Your collection is probably bigger than mine, but I definitely felt unburdened by getting rid of them. <br /><br />Somehow though, I have been unable to part with my NES. Despite owning it since 1988, I feel like I haven't experienced the full potential of the system yet.gogogoldberghttp://www.twitter.com/gogogoldbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-62061313841038516112010-09-29T14:10:08.039-04:002010-09-29T14:10:08.039-04:00Actually, now that I think about it, it's not ...Actually, now that I think about it, it's not quite my entire collection, just the PS1 and prior stuff. Still, it's good to get rid of all those Sega CD cases and SNES carts - they just eat up space.Sketczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333200178515493705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-56801892872505506462010-09-29T14:08:49.550-04:002010-09-29T14:08:49.550-04:00I intend to move to a smaller place sometime in th...I intend to move to a smaller place sometime in the new year, which won't be able to comfortably hold everything I have, and when I asked my parents if they could house all my stuff, the emphatic answer was they'd only managed to oust my collection a few years ago and weren't going to act as storage for it in the future.<br /><br />Nothing I sold can't be bought back later if I wish. Besides which, my Xbox covers all my gaming needs up to the PS1 era, so along with my Saturn, N64, 3DO, CD-i, DC, PS2 and PS3, I'm all set. As it is I have too much, but it's now less.Sketczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333200178515493705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-9996267533049077462010-09-29T00:00:39.918-04:002010-09-29T00:00:39.918-04:00I have caught up to WAHP and I agree that this mos...I have caught up to WAHP and I agree that this most recent episode was great. Where else would you find out that you can get an imported Japanese game on Xbox Indies for $1 (besides NeoGAF)?<br /><br />As for the 8-4 podcast, the folks there are still finding their voice. Most of them are veteran podcasters, but their material has largely focused on TGS so far. Given time, they will definitely come into their own. It's a different take on Japanese gaming compared to WAHP, but it is no less valuable. They also have the pull to get people like Garnett Lee, Shane Bettenhausen, and Ryan Peyton to sit down and chat casually with them. Give them time and they will prosper.<br /><br />P.S.- What prompted the retro game firesale?gogogoldberghttp://www.twitter.com/gogogoldbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-91384862439065663442010-09-28T12:24:08.178-04:002010-09-28T12:24:08.178-04:008-4 Play is bad (though the second episode wasn...8-4 Play is bad (though the second episode wasn't as bad as the first).<br />WAHP is great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
