    Default Yes this here is a true a room of DOOM with no more room.

    One day I'll be as neat and as organized as you guys.

    /sarcasm off

    I posted pictures of one of my collection rooms on myspace. You wouldn't believe what the basement looks like. No one ever believes me when I tell them that X item is buried and I don't know where it is. Boxes to the ceiling almost to the door. Closet is also quite full.

    Picture from hallway



    Picture of closet



    Yes it brings true meaning to room of doom.

    You really have no idea...thats 1 room. Basement is the worst but every room is bad. I had over 10,000+ empty sega/snes/gboy boxes in the basement amoung tons of other things and DreamTr kept IMing me to find him the 3 or 4 boxes he needed. I sent him pictures of the basement but he kept on asking. Gotta give the guy A an for effort.

    Never, EVER let the post office see either of those pictures!!

    goodness, what all stuff is in there? do you have some main area of collecting focus, or is it all just random game stuff you got at garage sales?

    I've been collecting since the 90's and most of it is boxed or sealed cardboard boxed games. Theres a ton of protos here as well. Also quite a few sealed systems as I tried to get one of each box variation. There must be over 10 different gamecubes. For the most part I just buy US stuff.

    1. You are the sole reason why the PO won't give out free boxes or tape anymore!

    2... I don't really get this kind of collecting. It isn't collecting, it's amassing. How is that fun?

    Man, I feel A LOT better about how messy my collection has become. Do you have any sort of collection list? If you do, how do you update and keep it straight? Has your collection always been this crazy even when you started in the 90's, or did you just lose control over it one day and this is the result? Crazy stuff man....

    Good lord! I hope nothing has died in there because it would take forever to find it!

    My Collection - Well, kinda. One of these days I will actually get a pic of the whole collection and post it on there. Until then, I only have a few games in there with some additional collection info stuff.

    It is written that one day the video games of the world will grow tired of their oppressors. That they will unite and overthrow the players of the land. Their headquarters, in all of its glory, is in Buyatari's basement.

    man an awesome part of collecting stuff is seeing what you have in my opinion. And that just looks like no fun lol. you should make a HUGE like 50X50 room and put EVERYTHING on display. Now that would be sweet! tons of shelves, display cases.

    I wish it was that easy. I have a 5 bedroom house. If you count the basement and the attic there are 5 floors. Other than our bathrooms,dining room, bedroom and the babys room all the other rooms are filled with games. We had to turn the dining room into our living room because I filled the the 2 living rooms. I also have storage off site.

    I see something I want and I buy it. Often I'm not even sure if I have it already. I'm sick man, sick.

    buyatari, you have GOT to organize a cleaning/sorting party one of these days. I'd volunteer, I'm sure others would too.

    The real problem is lack of a staging area to do any real sorting. You think its a mess, just imagine the scene when I die and my wife puts it all on the tree lawn.

    Dude...kudos for a big collection (God, I knew it was big, but DAMN), but it's definitely a big problem...you can't even enjoy your stuff or even look at it.

    I seriously think you should have a party with a bunch of people you trust and just inventory every damn item. Invest in some shelves...maybe shelves on wheels so you can move them around to get at stuff.

    You've got to sell yoff your duplicate items, man. There's no way that at least 30% of that stuff isn't dupes!

    It's just gonna get worse, man. I would seriously consider making your second hobby other than collecting (well, and playing when you can) organizing your stuff.

    It's sad you can't enjoy your collection man. I swear I'd help you out if I lived closer!
