    LOL @ Among Us physical release. 

    This generation of games is really going the be the biggest test for fullset collectors. Good fuckin' luck at this rate. Stupid shit that won't work in 10 years like Among Us, and even stupider (more stupid? more stupider? Jupiter?) shit like the literal piece of shit game (Poop Slinger) on PS4. Goooood luuuuuck.

    Damn Gloves!  Dont hold back, tell it like it is!!! LOL...

    I knew someone would say that.

    NO.

    Not unless I searched for 'revlon one step hair dryer' or 'ashwagandha' (whatever the fuck that is) at some point in my life.

    I wasnt saying it, but certainly thinking it... Does anyone else use you computer without your knowledge???

    Can you please post a link to where it states this?  Very interesting.

    Seems like the newer releases dont have this case shipping, but here is an older release with the quote.  

    Ive read this on a lot of their switch releases in the past!

    “There is no limit on this item. Orders of 30 copies (or multiples of 30) will ship in factory sealed case packs.”

    I'm in the process of buying a case of switch games from a distributor, and they mention that a factory shipment box/case of switch games come with 30 games.  However, other sources have told me that factory boxes come with 24 games and others come with 35 games.  Is there a set standard for how many games come in a factory shipment?  Also, does anyone have any photos of what these factory shipment (or "Master Cases") look like?  As of now, I don't know what to expect, and it would be nice to know what these cases hold and what they are supposed to look like.  It seems that there aren't really any sources online that describe how Switch games are shipped.

    Well, on LRG site for non limited releases it specifically says that you can buy in multiples of 30 and get sent in a sealed factory box, so there is that to support the 30 to a case.

    I've to date not done it myself, but can definitely sympathize.  My dad was a heavy snorer, especially if he was sick, so when things got pretty terrible, he'd sleep in the living room, fairly frequently stretching out in the floor (versus staying on the couch or in a recliner).  As such, he kept this absolutely obnoxious portable alarm clock radio on our entertainment center to make sure he woke up in time to shower, get ready, and go to work in the morning.  The entertainment center already had all of its spaces filled by the time my parents got me an NES, so "my" space was in the floor, right in front of it, on top of a little "console holder", with my games in a little dedicated storage cabinet right next to it.  Well, you can probably imagine where this story goes.  One morning, I want to say during a break from school since I wasn't already up at about the same time, my dad's alarm has been going off so long that it's gone from intermittent beeping to one long, rapid, never ending stream of "BEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEE," and has been there for long enough to wake me up down the hall, through my wall and closed door.  So, now awake, I head into the living room to wake him up so that he's not late.

    It takes a couple of shakes, but his eyes immediately snap open and pushes himself up from the floor in basically one motion, getting one foot under him to push off the floor and stand up with.  Apparently he did this a little too quickly, as he immediately started to stumble (having gone from dead asleep and snoring to wake up the dead from two dimensions over in about a second and a half) and, instead of putting his hand on my shoulder for balance, decides to go for the entertainment center where the clock is still blaring (I wasn't yet tall enough to reach the top of it while it was on that shelf and figured I'd leave it alone until my dad was actually awake, just in case).  The clock proceeds to wobble out from in between the several knicknacks it was boxed in by and free dive off the entertainment center, heaviest corner first, right into the grill of my relatively brand new NES.

    Of course, I'm immediately upset, afraid that my dad has destroyed my long awaited pride and joy, and all I get is half a scowl and a very sleep heavy, "Well, you shouldn't have left it there," despite that literally being the place that my parents told me that it should be, and nowhere else.  I quickly grabbed a flashlight, looked down through the now "gaping" hole (it was maybe around the side of a 50 cent piece).  As I saw nothing amiss other than the broken plastic laying inside, I turned it upside down and shook it around to get the broken bits out, flipped it back over, plugged the hookups back in, inserted a game and fired up the system and TV to see if anything was up.  The system still worked like a champ, and, after doing a rapid wash and shave in the bathroom sink, combing his hair, and throwing on his typical button down shirt and slacks, my dad wanders back through, sees what's going on and goes, "See?  It still works, nothing to be upset about."  I was less freaked out and angry at that point, but never forgot the fact that it was somehow "my" fault.

    Sometime shortly afterward, the top of my system ended up covered in whatever traced-from-Nintendo-Power "fan art" I made, with something from the Mega Man 2 issue covering the "gaping" hole in the top to protect the system.  It stayed that way for probably 10-15 years until I either figured it needed to be vented better or I was just "too old" to have "childish" art taped to the top of the system and removed it all.  Not sure if the art is still around anymore, but I've never replaced the top of that system (nor come across a broken system or partial shell to steal vent rails from to make a repair) and always remember my dad whenever it comes out to play.  My kids didn't ever know my dad, but I'm sure that as they age they'll always remember the story of how "grandpap broke daddy's Nintendo then went to work without apologizing."  😊  I started out mad, shifted into annoyed as I became an adult, then shifted into looking back fondly now that my parents are gone--funny how time does that.

     

    Thats funny!

    Two points here,

    1 - Old consoles were built like fucking tanks. Try doing that with a PS4 or Xbox today and see what happens.

    2 - The point of having children is so you can blame them for shit when it suits!

    According to the admin panel they're different people based on ip and other factors, but could be one dude using a VPN, technically. To my knowledge though those names are two different people. 

    Just sent you a PM Santa.

    Also I have traded with Gloves on a few occassions, Katchii was my username on Nintendoage as well.
