RF Generation Message Board

Hey guys!

With all the cool pics and vids of everyone's collections going up lately I couldn't resist throwing my hat in the ring.

Here's the first of three videos. I start the series off by zipping through a lot of current-gen stuff.

Part One: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, SMS, NGC

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

Here's part two. It's a little sloppy because it didn't record the first time, but it get's the job done. Once again thanks for checking it out!

Part Two: NES, DC, SNES, Saturn, N64, Genesis

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

Finally we have part three. This shelf is a combination of my least favorite stuff and my most favorite stuff, as the stuff on the bottom shelves is mostly blocked by a futon (which we moved out of the way to film). This video is a little longer than the other two because it includes Playstation 2, which is my favorite, so I didn't rush so much in this one. Enjoy!

Right now this clip gets cut off at the ten minute mark. Thank you techwizard for pointing this out. The vid is currently uploading to an alternative site and I will replace the link as soon as it is up.  EDIT: FIXED!

Part Three Part 3 - Intellevision, PSP, NDS, 2600, XBOX, PS1, PS2

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

So there you have it friends. I really had a lot of fun making these vids and would love to do a few more. If anyone would like to see more of anything or wants to hear about a specific parts of the collection, let me know.

Thanks so much for taking a few minutes to watch. I've been collecting for a while but until I discovered RFGen about a year ago, I didn't realize there was one great place where "people like me" gather and share about our awesome hobby.

Nice collection so far. I don't really know enough about modern generation gaming to comment, but looking forward to the other videos. :)

very nice, you have a lot of good stuff for the modern systems, looking forward to more videos!

That is a fun little video; I like short collection tours. You're missing No More Heroes 2, and you should rectify that. Overall a nice group of modern titles, and I look forward to the next parts!

That's a good looking collection.

I saw those Saturn games hiding off to the side, waiting to see more of them   :D

Nice video. You've got a good number of great games there! I liked that it was more of a way for you to show your collection instead of a bragging rights video.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of your collection.

me too, and i like when people point out their favourites or ones they don't like too, like little mini reviews

Thanks a lot guys, I've been wanting to do this for a very long time, even before I was on RFGen. It's really fun to share.

I just added part two. Part three is in the can and will be live as soon as it uploads from my phone.

Watched part 2. You are right, Monster Party is a great game that doesn't get mentioned a lot. U.N. Squadron (SNES) is a great shooter, but I think the price on that has inflated a bit as of recent. Saw it in a used game store the other day for $50......Yowch! Still seems to be reasonable on eBay though.

I must've paid between five and ten bucks for UN Squadron about three or four years ago. I guess it was a good grab. Looks like it is going for around $20 right now. Still worth it if you want a world class side scrolling shooter!

Thanks for making the videos. It's always interesting to find out what games a collector identifies with, and how they organize/ set up their collection.

That's awesome!

Very awesome. I just picked up Monster Pocket from GamerNick, and it was one of those games that I rented as a kid, and I thought it was just neat a quirky kind of way, especially when I fought the tempura boss

i laughed at the silent service part

Thanks, now I feel better about the joke :)

Well the third video is up. A little longer than the other ones but I just love my PS2 games.

I added more notes to the original thread so you can check vids that have the consoles you like, or avoid ones you don't.

The things I would do for that Gamecube Fire Emblem...

The best part is it was a gift from a buddy of mine.

I'm blessed with a handful of friends who love video games but are not collectors and don't give a rat's ass what a game is worth.

Sigh...I just ordered the DS one from eBay yesterday. Now that GC one and the two GBA ones are the only ones I need...the stateside ones anyways. I have the Wii & 3DS ones already...halfway there!

 - so much pacman
 - looks like you got a nice bundle with the wife ;)
 - it cut off exactly at 10 minutes when you were midway through talking about Radiata Stories

overall great collection!

OH SNAP. Thanks for telling me. That must be the limit on photobucket. The video is almost 15:00.

Looking right now for somewhere else to host it.

It is processing on vimeo right now. I will fix the link the morning.

OK, finally got to part 2:

That Famicom game is SD Gundam Gachapon Senshi 3: Eiyuu Senki ;)

Too risky sliding that Silent Service like that. The friction on the cart edge could really bring down the resale!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... did you use the 'e' word there? Blasphemer.

Waiting for a full part 3.

Is that a normal SD Gundam game?

edit: ummm nevermind

The third vid is available in its entirety.

Very nice, glad that I could help you out with a couple small pieces in your collection! I think now is a great time to be collecting PS2 if you're into it. The games are still everywhere and the prices are reasonable.

As a fellow Sony guy I enjoyed the third video. You've got a bunch of great games.

Thanks for making me aware of those hidden PS2 gems.

I loved the third video with the wife bundle. What do you think of the HD collections for the PS3? Would you rather have the PS2 originals?

It depends on the game/series. I have ICO/Shadow on PS3 but as you can see I've held on to them on PS2. I got the God of War disc for PS3 that had GOW 1 and 2 on it, and I only owned the first God of War at the time, so that came off the shelf.

I have the Sly Cooper one, but I didn't have any of those games on PS2.

The only other one I might be interested in is the Ratchet & Clank one. Two of my PS2 R&C's are greatest hits anyway so I wouldn't mind trading three PS2 shelf spots for one PS3.

If you can find Sly Cooper Thieves in Time cheaply pick it up. I borrowed it from the local library and found it even with the studio change it stayed true to the gameplay of the earlier titles.

I've heard good things about it. To be honest I've only played the first one. I liked it a lot, but I know the second one is a lot longer so I haven't been motivated to get into it.

Same with R&C. I have them all, and I have the intention of playing them, but they are monster games for being platformers. I loved the first one though.

In both cases I think I need to break my "play series in order" rule and skip ahead to the current gen games. I was very happy when I did that with Splinter Cell Conviction.

Just finished watching. Neat stuff. Kinda feel bad for the Atari and Intellivision and other systems that don't get much love though.

You should do a video on the hardware, I bet you have some consoles you play those games on. Probably a few controllers too. I saw there was a SMS....

Not a bad idea, I'd have to figure out a way to make it interesting. I find software much more fun to talk about than hardware.
