Of course.  That was kind of the thing with the aisles of vidpro cards at Toys R Us.  If you parents ever threw out a surprise you can pick out a game and you didn’t go in with a plan.  You end up with Star Voyager.  

Always wanted this one

I’ve been wondering about this as well. I’ve sold a couple of $100 plus items without incident but I’ve got a significantly more expensive item I’ve been thinking about putting up but I’m nervous.

I think you need more likes.

Gotta be Captain Lou.  Oh, f*ck you Luigi!

Nope

Well, now you know why the community wasn’t given the chance to buy NA.  

Also, lol @ rich guys are too busy to commit white collar crime.

Real German beer you can’t find elsewhere.  Wernesgrüner in my tum.

But not as good of a deal as seeing The Scorpions, Deep Purple, and Ronnie James Dio for $16 total at the same show

 

I saw that tour.  Friggin awesome show.  Easily in my top 10 all time concerts.  Probably top 5 if I think about it. 

Edit: oh yeah nickelback...Not very good but not as shitty as people claim.  I gave them a 3.

Welp.  Looks like my family is eating happy meals all next weekend.

Let the cat have its fun.  If it gets away, it’s not like there’s not gonna be a bunch more hidden away somewhere.  Gotta gas that whole apartment.

I too am a GVN user.  I always thought their collection tracker was fantastic.  The one thing that drove me nuts though was...I want to sort my collection by which parts I have.  I’d like to be able to sort my CIB NES games to the top so I can see at a glance what I have in a sea of C or CI.  

I think that the way political/touchy topics on NA was always handled pretty tastefully.  Let it go if it stays constructive/respectful-ish.  This has always been a pretty tight knit community so these things come up and I don’t think most have an issue hearing others opinions on them.  It would be a shame to hand cuff the community on this.

I wish I could repost my complete longbox collection pics here but they’re all boxed up and the original pics are photobucket watermarked now.  It was a lot of fun to collect. Any longboxers hiding out there?

Nice. Did not realize list was actually that short.  That quality though.

That is the part of the journey I am working on.

I’m sorry.  I don’t have any decent advice.  Try not to destroy everything around you.  I’m a mess.  Baby name was easy.  We named him after him.  James.

My last funeral was my wife’s grandmother.  I’ve been to surprisingly few funerals.  My paternal grandparents both died before I was born and my mom’s family is incredibly long lived as a rule.  My maternal grandparents are both like 90 and still kicking.  Living in the same house they have since forever.  

My dad died like two years ago from liver cancer.  Worst part was that we found out right about the time we found out we were pregnant.  He was the first one we told as he took what turned out to be THE turn for the worse.  Anyways sadness, sadness.  We decided to forgo a funeral as everyone that mattered came to visit him in hospice.  Pretty sure I never processed the emotions correctly and just bottled it up and put it on that shelf of anger that sits in my chest.

Not doing too much collecting lately but when I do it’s mostly been either CIB NES or Wii.  

I’ve come to accept that I’m not going to get full set cart only NES so I’ve been into picking up select titles as CIB.  I like the eye candy.  And the feeling of taking the game out of the box.

Ive been picking up Wii stuff randomly when I find it cheap at thrift stores and stuff.  I’ve been trying to keep it to “in the wild” collecting.  I don’t have any real attachment or reason for collecting it other than it’s cheap and I like game collecting.

 I sort of did a similar thing with PS2 at one point.  It was dirt cheap and I figured why not.  When I boxed up my stuff recently, with as much room as it takes up, I wondered to myself, why the hell do I have all of this PS2 stuff?

I forgot about this one a few years ago. It's kind of hard to see in the pic, but it's Link's 8-bit sword carved in the pumpkin sitting in the middle of the chest with all the candy surrounding it. Unfortunately, a lot of kids thought I was dressed up as Minecraft something or another that year...

That is a tragic Halloween tale

When I was like elementary school age our  set up was in a back room on our house that had full on 70s/80s wood paneling and those cheesy thin wood Venetian blinds and everything.  Later we moved and it was just in a first floor bedroom that we used as an office.

Welcome

Was curious.  http://playstationage.com/ is still up.

edit:  looks like segaage too

Atari 2600.  I know the games are cheap as hell but, I’d have to get a system and ya know....rf.

its always been one of those things I’ve meant to get into but I just have never gotten around to.

also back in the day I always wanted to try the turbografx16.  If i remember correctly there was some debate in my household about that vs genesis.  We went genesis.

I’d bubble mailer it with an extra wrap of bubble wrap.  Probably upgrade to box at >$50?

When/if you do might I suggest there be a way to delete double entries and such.  I did a bit over on the PlayStationAge database a while back and was always frustrating to come across double entries that can’t be deleted.
