Hello NeoGAF! Happy New Year! Here's to another year of pick-up posts!

It can be a drain on the wallet, sure... but it can also be a reminder of things I want (or don't want).

It brings people together with common interests and it is a way for me to chronicle my journey as a gamer & individual as the years go by.

You know... I first started this thread back in 2006 with a clear goal to see REAL photos (not something I can google online) because I wanted to see the personality & individuality in what we all like.

Spent a lot of time at home this past December. It was nice to spend the holidays with family & friends! Here's what I got!

25021657_181943082399302_2450241214159519744_n.jpg

My brother got me a pair of KAWS X Air Jordan 4s for Christmas! I absolutely love the quality on these and can't wait to break them out in the new year!

25016832_502497973470003_3829044055409426432_n.jpg

Saw this in the wild and couldn't pass it up. The PS3 Sega Virtua Stick High-Grade! It's funny because I first published a review on this arcade stick back in 2008 -- which you can read here.

25007396_1815528465414942_1412180256172802048_n.jpg

I got a lot of pins this month! These awesome famicom & Japanese arcade themed ones were from RGB Club!

25007586_391376544624929_7688615531473010688_n.jpg

Cool Japanese 'Back to the Future' snapback from BAIT!

25018206_249108412290691_9176789659080982528_n.jpg

Got a WHOLE bunch of BAPE X Dragon Ball Z gear. Got the limited jacket and some of the hoodies/crewnecks too.

25013473_328755887606743_2001296043714543616_n.jpg

I really liked this year's collab and thought it was one of the best ones that BAPE has done in awhile.

25012260_1281100781996005_8164783763713163264_n.jpg

My first box logo hoodie. I've been trying to eat better & lose weight this past year and it helped. I was able to fit a XL (I wore 3XL in the past)! I'm a sucker for volt/neon colors & this matches my OG Air Max 95s perfectly!

25009854_1766989930001803_3007985538369060864_n.jpg

New Supreme snapback lol.

25008841_506984526349915_6027659963378171904_n.jpg

A lot of people picked the Off-White X NIKE 'The Ten' collab as some of the hottest sneakers of the year. They were right. I was so fortunate to get a pair of the Jordan 1s!

25010047_1210570489044176_4425606229615706112_n.jpg

Red Bull gave me wings with this awesome new fridge! I had to display it the only way I knew how. kicks, sticks & gaming.

25012169_2010944902509725_5482551660586729472_n.jpg

My haul from PlayStation Experience. Lots of cool stuff from BAPE X Gran Turismo, Fairplay Brand & more.

25006287_1137981686336620_4641887588502732800_n.jpg

More pins! This time from pindabear!

25007259_151851492104196_441905143521214464_n.jpg

I didn't open this yet, but wondering if I got the chase variant glow in the dark cart!?

24331685_1860338734276891_34265090173698048_n.jpg

Win like 96! I love the red take on this classic Jordan model.

24327658_486346821749907_4842539685953667072_n.jpg

More awesome pins! This time from Pin Plugged!

Not that many pick-ups, especially gaming. But amazing experiences. That was fun. Enjoy your month!

Ive always wanted to ask but didn't want to sound rude or anything. What exactly do you do for a living?
 
Got Ryu and Ken funko figures. Was too impatient so I already opened them:

Because I really wanted to put them on my viewlix arcade unit. Really happy with the look so far however, I would lilke to get an ashtray to store some tokens. If anybody can hook me up with some Sega/Taito-branded ones, that would be sweet :D

I have a rule against buying first generation hardware... which I completely broke with the Xbone X. What a machine. No regrets. It's effectively the premium console that I've always wished that console manufacturers would make.

I double dipped on the BioShock Collection (it looks so much nicer on the Xbone than my PS4 copy, thanks to the forced anisotropic filtering). I also double dipped on Fallout 4 for the 4k update and to get full mod access for some post apoc fun.

Edit: Just a warning for anyone shopping around for the Fallout 4 GotY version: it only comes with the vanilla version of the game on disc and a code for the DLC on a cheap piece of paper. Poor form Bethesda, poor form. What happened? You used to be cool. Todd Howard is no longer on my Christmas card list for this year.

And last but not least, I'm a massive fan of FF12 (my fave Final Fantasy by far), so I had to splurge on the sexy steelbook version :D. I'm loving this gen.

Retron 5 died last year and I need something to play my SMD games. I am not convinced to used and old consoles, so decided to take this machine. So far, I am very happy with it.

Wow, Civ Rev 2 came out for the Vita (?!). I need to rebuy one ASAP. I love the Mega Drive; I plan on sourcing a model 1 at some stage. Happy gaming!

After a whole half generation of staying away from the X1, I now have one. My friend got an X1X, despite us having played on PC for the last 6 months or so, because (1) he's addicted to having the newest Xbox stuff and (2) for MHWorld. Our squad decided to play MHWorld on X1 due to the PC release being so late, so he gave me his. I promptly went and grabbed an Elite controller, and was pleasantly surprised the PowerA battery kit I got for Christmas works with it. Found the Nyko charging stand at Walmart. I wanted a single controller charging stand because I don't plan on using the X1 for local multiplayer at all, but not enough to go look for it online. Modmic Antlion case is great for holding the Elite controller's bits in a small package. Not shown is Halo 5 digital and my MHWorld preorder. I think they were planning on getting DBFighterZ on X1, but given the problems and ignoring of X1 players during the beta, I might try to convince them to go PC.

Curious about the Genesis..do the games run decently? I've seen these at Target, but I'm hesitant to buy one. I remember early impressions of the console were pretty bad.

I heard the main problem is the sound since this machine does not has the original sound decoder , it seems sound quality is not good but maybe OP can confirm this , it can read original Genesis games but it seems some games run fine and others have glitch or frames problems , again hope can confirm.

Look this

they are terrible! Really bad. bad sound and color and regular genesis games don't run quite right on them. made me go out and find a original model genesis.
 
My fiance grabbed us the Splatoon themed joy-cons, we saw them in BestBuy (Vancouver) the other day, as much as we play Splatoon 2 these were a must have when I saw them mentioned in another gaf thread.

Exceptional pick ups this month mate. You scored well with the OG Xbox game haul. Now we just need Microsoft to get their act in gear and put some more of those titles up on the BC program.

Nice CRT too btw.
