So, my girlfriend hates that I collect video games. She says that it clutters up our apartment too much. I thought it would be funny to show her what it will look like in the years to come by showing her these pictures of everyone else's collections. She told me, "Ross, no. You are not the 40 Year Old Virgin!" HA!


Not to say that you guys are 40 year old virgins, but I thought that was a funny comparison.

LOL, be careful! Some of us are getting close, or have passed, 40!

But, if your girlfriend doesn't like your collection, find another girlfriend! Just kidding... but, really, I'm very glad that mine is extremely supportive of mine.

I don't think she'd mind it if we had more room, but a two bedroom apartment isn't all that great for showcasing 300+ games and then the accessories as well. I'm just going to have to make sure that when we buy a house, it has an extra room for MY stuff.

Well you've got the SNES version of Prince of Persia, which is one of the greatest videogames of all time, so kudos for that. And make sure you save that pic of all your NES stuff in one drawer because it ain't gonna be that way much longer, and one day you're going to be looking back on that pic in sheer amazement at how large and how fast your collection has grown.

-------------------------

My mantra, as worded by SamSpade on 06/12/12:
I don't resell to fund my collection, I don't treat this hobby like a second job, I don't care if my collection is worth ten bucks or ten thousand because I never plan on selling it. Seriously, what does the value have to do with anything if you never plan on selling? Speculation doesn't mean jack shit to me at this point, I just want to play my nes games...

Here are my collection pics.  I live in a one bedroom apartment with my girl so I dont have room to keep this stuff displayed anywhere.  It stays packed in a closet.  I took it all out to take an updated pic.  We are looking for a two bedroom place so I can have one room all to myself.  I already have the whole room planned/pictured in my head!

I painted it myself, has new blue LED's in the system and the NES controllers light up blue too. I painted it with a coat of appliance epoxy, really strong smooth and shiney looking stuff, it feels just like my stove now!

That Game & Watch looks mighty familiar And how in the hell did you get an NWC repro so fast?

-------------------------


"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."
