Yeah, bit of philosophy I've picked up from my girlfriend: the older you get, the more shit you collect ;) I've got around 260 games on 13 consoles. I first came upon my PS1 and Gameboy when I was around 7 (my parents were wary of the whole video game addiction thing back then and I got 'em as hand-me-downs). Back then I sold games like crazy because all I wanted to do was play more games, but I was one of the few kids who had to earn my money, no weekly allowance here. Thankfully I kept some classics like Metal Gear Solid and Oddworld around (still in box, got 'em for 5 bucks back then). A few years ago I got on a random kick to go buy back all the good 'ol Naughty Dog Crash Bandicoot games, and at that time GameStop was done buying them back, meaning they were becoming a rarity. After having to dig through hundreds of caseless PS1 discs for at least an hour or two at multiple stores, I put a bit of a higher value on my games and became reluctant to sell them, especially if I got jack shit in store credit. These days I'm proud to own anything I come across these days, even if it's a turd like Superman 64. I went off on a little bit of a rant there, but it's always interesting to see why people have started collecting. :D |

I'd probably own more games than I do if I wasn't living with my parents. My room is hardly big enough to fit all the things I have now. Most of my stuff is stored in boxes in my closet. I can't put it on display because I'm not allowed to nail holes in the walls to hang shelving. I wish I could just tear out all the walls in my room and replace them with shelves. In fact, that's what my boyfriend and I intend to do if we can ever afford to move out and get married. We're both nerds and proud of it. We consider trading Pokémon with each other to be a romantic gesture. ;) |

Right now I'm around 150-200 games on 14 consoles. I'm holding out for my house and then the shit is gonna go down people! |

I think I had less then 15 then. 600+ now --- End quote --- Similar story for me too. I probably had ~30games five years ago and i just passed 600 (non-duplicates) last week on ~30 consoles (i need to actually count how many consoles i have again). --- Quote from: IKWYL on July 03, 2010, 04:43:04 PM ---Where do you guy's print your covers? .... and if you do that how much did it cost you? --- End quote --- I get all my covers printed at OfficeMax. I've tried OfficeDepot, FedEx Office (Kinkos), Staples and on my own printer but I much prefer OfficeMax's service and quality to all of them. 8.5x11 paper - $0.49 per sheet 8.5X14 paper - $0.69 per sheet 8.5x11 glossy sticker/label paper - $0.89 per sheet |
