Episodes
What do you remember as the greatest memories you had with physical media? We talk about it tonight.
Should you keep them sealed or open them? That's the question we want to talk about: the pros and cons of keeping collectibles sealed!
Well, I predicted this after Sony made their announcement about doing away with physical games. I said I hope I was wrong, but it turns out I wasn't! We talk about it tonight!
Is there a system that you were so excited for, and then when you got it, you had buyer's remorse? Maybe the company hyped it up too much? We talk about it today!
Is it the end of video game collecting as we know it? With the announcement of Sony and Microsoft on the end of physical disks in 2028 the end of video game collecting for physical? We talk about it here!
Collecting for games we had and remembered as a kid can be fun, but is it worth it's weight in gold? Or better yet the inflated prices we now pay for games that are just NOT good games? Do our game memories hold up 30+ years later?
Owning video games this day in age comes with a cost? Buying modern games and "collecting" them may not be a smart idea. Retro may be the way to go. No updates, no downloads, just gaming. The cost with modern games might be never getting a full return on your investment for a code on a disk. We talk about it in this episode!
We have come back from CORGSCON, and we give our thoughts and opinions based on what we experienced. Plus much, much more!
Lots of things to talk about: new sponsorship, PlayStation State of Play, Corgscon, and more!
Collecting used to be easy. We used to be able to go to Goodwill, pawnshops, and other mom-and-pop shops to get retro games very cheaply. What happened? We talk about it today!
Ever get a deal that was too good to be true? You thought, when you get home, you're going to find out it probably was. BUT then it wasn't? We talk about it tonight!
I know there are certain consoles I have been collecting for, that I wish I held on to as a kid. Games that the prices have gone through the roof or even have become rare. Are there any you regret?
Have you wanted to start collecting retro? Do you like every console? Are you unsure which console or platform makes sense? We are going to talk about ways to help you get started on your collection journey.
When do you slow down collecting? Do you do it when your room is full? Or is it after you stopped collecting?
Tonight's episode will be a little different. We want to talk about the best ways to buy video games, at stores, conventions, you name it! We also want to talk about the Neo Geo AES+ and how exciting this is for the Retro Game Community!
Tonight's episode will be a little different. A lot has happened since the last show. I hit a new milestone of 14,500 subscribers and lost my YouTube channel! That's right, it got hijacked and because of MY stupidity! How did this happen? Well, we are going to talk about it and talk about how I got it back!
These stories and issues happen more than once. Going to conventions, dealing with resellers, it's bound to happen. HORROR stories. We talk about them tonight!
Have you ever gotten so involved in collecting that you become a shelf collector because you don't have time to play games? Has anyone ever told you that? Do you want to be able to play games, not just sit them on your shelf? We discuss this today. What We’re Covering: The Games: Are localizations and content "adjustments" ruining the original vision, or are they necessary for modern audiences? The Community: How much moderat...
Do you want to build a game room? Not just any game room, but a MASTER gameroom? We talk about how you can make your game room the best it possibly can be!
Have you debated about selling your video game collection? When is a good time to sell? Did you fall on hard times? Do you just not want to collect anymore? We'll talk about this tonight!
