I like big, sturdy, old-fashioned wood bookshelves. They hold tons of stuff and you don't have to worry about the shelves bowing or warping. Unfortunately, I have yet to get one of these for my game room. I do own some "media shelving" from Best Buy. One thing to note is that these partic...

I've been looking for better ways to store my games than the book shelves I have now. I have three generic book cases and I need to expand. They work alright but they are cheap budget shelves and I'd like to upgrade. I've seen a lot of different options like media cabinets, shallow book shelves, dra...

Those little mini consoles are pretty cool but everything I can find about them online says they are no longer in production and people rarely put them up for sale.

In 07 I started working with someone who collects retro games and realized how many good games came and went during ...

Is anyone else looking to get one and just leave it boxed? Maybe one day it will turn into one of those consoles that sold low numbers and nobody kept.

Skyrim is mine. I played the main story in 2011 and set it aside. I got it back out and played it way more just recently.

Hobie-wan is pretty spot on with the advice about cleaning electronics. So my advice is just an addition to his. I was a PC repair tech for a few years so I wanted to corroborate and add to stuff he said. Yes hold the fans when you spray them with canned air. You can over spin them which shortens th...

For me it's artwork, manual, and anything related to the game that came with it. The advertisements and system information and registration cards really don't matter. With import games you've also got spine cards which matters to some people and not to others. It's the same with me but I have some ...
