Still July for another hour on my end (also holy crap MarkMan, I want everything you own, so jel on the RoF thing), however I did get a nice pick up today when thrifting:


£15 from a charity shop for everything, works fine, had one random reset due to a CD read error but seems to work fine. Considering modding it for region / backups but hey. Need an RGB scart cable yet though.

markman do you have like

a storage room

the size of the titanic

I wish.

Awesome gear!! The Chuck IIs look amazing!!

They are! The comfort levels between old chucks and the chuck 2s are insane. There is full comfort around each part that touches your foot now. I'm very impressed.

I want those Macross shirts.

I don't think they have them available online anymore :( ! Might have to contact their stores.

I had no idea Chuck II's were a thing. I need some in my life now.

They JUST came out. Good luck finding a pair. A lot of stores in my area (San Diego) were sold out of the black ones -- They're available in high/low versions; red/black/white/blue.

That's a hell of a first car, far out!
 
Late July pickups, featuring what is probably the highlight of the month: Winds of Thunder.

PC Engine game: Winds of Thunder


GameCube game: Chaos Field Expanded


PS3 games: Disgaea 3 - Absence of Justice, James Bond 007 - Blood Stone, Spec Ops - The Line, Time and Eternity (with art booklet), Bleach - Soul Ignition (Asian English edition)


PSVita games: Toukiden Kiwami, Mortal Kombat
I'm playing through Toukiden - The Age of Demons now, I'm somewhere near the end of Chapter 5. I don't like it as much as the Monster Hunter games, but it's a capable alternative.


PS2 game: Mega Man X Collection


Wii U game: Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag
Wasn't going to pick up AC4, but some Australian guy sold it for cheap on eBay, so I caved. I actually kind of like the foil cover.


And some amiibos:

Udon's exclusive set of metal Street Fighter cards!

10268931_412957685578679_502114538_n.jpg

Can't forget the elusive Ono-san card! This one is the rarest!

MarkMan...these are incredible. I'm a sucker for cards (all kinds) so thought I'd have a browse on eBay for these...

...DAT MONEY :O

My phone's camera doesn't really do these things justice. These are awesome. Incredible full spread and page photographs and descriptions found in the last pages of each book. I had my first look at these when I visited the Wallace Collection earlier this year, but I couldn't possibly buy the books back then.
 

Not much this month. Every penny I had from my entertainment budget went into Shenmue 3. :p
Still, I managed to find Macross for the PS2 very cheap and it's actually quite common on ebay! To think that I cursed myself for years for not importing it on release lol
 

Skel1ingt0n

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
My biggest pick-up ever, outside of a car and college:

20013411968_78387ac83c_b.jpg


... Technically purchased it in June, but it just arrived. I'll be asking later this month :)

The original PSX still looks amazing. Just seeing that makes me want to buy one again.

Just two small pickups for me.

Damn now that is a first car !! Lol I'm afraid of seeing you second car in the future haha

Love it its beautiful I had to work my way up to it but amazing first car
 
I need to open mine. Most are in boxes and storage because my 'other' collections (arcade sticks, video games and sneakers) are taking up most of the space!

you should post some pics of your storage/collectables and gaming setup in the setup thread - i dont know how you could keep all that stuff. Do you live in an apartment or a big house?

why does it seem like this markman guy is constantly showered with gifts and free stuff? Is he like the most charming mother fucker on planet earth? I get that he's the community manager at madcatz, but that doesn't answer my question.

I have good friends that work within the industry. I'm not getting showered with anything :)

I am rather charming though. Someone quote me on that and share your experience if you've met me :p

He is pretty damn charming.
You can't learn it, I'm sorry but he was born with it.
Seriously though, even myself who does not hit alot of events hears constantly from friends and other how Markman busts his ass for the community and if you have been around GAF's FGC you will also see that he has been in the trenches for longer than many have been holding their stick.

Mark once found me on the floor of an airport in Charlotte, NC and hung out with me for our connecting flight. We shared a cab to da beach. Very charming fellow.

Two shirts. Because I can't stop buying shirts: one is about video games, and one rips my heart open just thinking back about it.
