How to pick up girls: Buy this Japanese Cat game, show most any cute girl this game and they will fall in love with it just from the cover alone and maybe they will play the game with you. Maybe. lol
Every Girl I showed that game to wanted to steal it from me.


My Black Friday Pick ups.


This PS4 keeps wanting to force choke me. 


And finally the last pick ups of the year. My VGCollect Secret Santa gift and some CDi Awesomeness.

Well That took a LOOONNNNGGGG time to put up, I hope you guys enjoyed looking over and reading the comments I made. I didn't make this post to "Show Off" (okay maybe a little) but more to show you just how I made my collection as big as it is. I love my hobby and I love to share it with others who also have the love and passion of video games.
I have even welcomed and offered other collectors to join me on my hunts, most don't want to get up early enough to join me. But a few times they have and its a fun time. I even met a couple VGCollector's this year, put a face to the name.

I've had a great year as far as my collection and had many other blessings in my life, I also had some down points. My dad past away this year, He was a Father to not only me and my brothers but to many who where just friends of our family. My Grandfather bought me my first game console, my Dad got me my second and I still remember playing Frogger with my dad at the age of 7 and he could not get his frog across the street. Every time I talked about video games he always brought that up how he could never get that frog across the street. I am who I am today because of him and my granddad. You are both missed, I love you guys.

Through my passion I meet many new faces who also love the hobby, I know I'm not alone doing what I love.
Hope everyone has a great 2016 and everyone finds that one game this year that will forever be in their memories and even better if its with someone you love. Make some great gaming memories this year guys. Here's to meeting some new faces, Happy 2016.
