July was an insane month for me. I just came back from Japan in early July, then went straight to Anime Expo, Comic-Con and EVO 2015. Here are my favorite things from July!

My friends at Aksys Games gave me this awesome Guilty Gear Xrd - Sol Badguy banner! They got Daisuke Ishiwatari to sign/personalize it to me! Thank you!

Thanks to my friends at Funimation, I got to attend the red carpet world premiere (English Dub) of Dragon Ball Z Resurrection 'F' !

My Air Jordan 1 OG - 'Shattered Backboard' posing with my Mad Catz USFIV 'RIVALS' TE2 FightStick! Orange life is real.

Awesome trio of new shirts from BAIT. I love the Macross / Robotech designs.

Anime Expo wouldn't be Anime Expo without an anime related pick up! Limited Edition of the second Persona 3 movie on Blu-Ray!

Comic-Con is one of my favorite times of the year!

Enterbay 1996 All-Star Game Michael Jordan! This one is sportin' my favorite sneakers of all time (Air Jordan XI Columbias)!

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

Check out this awesome sketch from Long Vo (Udon) of Chun-Li and her Mad Catz arcade stick <3!

Gotta love the Lego Action Comics - Superman set <3

Udon artbook covers also double as posters. Gotta love the "ladies" of Street Fighter

Took me forever to finally get the new Air Jordan I OG Chicagos!

Got the new Ultra Street Fighter IV 'RIVALS' TE2 and Hori VLX for PS4 during Comic-Con!

And I modded the Hori VLX with Mad Catz buttons lol. :3

The awesome ladies of Summoner's Cafe got me some awesome gifts! D:

Josie Rizal (TEKKEN 7) art that they made for me <3 !

One of the coolest gifts I've ever received... An original theater display card for Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" from 1973.

And finally... Got some games last night. Finished chapter 1 of King's Quest already. I LOVE IT! Waiting for more.

What was your favorite stuff you got last month? Post it up and start posting your NEW pick-ups from this month as well!

 

[Salsa]

markman do you have like

a storage room

the size of the titanic

 

[harz-marz]

Awesome gear!! The Chuck IIs look amazing!!

 

[RangerBAD]

I want those Macross shirts.

 

[Toki767]

Just got these shirts in.

 

[Jigolo]

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

 

[Stalk]

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]

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.

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

As I mentioned. I'm all about sneakers that are video game related. These are the hot Xbox One Adidas that no one knows about

I would like a pair of them.

 

[harz-marz]

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.

None seem to be available where I am (Northern Ireland)

Wish I hadn't seen your post.... *jealous* lol

 

[Koppai]

I just won this from Ron Carter Hyundai in Houston!!! Now I own all three systems!

Picked up this dude at Best Buy. We got 55 of them and I believe we have sold out of them all. Limited to 1 per customer.

 

[Anion]

Well today I had a major moment in my life lol got my first car. Its a 2015 CLA 250 Sport+...with red belts, brakes, stitching, and well the whole body lol. Ive never been this happy before in my life. Its so much more beautiful than I expected when ordered her months ago...

 

[brollyman2k]

got my birthday gift late because it was at Customs for a bit but I love it!

also got Dark Pit thanks to my brother waiting in line while i was at work!

 

[NinjaCatfish]

Well today I had a major moment in my life lol got my first car. Its a 2015 CLA 250 Sport+...with red belts, brakes, stitching, and well the whole body lol. Ive never been this happy before in my life. Its so much more beautiful than I expected when ordered her months ago...

That's a hell of a first car, far out!

 

[foobarry81]

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:

 

[Dangerblade]

Udon's exclusive set of metal Street Fighter cards!

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

 

[kanuuna]

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.

 

[sechsterangriff]

Not much this month. Every penny I had from my entertainment budget went into Shenmue 3.
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

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Finally upgraded my video card to an EVGA 980 ti Classified. Huge step up from my 7970, which you can see by the fan was in its last legs.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

My biggest pick-up ever, outside of a car and college:

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

 

[Asparagus]

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.

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

Just two small pickups for me.

 

[Anion]

That's a hell of a first car, far out!

Haha thanks man!

My biggest pick-up ever, outside of a car and college:

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

Woah dude congrats!

Woah. Good luck, man! Hope it goes well!

 

[LegendX48]

This actually arrived yesterday but kinda forgot about it:

 

[bean breath]

A PS2 DVD remote, PS One Memory Card, NFL Blitz for Game Boy and a GameSpot UK backpack.

 

[illusionary]

A few pickups from the last weeks of July onwards - The Witcher 3 collector's edition guide, Pikmin 3 and, just arriving today, my copy of Rare Replay.

 

[hydruxo]

Well today I had a major moment in my life lol got my first car. Its a 2015 CLA 250 Sport+...with red belts, brakes, stitching, and well the whole body lol. Ive never been this happy before in my life. Its so much more beautiful than I expected when ordered her months ago...

Normally I'm not a fan of red cars at all, but this one is an exception. Looks great man, congrats!

 

[BrunoM]

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

 

[thekiddfran]

To start this month off, some cheap games to stick in my PS3 collection. Got these two for 5 euro each sealed from GameStop:

Got an incredible suit for 850 euro for a wedding I am going to in one months time.

 

[Vaga]

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

The matte-ification of my consoles is complete. Fuck gloss.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Yo MarkMan, you should come by Action Figure GAF and post pics of what you got

 

[MarkMan]

Yo MarkMan, you should come by Action Figure GAF and post pics of what you got

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!

 

[Phat Michael]

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?

 

[Anion]

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

Haha thanks! I think I have an obsession now of wiping the bugs off after everytime I use her lol

 

[Ringo]

I always imagine his setup is something like this:

 

[ArcLyte]

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.

 

[MarkMan]

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

 

[Bizarro13]

He is a pretty charming guy. I'll give him that.

 

[Hex]

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.

 

[SweetJohnnyCage]

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.

I met you back when i was working with eLive. I hope you kept that pink 23 shirt !

And yeah, you're cool.

First time posting on this kinda thread.... go easy on me! It has been a very expensive month so far...

New Chuck IIs! Have ordered a pair of the black ones too, first ever Converse hi-tops and I love them!

upgraded from a 1080P 60HZ TN panel to this 1440P G-Sync beast! It is beautiful!

beast of a card! What more can I say!

This is my setup at the moment! The speakers were purchased a couple of months back.

Once you get them on! Is it just me or are they really difficult to put on?! Maybe I just have fat feet!

I've met you in my dreams, does that count?

 

[Ledhead]

This actually arrived yesterday but kinda forgot about it:

Beautiful cover art.

 

[ike_]

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.

 

[Confusatron]

One of my fav bands of all time!

Amazing band and great looking poster!
