General / Gaming Book Club!
« on: July 24, 2017, 10:19:57 am »
Hey y'all, I know I think I have talked about this with a few of you before but I finally have implemented my idea for a monthly gaming book club and I would love to invite all of you! Currently we are running it out of the unofficial reddit gamecollecting discord server and accepting suggestions for our two games we will play in August of this month. I know a lot of people here are loving the 52 game challenge that we started a couple years ago so what better way to play and discuss games with everyone than joining the club?

If you're interested in joining up just click here and check out the pinned posts by yours truly!

Hope you all have a great day :)

General / Secret Santa 2016 Loot Thread
« on: December 07, 2016, 06:55:00 pm »
Suggested and since I was the first one to make a post about it in the general thread I'll start this one up. Here is what I got! Thanks Santa!



Alright y'all, knowing my personality I could only looked at wrapped gifts for myself alone in my apartment so long before I cracked so I'll be the first to say I opened my package.

I LOVED it! Whoever got me in the secret santa did a great job! Got the perfect mix of games & goodies.

Looking at the wrapped objects I heard one rattling around, it sounded like mints in a container so I opened it first, and what do I find? Nintendo Power mints, very cool little collectible!

Next up were the two game case shaped gifts. These are a little easier to guess since I've had years of experience knowing what a wrapped DVD/game case looks like. I opened the first gift and it was Tales of Graces F! A great Tales of game that I have been looking for ever since I got into the Tales series again recently! Everything is in amazing condition.

Opening the other case I found another surprise, Tales of Zestiria! And this one was sealed! I have gone from a 1 game Tales backlog now to 3, so 2017 is going to be a Tales filled year for me that is for sure!

My most excited gift had to be the final one. Based on the wrapping it looked to be a GBA game and a manual. Being extremely careful not to rip the 'manual' while opening my gift I tore open the packaging to find ... a PS2 key ring. Arguably one of the coolest gifts I have received in recent memory and one I didn't even know existed. I'm not a big fan of Key Ring chains for my main set of keys but you better believe this thing is going straight on my gaming mantle as a keepsake, it is so cool (maybe even a future locked game room key could house this sucker).

Overall I had a great experience this year, weirdly enough being in this 2 years now I have only gotten actual games for the PS3 which I find funny. Whoever was my Santa rocked, yet still remains a mystery to me since no note or name was left with the gifts.

Thanks a bunch though Santa!!

General / Q4 Discussion Games Topic - Submit Here
« on: October 06, 2015, 11:33:39 pm »
Hey Y'all,

I know we had discussed having something like a 'VG Book Club' here before and we had a lot of issues. Well now I think I came up with a solution.

1. We do it over the course of a quarter (Oct - Dec)
2. We have multiple games we can talk about (Limited to a few maybe like 3-4)
3. We let you guys suggest games and then poll and see what our top 3 answers are.

If anyone is interested in that then please feel free to start suggesting games here. I'll take all of the suggestions and put them in a poll at the end of next week. (October 16th) and then we can start working on playing and discussing these games!

Titled Worlds Collide this comic mini-series is amazing and has SO MANY in-jokes. I bought all 3 off of amazon for about 30 dollars and its definitely worth the price, I finished reading them all in the span of 4 days. There is another series currently running entitled Worlds Unite that is even crazier and has even more capcom/sega references. Definitely check these 2 out if you have the time and are interested.

Worlds Collide: 1 2 3

Worlds Unite: 1 (Pre-Order)

General / If anyone wants new cases for their genesis games.
« on: July 27, 2015, 10:53:47 am »
From the guy who made the GB/C/A and new NES cases that came out 2 weeks ago are now genesis case repros.

As someone who got selected as a tester due to frequenting the forums I'm linking I can say these things are the real deal and indistinguishable from the actual genesis cases I own (just kidding, these ones look brand spanking new so they're better).

If anyone is interested in pre-ordering post in the forum post below!

General / Reproduction Carts?
« on: July 14, 2015, 11:21:23 am »
Does anyone have experience with these? I'm looking at one on etsy for an english translated GBA Fire Emblem game that was never released in the US. Are these types of things reliable or not?

With it being hot out y'all should be hitting up Flea Markets & Garage Sales now, show us what ya got this July.

General / Game Playing Club? (Like a book reading club)
« on: May 28, 2015, 12:55:26 pm »
Anyone fond of this idea? There are so many old games that I feel like I didn't get to play when everyone online/in the schoolyard was playing. I'd love to play a game along with a decent sized group where we can all talk and discuss strategies/cool things we found/what we liked and disliked. It would be very similar to book clubs you hear about.

  • 1 Game Per Month
  • A game we all agree upon/vote on beforehand
  • A discussion topic for the month, maybe a skype call or two to discuss?
  • We all determine stopping points so someone who has played the game won't just blast through it in 2 days. We use the whole month
  • No using walkthroughs, if you're stuck you have a bunch of people playing the game too. Act like its pre-internet days.
  • A fun new experience monthly

So what does everyone say? Who's in? If we get enough people who want in then we can shoot to start this for the month of June and vote in the next few days what game we would want to play.

The two have spoken. It's now may and its time to go out to flea markets and yard sales. Show us what you brought home!

General / VGC Official "Pick my next game for me" Thread
« on: April 08, 2015, 02:10:59 pm »
Hey everyone,

As I begin wrapping up Final Fantasy Tactics here I have no idea what game I should play next. So I'm gonna ask you all and start a thread where we can request others to select our next game to play. You can put any boundaries of what you want up next or what you will do (video reviews, etc). I plan on doing a written review for every game requested here once I complete it. So there we go. I'll submit my official request in the next post as to keep the OP clean if we want to modify it!

How are we supposed to know what games have already been played by the person doing the request?

Someone can provide a list or let you know if they have played it already. Or they can specify that in their post.
