Wiggy, you project-aholic...  ::)

On the SFC games, if it were me personally I'd just group them before or after the SNES games, since it's "kind of" a separate system, just like I'd separate NES and FC games if I had any of the latter.

But then, my case organization is kind of inconsistent - I put most console system games in alphabetical order, sub-organized(?) by series, so Super Empire Strikes Back and Super Return of the Jedi come right after Super Star Wars. But for Game Boy handhelds I organize them all in alphabetical order regardless of system, sub-organized by series, so SMB Deluxe, then SMA games in release order, and I have Super Mario Land 1, 2, Wario Land 1, 2, 3, 4. I also place games by what they are more commonly called, so I place SMW2 under "Y" as Yoshi's Island and SML3 under "W" as Wario Land. Sounds more complicated than it is, but my point is whatever works best for you is what you should do.

I think we've all developed some sort of semi-bizarre organization for at least some of our collections. I also keep all the SNES Star Wars games together, even though it breaks alphabetical order. I've actually been planning a box set for those JUST so it keeps things from being technically out of alphabetical order.  I've literally moved Yoshi's Island 5 or more times between "Y" and "S" ;D

This is gonna throw me off. I have some of these games on SNES and SFC (Street Fighter 2, Bahamut Lagoon, etc.) That messes with my head. Buuuuuuut, it does look cleaner. I'm on the fence. I'll leave it like this for a bit and see how I feel about it after a week or two.





Dude, you don't even wanna know about all the ongoing projects. Between house stuff, car stuff, game stuff, business stuff, blah blah blah.  I'd post my master list, but it's seriously embarrassingly long.

Why do it right when it's so easy to totally fuck it up so horrifically that I almost wanna fix it for them.

edit: Literally 2 and a half minutes of work.  Geometry is your friend.






Now steal it and use it as if it's your own.

Wiggy the Hut declares war! haha

On an unrelated note, does anyone have a problem with the plastic of the UGCs rippling along the spine? It's driving me insane.

What they do is just so laughable.  It's hard not to be amazed at their inability to both come up with anything on their own, and simultaniosusly muck up some of the simplest stuff for which great solutions have already been found, like the Eco DS cases and putting anything but DS games in 'em.  Palmer came up with a super clean and simple solution and it doesn't even look like they were able to effectively rip that idea off.  Instead they toss paper and tape into an area for what really amounts to no reason at all.  There's really no reason to even cover that bit that they cut out.  Just a waste of perfectly good electrical tape and black construction paper :P  Irks me so much.

Pics of said rippling?

Their blunders that is ;)

Of course it's them ;)

The cartoon threw me at first too. I'm slamming my fist into my palm, as if to say "That's it!  Time to get the job done!" LOL!

You would think it's meant to be a teacup LOL!



Hmm, I definitely don't have that problem :-\

Thoughts on a solution Wig? Perhaps a thicker stock for the covers? It's quite irritating. My official Nintendo cases don't do it, must be the shifty plastic reacting to the Aussie heat.

I just looked at my cases and I have the same problem as Azarkhel (thanks for pointing it out, now its killing me every time I look at my shelf). So if there is a solution someone knows that would be great to hear.
