So, the podcast had to be put on hold due to some car problems taking up a lot of my time (and money), but until it finally comes out, I managed to go out of town this weekend and managed to hit up some game stores and thrift stores. Kind of a slow weekend for finds until we were on our way out of town.

As those in the chat know, because of my living arrangements, I have my games stored in two different locations: my current house and my in-laws, where we lived previously. My collection at my house had grown to nearly 1000 games and it was starting to bug me that I had no solid idea of exactly what else I had. So, that's what I spent my night doing last night.
I made my way over around 5:00pm and set up the router, then headed downstairs and started plugging away. Things started rather slowly as I began with my containers full of mostly hardware. As those slowly transitioned to containing more and more games, my collection began growing online at a much quicker pace. This is SO much better than IGN. I ended up finding a stopping point roughly 10 shy of 1300 with many boxes to go. But that's not what this is about.
As I was entering stuff, I was finding myself saying, "I didn't know I had this" or " I forgot about that one." I was rediscovering my collection. I really had no idea just how much stuff I had amassed in a relatively small period of time. Along those lines, I had no idea how much hardware I really had. Some obscure, some not-so-obscure, but all there. Lots of joysticks, controllers, and just plain cables.
As for the games, I found some that I forgot I had, but I apparently forgot just how many times I had bought a game. How many copies of Aladdin for Genesis does one person need? I found manuals I didn't know I had for games I'm sure I don't have. With maybe half of my stuff from my in-laws online now, I still have a little way to go. I had originally estimated 300-400 games/systems/accessories over there. With nearly 300 being put in last night alone, I have to think that I had guessed about half of what I had there. Soon, I'll know for sure.

As much as the world has changed, our still somewhat niche spot as gamers has adapted to the times as well as the games. We have created our online museum of our past. We share our experiences about the present. And we will evolve together as the gaming community continues to change. I hope to write about some of my experiences with gaming, as well as on some topics that were not directly relevant to me, but to the community or you personally. |
