I picked up a copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for PC for $2 yesterday. I also picked up the Outlaw Volleyball soundtrack for $1.

Today... I got a copy of Drunken Robot Pornography for free from the dev! Yes, it's a game. Imagine a bullet hell shooter redone as a first person shooter. With lots of humor. Your bartender (a robot) got drunk so he torched your bar, took 12 other robots, made giant bodies for them, and then they decided to start torching Detroit. And you're their owner. You have to stop them. That's the game!

Where do you keep them all? I have around 20, and I'm like "no more, I don't have the room!" (Although I still wouldn't turn down a Wii U.)

I also have a wife I have to share the house with, though.

I have a room that's pretty much wall to wall games, I have shelves all along just below the ceiling that displays some of them, and have several clear display cases that house many of the rarer stuff. Then I have a several shelves just over the HDTV that has most of the common used consoles.

Here's just a sample.

Very nice collection.

Not a very great game. It's like a more limited, smaller version of Order of the Phoenix.

I dunno, it was only two bucks.

I'm also ticked off a bit. Apparently we're supposed to be able to activate the game on Origin, but the key doesn't work. EA removed the game from their list of games that can be activated there so I think I just got boned.

That sucks.

Anyway I picked these up today from the local Gamestop, no idea how good Myth Makers is but it's an arcade racing game so figured I'd check it out. it was four used PS2 games for about 4€.

Man I wish my GameStops still stocked PS2 games.

Myth makers is a Mario kart clone ... doesnt play near as well. We got it for the Wii since it was basically 20% the price of Mario Kart Wii. Once we started playing, figured out why.

But if it was cheap, its okay.

Very impressive, Flea. It all looks very cramped, though.

I have my (measly) 15-20 consoles all hooked up to my T.V. on a shelf. It looks cramped, too. But your cramped looks like a lot more fun than mine.

Ya It kinda has to be, I need a bigger room to have everything a little less cramped. lol

It was like 1€ for each of them anyway so And the game looked fun on the box! I'll give it a chance.

I was at a GS I don't usually frequent today when I saw a complete copy of Atelier Meruru in excellent condition.  I probably would have held off if that had been all, because although I needed it for my collection I wasn't actively looking for it - but then I saw they also had the artbook stuck in the front of a blank case for a second used copy they had.  I grabbed the artbook, put it with the complete copy & used a 20% off coupon to get it for $22 after tax.  I thought that was a pretty good deal.

Matt, our friend Jeremy (jerermy on vgc) and I went out to a bunch of game stores today. I ended up snagging a few titles off of my wishlist, a couple of which replace games I'd previously traded off. A couple look like they had cases swapped w/ Sports games (holo sticker), which will need goo gone to help remove. But they had years of stickers all over them too so they'll all need cleaning up. I snagged the following:

PS2 - These put me 5 away from 100 PS2 games!

Alter Echo
Crazy Taxi
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2
Mad Maestro
Ring of Red
State of Emergency
Virtua Fighter 4
War of the Monsters
Xenosaga
Xenosaga II


3DS

Resident Evil: Revelations (Typo on Spine)



We also discovered a variant in the field. Apparently there is a copy of City Crisis for PS2 that has no game title on the spine. All in all it was a fun day! I feel like I made out really well. All this stuff cost about the price of a new current gen game.

First of all grats to Scott for almost getting 100 ps2 games, I hit my 1000th game last year.
Ring of Red is a great game btw, one of those hidden gems.

Here's my pick-ups for the week. Including a new rare console.

PSP
- Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner
- Hexyz Force
(These 2 games are shooting up in price so I grabbed them up)

3DO
- Brain Dead 13 (just missing long box)

SNES
- Blues Brothers

SFAM
- Cho Aniki  (CIB)
(after buying Cho Aniki on PS1 I discovered a fighting version of this weird game.)

And last picked up a Sears Video Arcade II, Its was the last of the Sears Atari 2600's. Gotta love the joysticks and paddles built into one. 



I just got another extremely rare game console that I got for less then a tenth of the going price I've seen it go for. what is it? I'll post it a picture when I get it.

Thanks! Ring of Red wasn't even on my radar, but Matt suggested it and it was only 3 bucks, so I couldn't go wrong... There were so many more than I saw that I wanted to snag. But I had to reign myself in a little bit. haha
