Thanks for the warm welcome =)

And I have to say, the mysterious asian man who sold me my virtual boy warned me not to store it with famicom carts after midnight, but what does he know anyways

Howdy Folks,

So after I almost broke the guidelines within 5 minutes of joining the site (thanks foxhack), I figured I better say hello.

I'm Tony from Chicago, IL and I'm about to be a dad in just a handful of weeks.  I don't know what would possess me to try to list my collection (Less than 500 of NES / SNES / GEN / PSX|3 / GC|WII / PC Games combined) at a time like this - maybe it's just that I want to appreciate it some before I don't get to spend any time with it for a few years.   Really though, I think I am just trying to get a handle on it so that I will spend more time playing and less time looking/remembering in the future.

I describe myself as a "player's collector" - What I have I play / use / read.  I do enjoy the hunt so I gather a bunch of stuff up, but If I don't want to use it I get rid of it.

I got here via r/gamecollecting, where I like to admire the "serious" collectors collections =p
