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.

It's always a little impressive to me at how knowledgeable the guys are with games. I do not envy Jeff having all that stuff taking so much space though.

Don't keep stuff you don't play or care about anymore. As much as I regret all of those game purges I've done in my life, I was at least down to the essential games and systems. Hell, most of that stuff I sold I was able to buy again if I REALLY missed it on a digital platform.

I like gaming as a hobby, but like so many others, it becomes a huge mess and a waste of space.

Jeff should take a bunch of this stuff that he knows isn't going to be worth a lot and make some cool collages to hang on the walls. CD's and cases and stuff. Could be cool.

Was the Military CDTV title what you sampled on the Midnight Brown song "Deadly Electric"? What is with the "Pilates Rodeo" sign, or the sign that says "SEX IS"?

Jeff. You have too much fucking shit. There's probably a small handful of stuff in there that's cool, weird and valuable, (Mega Man 9 poster, Vice City rubiks cube), but the rest of it. Trash it or sell it.

If I even got up to a fifth of what Jeff has I would freak the fuck out.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but I've never heard of a group of full grown adults who get "sick" or "sore" as much as the GB crew. I only imagine taking something is crazy sounding as a sick day at this point in my life.

@Peanut: Well, you only have to look at them to realise they all live very unhealthy lifestyles. Add that to constant travel to meet the types of people that attend gaming conventions and its a concoction for constant illness

This is far from hoarding, he actually cares about the condition of it, and is passionate about it. Thats just a collector. An enthusiast. I'm oldschool and still buy COMPACT DISCS and will always prefer actual copies of things. When you spend alot of your money on this stuff its nice to have something to show for it. I'm 30 and have a shitton of music cd's and memorabilia and stuff and will every now and then go through it all and remember the good times. 15 years from now, are kids still going to be clinging onto some dodgy old itunes database? Still have the concert tickets from the '96 pantera show in my aussie tour edition of trendkill. Never gonna let that go!

Having actual items is awesome. You can pry my release day uncensored GTA3 from my cold dead aussie hands!

Now let's play the "what weird thing did you catch a glimpse of" game.

Whatever that sign in the top left of his wall of games is. "SEX IS " something, couldn't make out the rest of it.

Weird. I'm on sickleave as often as possible without raising suspicions. Who the fuck wants to go to work if they can stay at home and sleep?

If some really important shit isn't going down at work and I don't feel 100%, you can bet your ass I won't go to work. That being said, if some important shit is going down (monthly invoicing/reporting etc.) then I'll go even if I'm sick. It's a give and take relationship.

I've been waiting for a video like this since Jeff started the Jar videos. I must see every little bit of the crazy awesome crap squirreled away in that house.

Also: Ryan make one of these next!! :D
