With the rise of digital, what does the future hold for video game conventions? Will it be pop culture? 3D prints? artwork? Let's talk about it!
Today we talk about what makes the ultimate gaming convention. Is it cost? Venders?
Today we're talking about those family vacations, road trips, and handhelds. What handhelds did you play with on those trips? What games?
We have game nights weekly, most weekends. These are some of the cool things we do and fun things we do. What games do you like to play for family game nights? We discuss it in this episode.
Have you seen the price of retro games or video games in general? An already small space is getting smaller. Can people afford to keep collecting, or dare I say, even play? We discuss it tonight!
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?
