   Great collection Forrest, rather than “pile of shame” I prefer to label those games as the “work in progress” library section. Great to see your Phat silver PS2 on show at the ready, and I bet that Vice City isn’t too far away chomping at the bit either! ;)
   Props to all the fastest platinum guys, I think I’d be happy just to get a platinum these days, but keep getting distracted by the huge choice of new releases before committing to get the final few trophies of the previous game :P

     Haha – I wondered if anyone would spot that lurking down in the corner! There were a few things that i deliberately chose not to mention (mainly as they weren’t worth mentioning, but also to see what the more observant of us managed to pick up on)! :)

     Truth is, that is in fact the wife’s PS2, as mine was sold (along with all the games) to assist with my PS3 purchase. So sadly for me, no Vice City.

     This is why a HD remaster is so greatly desired… Nay, NEEDED. ;)

     Not to worry dude, I’m sure that one day we’ll get to see Vice re-mastered in HD for our console delight and that you’ll be able to own it forever….or until the black box melts. Meanwhile though, looking forward to some GTA V goodness Vice-esque!

       From my point of view, they would be a little silly if they didn’t at least do one remaster & see how the tide went, as i am pretty sure that people would be jumping over each other to get at it.

       I know i would be & i can think of a fair few others that would be more than interested too.

       Of course with development on GTA 5 well under way, i doubt that they have the resources to put into something like that, but as we have seen with other HD collections, some other devs can do a decent job with bringing your product ‘up to date’.

   that pile of games, not alphabetised.
   how can anybody live like that. O_O

   nice collection though.

   what’s that plastic thing next to the joypad?
   oh right, it’s the U Draw pad.
   you bought that?

   well that accounts for like, a third of the sales, right? ^_^

   i can’t see me ever getting a fastest platinum, getting one at all would be an achievement, sorry, i mean trophy. ^_^

   what about a leaderboard for most trophies without getting a platinum?
   i could do well on that one. ^_^

     @hazelam

     The alphabetisation is something that disturbs me, but space is more the issue in relation to that. You see, i started with just the rack (& you may have noticed that at least is still alphabetised), but the trouble is that my buying habits deemed the big horizontal pile next to it necessary & my playing habits (constantly swapping games) mean that it is next to impossible to keep it in alphabetical order for anything more than 5 minutes.

     Well, that & the fact that i have become very lazy in my old age! ;)

     As for the peripheral, you are absolutely correct in saying that it is the uDraw tablet – I quite fancied seeing if my drawing was still up to scratch (it isn’t) & for a tenner, i thought it was worth a shot. To be fair, its actually not too bad, just not worth the £70 (or whatever) that they were trying to charge for it!

   Nice collection of games! You should never get bored lol

   This week the amazon black Friday sales have resulted in the hunger games trilogy (bought for second time) and spy hunter on Vita. Also a few printer cartridges. My money is dwindling short.

   Great setup Forrest, I’m glad I aren’t the only one with a stack of games which aren’t close to being finished. Will have to sort my own out for this

    Nice collection Forrest, i have a similar story with unfinished games – some games i can’t put down until i’ve completed them but many games get pushed aside in favour of a newer release….. ie so long AC3, hello Hitman Absolution.. Ah well, i figure i’ll have plenty of games to keep me busy whenever i retire.. :)

      Yeah, i have always been pretty fickle in my gaming, often plumping for the next shiny thing that came along – But that actually changed for a short while this gen, due to the inclusion of trophies. I think i have completed more games this gen than any other & trophies actually play a large part in that.

      However, i have returned to form of recent (partly due to a mix of depression & boredom at work!) & in some months have even bought more than a game a week, which is pretty much complete madness to be fair! :)
