I mainly just use my android phone, and my wife has a kindle, but that wouldn't work now would it?  Well....I guess I will use the $500 that I was going to donate, and go buy a PC........

You could have bought a PC instead of a Kindle...

I think the Kindle was a gift from my Father in law.  We had a PC, but for some odd reason someone kept downloading naughty stuff and it kept getting viruses.....

So anyways a topic suggestion:  

Game Rooms. How do you have your consoles and whatnot setup? Is everything hooked up at once with a crazy network of switchboxes, or do you  just hook consoles up one at a time? Do you have a separate setup for current gen consoles? CRT, HDTV, or both? Fancy expensive scalers or crazy surround systems? Arcade sticks? Sometimes, putting together a perfect game room can take up almost as much time and money as actually building a huge collection.

You guys kinda touched on this in the last podcast, but I think it could really be elaborated on more.

You've done an amazing job of discussing "how" to collect (local/online picks, cleaning, inventorying, etc.)  I'd love more of the "what."  Perhaps get into different genres and great games within them or why the big ticket games are so rare.

I really like this idea.  At times, I feel like I have been out hunting and passed on games that were valuable because I didn't know enough about the games for a certain system.  Sure, I can tell you which games are valuable for the NES or 2600, because I primarily collect for these, but for other systems, I am probably only aware of a handful of titles.  I know you couldn't go into the rarer games for every system, but you could hit upon a few games for the major classic consoles. (i.e. no need to do the Neo Geo, we know all of those titles are expensive Tongue)

For the Neo Geo, it might be better to discuss the affordable titles Wink

NeoGeo has affordable titles?
Really? I was legitimately unaware. I thought ~100$s was pretty much base price for games lol

This idea came to me while I was researching the differences between the SNES/PS1/Nintendo DS ports of Chrono Trigger.

Why not discuss why certain ports are deemed better? One point of conversation could be comparing an SNES game to its PS1 counterpart or an arcade game to the home console version.

A suggestion I have for a discussion topic would be collecting complete game sets. Why and when you should do it, various different ideas for sets to collect and best stratgies for finishing the sets. How to decide on what system to collect a complete set.

My main interest is in the "why". I personally don't have anything against it but I just don't really understand it (just not how I collect I guess) which is why i'm curious why each host decided to persue going after a complete collection of a paticular system and why that system.

the complete set suggestion sounds familiar, they might have mentioned it before...but not as a main topic though, i think. if they haven't done that they should though! also i really like the ports discussion idea.

Yes! I have been wondering about that myself

I would love to see some discussion on SETA arcade hardware. Specifically the Aleck64 hardware.

There's something odd about this arcade hardware....
