Indeed. There's something about this thread that keeps me coming back.

Here's my first pickup for 2011, a job. 9 months of unemployment, it was a hell of a ride. In lieu of this, you can expect some TE sales from me in January.

pickup thread is one of my favorite neogaf threads + it makes you buy a LOT of awesome shit. So yeha 2011 - lets go =)

jonnybryce · Dec 31, 2010

Simple pickup - Sly Collection.

Really impressed by the first game but it's a lot more frustrating/challenging (fair and unfair) than I expected. Gorgeous game though.

Perfect Blue · Dec 31, 2010

December haul was by far my favourite of the year.

Brand spankin' new PS2. I'm incredibly late but oh well. Better late than never!

And the rest.

blizzardjesus · Dec 31, 2010

December is also my end/best of the year, new Imac, cataclysm and steam... $20 on steam so far.
PDS was the big pickup form earlier in 2010, as was Scott Pilgrim BD and Mario Collection.

Yay, new year!

Well, in twelve hours. Happy New Year to everybody in other parts of the world!

Just got back from Target with some stuff I'll post later.

Favorite pick-up in December is my Seimitsu RAP from amazon japan!

It's a 21" i3, my 3rd mac after an G5 1.8 and a G4 powerbook. It runs great, art programs, games and video's look amazing. The wireless keyboard and mouse are pretty impressive, thought I do need to use a different mouse for WoW. I debated for a month on which model to get and I'd say I'm pretty happy. And the steam deals...I may be set for the rest of the year.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, prolly the only new anime I liked this year.

Someone's been to Cex!

Stabby McSter · Dec 31, 2010

greatest pick up ever?

i broke my collarbone, but got to keep this real cool xray

Celcius · Dec 31, 2010

I finally got to do some shopping today:

I sold my super loud/hot GTX 480 and upgraded to a GTX 580:

My 700D was pretty bad at air cooling, so I also sold it and upgraded to a Silverstone Raven 02:

Now my computer's MUCH quieter

Yes Boss! · Dec 31, 2010

Catching up on some Nintendo releases.

Snow White blu-ray for cinema fun!

The Champagne of Beers for New Year's Eve. Was gonna go with Belgians but then saw this cool packaging with the neat graphic on the box. Totally worth the $7 for twelve bottles:

And Paper Airplane chase for my new DSi. Best download game ever created! I put this game on every single one of my DSis.

Gouken · Dec 31, 2010

well i did buy plane tickets to the Maldives for me and the family(but they're gone), so here some shot of the best week of my entire life!

oh and happy new year guys!

I'll upload some more...

Yes Boss! · Dec 31, 2010

Welcome back Gouken! Loved all your updates on FB.

thanks, it's too bad I'm back, but I'm already planning my next trip to the Maldives again

=

some more....i did tons of diving, snorkeling, relaxation messages, into the Indian ocean trips to the dolphins...

yummy waffles with mangos for breakfast over the ocean...

2 bedroom sunset beach villa with a private butler.

the place was reeking quality and privacy.

there were tons of black tip, white tip reef sharks and sting rays, but they were extremely harmless and swim away once you approach them.

btw, diving 3-4 meters in the ocean made me feel like my was gonna explode! damn it was painful.

tsurugi no mai · Dec 31, 2010

Damn... That place looks incredible. Like a dream.

bPod · Dec 31, 2010

I hope I retire in a place like that

I was going to add more pics of Noble 6 in Dec. pick-up but decided to post them here instead. SquareEnix towers over McFarlane's Noble 6.

My last pick up of 2010 - what an incredible year!

Bring on 2011!!!!

Have a prosperous 2011, Gaffers!!!!

Gouken · Dec 31, 2010

That's me getting a bad ass bronze tan

eek! shark! but it's harmless

could this be the cable leading the looking glass underwater station?

entremet · Dec 31, 2010

Wow. Looks amazing.

Tabris · Dec 31, 2010

How much did it cost you for the week per person, ignoring flight costs? (the accomodations, food, events, etc)

Litflynt912 · Dec 31, 2010

Just came in the mail a little while ago...thanks to my awesome GAF trading partner in crime! (I will keep his identity safe!)
What an AWESOME way to start 2011!!!

I had been keeping an eye on the secret santa topic in OT, but I at least see one of my presents hanging on your wall.

Majine · Jan 1, 2011

Holy fuck, Gouken. That is amazing.

LiK · Jan 1, 2011

damn, that S-E Noble 6 looks badass. mine is shipped, can't wait!

Bii · Jan 1, 2011

Beautiful pics Gouken!

Tabris said:

I was checking out some prices after seeing those pics, and for a one day/night stay at one of those resorts, can run upwards of $1000/person. Not including flight, food, events, etc.

I'm seriously considering taking a trip like that for my girl and I. I'd probably have to save up for a few months, though. :lol

Smidget · Jan 1, 2011

Wow @ Gouken's "pickup" for the month.

Too bad the cheapest flight would be $1.8K a person for 28-35 hrs of flying/connections from Florida lol Wow. Awesome looking place though, looks fake (in that good way).

FrankT · Jan 1, 2011

Well just found the next spot I have to visit. Thanks a lot thread. Just incredible.

Gouken said:

Very slightly jealous atm. Looking at $13.5k for round trip, in-flight ride to island, 5-6 nights, meals and spending cash. Damn.

Will make it happen. Well worth it for your own little piece of Lost amiright.

Actually found another Hilton that was about half the price but still 5 star rated. So I could pull off it comfortably now for about $10k. They take my Hilton points as well so free night ftw.

trust me it's worth it, you'll forget the entire world and the money you spent. it's like a taking trip to heaven then you come back to earth!

How much did it cost you specifically though for that resort and suite? I'm curious as I would want to know how much to save for that exactly.

its actually purely natural, it's a small beautiful resort with untouched and undisturbed nature. but i know what you mean, it looks so good that it looks like painting

seriously no bragging, it was my my 2 daughters, wife and sister inlaw. we went though an agent(and this includes discount), 5 business class tickets, 2 bedroom sunset beach villa, private butler and includes breakfast cost me $20000. fine dinning lunch and dinner plus deep ocean snorkeling, sailing to the dolphins and relaxation therapy message were an extra $4000. so the total come to around $24000.

of course i went full force luxury on a 5 star private hotel and island. if you're going as a couple and plan it ahead of time(we planned it 6 months ahead) cuz december/jan/feb/mar/april are it's best and busiest seasons.

there are tons of 3 and 4 stars hotels that can be had waaaaaay cheaper. TripAdvisor is your best friend. that's what we did with tons of research.

Tabris · Jan 1, 2011

Hmm. First you should post in this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=417118

Second, that isn't absolutely crazy for the best time of your life. It's same concept as wedding costs. How much was that cost minus the business class flight?

Where are you?

Gouken · Jan 1, 2011

oops, too late Tabris, i just uploaded my last batch of underwater snorkeling shots...

wish i had an underwater digi cam, all of those were taken last minute with a disposable underwater Kodak cam...i happy with the results nonetheless less

Ryan_ · Jan 1, 2011

Pretty nice start for this topic I must say! Allthough it makes me wonder why I stayed in the freezing cold place that is called Belgium for the holidays. :lol

spats · Jan 1, 2011

Here's my favourite pick-up of the year. Very happy with it.

eXistor · Jan 1, 2011

I also got a 12cm large Luigi, but forgot to put it in the picture.
