Ron Jeremy with a PSA for collectards
Ron Jeremy with a PSA for collectards
Uh yeah, we post at another board in the past or on irc? I was there a couple years at the dawn of the PS2/GC era of consoles, then was part of the online media for another 3-4 after that before I dropped out of it. My brother stuck around though, worked his way up to producer and still does it currently with that superfight game.
Sounds familiar. I haven't been in that trap for 2 years as it is. We didn't get along well. I believed people had a right to do what they want with their property they paid for and would help people restore and improve the quality of their goods. They felt that by order of the site there, no one was allowed to do stuff without their permission and they would ravage people on and OFF site for trying to improve existing old product because all they cared about was the monetary value of the collection, not the actual game itself. If you weren't willing to pay up enough to get it how you wanted it, you were somehow inferior and evil for trying other ways to make things better without breaking the bank.
Wow you're here too hi ChuChu. :P Yeah that guy sucks, complete hoarder. You never 'need' more than one physical copy of a game unless you have issues. Want sure, need, no. COuld be worse, you have the 2nd runner up showboat Robin over there they look up to as the 3rd placer at the NWC who has a huge wall of games and he plays nothing but Tetris. It's like an old house back in the day having a huge library to look smart and rich, yet never pulling one book off that shelf ever other than to look at the cover. All that lost usefulness gone to a hoarder.
After a discussion on a French forum about the rarity of a sealed Goldeneye game (PAL FR version), supposedly unique, I opened a copy in front of a member.Ron Jeremy called me a collectard.
I remember buying a sealed Rockman X3 for Saturn when I was in Japan that I found in a little shop for around only $15, and I opened and played it when I was drinking. I still have nightmares.
There's a guy I looked kind of up to in a specific way over at NA, wizard over there made 3 videos that put collectards of NES stuff into a borderline frothing epileptic seizure. He bought up VGA or normally sealed games of Gun-Nac, Stinger and Panic Restaurant, the third opened at a show if I recall in front of shattered collectards... all 3 opened up to be used, the third cracked open at a show with people not being very happy to say the least about it. You know, since it's offensive to buy shit and use it as advertised. The stuff is (was?) up on youtube too.
I found the one for Stinger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnQaUgPnY8w
And Panic Restaurant!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydGeU0Q4i_Y
And the best yet -- UN-VGA'ing Gun-nac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psZN6GHtZ0c&feature=player_embedded
...and like all plastic it went into the trash after being opened up he said over on the site. This got some very mixed responses you can imagine.
The comments about people freaking out over the way things are handled reminded me of some thoughts I had recently. Certain Sega CD games are getting retarded in pricing, and I bought most of the "rare" games back when nobody gave a shit about Sega CD. I hate the long cases, so I have them stuck in storage while I have all the CDs in a Case Logic CD binder. Lunar, Snatcher, Popful Mail, loose in a $10 CD binder. I bet someone would go into a rage.
But it makes it infinitely easier to actually play the game.
