Wow Took Me Long Enough for an Intro - HUGE UPDATE!

[IAmTheLoneWanderer]

I am not very "new" to this forum. I have been looking on here for years as a way of finding collectors editions and different collectors merchandise but never became a member until a few months ago. I must say I am very envious of many of your collections and and am ALWAYS looking for ways to expand my collection.

My favorite series are Assassins Creed, Dead Space, Fallout (Fallout 3 was pretty much was my freshmen year of college.....so much time put into that game, I know only one person who put more hours into a Fallout game than me and that was someone with 1100 hours), Splinter Cell (Sam Fisher was my childhood hero *and still is*), Ghost Recon, Bioshock, and Gears of War. I am a very seasoned gamer, my main platform being the Xbox 360 (not a fanboy but a devout fan). I have a PS3 mainly for the exclusives (you know what they are). I have spent much of my life playing video games with my actual Xbox 360 game collection in the hundreds, not to mention all the various collectors editions, statues, promo items, press kits, art pieces, books and all the other works that I have gathered over the years.

I started collecting as a way to relax and let go, I love getting into games and what goes into making them. Video games are an extreme art form, although many may disagree with that but once you take a look at concept art and all the various collectors items, you can turn a rock to diamond in a second. I have done it to many people just by sharing my collection with them and actually talking to them about gaming, not just buying the game, playing it and trading it in to go to the next mainstream title. Video games are not just a time waster they are a way of expressing yourself, I know games have even helped shape my life more than books have. They speak to you almost, and collecting just adds to the experience.

I have a Wanted Thread and a for Sale Thread open, so please feel free to check them out.

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful hobby and lifestyle of collecting and I wish you all the best of luck with your collections.

Hope you all enjoy!

MAJOR UPDATE! September 25th, 2014 It's been over a year since I have done any type of update to my collection thread. So this is going to be big! I apologize ahead of time for the amount of photos. Hope none of you get mad at me for that Hope you all enjoy the update and I would love to hear all of your feedback. Enjoy folks!

oh man I actually have not. Fallout 3 got me into the series. Once I played that I was hooked. I was not able to play those 2 because I literally just got high speed internet where I live about a year and a half ago so I was unable to install the games on PC. That's why I am kind of playing catch up on collectables because I had no access to this site while living at home and no access to really any other site that I could actually purchase the actual items, except going into the local GameStop, which that is like walking into McDonalds and asking for filet mignon with some nice wine hahah

mate and enjoy your stay here! Interesting introduction, I absolutly agree with your opinions about gaming/art expression/collecting etc. Me neither have some personal friend(s) who collects this kind of stuff.

Looking forward to see pictures of your collection!
