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.

Well he's obviously attached to the old junk and most of the new stuff is probably review copies/press swag. From what I know, it is generally considered unethical for journalists to sell that stuff.

Alternatively Jeff, you could create a library like environment where you have shelves in the middle of the room with little aisles for you to walk through and find you games. That way you're not limited to having the shelves on the side of the walls.

I think videos like this need to be FAR more frequent!! I'd love to see a Cribs:Giant Bomb style...

I think so too. It'd actually be cool to see an update every now & then after he sorts this stuff out, see more of Jeff's collection that way, see how he deals with the next generation of game consoles coming in and taking over his current gen organized shelves.

This sounds like a great idea. He could even use drawers to store some games. He could even get some mobile shelves to get even more space http://www.compactsystems.com.au/products/Compactus-Mobile-Shelving-System.html

Surely there's some sort of statute of limitations on that kind of stuff. I say when a generation of hardware dies, it's up for grabs. Jeff, sell some of that shit. At least the stuff you're not attached to.

You guy probably should do something with Amiga. My understanding is, that is was never as popular in the States than it was in Europe. I'd love to see some Turrican, It came from the desert, Pinball Fantasies, Moonstone, Chaos Engine, and stuff like that on Giantbomb. :)

Good to know Jeff found a way to validate that he isn't going insane by turning on a camera when he decides to talk to himself as he cleans out his game horde.

If Jeff had some tremendous eBay video game fire-sale I'm sure he could make enough money to kick his roommate out & still comfortably cover the rent for a while.

When the green starts to dry up that will just give him impetus to find & hastily move-in a boy/girlfriend.

Adult thing to do?

What it do, Turbografx?

when I was in elementary school, my class was given an assignment to write... hmm, I don't remember what it was supposed to be exactly; the important part is that I wrote "TurboGrafx" in it for some reason. When I received it back from my teacher, I noticed she crossed out the word and corrected it with red ink as "Turbo Graphics". :p

GODDAMN. Thats a lot of games. If I have more than 10 tens on my shelf, then I just shake my head and go trade some in. But to be fair, I think differently about films, whereas there, I have a decent amount of blu rays.

I always wanted to know who the 101.7 FOX fan was. I work for the company in the office where that was broadcast out of. Now we broadcast shitty top 40 from that channel. Good thing we have 4 other stations there.

Oh man, Jeff could make an awesome child's play donation with his duplicates. Actually forget Jeff, I could probably make an awesome child's play donation with my own meager collection.

I'll probably run into the same space and stuff issue that he's having, if I don't do something.

Just give me a week in that room with an unlimited IKEA budget and it would be a very neat room. 5 days for the work, 2 days to sit around and "play" The Illustrated Bible on CDTV.

The perfect companionpiece to the Jar-time videos and more of what the community want to see, creepy as it may be to be spying in on someones private home. But thats just the thing with Jeff. Always so open about his gaming-life.

As someone whos been stalking Mr Gerstmann since ""the beginning"" I guess I've seen bits and pieces of this before but its fascinating seeing so much of this collection at once, especially when you compare it to your own. I glanced over to my own 360/Ps3 collection more than once during this and luaghed at the ALMOST 3 shelves in my bookshelf that it takes up. I can't decide if I'm the crazy person for getting rid of too much gaming stuff or if Jeff is just a crazy hoarder, but I'm pretty sure it's the first one.

Also I have not regretted getting rid of ALL of my old, big sized PC boxes this much before. Guuuh. It might be a hazzle when it gets to that extreme breaking point but man, it's really not worth getting rid of so much gaming history for some small bucks or just a sudden urge to get rid of older things in your life. Gah Regret I tell ya, regret!

Keep your gaming stuff kids!
