I know that feeling. I've got a boxed SFC game sitting on top of my PS1. I was going to move it, and then I realized that I didn't know where to move it to, thus the reason it ended up sitting on the PS1 in the first place. It's time to disinfect.
And by disinfect, I mean buy that wood for those shelves I've been meaning to make for a while. Come on, paycheck. Where are you when I need you.....
This isn't a quarter of my collection, and it looks like poop.
I'm sick of cheap shelving, but when it comes to where I want to allocate my money I'd rather have a proper dining room table over shelving for games. And yes, to me this is super ultra over the top cluttered.

I'm right there with you and have been working on this problem this week.
I live in a 1800 sq. ft. craftsman-era bungalow. I love my historic home, but storage is not one of its strong points. I have had to embrace the bin (and the attic) for parts of my collection. Now, I am even running out of space to store those...
In any event, you can have a lot of funs with the bins if you get creative. I keep my SNES games in vintage wine crates (which - in addition to looking nice - hold a lot of games very snugly). I keep my GBA games in a small cigar box, and I keep all of my GB games neatly sorted in an antique Japanes picnic basket.

You're a fancy cat Edgar. Or should I say Reiji! (I couldn't see past your avatar while reading that.)

In this case I'm moving from the building to the underground garage, into my heated car, into my house's attached garage, into my heated house. Or when I visit my aunt's for Thanksgiving, we go from parked in front of her house to inside. No need for a jacket for that short of a journey.
Like you, I don't spend a lot of time outside in the code but I still wear a jacket. All it takes is for your car to break down somewhere in the freezing cold and you'll regret not having a jacket. What is the coldest it gets in Seattle?

32. The coldest it's every gotten was 0. And I have blankets in the trunk for the "car breaks down" case.

Please tell me you're rallying behind the Irons/Hammers and not the Red Devils. I imagine though, since you're going to Old Trafford and do not want to die, that you're most likely a Man U fan. It's still a derby game as far as I'm concerned though. Have fun at the FA cup!
All that aside, I hope you have a splendid time. There's nothing as exciting as being at a live football match, cheering on your club.
