Here are some of my favorite pickups from November! Most recent to oldest from Nov.


I got a box full of goods last week from my friend at Nike. What could be inside? 10 amazing pairs of sneakers...


This stuff is so sick. Concords are timeless, but the new Megatron trailers early? Clean Air Max 97s?! So sick.


More good stuff. UNDFTD Hyperdunks, Premium Air Max 1s, Lebron Xs and more...


I'm so excited to finally start this. <3


Had to get the console for the collection too.


Got some extra ones for work & friends. Xbox One launch was fun times.


I got to play through Dead Rising 3, which I absolutely enjoyed!


Special artwork for the new Mad Catz Killer Instinct Arcade FightStick TE2 for Xbox One!


My mini Vewlix 1/12th scale arcade machine models showed up!


Haven't tried NFS yet, however LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is excellent. Got it for my daughter.


Unfortunately since launch, my PS4 has been collecting dust. Lack of titles I want to play. However the UI is such a big upgrade from PS3. Love it.


I'm a sucker for fighting games. What can I say?


I'm also a sucker for old school cartoons and merchandise lol.


Awesome book/magazine. <3


It's been awhile, but BlizzCon was back in town! So I went and...


Got the goodies, played some Diablo III: Reaper of Souls (also got into the BETA)... and...


Got to hang out with the wonderful Evelyn Lin during BlizzCon!


Couldn't resist this retro phone case. Now we've seen a lot of these in the past, but this one actually feels like an NES controller (plastic wise), the buttons are rubber however but it's cool you can press em' in and stuff.


Air Jordan V Laneys! Blue and Yellow! Matches with my Mad Catz gear and Chun-Li stick!


Needed a HD webcam for streaming, so I got one of the best ones for the job!


My friend in SG kept sending me awesome pics of her wearing our gear, here's one of em. So cute <3

That was my November pretty much. I expect Dec. to be just as awesome. Are you ready?

Turned out to be a very good weekend for me. :)
Even though the shop messed up my PS4 order and I wasn't getting one till January, they called as someone cancelled a secondary system.

On top of that I got a new TV.
Got my very first plasma when I got my PS3 years ago, so now that they are going to stop making them, I felt like upgrading it a bit.

Before:



After:



Astonished by the picture quality. Loved my old set as well, but it had started to fade in black levels. This one is pretty much perfect in every way I can think off. Best TV I've ever seen so far, so I couldn't be happier. :D

Yay for a new Month!

Should be my clean-up month...getting games I missed earlier this year (for cheap!) and heading back to so cal for the holidays to pick up a ton of stuff that has collected over the last 15 months!

Massive anime pick up sale. Pay quite a bit for them but kinda feel pity for the lady who have to sell part of her son anime collection (her son pass away and want to sell them as she don't need them anymore). The list of anime below.

Misaki Chronicles Complete Collection 1-3
Macross Plus Movie Edition
Mezzoforte Uncut and uncensored
Hunter Warrior Battle Angel
Wolf Run Limited Edition Box Set
Rahxephon Limited Edition Box Set
Messa 0 Danger Service Agency
Witch Hunter Robin
Desert Punk in Tin Box
Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent Volume 1-4
Blue Seed 1-4
Saikono 1-4
Kite Liberator
Urotsukidoji Perfect Collection
GSC Gunsmith Cats Bulletproof
Otaku no video

Finally December huh? Well here are some the things I bought in November, it wasn't much. The biggest pickup was the PS4.






Woody is just as happy about the PS4 as I am.

All I need to do is replace my XRGB 2 Plus with a Framemeister and I'm all set for the next X amount of years. ;)
Until I find a new house though at which point I'll upgrade my surround system as well.
Then I'll hand the TV on the wall and have a bit more room to place my AES and Super Famicom and PS2s.

Here are most of my pick-ups from November. This month should be just as good, if not better.

The Moto X is not pictured since that's what I used to take these pictures but I got a customized one with a turquoise back, white front, and silver accents.

I'd say she probably plays angry birds and/or candy crush. Here's my pickup for the year. hopefully the last ones.

I picked up a ps4 as well, but didn't post it for last month's pick ups. I'm still new to this.
