A little something from my collection

[CanisCanemEdit]

Hello everyone! I've been lurking around the forums and homepage for at least 5 months now and decided that it was high time for me to finally register and be a part of the collector community.

Here's the abridged version of who I am and how I got here as there will be plenty of time to mingle over details later. I am 28 years old originally from the Philippines and residing in the United States. I have been collecting odd bits and ends be it in the form of promos, guides, standees and whatever glorious video game merchandise made its way to my home since I was 18 years old. I truly love video games and everything about them. Playing a video game and being able to bring forth emotions and attachment from an otherwise inanimate medium is the stuff great games are made of and what compels me to continually support franchises and companies through the purchase of special editions, autographs, reviews, video game related merchandise just to fuel that 'Gotta catch 'em all' mentality.

I'd like to consider myself fairly hardcore in video games as I have been playing for some time and sincerely believe it is a medium of art, but I am most definitely open to anything that I don't know about or haven't experienced yet.
