House fire destroyed my home
Jl3legend:
I've unfortunately had a terrible house fire 2 weeks ago and it took almost everything, including my dog. My game room is entirely gone, 30 systems and approximately 2100 games. As some of you may now, I was in the process of scanning many covers in, I had already posted around 600 in the forums. Unfortunately, more are not coming. The ones I needed to fix will also not be getting fixed. I apologize to those of you that may have been waiting on some covers from me. This is a very devestating loss to me, parts of my collection were even from my childhood
EDIT 10/1/18
Life has taken a sharp turn for the worst, as my mother was just diagnosed with stage 3-4 cancer. I'm extremely devastated right now....

Oh my god. I saw the images a few days ago and felt sick to my stomach. Never would have thought it'd have happened to someone from here. My most sincere condolences. The games are a tremendous loss, for sure, but I'm crushed to hear that you lost a pet and family member as well. I'm so sorry for your loss.
wiggy:
That is just awful. It’s one thing to lose stuff, it’s another to lose someone or a beloved pet :(
I sincerely hope that the process of recovery is as painless as humanly possible. Best of luck to ya.

So sorry for the loss of your doggy mate. I can’t imagine how that feels. The rest is just stuff, and stuff can be replaced with more stuff. I truly hope he didn’t suffer. 😢
Dr.Agon:
I don't normally swear but, Fuck, that's awful!
As sheep said, game's and consoles are just stuff, the important thing is that You're alive, and I hope in time you can recover...
