Jeff's Sick Day: A Blurry Extravaganza!

Sometimes, when you're suppressing a cough with copious amounts of over-the-counter medicine, the only thing to do is dig through some boxes.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one seeing that, I thought for a second I was going crazy.

I'd like to hear more about these BLTs.

Forget the "Barely Legal Teen Queen of the Month" I think he had a House Rules sign on the wall for a strip club in there. I think it said Little Darlings? I'm probably learning more about Jeff than I ever really wanted to.

If I had a collection like that I'd build an additional large cement and steel room with plenty of shelving. And of course living in New Orleans, this room would have to be raised or on a second story.

I don't even want to think about all the shit I lost in Katrina that I've been blocking out of my mind for the past 6 years or so.

Jeff, build a gigantic filing cabinet the size of a room you don't need; categorize all the games and put them away.   In your case I suggest a large cabinet.   Also, have you ever thought of selling some of your games?   I've traded in only a handful and I know the importance of having a game you can just pull out and have fun with but if you wanna do that, you'll have lost your momentum to play by the time you dig out and set up your console.   Maybe you should sell your duplicate copies and games already included on compilations.

Niiiicee. I had one of those non-Dual Shock PS1 controllers, so id definitely did come out in the States. I remember you could also use it to emulate the the PS1 Dual Joystick, which was also a crazy thing. Apparently it was Descent was amazing with it.

We know you're extremely dedicated to bringing us news and delicious quicklooks but now.. Now you need a break. Take it, Jeff. Drink tea, ingest cold medicine, but most importantly - chill the fuck out! Even if just a few days.

What does that sign say? "Sex is.." Sex is what!?

I think it may have read "Sexist" since the rest of the poster seemed to have been cut off. He might have been protesting the Darlings gentlemen's club that the purple sign was from. ^_^

And by protesting, he was fighting for his right to dance.

Ohmygosh, I'll take that box of original Xbox games off your hands! If you give me a fair price I'll... let's play them with live commentary! Each and every one of them! And... you can put that content on your site to get viewers..?? No, wait, this is.. this is getting really horrible, nevermind...
 
I do freaking love last-gen console games, though. And there's still tons of them out there that I haven't played, and most likely never will because they didn't review well enough for anyone to remember they existed and thus I can't find used copies of them...

I recommend going with warehouse/archive style shelving. Floor to ceiling, shelves on each wall plus a central one through the middle of the room, each one about 2ft deep so you can fit the bulky stuff as well.

And take all your old hardware to the office and get Vinny, Drew and Dave to restore them and set them up as permanent reference machines :D

@Scarlet_Rogue: Pilates Rodeo, you sit on one of those big exercise balls with no hands or feet touching the floor until you roll off. It's funny as hell to watch.

With Jeff it's his job, but everyone else who doesn't trade games in should really chuck their boxes. There's no point in keeping them when the companies that made most of those games are long gone. It's like worshipping the dead.

4x4 CD wallets are the solution. And think about it, how many manuals are actually worth having - Red Dead for the map? Street Fighter for the move list?

Since his job is to play and review games he can buy what he wants and get the money back as a tax write off.
