Aww yeah I want some of that sweet ZeldaFreak action!  

I’ve only seen fight club, seven, and the social network.  Maybe some of the others but I don’t remember.  They were pretty good.

Those seem popular, though I feel like the NES still has them beat, specifically in the category of collecting for a full set. I sometimes go and buy myself some GC/NDS stuff, but only for games I have a strong interest in. It could just be my imagination though

My experience with the community outside of here is exclusively Reddit so it may just be a there thing.  While it does seem NES collecting has some level of prestige I see a whole lot more upvotes for look at this pile of DS games I got at GameStop.  We all sort of knew that would be the case though as NES collectors aged and the younger folks started collecting what they remember.

#88 Allen Lande- My Own Way Home

This is a much more serious song with serious lyrical content. It's been a tough year for me and this song has been instrumental for inspiring me to pick me up by my bootstraps and get me back on my feet. 

Nice.  Two thumbs up for the Jorn Lande love.  The first Masterplan album is one of my all time favorite power metal albums.

At the end of the day, no matter how many years have passed- NES is still seen as THE system to collect and everyone wants this one, full set or not. On that note, when I you get that close to having a full set and only a few games are missing, people are going to be more likely to drop a couple grand on one game "just this once."

 

Is it?  Genuinely curious.  
The kids all seem to be into DS and GameCube these days.

No love for the IB?  I love a nice IB score.  Then I get to cart hunt; it’s almost always the other way around.  Nice change of pace.

One of my favorite collecting things is finding a nice priced/condition box lot btw.

I prefer complete if we're talking Nintendo games but I'm not a die hard.  I'm going to assume game, instructions, and box (GIB?) for disc based games unless stated otherwise.  And I won't collect game only from PS1 and later unless we're talking digital, and that needs to be a pretty sharp discount for me to consider.  Order of preference in terms of collecting:

1. Complete
2. CIB
3. CB
4. CI
5. C
6. Digital

I always think of CIB meaning cartridge + instructions + box, different from Complete which is CIB + inserts.

This is a distinction I make as well.  In fact I  will list my listings here with C - I - or B depending on which pieces I have.

not talking about rakijia are you...hahaha thats of a different level

Lol I had to google that.  Never heard the term.  Slivovitz.  I don’t know man you’re standing outside 711 drinking plum booze taking pictures of cockroaches.

So let's take a look first at these tiny tiles. They hang on the wall like nipples on a blossoming woman's breast.

 

Holy FBI raid Batman.  

This post was definitely made at the bottom of the bottle of plum brandy.  The only roaches I’ve ever seen not at the zoo are in my ashtray.

I wasn't talking about that, was more thinking about the folks who get married then throw in the towel six months later to get married to someone else, rinse wash repeat.

Marriage has nothing to do with people’s commitment to one another.  I’ve been with my significant other for 15 years have 2 children and have never been married.  Marriage is a tax filing status and nothing more.  Always has been since the days of her dad will give me 15 goats if I take her off his hands.

Well that's a whole other thing itself, marriage has definitely been "cheapened" over the past few decades, in terms of taking vowels and trying to follow them. 

That’s not true.  My grandfather’s generation definitely thought it was ok to pop her in the mouth if she talked back

Takes two to tango, both are bad people. Not happy in your marriage? Get divorced. Plenty of women who aren’t married to fuck around with

What does her tax status have to do with it?

I’d like to vote for confused dumbass please .  There’s way too much reasonable and thoughtful advice in here.  I’m a bit concerned that the SNES is having a negative impact on men’s testosterone levels.  

You mean to tell me nobody else wants to slip the ol salami to dog walker lady from down the street?

Never mind the whole part about fucking around and finding out; my question here is, isn’t dating 3 women at the same time a shit-ton of work?  At 40?   That shit sounds horrible.  Feelings shmeelings.  Cut that down to 1 married woman and take a nap.

It’s never happened to me but as a basement collection guy I feel your pain.  Was always paranoid about that.  As such Ive always avoided putting anything on the bottom shelf.  Stick some old books or something down there.  My neighbors have apparently had issues with water in the basement before but fortunately I never have.

I really wanted to vote for Reservoir Dogs, Inglorious Basterds or even Django as best film but man is Pulp Fiction a good movie.  That „Say What Again Mother Fucker“ scene is one of the best of all time.  

Finally saw this.  It was good.  My expectations were low because my last Mario movie experience involved John Leguizamo.  It was cute and enjoyable.  They did a good job of putting together a silly story that allowed them to squeeze in all of those game references.

Bump it up

It seems he feels very strongly about his right to play out of time.

Crazy that the other 7 games on the console didn't do it for you.

Somehow I managed to resist Quest64

I had a buddy who had this back in the day.  One of the 4  N64 games that made me want one.  

I’ve got a real soft spot for hair metal.   Some solid stuff but not my favorite.  7.

It's time to just get my total unabashed copycat side project of a busy dad of 3 underway and have some fun with it, as I love discussing music almost as much as food and video games. So please to the other 7 or 8 fans of heavy metal, enjoy as I compile a silly but fun list of my favorite metal songs of all time.

Now I have some rules and notes of my own:

*I will only list songs I have a real interest in, but I may be unaware of 90% of the bands additional catalogue. So while a band may have a way better song on the unreleased side a of their demo underground EP that was given away by mistake at a Washington Nationals bobblehead night, if I haven't heard it before, it won't be on here. In addition, I love the challenge of not repeating a band. Otherwise certain albums alone will occupy the top 50. 

*We as fans of metal and additional extreme musics have a deep and cultural understanding that the most important part of any metal song is deciding whether or not it is metal enough to included on a list of things that are metal. After all,how metal is metal and how much metal is metal. But one thing is for sure, if an established metal band championed by establishments of metal to be a standard of metal releases a song that is not metal, but is however my favorite song of that band, it will be on this list. Same goes for the established non metal band releasing a song that may in fact be metal, if that song is on my top 100, it will be on this list.

*I play drums. When I can't play drums, I practice bass. I'm a rhythm guy, so I will have a favoring to drumming and rhythm sections I find interesting. Many of my reader may already be aware of this based on other posts across the forum, so consider this the only spoiler.

*****

That's it for rules, I'm going to do my best to crank this out. I may skip some days if I work a 17 hour shift or and spending much of my day getting stoned and wandering up a mountain, but I'll try and make up for that by posting multiples on other days. And without further adieu:

 

Volbeat- Lola Montez

 

 

I'm as surprised as you are. This song grabbed me while the radio was on one day long ago. Cool bluesy sound, Danzig styled singing (maybe intentional or not). I wish the rest of their library lived up to this song.

That was pretty good.  Reminds me of a heavier Social D kind of thing
