I type this now. Check out all the cool stuff I got from my adventures in August...

What'd you get? If anyone wants to see more pics of my adventures, please follow me on twitter: @MarkMan23 or instagram @MarkMan23 ! If you don't have instagram, you can still follow me on instagrid !

 

[Conrad Link]

Wow we're always ahead of everyone and its still even August here in NZ!

3DS XL was my bestest pick up in a looong time, sooo wonderful. <3

My Dad found these games just today for me, ignore the prices, they weren't that much.

More old awesome games to add to the backlog and more 3DS goodness. Loving adding to my 3DS collection, everything is just so much better on the XL!

Whats the deal with NZ and Australia having the exact same classification labels?

 

[Nisa65]

Picked up Hatsune Miku Projecct Diva f and Senran Kagura Burst yesterday.

Also picked up a bunch of other stuff in Japan and the UK over the last few weeks. The 360 Cave collection is slowly but surely getting there.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Subscribed.

Got lots of things I'll be picking up in September - PC parts, gamez, clothes and more gamez.

 

[ResidentDante]

So that's how you recharge batteries!

 

[isual]

I bought quite a bit of games. Will post them up once downloaded properly.

IBM Model M - Buckling Spring Keyboard


UK Layout.


Let's have some fun with the new camera.


It's birthday is on the back. It's 8 years younger than I am.

I got it off eBay for £69. I've wanted one probably for about 10 years or so.

 

[SuperÑ]

Upgrading from Galaxy S to Galaxy Nexus. Jelly Bean is so smooth. Also, new 24" monitor.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

boo my stuff isnt here yet bought rock n roll racing and a bunch of other stuff

 

[Danielsan]

I purchased this one yesterday for &#8364;7,50 with shipping included. Perfect price.

Game is hard as hell.
I also picked up a bit of image retention on my Plasma thanks to Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Guess I really need to pick up and make room for a CRT tv.

Sadly one of the sellers I bought some more games from was rather slow with sending the games that I've bough, so hopefully those will show up tomorrow.

I think you can use any classification here unless its deemed 'restricted' by the rating people and then it needs it own NZ one. You can sorta see it on Binary Domain (its a little cut off in the picture), it has a NZ R-13 one.

[Netto-kun]

From August:

- Pokémon Conquest
- NSMB2 (2 weeks later I won an extra copy from something)
- Nayuta no Kiseki and P4U
- Bought Muchi Muchi Pork and Mushihimesama for a friend
- Catherine (The Hut) and Lollipop Chainsaw (Amazon UK).
- The SFxT Pro Fightstick is probably my favorite pick-up from last month (this Tuesday actually). The GAME store in Oslo had it on sale (second-hand) and sold it for 549 NOK. Time to drop the gamepad and relearn all my 2D fighting games using the fightstick.

So that's how you recharge batteries!

Actually, I think that's supposed to be a scroll.

 

[Diablohead]

Bought one of these for my nephews birthday, they look real nice in person in sunlight, photos make them look much darker.

Are all those three day PAX passes really yours? If so...why?

Isn't the OP one of the big cheeses at MadCatz? Could be the company's passes for their booth (or potentially prizes for a forthcoming giveaway, I dunno).

 

[Antiwhippy]

Got a midori traveler's notebook. Love the leather. Next time I'd probably just make the cover myself though.

New month , new PCB !

These threads suck...

... because I get so jealous Seriously speaking I love seeing all these pick-ups.

OP, just out of curiosity why did you get so many copies of Persona 4 Arena?

For friends/events/giveaways!

No they aren't. I can only clone myself 4 times. So the rest are going to coworkers/friends attending the event.

What? There's no way that such generous people can actually exist. Do you work at a game store and get discounts? Or do you often get freebies? Or are you rich? Or are you simply an awesome person?

 

[guest1321]

I'll start with non gaming and move into pure gaming:
New pair of frogskins. Love the frames and the lenses on these are awesome.

$10 for each was a steal and these being some of my favorite movies of all time, I couldn't pass them up.

My new babies. Sold the Beats By Dre Studio's a while back and bough these for $40 difference. I'll never look back.

This was more of a cable management type of purchase with the added bonus of charging. Really liking them both so far with the exception of the blue LED's on the PS3 station.

Best Buy's B2G1 sale plus having bough a PS3 and Vita made these past couple months difficult to not grab games for them.

Was incredibly blown away by this game. It is absolutely awesome. Perfect fit for the vita and reassuring the PASBR will be good for it too.

Now having a system that plays it I am finally getting to experience ThatGameCompany's works. So far I've "beat" fl0w which was okay, but am loving flower.

That and the light in my room is terrible I am ordering a blue one tomorrow as well, should be good.

 

[Lombax]

Pickup of the year for me NO MORE STUDENT LOANS!

 

[Yes Boss!]

Pickup of the year for me NO MORE STUDENT LOANS!

Ha! Congrats.

That is me in two years. Sending an extra grand each month so that I can truly be debt free.

Never heard of this. This looks really awesome. Is there an online shop for these?

http://notemaker.com.au/products/midori-travelers-notebook-black-leather

This is an australian store. You might be able to find an american one with cheaper shipping. Pencil holder is another thing.

Keep in mind that it is literally a piece of leather with elastic bands. Very easy to make, but I love buying and collecting designer notebooks, and this one is lovely, with really good leather. Also it comes with one 64 page refill made from really good paper. You can make your own refills pretty easily. Right now got a small A6 notebook, 2 refills and a moleskine volant I got for cheap. Dimensions are weird though, 11mm X 21mm for refills so need to cut the moleskine to size.

 

[Fabthegnome]

Thanks go out to Mr FedEx.

 

[perorist]

Thanks go out to Mr FedEx.

Lets hope this game actually moves some vita units in Japan so that 3rd party support will start coming in.

 

[Totobeni]

Where are you getting this babies from and do you have a general cost? Really want to get a candy cab in a few months (My first!).

 

[CoachKevin]

I am in MA. one of them was in NH, the other was in Montreal. Bought one off ebay and the other from a guy who bought a container full of them from Hong Kong.

On the east coast they run $600-1000 depending on the cab type and condition. On the west coast they are pretty cheap, but for example I just bought a Blast City cab from California a few days back for $850. Plus it is costing about $400 to ship it.

So they are not cheap.

Bah. I'll start looking but sounds like I'll be stuck going with a pre-fab'd cabinet or a Kraylix cabinet.

Thanks though!

MarkMan is mark julio, community manager for madcatz. so he has "the hookup".

 

[Lucent]

Gonna be my first time participating in this. I def don't get very much stuff compared to the people I've seen on here as I'm attending college full-time and don't have a job. =(

But here's what I've got so far.

Back

Harvest Moon games from the Natsume sale last week

Each of the Harvest Moon games were $7.50. The Persona 4 art book was $24.99 on amazon.com instead of the MSRP of $39.99.

I haven't opened the book yet, but it's pretty thick. I'll be adding Borderlands 2 later in the month for sure.

I do and thank you!
