We're all going to die.

[MyTurnToPlay]

Pretty obvious right? We all know this by now. Sooner or later, each of us will be a rotting corpse somewhere. So what the hell does this have to do with video games?!? Good question. Well...I know a lot of you guys have valuable collections. Not only valuable, but also rare and unique items that you keep safely protected in your closet or whatever other places you've got them stored.

My question is: What will happen to your collection when you die? You got a Will somewhere to specify what happens to it?? Some big master plan?? Will little Johnny from the neighborhood get lucky and take all your toys after you die?

I've only got a nes/snes with 32 games total. So when my time comes, I could give a rat's behind what happens to them. Let it be a free for all or something...may the best man win and take what he can. But what about you guys??

thank you.

P.S. If you die and happen to own Earthbound, can I have it?

thanks again.

I'm going to buried with my games. Yup. Even Earthbound- sorry MTTP.

[wingzrow]

Donate it to a friend to keep the dream alive, or piece it out online. It's definitely not going to waste.

[exit]

I'm going to have my collection burned in a pit of fire, afterwards I will be buried in that very pit.

[Baloo]

I plan on opening up my own video game store, and actually using my collecting as stock. Some may think this is stupid or impractical, but I don't play most of my games, they're better off being sold to someone who will enjoy them.

good job genius. You actually missed the entire point of this thread. How do you expect to open up a store when you're dead??

And could everyone else please stop giving me bullsh*t answers. I'm being serious. Let's say tomorrow some drunken bastard mows you down and you die. This happens tomorrow, not 1 year from today, not ten years from now....but tomorrow. What will happen to your collection then???? I'm assuming most of you will have your stuff ransacked and looted?? Or do you have a Will/legal document ready. And don't give me that "my children will inherit it" because we all know 90% of the people on these forums don't have a gf and will never get married.

thank you.

You first. Then I'll tell you.

It does seem fitting that Earthbound... in fact be Earth-bound.

My collection will be seized no less than weeks, if not months, after my death since I live alone and it would be at least that long before someone questioned my whereabouts. And, since I will likely die at home (on the crapper or some other pathetic way), the putrid scent of decaying flesh will imbue every item of my collection - rendering it valueless.

Is that real enough for you...

Bravo, good sir!

Anyway, my son and/or wife will inherit them. And yes, I actually already have a son and wife. It's hardly the "scaling Mt. Everest" of achievements you seem to think it is.

[heybtbm]

Double post.

[heybtbm]

I guess my wife would keep everything and let my kids play with it once they get old enough.

we all know 90% of the people on these forums don't have a gf and will never get married.

A clear case of Projection.

It pleases me to think that the Earthbound thread broke MTTP and threads like these are the result.

In my case, because I don't have much money and a big dept, all my computers, consoles and videogames will probably be taken away by the bank and that's it... I may be still alive when I'll see that. Too bad for Coleco fans waiting for my future ColecoVision games to be released.

[NME]

Well, normally my plan would be to rise from the dead and eat your brain. However, for obvious reasons, this would not be possible with you.

In before the lock (trust me, it is coming, I see it).

I am going out E.T. for 2600 style. Take my body and all of my games and just dump them in a landfill somewhere to later be discovered and then they have to crush everything.

Either that or I don't want to be buried, but stuffed and mounted inside of my arcade machine and then donate my arcade machine to somewhere nice, like a kindergarten or preschool. I will rig up the monitor so that it shifts down pimp my ride style so you think you are going to be playing some Die Hard Arcade but NOPE, you get to stare at dead stuffed and mounted SegaAges right in the eyes instead. Take that preschoolers

I'm guessing my wife would sell my collection, so someones going to be getting some good deals because she has no idea what it's all worth.

If i go when I plan to go, or if I get cancer, I plan to sell everything before I die, because obviously there is no reason to keep it, doubt my kids will want all this old shit.

I'll be sure to mail you remnants of my copy of Earthbound, just post your address somewhere in this thread please.

As for my collection, haven't planned it out, maybe to one of my brothers. I do have a friend who collects, but he treats some of his stuff like shit.

I thought this, too, except for the fact that the other Earthbound goofthreads seem to be surviving...but now that someone else foresees a lock, I might as well be safe and get myself in before it, too.
