Last year my only goal was to clean and organize my basement, I was able to remove all none game related items in my basement/game room. This year is a lot of the nit-picky items in said basement.
I have a few things I am trying to do for my game collection, but not really looking for anything super rare or crazy.
1. Do the 2 Game Gear TV out mods that have been sitting for 2 years
2. Recap all the Game Gears I have
3. Recap and install NESRGB in best looking NES I have. Look in to getting the Blinking Lights Win part.
4. Recap woody CRT TV

6. Go through and repair or get rid of all the broken controllers I have.
7. Find out how to make molds and make the FZ-1 reset and power buttons for system that is missing them.
8. Recap Commodore 64, possible get a C64 SD card player.
9. Fix Power bricks that are not working. Make 2 more Genesis/32x/CD all in one power cables.
10. Repair the BVM, mod the Rock band Guitars with tach switches for Arcade Legacy
11. Take photos and add all missing photos of all the hardware I have for RFgen
12. Work on getting to 1000 unique hardware pieces in my collection
13. Work on getting to 8000 in unique physical games.
14. Finish playing every Sega game I own on stream.
15. Make streaming area more organized and more professional looking and sounding

22. Repair Mountain Dew Xbox system
All the games I am looking for are added to my wishlist
So I would like to start off this rant by saying I think everyone that works on and helps develop this site is awesome, giving their time to make it a great place to talk about, trade, and show off collections, but I have some issues on where and what the site should be and what it is now.
First off I feel that the site is set up to the collector for games and should every game and variance for the die-hard collector. I also understand that there is only so much room in the database. Here are my suggestions, that I know everyone wont agree on, but as a collector it would be what would suit my needs.
1. I think we should have all variation of any games, but only if some one on the site has it.
2. Pack in games should be on the site, if you can buy it by its self used you dont have to own the system. Also we cant be the most complete if we dont have them.
3. If room on the database is to full we should remove some games that no one owns. They can be added when bought.
4. For the sticky issue of game guides, we should just add a 4th column in every game added after the manual. If you have many variance of the walkthrough put down 3 and in comments list what ones you have.
5. We need to be able to add photos to games submissions, so we dont have to wait until its added, also it would help prove what it is.
6. When searching UPC should be a searchable field, so if some one does have a barcode scanner, it makes finding games nice and fast.
I know some people want the site to be nice and clean and not even have the Greatest Hits versions, thats more for the gamespot and gamefaqs type sites. They are not built for the collector, they are for the player only. For me to geek it up and nerd it out if I have 3 games like I do for FF7 I want to show them all off not just say 3 3 3. I want to be able to see why I have them.
I know I ranted to some people already on the chat but, to save my own sanity I have to get it out for everyone so see and comment about.
Thanks for every one that does such hard work on the site. I come to this site almost everyday to the point my wife just says I see your on your site again ☺
So I have got through my Sega Genesis, Pico, Master System, Saturn,PC,NES, SNES ,GBA,GBC,GB, Atari 8 bit, Commadore 64, and Atari 2600 games all organized and alphabtized still have all the rest. I have 5 boxes of dups that I need to trade off. If poeple have some newer games for Wii, DS, PSP, PS3 or 360 that want to trade for older games and systems let me know. If poeple live in the Cincinnati area and want to trade we can meet and just get it done 
There are many swap shops that buy all kinds of crap and one near me sells all the NES and SNES games cheap so I told him that I would bring some stuff to trade. Here is the list of stuff I gave him.
- 2-NES's with 4 controllers and 1 zapper
- 2-SNES's with 4 controllers
- 5-Mario/Duck Hunts
- 2-Mario 3
- 2-Tecmo bowls
- 2-super star wars
- 1-Killer Instincts
- 2-Street Fighter 2
I got from him
- Guitar Hero Metallica w/Guitar-PS3
- Vindicators-NES
- Defender of the Crown-NES
- Mystery Quest-NES
- Infiltrator-NES
- 1943-NES
- Flying Dragon-NES
- Power Golf-NES
- Gun.Smoke-NES
- POW-NES
- Spelunker-NES

- The Contra Adventure-PSX
- James Bond Jr-SNES
- Uncharted Waters:New Horizons-SNES
- Spider-Man-SNES
- GP-Part II-SNES

SOooo Let me know if I did good on trade or if I should have kept the stuff.
I have started setting up all my games and systems at my new house. This was a bigger project then I thought, I have finally got my Sega Games organized (-Dreamcast) and I have soooo many doubles on Genesis and Master System(3 large boxes). I guess I need to start selling stuff. If people want to trade for games I have I am trying to get a larger PS3 and DS collection so, any one in need of gaming goodness let.
Anyway next to do is all the Nintendo stuff. Right know Ive got 7 bookcases full of my games and systems.
I hope to have all my games alphabetized and organized by the end of the month.
this may not make any scence but its my first blog
