I've become much more quality over quantity lately. Originally I wanted to get as close to a full set of Game Boy games as possible and a full set of Saturn games. But it's just not feasible for me. I'm still debating on putting a lot together of my unwanted Saturn games and trimming it down to a "best of" collection.

Even my PS3 collection, which as grown by leaps over the last year is becoming super selective. Originally I wanted to get every PS3 exclusive title that was available. But honestly, not all of them look appealing to me. Instead of buying every game that is tagged "Only on PlayStation", I've found myself doing tons of research on them to see if it's something I'd enjoy playing.

Is this "TheFlea" the same as SpaceFlea I've seen on other forums?

Aw i feel special, Everyone wants me to make videos and I'm talking to someone about filming and maybe I'll make some videos on my collection one day. No I never went by the name SpaceFlea on any forums.

Spaceflea is on Sega Age and he is pretty much Sega only. He lives in Oklahoma actually and we have talked a few times.

I mainly respect individuals whose collections exhibit some kind of discernable taste, which doesn't apply to the Collect All the Things types most of the time. A friend of mine in NYC has a fantastic collection of games, mostly focused on Japanese platformers and RPGs, and Kimimi here on VGC has an absolutely staggering assortment of Chinese and Japanese games, along with an ever-growing lot of arcade boards.

I'm certainly not starstruck (sorry, Kimimi ^.^), but it's inspiring to see people like them who act almost like curators, carefully choosing what goes and doesn't go into their collections, while people who fill theirs with random crap seem more like compulsive hoarders. Quality over quantity wins out every time.
