What precautions do you take to preserve your games? - Page 2

Oh, and on this subject, I have all my games sitting in boxes currently. I am going out to buy a nice shelf to keep them in just like when I was back at home growing up. I swear I thought I was THE BOMB because I had all these adventure game titles on my little shelf. I'm sure nobody gave a shit but I sure did. And today, I still gaze at my game collection and it gives me a nice juicy feeling.

Don't laugh but I've actually pondered putting them in cryogenic suspension.

Why, so you can revive them later when the technology allows it?

no! so I can show the games of tomorrow their ancestral roots! The new generation of games will be real life functioning entities able to learn and grow AND, might I add, able to continually upgrade their user experiences!

remixor · 11-10-2003, 01:49 PM

Then give me all your original boxes!

Really? The bomb? I've always felt like a complete nerd for having games nobody knew of or cared about.

And if some potential female finds out about my unnecessary gaming habits (Among other things...) I'm in deep trouble.

I'm getting a bit off-topic here but what do you mean by a 'potential female' ?

Or is there something about yourself that you're not telling us..?

And its not about the lesser-known(read Extremely Rare) games but games in general.I take immense pride in my 'hobby' and my collection.And if some 'potential female' considers me a nerd for possessing them..then I can easily give her the old Heave-Ho..if you know what I mean..

One word: Febreze.

Then it'll be soggy and smell like crap! Fantastic!

(well, it does work on cloth, i'll give you that...)

I don't care about pollution

That's my solution

Or was it a reference to something else, non Goin' Mobile related?

remixor · 11-12-2003, 03:48 PM

Watch the po-lice and the tax men miss me!

I have no idea how that relates to twif's post. How'd you make the connection, AGA?

Anyway, turns out that's about my least favorite song on the album (although considering how awesome that album is, that's not saying much).
