The kids loved the wild beard-stache during youth wrestling season, but after the state tourney this weekend, it was time to revert back to my old ways.

Happy MAR10 Day to all those who still love retro gaming and all that it represents! For me, today represents everything in life that was simple during childhood. I reminisce of the best memories of life that I got to spend playing my favorite games as a kid. Thanks Nintendo for all the memories!

With my latest purchase of the Nintendo PlayChoice-10, this is now my new favorite picture of the game room... game on, my fellow retro gaming lovers.

My wife asked what I bought for $9.96. My reply was a plastic hand and she gave me the best blank expression. Now she gets it and I have no regrets.

It’s been over a year since I transformed a common wall in our basement into the ultimate game room. This one wall will forever be my shrine to the big N and I hope that I can pass on my love for retro gaming to the next generation with it!

In honor of today’s announcement that we will all be bestowed with a new installment of the genre... back to my roots.

Thinking back to all the harsh waxes I’ve put in the ‘stache over the past year, I’ve found a wonderful middle ground after incorporating the beard hair into the mix and only needing a blow dryer and facial hair brush now. Moustache 2.0

It has been awhile since I last posted to Reddit. I’ve been focusing on other platforms these days trying to spread retro gaming history and lore... but here is a more recent picture of The Retro Hub. We’ve come quite a ways in 2020!

Besides consoles, the newly designed Retro Hub has been completed with the addition of the N64 collection shelf!

Told my wife that I’m starting to get on board with this whole Kitchenaid Mixer thing... I’d no idea of the awesome capabilities of it!

I bought a couple of blasters over the weekend and the wife asked me to put them away as they were sitting in the living room after testing. I couldn’t just pile them on top of my current totes full so I took the opportunity to lay out the current out of box collection. Can’t stop, won’t stop!

$100 pickup from my local FB marketplace (all blaster on ground). Brought them home to test and they all function Including Firefly mags except for one Hail-Fire. Boom💥

I bought one! ..and it fits 300 rounds (275 comfortably). That’s 200 Rival and 100 off-brand in the background. The fire rate is absolutely stupid good on the stock model. This is my first Rival blaster and I think I have finally transitioned over to the ball ammunition side...

Almost speechless here.. the thrift gods opened the gates to quite possibly the greatest Nerf thrift in history today in Elkhart, Indiana... one of the greatest finds of all time? Be the judge... 🔫🔫🔫

$50 pick up today from a private seller.. conditions are perfect and looks like they were kept nicely! All authentic! Very happy with this one.

When I joined, I was under the impression that almost everyone in here was addicted to collecting Amiibo and had the the whole collection in-box AND out-of-box, but it has been very humbling to see that there are collectors out there completely content with what they have no matter how big or small!

“Give it a good smack and restart the Nintendo and it should be ok.” 😂😂 Dead after reading this one with that price point. But hey, they’re very important to him and a big part of his childhood and blah, blah, blah, blah...

Let’s discuss.. Slingfire, Sledgefire or Scravenger and why? .................... Personal opinion: Slingfire has great ergonomic shape and versatility, but the Scravenger one-ups it with slam-fire capability and attachment options.

Some years back, when I was newer to Nerf I went all out and assembled what I thought was a God blaster at the time. Hail-fire w/ eight 18 dart clear mags, bandolier w/ useless accessories and fore grip.. now I’m wondering what is the mod-ability of this blaster? Can I up the FPS/power of this?

Recently got into Arcade1Ups.. it may be time to knock out and expand a wall in the game room due to space constraints!

After receiving my first VB in the mail only 83 days ago (above CIB), I completed the NA consumer release collection today with Panic Bomber. I am planning an ongoing attempt to collect most, if not all of the homebrews someday as well as I have fallen in love with this awesome console!

Mail call today! Finally got the grail game. I started collecting two months ago and this is my third console... only game I need to complete the collection is Panic Bomber. I think I’ve developed an addiction to the Virtual Boy!

Updated collection photo of 4”. Couple of doubles at the bottom right. Two Samus and Skull Kids, each is a variant. Besides the trophy, prototype line and new wave, which ONE am I missing?? Hint: He can breath fire in a certain Mario title and it’s NOT who you thought of first 😎🔥🔥...

At long last I finally secured one from eBay for a close-to-retail price. This completes every wave of the regular versions for me so far (excluding trophy and prototype).

Why, yes, I would love a Dry Bones to finally make an appearance in the future waves.. possibly a red hammer bro as well?

So I posted this on CL with the caption “Found some old games in storage. Please offer!” and the highest offer I got (out of the fourteen) was $200 from a person who was an “expert game appraiser” according to him. If you saw this pic would you honestly think the person had no clue what they had?

Anyone still interested in the Micro Land line? It seems it has died after the (albeit odd) Zelda figures released and sat on shelves until they were clearanced out for next to nothing.

Meijer in Goshen, IN has em in stock! One Iggy and two Hammer Bros left (after I snatched one of each finally) for those that are interested.

Current 4 collection. In need of a few good men.. (Red Yoshi, OoT Link, Metallic Samus, and of course the trophy/prototype series)
