Have you seen those crazy guys on the internet with the whole rooms filled top to bottom with video games? The folks who’s gaming collections are thousands? Well yeah, that is basically what I inspire to do. I currently have my nerdy man-cave setup as a video gaming mecca, complete with framed gaming art covering the walls and gaming memorabilia filling bookcases and shelving units. My personal video game collection has grown greatly, but it is nowhere near where I want it to be. I find myself every few weeks or so scouring thrift stores, flea markets, and second-hand gaming shops looking for treasures to add to my collection. I have recently decided to categorize, catalog, and database my gaming collection using a website called Backloggery and an iPhone app created by a NeoGAF user (Kevin Gudgeirsson, AKA Avengedsd) named Game Vault to keep track of my collection.
I will post the completed Backloggery database as soon as I am finished, which I will use to show viewer my current collection, progress, and gaming trends associated with my collection. My collection primarily focuses on retail physical copies, but games that are only available in digital form (like Steam games) I will add for progress purposes. I plan on hopefully posting the completed collection very soon. I will also blog about my current finds and purchases as well.
This should be a fun project and I’m hoping to hit my goal of 500 physical games this year. I better start stockpiling up on spare bookcases!
