Off Topic / So I'll be moving to a different state by end of year....

« on: February 22, 2023, 09:25:29 am »

Any tips on moving my entire collection? I have two wire racks with all my consoles hooked up and ready to play. Cable management is mint so I was thinking of just removing the consoles, switchers and rack mount power supplies and keep the cables on and just carefully strap it in the moving truck.

I used those black/yellow totes from Costco to move one city over and was thinking of buble wrapping everything and move it that way again.

My wife wants to hire a moving company and I rather not. Between the gaming collection, my FIL massive roll away toll box and my other hobby worth a lot too, I rather rent a u haul and do it myself.

Also if you have a snake, how did you transport it lol. It's an 8 hour drive.

Thanks

With my gaming set up, I like to use switchers and so on so I can play anything right away without having to switch cables out
I currently use this

I was about 10. My brother and I shared bunk beds. I was bout 10. I was in the top bunk. My parents walk in and my dad ask if I want a drink of milk. So I take a nice big gulp. It was buttermilk. I nearly spit in back in his face. I raced down my ladder and ran to the bathroom.

He still think it's funny to this day.

« on: May 27, 2016, 10:45:37 pm »

I need a list of about 20-25 good ones for a future show. and if you would like to come on and answer some of them (or rant) let me know. 

1. Aren't you a little to old to play video games?
2. If you like retro games so much, why not just download the ROMs?

And go.
