    I've been collecting since my first game--I've rarely sold any! I finally closed on my own home, got married, and have started under way in constructing my video game lair!

    I bought a gamecube kiosk from craigslist and I'm kind of down on it right now...that's how I found you guys! I paid 250 for it, 230 to ship it, and the guy who delivered it destroyed the sides of the top plastic part, and the back. It was supposed to come with everything original--but the gamecube window was open and the game is missing. I'm on the hunt for a gamecube demo disc 12 to match my kiosk!

    Anyway--this weekend I hope to mount the rest of my shelves. Last night I took the kiosk apart to fit it up three floors--and hung all of my etsy-purchased super mario/sonic oil paintings and prints. I will be sure to post pictures as I get it together!

    Welcome

    Your name immediately reminded me of Speedball 2. (There´s no hope left for me)

    Ha! I'm thankful for the one reply Mendel! :p

    On another note, I found a local guy who does movie props--who made me a bigger nes coffee table for 800.00. Not too bad compared to the 1200-2000 online! Plus it was local--avoided the monster shipping expenses, and the glass is a bit thicker.

    Will post pictures once everything is up. tonight after work I'm going to run some wire hiders to put up my nintendo and sega neons...mario light etc. and paint to match the wall.

    Also have an art student sculpting me a gaint pirhana plant. Should be a sweet place to game!

    Last note...found a copy of Slaughterhouse 3 at a yard sale...10.00....Splatterhouse 2 was one of my favorite games growing up--glad to have another! I wonder what the chance is of me finding an original :-\
