Need to update my list a bit...
1. Reach over 2000 items in my collection.
2. Purchase (boxed) NES, SNES and N64 systems.
3. Not buy a single "new" EA game except Garden Warfare 2. I hate supporting this company and their shenanigans.
4. Get an import copy of Bloodborne - The Old Hunters (since Asia actually got physical copies)
5. Custom shelves. I plan to use a Dremel to carve/etch the name of the system that the games are for on a piece of wood mounted to the top. It will be fun. So when you look at the shelf of (say) PS2 games, it will have the "PlayStation 2" logo across the top.
6. Finally finish taking pictures and cataloging all the various posters, promos, standees and other assorted swag I have.
7. Have enough aluminum cans saved up that when I cash them in, I can buy a brand-new game or pay off a preorder.
8. Have enough change saved up to buy a brand-new game or pay off a preorder.
9. Find more rare & unusual PlayStation items that were not for sale.
10. Keep playing games with my girls. I see a lot of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 in my future...
Since I bounce back & forth all the time and change my mind often, I sat down and really, really thought about what my goals for 2016 should be. 2015 was like a big party for me-at least as far as games go. But with everything that happened this year such as my well pump crapping out, my house being bombed by softball sized hail resulting in me having to have new windows, shingles and siding put on
on top of my wife going out of work on disability and subsequently losing about $900 a month (due to higher insurance costs and the difference between her disability and what she made while working), I think 2016 will be a much, much lighter year for me. And I'm fine with that. So with that said...
1. Reach over 2000 items in my collection (should be easy since I'm only 45 or so away)
2. Keep collecting cheap back issues of Game Informer to try and complete the collection.
3. Not buy any EA games besides Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 new (because, y'know...EA sucks)
4. Finish taking pictures and cataloging all my various posters & other swag (probably another 100 items right there)
5. Keep playing games with my girls, because we all like the games and it's time together.
6. Save up enough aluminum cans to pay off a preorder (ended up with $30 worth I cashed in this year)
7. Save up enough change to pay off a preorder (should be pretty easy).
8. Work on custom shelf toppers for each system.
9. Focus on the PS4 games I want this year.
10. Peruse yard sales, garage sales, storage/flea markets and junk stores for super-cheap old stuff I can buy for around a buck.
