Normally these are in boxes because I have no room to display them but I just got box protectors for them all. Enjoy some PAL SNES goodness with some NTSC exclusives on the bottom

Yes. Has the same name as well.

Huge arrival today for the TG-16 collection. That makes 28/94 for the set (not that I'll ever complete it).

It's about 80 NTSC exclusives, about 80 NTSC-J exclusives and the rest is all PAL

Reached 2222 PS3 games a couple days ago so I figured it was apropriate to share

Gotta request a PS3 set charm

Can't really say it's a focus but more of a wait since I'm only one game away from full sets for these systems: Videopac, N-Gage and Black Point SHG. At the moment I'm mostly looking for Intellivision, Interton VC4000, Master System and Wii U. Between the seven mentioned I'm hoping to complete at least 3 by the end of the year.

Luckily GameStop in Germany is detached from the American mother company. On Wednesday the state of Bavaria was the first to have all non-essential businesses close. GameStop's statement: "We are not an essential business so we are closing our stores in Bavaria." By now every store in Germany is closed. In general I've never heard any of the negative things about GameStop here compared to what's happening in the states. Sure they always ask to get a membership when you buy stuff but that's pretty much it. I've known some people working there and most people found it to be a relatively nice experience (for retail standards).

Just beat Banjo Kazooie for the first time. Final boss gave me a massive headache. Hate the flying in this game

The US is apparently rated #1 in something. Not sure in what and who rated them but OK. Also white house not testing because noone has symptoms so probably all good.

Figured I'd chime in since I'm from across the pond. I work at a university in Berlin and starting next week virtually every school and university will be closed until at least past Easter. This only goes for teaching atm. Universities that have the capacities (like mine) move to online teaching for the time being. Administrative staff is urged to work from home whenever possible however it is expected that administration will be forced by authorities to seize onsite operations in the coming days. All onsite events and meetings are cancelled, postponed or moved to online as well. Most large events as well as most big sports leagues are suspended temporarily or have ended early. So far very few places have been forced into quarantine although again that should only be a matter of time. Unfortunately in these cases it's up to the individual states and health and education are some of the very few areas where states have authority and don't have to go through if the federal health/education ministries ask them to do something (basically the federal government would like to move forward faster but the states are being childish and want to play big as much as they can). As soon as the situation is declared a state of emergency though all state authority is overruled by the federal government but that has never happened in our history. As far as supply goes everything is pretty solid still. I was at three different supermarkets over the course of the week (just doing my regular shopping; no hamstering) and everywhere the shelves have been well stocked. There is a very slight shortage of toilet paper and pasta (mostly the super cheap brands) but if you want to buy something you definitely can. Overall our population seems to be quite reasonable and is more annoyed by the fact that decisions are made slowly because of the authority question. People are also a bit more chill here compared to the US for example because of our strong labor laws. Except for solo artists who might struggle basically noone has to worry about their job since salary under these circumstances is guaranteed. If a company shuts down voluntarily they still have to pay their employees as if they were working full time and if the company were to be shut down by the government the company still has to pay all wages in full but can get it back from the government. A multi-billion emergency fund for this is already being arranged. The responsible secretary already proclaimed that they will do anything in their power that no job will be lost during this period (doesn't seem to be hyper realistic but the sentiment and urge appear very genuine). If you have questions to a European feel free to ask

Currently working on Banjo Kazooie. First time playing and it has been really great so far. Will probably finish tomorrow as I'm already on Rusty Bucket Bay

Centre Court Tennis done. Won all four tournaments but since there are no credits here is the final screen from the last tournament.

No more unbeaten racing games on my list for the moment. The next games I'm gonna play that are unbeaten so far are Centre Court Tennis and Mace: The Dark Age.

V-Rally Edition 99 is done. They don't even give you credits in this game :/. I also beat Nascar 99 a couple weeks ago but forgot to take a picture. I could go back to take a screencap from my stream if that counts.
