Hey now!
‘Cuz absolutely no one demanded it—but a couple of the co-hosts seem to dig it—here are my fave parts from the Intro and Small Scores portion of the latest Collectorcast (now with 50% more TL;DR!):
1:28- Nothin’ against ya, but your account of Hurricane Sandy makes me even more grateful that I live in a relatively mild climate.
3:06- I’m decent at converting English to metric measurements—miles to kilometers and pounds to kilograms, mostly-- in my head. Probably ‘cuz I’m big with arithmetic and stats and all. Which would explain my super-specific posts on the milestones thread.
3:52- While it is kinda cool to see the numbers “increase” from miles to kilometers, it’s also a bummer to see the pounds “decrease” to kilograms, especially if you’re tryin’ to lose weight. ‘Cuz dropping 5 pounds sounds like you lost a lot more than dropping 2.3 kg.
8:27- “I mean, he lives in Indianapolis, not too far from me.” Oh dear lord, I am so sorry. Good God, Indianapolis? I take back all the bad things I’ve said about you and HungryMoose.
8:50-9:20- “YOU GUYS OPEN NEW GAMES!!!” *Sigh* Oh, poor, naïve Duke. I’d have thought by now you understood that logic has no place in game-trading at GameStop.
9:40- “I’ve heard it said that ‘when you try to rationalize, you’re telling rational lies.’” Sounds like a tidbit of wisdom from that paragon of clean living and emotional stability, Gary Busey.
http://www.youtube.com/em...Pd4?start=569&end=58610:54- You know,
Kod Blaapz sounds like it’d be a pretty fun game, and nothing at all like that
Call of Duty you keep gripin’ about.
12:44- “That just proves if you’re a good person, you’re a cool dude, that stuff’s gonna come back to you.” THIS is a really big reason why I’ve been hanging out here as long and as frequently as I have. It can’t be understated that we’ve a bumper crop of real decent, stand-up guys here… despite my best efforts.
12:54- Hey, there’s nothing wrong with a gamer embracing his feminine side from time to time… so long as he doesn’t try to embrace me.
19:15- “In case you hadn’t heard, the United States has decided to start a war with Canada.” I’ll just leave the context of this statement to your imagination.
21:50- “I mean, who doesn’t appreciate some good, possibly bordering on the illegal,
Mary Kate & Ashley Sweet 16 action?” I’ll leave this one to your imagination as well.

22:00- “You pick a niche and you go for it!” Probably not the most appropriate response to the situation, but definitely one of the funniest.
22:50- “…so, (Crabby) what was the
bad game you rented?”
23:05- “And, more recently, he (ixtaileddemonfox) picked up that huge TV on the side of the road for free.” Which I figure is the biggest non-gaming score of the year.
29:25- Aw man, why didja hafta remind me of Bildtstar’s
Zaxxon board game, huh?! And I’d just gotten over being all angry for not having one! Jerk…
30:50- Whattaya talkin’ about, Nomads are LAME! Um, no offense to my good buddy and Sega enthusiast Razor Knuckles, eh heh heh. Please don't hit me again, I'll be good...
31:14- Sheesh, no wonder SingleBanana hasn’t posted an Atari game review blog in ages—he’s too busy with those silly pinball machines! That guy’s gotta get his priorities in order…
37:04- “One qualification (to co-host on CollectorCast) is that you must really like
Super Metroid.” Well, that lets me out.
38:15- “And was it on (Duke.Togo’s) recommendation that (Zagnorch) grabbed
Code of Princess?”
If ya wanna know the real reason I picked it up, you can read all about it here:
http://www.rfgeneration.c...10298.msg147632#msg147632As you can see, it wasn’t a snap decision on my part; I had to weigh things very carefully.
BTW I don’t think you want me to ‘team up’ with you on
Code of Princess, Dukey. You know, seeing as how I plan to lose the game on purpose. Besides, with
Skylanders Giants having my undivided attention, every other game in my collection’s been all but ignored.
38:50-41:30- Wow, you
really found my silly get-up that funny, huh?

You, my friend, are easily entertained.
BTW seeing as how I was the one who pushed the thread off-topic, I figured it was my duty to get it back on track. My apologies to everyone for the inconvenience.
http://www.rfgeneration.c...c=853.msg151102#msg151102Oh, and you’re welcome.
41:40- I hope you realize that, by stating that you really enjoy my Collectorcast “fave bits” write-ups, you’re enabling my crippling OCD…
50:45- “I can’t say on the show what his (caption) was on one of those, but let’s just say I found it amusing.”
You wouldn’t be referring to the words I put in the mouth of the Tails doodle on the note that Razor Knuckles included with the
Shadow the Hedgehog game he sent me (in red):

51:24- The CIB
Metroid GBA game photo I posted wasn’t actually mine—it was Johnny Nintendo’s. He attempted to post the photo himself, but had trouble coding it so it’d show up on the thread. So I helped the guy out. No big...
56:35-

57:14- Nope. Not a single word.
57:20-57:40 – LALALALALA, I’M NOT LISTENING, LALALALA
Actually, I am making a little something-something that’s a trophy of sorts, which (I hope) will be revealed around Christmas time. It’s not intended for the general populace, however.
58:14- Hey, Crabs, didja ask the surgeons if you could keep the appendix? You know, as an heirloom to pass on to the grandkids? I hope you asked if you could check the thing out after they took it outta ya…
59:20- Now there’s an entry for
America’s Canada’s Funniest Home Videos: Crabby goin’ to town on his NES dance pad, when alla sudden his appendectomy stitches give way, and he slips on his own guts. If that doesn’t win the $10,000 grand prize—or the Canadian equivalent—then nothin’ will.
1:01:10- Decent craigslist finds in my area are few and far between as well.
Aaaand there you have it.
I’m not sure I’ll get to doing a “fave bits” of the rest of the ‘cast, seeing as how I spent waaaay too much time with the small scores segment.
Now it's off to bed with me...
‘Late
