Yes. I have zero taste and buy whatever crosses my path. You don't?gmsnpr

Nope, my collection is mostly RPGs since that's what I love to play. I'll sometimes pick up some games I don't like if I find them cheap enough, then trade them somewhere for something I actually like. My older brother gives me all his 360 games when he's done with them, like Mass Effect and CoD4, and I trade them at Goozex in order to get the RPGs missing from my collection. I try to get special editions every time as long as I have the funds for it as well. I guess my collection is quality over quantity. I could have a much bigger collection if I wanted, but I cringe at the thought of having Barbie games or something like that in my collection. xD

I buy any N^4 game I come across when I have the money, I hope to own all of them.FredGoon

All of them? Do you try to get them complete with their boxes and manuals?

I've not seen the backloggery website before, I'll have to check that out a bit more.

As for the collection issue, at >1000, I guess I fit under your definition of larger collections. For me I only collect games that I would like to play. Meaning, at the time of purchase, I thought that whatever it was I bought looked fun. There are some games that sneak into my collection that I wonder how they got past my fun filter but for the most part there's nothing in my collection that I won't play, or rather everything in my collection, I would like to play. I'm fairly picky about what I collect as well as I never collect loose carts or discs, everything needs to be in place. Boxes, manuals, whatever.

It's not the most advanced site I've been to, but it works well enough for me.

My collection is like that as well, for the most part. A stupid Garfield and Donald Duck game somehow snuck in, and since nobody would trade for such horrible games, I just have them hidden away in a dark corner of my room. :P

I stopped by yesterday and got absolutely nothing. Games are currently marked at only 10% off. Not enough to make me throw down yet.duncanr2n

I just stopped by one as well and didn't get anything for the same reason.

You will note that it ebbs and flows with major game releases. With so many triple-A titles out this week I can bet most of our regulars are playing. Also, the election kinda took the oxgen out of the room for a couple of days. Feel free to start new threads too KG. (oh also, we allow bumping of ald threads in this union, so feel free to go mining through old topics).

Finally, yeah you were not wrong about your collection being mostly RPG's pretty impressive. I'm jealous of your Harvest Moon 64 (I think I may have gotten it recently... not sure).

I've been playing as well, but I still make some time for coming here. I think I only know one semi-active person here, and he hasn't even made an appearance since I joined. I know he's hiding out with his 360 though, playing games since I'm always talking to him on there. I may dig through some threads later, when I get back from work.

I was about to ask how you could see my games list since my profile is friends only and then I realized you were a mod. For people unable to sneak into my games list like you did, you can find my list here and see how many games I've completed as well. :P

So you guys with the larger collections...do you collect just any game you come across, or only specific types of games?

This union is less active than I thought. I had expected more conversation. =O

Is the art book any good or is it a little flimsy after thought?duncanr2n

Flimsy afterthought. I was hoping for something better.

I just picked up Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) at GameStop. Got my art book for pre-ordering it, though it took the clerk forever to dig it out.

Absolutely masterful organization there KenshinGirl! I love to see new collection pics! When I saw the thumbnail of your shelves I thought, "whoa that's gotta be way more than 301 games", then I saw that those were manga; which is also pretty awesome! Oh yeah, and I like your sword collection too!inkwolf

Thanks. Well I work part time at a bookstore in exchange for books, so my manga collection grows faster than anything else and currently stands at 687 vols.

nice, and i love the weapons, those are cool, can i ask where u got them?Big_Evil666

My dad runs a junk store and he got a deal on some weapons once, so I got some swords and that axe on my dresser from him. That knife above my sword came from a yard sale though. :P

As shown in the introductions thread, here are some pictures of my room. Maybe I'll take some pictures of my hidden stuff later...and one day replace my ancient tv. :P

I have quite a few of them, most of them included with the games or were pre-order/special bundle bonuses. Other than that, I think I've only bought one.
