Darth Vader

I hate to say I told you so (not aimed at anyone directly). I knew this was going to happen as soon as I saw that pud Jeff's post. I started crying about it in Jeff's thread, constructively albeit a bit harsh, and was met with some push back, doubt, and pleas to give this new guy a shot. I didn't want to conform to the optimism for I knew that it was just the beginning of the end. Anyone could see that if they just read between the lines. Although most of us saw it coming, and detached ourselves from NA when the end seemed imminent, there is still no doubt that this is a sad day. I called NA home for almost 10 years. It kicked my collecting into high gear. Having a place to gather with like minded people and discuss something you truly love to the core was absolutely magical. There are events in your life that leave markers on your personal timeline. A node to mark a life changing event. NA was one of those nodes for me. When I found it, my life was changed forever. I know this may sound bit over the top but it added more than just a new dimension to my collecting but also inspired me to open a video game store with a lifelong friend. Something I probably never would have dreamed of otherwise. An awesome journey that I enjoyed every step of the way. Feeding off the community helped me be the best owner I could be, do the hobby the best justice I could, and stay ahead of the trends to keep the store at the leading edge of the collecting scene. Although that store is just a memory to me, I sold it a few years back, it will still hold a special place in my heart as will Nintendo Age. That being said, my love for the hobby is as strong as it's ever been. This place will mark a new node on my timeline. Video Game Sage, although in its infancy, is comprised of passionate people who will help it grow into the community that NA once was. I can not express my appreciation enough for the work that is being put into this site. Naysayers will say that forums are dying and social media is taking over. I believe this to be far from the truth. Posts on social media are fleeting and hold no substance. Forums are where communities are built, it's where knowledge is stored, meaningful discussions can be had and analyzed, and it's what progressed this hobby into what it is today. There will always be a place for dedicated forums and Video Game Sage will be that place for me. Ok, enough with the mushy stuff, I'm just happy to be here! Cheers to my new home Video Game Sage! Shameless plug......Check out the Video Game Art Club I created in the Club Section. Come talk about your favorite video game art and show of your creations! P.S. - That go collect forum format looks like absolute shit!

Check out his albums We Cool?, Worry, and -Post. Those are his most recent and best.

I used purple sheet foam. Projected the sprite onto the foam so I could control the pixel size by just moving the projection closer or further. Traced it out then cut it with a hot wire foam cutter. Then I just painted in the pixels.

I like having a place to show off some of the things I've created that stemmed from my love of video games. What better place than a club, in a forum, filled with a ton of other people who love video games! I'm sure I'll post some more stuff in here. Just figured I'd get it started with a few pics. So this is our mascot at the Water Department where I work. and here he is in the Halloween costume I made him this year Here's some signage that I made for the game store I used to own. It's made from foam sheets I cut out and then painted. Mike Tyson is my favorite. Psycrow never got finished.

Always listening to the Beatles. Abby Road straight through at least once a week. All of their solo stuff with the exception of Ringo. Billy Joel, mostly the album The Stranger which I think is his best. Hugh System of a Down fan, love pretty much every song of theirs including Serg and Daron's solo stuff. My go to though is Jeff Rosenstock. Absolutely love this guy!

I was off of Red Bull for a while until I saw these a few months back. Decided to give it a shot and now I'm hooked. Good luck on your hunt!

CIB stuff is seeing a spike based on condition. The minty stuff is going for a premium. There was always a gap there between nicer copies and more worn ones but is seems as though that gap is beginning to widen, and fast.

Sooooooo gooooooood!

He's running from NA

Diggin' the new site. Nice and fresh! I was pretty upset about the purchase of NA. This feels good. Glad to have a place that is again about the community. Looking forward to great things on this site.
