Re: Games Acquired 2016
I'm at a loss by this point myself. Fragems is obviously 99% collector 1% gamer.

Re: Games Acquired 2016
I am definitely 80% collector and 20% gamer. I am also pretty sure that if I posted pictures of my collection it would make a few heads explode. (If you want to see how much I bring in, you can check the last page 2013 "games acquired" thread and assume the pace never let up.)Xeogred wrote:I'm at a loss by this point myself.

Re: Games Acquired 2016
I've acquired around 300 games so far this year. I'm definitely 95% collector/5% gamer. Fragems and I are kindred spirits in that regard.

About the same here....I try to play games but especially in the case of say portables, I end up playing for 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there so it takes awhile for me to beat them(especially when said game is left in my jacket pocket on the opposite side of the store under a cart....at lunch and breaks i don't feel like walking back to grab it.....).
My gameroom
My systems: NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, original gba, gba sp(001), ds lite, 3ds, vita, psp, PSone(101 model) ps2, ps3(320gb model), ps4, retron 5, and Dreamcast.

Damn near what I have total remaining/acquired left at my going rate and I'm offloading around 20 items more now as it is so far off ebay until next week.ElkinFencer10 wrote:I've acquired around 300 games so far this year.

I used to have thousands and a dozen plus systems, but that was another decade and life. I can't see doing it ever again, even if the kid were out of school/moved out unless the greed causes the whole mess to implode eventually much like other abused interests.

Re: Games Acquired 2016
March is basically done.
Previous months:
March:
New Adventure Island PCE - £14.49
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee PS1 - £12.79
Pokkén Tournament Wii U - £39.98
IA/VT Colorful Vita - £32.65
Total: 4 games - £99.91
Slightly misleading this, seeing as I actually ordered and paid for IA/VT in December. It went missing n the post and I had a hell of a time getting it replaced.
A fairly easy month this month. Picked up Pokkén around launch but still need to get back to it. Oddworld was for Together Retro. I still need to get back to it. IA/VT I ordered months ago, and I still need to get back to it.
But hey, I finished Adventure Island at least!
Both retro games were eBay purchases. Pokken was from Amazon. IA/VT was from Nin-Nin-Game, who I normally like, but their customer service was shit for dealing with my missing item.

Gaming is pretty much my sole hobby at the moment so all of my disposable income goes that way. I'm also only working 3-4 days a week so I have a lot of freetime on my hands
But yeah at the moment I'm sitting at somewhere around 3050 games(RFgen has me at 3074 but I think that's including some systems/accessories). I'm trying to slow down a bit, but I have a hard time passing up deals. For now the majority of my collection is boxed up since I don't have enough shelves, but I'm in the process of purchasing a house so once that happens I'll create a dedicated game library. I do resell as well but I do so in spurts usually after building up 30-50 games

Re: Games Acquired 2016
This should probably be put on my tombstone. It's why I never have any money, and it's why I have so damn many games I haven't played. It's also your fault since you keep posting those Amazon Warehouse Deals and spending my money for me.Fragems wrote:I have a hard time passing up deals.
Last games of March were waiting for me when I got home from my mom's house today.

Re: Games Acquired 2016
Jealous, Nights of Azure I wasn't paying attention to it till recently and it's getting some good reviews. I got Digimon Cyber Sleuth on my radar next.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
