[quote name='kayne2000']yea it is a bit mind boggling really but honestly im not all that shocked. i think all of us in this thread have entered hoarder mode and just bought crap we didnt need for no reason at all. what i mean is we all probably here just collect stuff to collect for no reason at all or simply to have a bigger collection. hell i own a wii u despite the backlog of death. i really should commit next year to savings and investments and simply try and only play the backlogged games hell i could do that for the next 3 years easily or even longer. honestly that really is a goal for this coming year.

EDIT:

its not that i am mad or anything like Wiggy says who gives a crap if you enjoy it. i accept this side of me(much soul search this past year has lead to this conclusion) but i have other goals so hopefully i can now learn to moderate the madness. but i think that was the first key adopting the who gives a crap i enjoy it attitude. though unlike Wiggy im fairly certain i have some crap in the pile somewhere. but at the same time i have some rather rare stuff.

I'm not hating on slowdrive nor was I seriously accusing him of being any more of a hoarder than some of us are. I'm just saying that 500,000 is a lot. I mean, seriously, I don't think there are more than 20,000 individual things in our entire house, even if I count intangibles like individual digital pictures and MP3s. So basically, he has more comic books than we have things.:lol:

[quote name='wiggyx']Hey Square, where do all your crazy sig quotes come from?[/QUOTE]

It was from a very entertaining dispute thread and the guy kept referencing the guy was Chinese for some odd reason as if that had anything to do with it, and then it just kind of kept going from there. It was quite hilarious.

The other two quotes was from the Ted blu-ray thread in the DVD/Blu-ray section right now.

CAG gold. ^__^

oh i wasnt saying you were. i was just rambling on about the subject at hand. though when you put it like that not even having 20,000 things in the house yea that is a bit crazy. i guess all that means is you need to start buying more games and movies!!

also i guess you arent a digital hoarder then???

I forget his name, but he posts in the Hastings thread all the time now ever since that incident, and he does indeed type in broken English almost all the time.

Broken English on the internet, get out of here!
 
[quote name='kayne2000']i started that site and havent kept up with it. i really should try and enter everything which strangely most of it is somehow committed to memory. it was just time consuming about as bad as when i ripped my entire music collection that took at least two years. then another many months trimming out the duplicate songs. but i can say it is finally all in one giant folder that is fairly organized.[/QUOTE]
Okay, this is a bit off-topic, but I noticed that our posts in the Wii U thread were deleted... What the hell is up with that? Were we somehow breaking the rules by talking about the game that came with the damn thing?



[quote name='slowdive21']Since we are talking about this anyway... Has anyone found a good hand scanner and software to use to organize their collection? I see 'The Backloggery' in the above posts, but can you upload a spreadsheet or something to save time?[/QUOTE]
No, unfortunately. There will eventually be some spreadsheet support, but for now, it all has to be done by filling out a form for each game.

Not really. I have my fair share of mp3s and games, but I just don't buy digital items all that much unless it's really cheap. Even then, I don't think I've spent more than $15, and that was on the complete GTA package on Steam.

I just hate the idea of not really owning something you buy digitally. You're at the mercy of the distributor in case they decide you accessed it too much (like iTunes did to me a long time ago with my first digital purchase) or if they remove it completely due to licensing issues.

100% agree with Vinny. This is why I wait for GOTY or complete editions (i.e. Arkham City, LA Noire, GTAIV, Dragon's Age, etc.). Waiting on EA to release Mass Effect 3 GOTY.
 
[quote name='wiggyx']Good plan! I tend to just sell or giveaway extras that I pick up by accident. I figure it's better that a friend benefit from a little boo-boo like that (It never happens with really pricey stuff. THAT sort of thing I tend to have no issues remembering).



Do you enjoy your collection? If so, who gives a crap. There will always be someone with a bigger, "better" collection. Plus, I've seen people with massive collections of CDs, games, comics, etc. that are made up of 95% garbage IMO. I'd rather have the quality over quantity ;)



I don't think there's that much of a markup until you get to the nicer stuff, or places like Crap & Barrel selling the same junk that WalFart does for 3 times the price. 15 bucks would be more than my cost for those materials :/[/QUOTE]

I like quality and quantity. :lol: But not into having extras unless I can get it really cheap.

i do agree with you but eh internet various downloads from various places crap adds up was what i was aiming at. the irony is downloads that way are far more along the lines of you actually owning it which is just hilarious.

lol yea i was going to mention that but i forgot....i saw that but ironically the email sent to me had your reply lol. i swear ill never understand the logic of mods on forums anywhere.

Until I die, none of my collection is permanently backlogged. I'm sure there will be some games that I'll never get around to, but I have actually made a huge dent in my collection over the years. And I have a lot of games that are just intended for when we have company. You know, party games and trivia games that don't really have an end to them.

I don't necessarily think Nintendo Land is hard, but it's definitely more of a challenge than I expected. Especially compared to Wii Sports, which has almost no challenge whatsoever, aside from the boxing and maybe the golf. The ninja star and Yoshi games are ridiculously easy, but I haven't finished DK Crash Course or the F-Zero game yet. Still haven't even played most of the multiplayer ones.

I'm certainly not going to try to convince you that the games are fun because it's different for everyone. I would prefer to play Assassin's Creed 3 (and I will when it gets here next week), but I rather enjoy having something silly that I can play for 15 minutes here and there. And it was smart of them to include a collection aspect and a fun way to unlock stuff. To me, everything makes this seem like sort of an in-between game for casual players and core players to enjoy together. It's also a great way to draw in people who are used to playing on their phones/tablets but normally wouldn't play on a console. But that's just how I personally see it. There's always something better that comes along, so it eventually won't matter either way.

well anyway i guess ill reply to it here.

yea ive bought games solely for couch mutliplayer before. i dont do it as much anymore i do have those games. yea i dont like the idea of permanently backlogged either but i just dont think there are games ill ever get to not when there are NES games we own that ive never finished. so ive kind of half way permanently backlogged some because of that.

hey some of those bowling challenges were hard. though i did manage to get a strike on that 100 pin bowling challenge somehow. i still cant believe there isnt a better bowling game out than wii sports bowling.

yea i do have games that ill play to wine(ok i seriously dont what version of "wine to use here) down with sometimes i end up playing those games longer because of that especially if it is the only gaming i do that day.

i guess i just dont care enough to draw in non gamers after what ive seen with the wii....that is far too many people own a wii that cant even operate the system or cant even sync controllers. they usually seem to have on person(often not even the owner) that can power up the game and system and the games are usually little more than bounce around or move around with no really thought and effort required. dont get me wrong i'd love for more people to join the hobby but only if they really join it and not just play one game or two on the wii. hell ive had some of these people argue with me that rock band isnt a video game. and ive seen the same thing with kinect and i would get annoyed when i lived with roommates before i got smart and moved into a studio apartment but they annoyed me when they wanted to play kinect or wii and they go and bug me to set it up. and if i didnt help it was painful to watch it would take them an hour or longer.

i also suppose if i was living in my home state where i played with other gamers a lot more i'd get a lot more fun out of nintendo land but as it stands now i dont couch multiplayer near as much as i used to so the game doesnt have that appeal for me anymore.

It's "wind down". But I do like the idea of grabbing a bottle of wine and "wining" down as well. Heh.

Totally understandable; if you don't have anyone to play with, a game like Nintendo Land is going to lose a lot of appeal. My wife isn't much of a gamer, but there are certain games that she enjoys playing and this is one that we can get a lot of play time out of. I do wish she would join in with more of the shooters and whatnot, though. Gears 3 would've been a lot more fun if she had played with me, but she can't figure out how to walk/run, shoot, and move the camera all at the same time. Which is too bad...our friends and I found out that she's a fantastic sniper, so I think she could be good at other aspects if she could just get used to the controls. Hmm...maybe I should get the Move so we can try Killzone 3. She's pretty good with a real gun, so that might work out for her.

There is also the possibility of a game that you'll play to whine down with sometimes because of how frustrating it is, and it's so irritatingly hard it makes you want to whine about it and you have to keep playing it all day until you beat it. Accursed Demon's Souls...

My desk setup is finally complete. Got my Sony 3D display for $100 last week :)
I also bought a Apple wireless keyboard for $35 over the weekend. Probably going to sell my Logitech Dinovo Edge keyboard soon. Now I'm waiting for a HDMI cable for my Macbook so I can use the display as a monitor :)

your photo doesnt work???
 
[quote name='tooshorty6432168']Damn, actually seeing that monitor in a setup makes me regret not picking one up.[/QUOTE]

It's a great monitor. Hopefully it'll be $99 again in the future soon. I don't think it's worth $179.99.
 
[quote name='Olengie']If I had 100 to spare, I would definitely pick that up.[/QUOTE]

I was thinking of buying it but couldn't justify getting it since wouldn't use it all that much. Still, for $100, that's a damn fine monitor.
 
Ah, but nobody cares about anyone else's backlog, but they DO care about their shelving if only because it might help them find a solution to their storage woes ;)

yes but you only need shelves because of said backlog so....
 
My games need a new place. They're picky and indecisive. They've been pursuing the market for months now. Hopefully they'll come to an agreement soon :p

The space a bed takes up can house a few shelves.
 
Question here. I got two copies of Growlanser Generations, and each had disks with different art on them. The SLUS number on one is 20758A and the other is 20758B. Anyone know if that's because one is a first run copy, or did they make two different versions from the beginning?
 
[quote name='Cypher_VR']
Since this picture/post (several pages back) i've bought three, going on 4 slim towers (smaller footprint) to accomodate more discgears of my collection, i'll post a picture sometime. Atlantic now owns the discgear 80s line, but the only change is the logo on the item. But they don't scratch (DVDs & bluray) - after seeing firsthand of the scratching nature of binders i was looking for a alternative. I don't mind not having covers, the way that i see it, it's like having a (multiple) juxbox. :idea:[/QUOTE]

Wow, that is pretty sweet. I can't imagine how many shelves you would have needed without them :lol:

I still haven't decided what I want to do. It will probably be one of my goals for next year at this point.
 
Was cleaning the closet to put Lego Town Hall and Monster Mansion in there. I'm so glad I haven't bought the Hobbit sets (and that they're all that interest me of sets announced for the future).

Sorry for the bad picture, but my closet isn't deep enough for a good shot.

WD had a habit of putting different disc art on many of their games... but as far as I know, WD's release of Generations didn't use different disc art. The only thing I can think of is that one copy is the standard release, and the other is a copy that was taken out of the Deluxe Edition.

[quote name='Mirpkered']It's been a while since I've pictured my collection. But here is my collection about 4 years ago and I didn't have a PS3, 3DS, or WiiU yet. Here is my set:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirpkered/sets/72157594150456836/

I'm missing 30 or so N64 games and 60 or so NES games. CML if you have any you would like to get rid of :)[/QUOTE]

Man, I love set ups like this. It really feels like a true gamer's room.

Ah, that could be it. Thanks for the help.
Both of them came complete, and since the cover art for both is reversible it'll be nice to have a good reason to keep two to display each side of the cover.




Also, digging that Christmas tree.
