I've been a member for quite some time now, but I haven't posted for a while. Had a bit of a family emergency that I had to take care of. Figured this was a good way to come back to the union.

That's the most organized collection of DS games I've ever seen Yagami. I feel an obsessive need to move one of the cartridges ever-so-slightly, but I fear that you'd have me killed.DrFish62

Well, yeah, I know. I'm still proud of my collection though. Two hundred and above is enough to impress people ;)gakon5

Sometimes I call myself a "console collector," since I really don't plan on having an insane number of games for any one platform. I just wanna get all the mainstream ones, and then maybe go obscure (CD-i, game.com, any of those other consoles you've never heard of, etc.).gakon5

I am glad to see this union becoming more active.keiblerfan69
