Got 22 Jump Street and Creed on Blu-ray for $5 each at Walmart last week.
A good friend of mine sent me his GTX 1060 and a power supply after he bought some upgrades. They arrived on Thursday. I was using the GTX 1050 Ti that came with the PC my dad bought me last year for my birthday. Had to order an adapter for the power supply to work on my PC, which thankfully works fine.
Pretty big size difference from the 1050 Ti and 1060...

After months of saving and selling part of my collection of videogames, I finally managed to buy a proper CPU and GPU. A Ryzen 7 2700x and an RTX 2060 Super.
I already had a Ryzen 5 2600 waiting for the GPU but just last week there was a sale going on at a local store selling the 2700x for just $135, brand new, so I got tempted and bought it. Will now sell the spare (and still sealed) 2600 CPU I already have. I know the 2700x is overkill for gaming but years ago I used to study 3D modeling and rendering but unfortunately I had to force myself to stop doing it due to my old PC which started to crap out so the 8 cores of this processor will come perfect for those tasks. I'm hyped to finally have a decent enough PC to go back to all of that, plus some gaming! I would be able to finally play freaking GTA V! lol
Looks excellent! Love the red and black theme you have here! How it's been overall? Does the stock cooler is really loud then? Cuz that's exactly the one I'm gonna install on my build hah.

Got my extension cables!!

Thanks! The build in general went well, outside of the issue for why I needed extensions (sfx psu power cables are too short for the nzxt h210 case).After months of saving and selling part of my collection of videogames, I finally managed to buy a proper CPU and GPU.

The cpu is a ryzen 5 3600 but I'm using the stock cooler that comes with the 3700x/3800x and, yeah, it is quite loud (to my ear). Every time I turn the system on its very audible. It's not annoying perse, but I'm absolutely going to replace it with something far quieter sooner rather than later as I'm a bit of a silence snob lol
I thought I had something else to show too, but I can't remember lol.
Bought both the XB1 and PS4 versions of the Bayonetta/Vanquish remasters mainly because I love the steelbook boxart so much.
Although, they look exactly the same.
I can't even tell which is which if they don't have the slip-covers on or if I don't open them up and look at the actual discs.
Strange was that while the XB1 copy had that usual sticker over the side to keep it closed that's on like... all games and movies, the PS4 copy did not.

Finally got my hands on a nice looking "FAT" PS2 for my collection.
Super envious of your collection! I'd love a classic PS1 and original PS2 and 3. I'd be worried about their reliability at this point from second hand stores.
Thanks for the compliment too finally have space after years of collecting as my kids move out.
Yeah they work perfect but I never use them. I use my modded PlayStation mini and my PS3 SS and PS4 Pro to play the older games. I used to have all my old systems hooked up but didn't want to leave them plugged in all the time anymore.
although I do have some duplicates that aren't as pretty that I hook up occasionally to my old tritron Sony CRT.

Right? It looks so insanely good. When you see it again for the first time it's like "Oh, THAT'S what I was missing"
Got a new TCL 6-Series 2019 55" tv. Absolutely gorgeous TV with amazing picture quality. To go with it, I also got an Xbox One X, a new TV stand, and a couple of new lamps.
Very happy with this setup now.
Nice look
Haven't posted in one of these threads in a while, so here are some of my recent pick ups. Especially happy to have Moon now. Only missing Lack of Love from the three Love-de-Lic titles now.
Oh yeah, these came in a month or so back too. Though, I've slowed down a lot of record collecting recently.
(Also I wish they had better art for the MGS1 sleeve)

My pile of loot just came in today. It's actually 3 months worth of preorders that the retailer holds until you decide to ship it so you can save on shipping costs. After the Figuarts Jiren came in I decided to go ahead and have them ship it last week.
The package included SH Figuarts SDCC Exclusive Ultimate Gohan, SH Figuarts SDCC Exclusive Golden Frieza, SH Figuarts SDCC Exclusive Kid Goku, SH Figuarts Jiren, Mafex Marvel Gwenpool, Kaguya Luna Figma and an Extreme Sets Subway Terminal Diorama 2.0.
Also picked up a copy of Dragon Quest XI on the Switch earlier this month.
What model are you using and what are your emulation settings?(or is it real hardware?)
It's a Dell P991 (rebranded Sony). Here's a vid i put together after banging my head on the wall trying to get it to look how i want it.
Got these blurays like... a week ago of some old movies I remember really liking that I haven't seen in years.
Been thinking about trying to start playing guitar again recently. I had to stop after a head injury back in 2008 because everytime I tried to do anything "delicate" like fret strings with my left hand, my entire arm would get really uncomfortable. The best way I know how to describe it is imagine the inside of your arm is a rubber band and the feeling is like if that rubber band got twisted so much it started to kink up and stuff.
Just last month I realized that while that still happens even if I just think about playing guitar, I used to get that feeling shortly after the accident just from playing video games or even typing and I eventually just "got used to it" or something. I wonder if I stick with it that it'll stop feeling that way if I play guitar enough.
Anyways, I saw these on sale on Fender.com on Presidents' Day for a fiver.
It's a small tin with 6 guitar picks in it. (two shown for front/back).
I don't know when I'll get around to start trying to play again, since I wanna paint or "blacken the chrome" on my bridge first and have to put it back together/set it up right and all that first (eh, I'm just making excuses here. I have other guitars too).
Been really interested in this series, but I really don't want to subscribe to Netflix.
Will most likely read it today/tonight since I'm just laid up on my couch sneezing my ass off (allergies always kicks my butt this time of year).

I'll have my monthly pick-ups and arrivals for February this Saturday.
Hope everyone is ready, because it'll be a doozy...

Well, as February comes to a close, time to post my pick-ups and arrivals from February since I won't be picking anything else up before the month ends.
A bit more than I thought I'd end up with, especially after I told myself to slow down after January, so this time, I really will slow down in March...or try my best to...

This is all from one month?! Are you going to play all these games? Would love to see your collection btw.
I mean, I'm going to try my best to as always. ;D
And here's my collection.
Show off your games collection
Slight update since the last one. Started to run out of space for PS4 games, so had to re-shift things around...again.
