It has been 3 days since I posted this article and over the course of those 3 days I managed to pick up 9 new games, 2 new wavebirds, 2 Gamecube broadband adaptors, and a PS3 Memory Card Adaptor.

Seriously, I need help.

Words can't describe the feeling that gave me.

They were by far the best acquisition I have made in recent times. I got them for $15 each which just made it sweeter, oh and they are the platinum ones so they are super sexeh. So now I have a full set of Wavebirds, which is awesome.

So you got them for less than half the original MSRP, they're the superior Platinum version, and you now have 4 of them. Are you trying to make me hate you?

I'm looking for one, my second, and I would settle for a used gray one if it worked and I have yet to find one, I'm considering paying $50+ on eBay for one (I have one, I know it's worth that).

No no no no no no! I'm fairly certain it involves apologizing to someone for past wrongs. Did you steal someone's VCR to support your gaming habits?

Haha, VCR, what would that pay for, 1 game? Go big or go home. I stole people's children and sold them as slaves.

Mega Bump.

So I just hit GAME 1000 (Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2). Epic day.

PS - For those keeping track, that's 289 more games in less than 11 months. Addiction FTL.

Wow you count how many games you have? lol.

I'm scared to count mine.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #34 on:** May 12, 2009, 12:38:17 PM »

Oh I do more than count, I keep track of every single one of them. http://gameinventory.googlepages.com.

QFT, shouldn't he have had something to say in here by now? I'm pretty sure his collection of games/gaming stuff absolutely dwarfs everyone's collection.

I use the backloggery to track my games. I like to use the fortune cookie feature to pick random games I own to continue playing.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #37 on:** May 14, 2009, 06:41:46 AM »

The application I wrote to manage my games has a similar function. It looks like the Backloggery has a lot of cool stuff though. I've considered using other applications to manage my games, such as Gamepedia, but ultimately decided to keep using my application because it's much quicker and easier, and I have full control of the html output.

I know the feeling Mr. Jack, I fight the illness known as collectoritis myself. However, you have way more games than I do so I guess you're losing the battle more badly (plus I don't have much disposable income). I don't know where logic goes but sometimes there are things which I know I don't need but can't talk myself out of buying.

I doubt I've played half of the games I own, but I've no choice but to resign to the fact that I'll just never get around to them all.

It's always nice to see someone worse off than you are, I only own a couple hundred games but there's only 20 or 30 of them I haven't played and most of those were bought this year.

It isn't as bad as it might seem, since I enjoy simply owning games. So it isn't like I haven't gotten anything out of them.

I feel the same way. Also, if the industry crashes again I'll still be able to play games that are new to me for some time

I feel guilty when I have games unopened on my shelf. Wario Land and Sam & Max on Wii were unopened for close to a month because of my addiction to Okami and Rock Band/Guitar Hero.

...though, I DO have an unopened copy of Rayman 2 on the N64 that I found at a good deal a while back and haven't had a chance to play it. I almost don't want to open it because it is the first boxed (read, paper/cardboard boxed) game I've had in a long while and I kind of miss those since I saved them for the longest time when I was younger. I have a whole full wall book shelf filled with boxes of games for all manner of games and systems before my parents convinced me to get rid of them. I wish they hadn't convinced me

But I still have all the manuals and such!

It isn't very difficult to find a sealed copy of Rayman 2, so if you did open it you could always buy another. Or you could buy just the cartridge, it isn't a valuable game or anything so it is pretty cheap.

Stratos · « **Reply #45 on:** May 17, 2009, 04:32:50 PM »

I'm not the type of person that likes to buy multiple versions of games and stuff. I more get a kick out of opening up new games. Especially the old boxed ones. I love that New Game Smell.

Mop it up · « **Reply #46 on:** May 17, 2009, 04:44:39 PM »

You said you didn't want to open it, and if that's true, then you don't have to open it and can instead get another one. The option is there if you want it.

I don't like to have dupes of games either, I don't want to be a game hog. That would make one less copy of a great N64 game to go around, potentially depriving someone of the joy it could bring.

What collector number is on your box?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #48 on:** May 23, 2009, 12:12:58 PM »

I'm hopping on the Backloggery bandwagon. I'm tried of IGN's lame collection pages that never seem to work properly.

What's your name on there? I'd like to add NWR people to my friend list in Backloggery.
