August is over! We're now in September! That was quick! Are you ready for last 4 months of the year? Ready or not, here we come!

Sorry everyone for posting the thread later than usual! I'm at the airport traveling back from PAX Prime right now! Please post your favorite pickups from August and your new ones (if any) from September!

Here's what I got in August!

925953_315398545287783_125478150_n.jpg

Had to get a new pair of cool grey Nike Air Huaraches and another pair of an OG Nike Roshe Run colorway (to replace my beat up pair)...

10598317_1456236481310686_1929670391_n.jpg

Jackie Chan's Police Story 2013! I'm a big fan of JC and was excited to finally get a chance to see this flick.

10598589_826745394026219_719163793_n.jpg

I never got a chance to play The Last of Us on PS3, so I didn't hesitate to play through and experience the remastered version on PS4 and WOW what a cinematic gaming experience! The pacing and story was on point!

10575999_1438453726443829_1227265798_n.jpg

Magneto & Orochimaru... Blind box toys/keychains. The hard part is going to figure out where to put these lol.

10554046_759846690745155_1621348068_n.jpg

You might have noticed... I like sneakers. I am in love with the new sport blue Air Jordan III. It's an awesome take on an old favorite (Black Cement Air Jordan III), and the blue matches my Mad Catz PS3/PS4 Arcade FightStick TE2!

10611162_618298194950919_185303891_n.jpg

Got the limited Air Jordan VI in varsity red. This colorway is a tribute to the Spizike / Spike Lee.

10598295_559280624197742_336422927_n.jpg

The aforementioned Air Jordan IIIs in sport blue were so hot, I had to get two pairs. Even Air Man approved of it.

10643897_567521546704138_1213125066_n.jpg

I bought close to 600 games for about $50. lol. I gotta post the crazy story behind this sometime...

10576125_739223586124743_411678756_n.jpg

The Air Jordan I KO (AJKO) in sport blue, a nice throwback to the original royal/black colorway from 1985! Love the canvas version of the AJ1!

10611055_652792344816514_1790569110_n.jpg

Got some original Air Jordan XI lows from 1996! One of my favorite pairs of Jordans while growing up. I saw a new pair and just had to jump on it.

929191_674998235919039_2052081834_n.jpg

Brought these cool Mad Catz shades to give away at PAX this weekend!

10597249_727142124008147_2084645798_n.jpg

The Air Jordan Future! I love the 3M version of these, they shine so bright! The Air Jordan Future is a lifestyle take on the Air Jordan XI with a mesh/woven upper (they have other styles too)...

10597262_1507625669454496_1619214775_n.jpg

NikeTown Seattle was kind enough to hold me a pair of the September Blue Air Jordan 6s (Sport Blue now I guess). They haven't made this particular pair in over 20 years! I was so stoked to get them (blue is my favorite color) and they also match our new arcade sticks (pictured below)!

There's a huge crossover with sneakers and gaming, especially from people that work in the gaming industry. It's awesome and just another one of those things to point and nod at when we meet up with people at events. I mean yeah they're just shoes but... they're also just video games too. :)

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
That's a deal for the history books. My jealousy is raging. Congrats!

Long story short... A gaming company was getting rid of all their old games in their library. I was interested so I shot them an offer and they took it. BOOM.

I love how you offered them 50 dollars for 600 games and they just...took it haha. Guess they were in a hurry.

My first NONtendo console ever. And a supposedly very good game. I'd love some VitaGAF tips, btw. :) I'm very unfamiliar with Sony, so...

Firstly:

Welcome to VitaGAF.

Secondly, feel free to stop by the PSN Thread for some fellow VitaGAFfers. I've had a Vita for two years, and Danganronpa is a good game to start with, as the sequel drops tomorrow. I recommend buying a grip for the Vita, as it can be a bit tiresome to play for long periods due to how rounded the edges are. However, this is a question of taste and not a must.

As for other games, my personal recommendations:

- Persona 4 Golden (JRPG)
- Project Diva f (rhythm game)
- Gravity Rush (action/platform/puzzle)
- Tearaway (platform/puzzle)
- Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (JRPG)
- Dead or Alive 5 + (fighting)

That's just the tip of the iceberg. There is something for everyone on this system. You're in for a good time.

This is your first non-Nintendo console? Well, then welcome to your magical Playstation History machine!

In addition to the top-notch Vita titles already mentioned in this thread, there are plenty of PSP, PS One and HD Remastered classics for you to try out from PSN! Many of which go on sale quite often!

Are you an action/platformer fan? Check out the classic PS One Crash Bandicoot games, or HD Remaster collections of Sly Cooper or Ratchet and Clank!

Do you prefer story-based games/RPGs? There's a long history of great Final Fantasy and other JRPG titles awaiting you, from Final Fantasy VI collection, all the way up to top-notch PSP RPGs like Persona 3 Portable!

PSP was also a home to some of my favorite 2D classic remakes like Mega Man X: Maverick Hunter, Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles and Ultimate Ghosts n' Goblins, all of which can be downloaded!

If you let us know some of your favorite games, I'm sure there's plenty of suggestions of great Playstation titles to download, dating back to 1994!

August was a quiet month, but bought a few odds and sods to keep me going... Potato pictures incoming:


Catching up on The Harpers series of Forgotten Realms books - managed to snag these online second hand for an average price of 50p each.


Some discounted Sennhieser headphones - cheapies for when I start catching the train in the winter. Much better sound quality than the iPhone standard 'phones - although a lack of controls is the trade-off. I'll live with it for the moment - can anyone recommend some decent quality ones for less than say £30?


Grey Knights Limited Edition Codex (with prints). Lovely quality, but likely the last GW purchase I make for a very long time (until they release new SoB stuff...)


Some Etnies trainers for day-to-day to replace my long-worn Vans (may they rest in peace).

These retailer specific pre-order bonuses are getting worse and worse.

They've gone from useless virtual crap, to useless physical crap. What the hell am I supposed to do with a pin button in this day and age?

Paid the equivalent of $8 for this Darksiders II Collector's Edition for the Wii U. It includes the game, a T-shirt, an artbook and a digital OST voucher. Apparently it's Russia-only, but I'm not sure. Anyone seen it before?

 
Got a bunch of stuff in the past week as well as stuff arriving today so behold the pic spam.

Clothes:

San Francisco Giants stuff (picked these both on Star Wars Day, which was this past Sunday):

From Japan Expo USA, an autograph from Akira Yamaoka:

Games!
