i'm canadian and video games are a pretty cool guy

[Feathers]

hello, i've been lurking around and now i've finally decided to post my games. i was directed here by my bro AJ Lareneg because she's awesome and likes to find cool things for me. a true champion. she also made both of my most frequently used icons, one of which i'm using currently.

anyhoo i'm an 18 year old student in my first year of university, working towards a career in game design (specifically the artistic parts). as such, my favorite games are Shadow of the Colossus and ICO. i may have an internship with EA soon but we'll see.

i usually only buy CEs of games i really like since i'm a poor art student and SotC/ICO cost all of my monies, but i've been stocking up on games since about a month ago.

without further delay, here are them games:




part one of these guys. i'm not big on sealed games but the boxed collection will stay closed. i found it locally for $115 which isn't bad. on loan to friends right now are:




and




the collection didn't have a reversible cover here though so i may have to get an american copy soon.

does anyone else know that this guy is hanging out on the back of the non-greatest hits?




freaky prototype is freaky. anyway, have some books




i'd like the original books for ICO in nipponese eventually, along with a japanese copy of the games, but they are plentiful on yahoo japan so i'm not that worried. and of course i can't afford the white box, but soon...soon...

some other games:










i have heartgold but that too is on loan, along with my PS2 and all the games haha. japanese Black because i was in japan when it came out there







this is my second copy of OOT 3D and it will probably stay closed for no particular reason.




zelda is my favorite series so of course i have this. regretting not getting two.







delicious batman CEs




where the magic happens

oh and here are some handhelds




i had a 3DS a long while ago after giving up on a zelda SE, but then of course it came out so i had to pull a switcheroo. also i found the MIB suicune GBA locally for $25, but it has since been sold (for a lot more than that lol). the gold GBA is my childhood system and a gift from my parents. i kept it in excellent condition. and of course my DSlite is decked out. originally bought at nintendo world, it now serves as my tournament DS (i play competitive pogglemans)

and some art books (of course)




and that is all for now, until i buy something else. thankee for stopping by to have a look.

PS. why is that big SotC statue so hard to find? as in every time i find one it is broken? seriously i need one. yesterday.

I'm Canadian and I approve of this awesome SoTC and Ico collection.
Especially those fantastic gashapon figures. Looking great!

Your icon - is that Beast Boy?
In any cases, lovely collection so far! Welcome!

[Feathers]

yes, the figures are rather lovely. they look so good but dusting them properly is so hard, haha.

and yes, that would be beast boy. he's basically my role model, not even lying. one of my other passions is teen titans, which i have a lot of fun collecting/watching.

May I ask though - what is that black leather looking book thing in front of your Batman stuff xx

[scottcross]

I'm more intrigued by the pic of link u have on your wall,is that painted on or what?

Very nice collection by the way the ico and sotc stuff rocks

[gurpswoo1]

Welcome, very nice collection there.

Are any of the books an Artbook for SOTC?

If I'm not mistaken, that's just Dr. Young's journal included in the Arkham Asylum CE.

[vhal_x]

Nope, the journal looks shitey compared to that xx

[vhal_x]

This is the journal:







Flash on my camera blurred out "Young" xx

[vhal_x]

Oh no, wait - Solemn, you're correct, just hit me that it's the NTSC journal, forgot that the NTSC one is far better - hmph xx
