Video Game Collecting

This might sound familiar: these are what I consider to be my top ten video game posts of 2011. Some of these posts were not necessesarily popular to my visitors, but they were popular to me. Enjoy!

#10: Pedro Games VS Lukie Games VS NES_Head_Quarters – What’s not to like about this post – here I pit three of my favorite game sellers to a competition to the death!  Which one reigned supreme?

#9: 30 Days Of Gaming Challenge - Rather than writing for 30 days, I summed up all 30 days in one post.  This has been one of my more popular posts of the year.

#8: Super Mario Bottle Cap – Found in the backyard of a house I’ve owned for only two years, the Super Mario Bottle Cap brought back memories from my youth when Nintendo and Pepsi teamed up for the greatest promotion known to mankind.

#7: Macho Man Randy Savage In Video Games - I couldn’t help but pay homage to the Macho King Randy Savage.  The world lost one of the greatest men ever.  I will forever be inspired by him.

#6: Photo Of Osama Bin Laden’s Body - The moment it was announced that Osama Bin Laden was dead I took advantage of posting a picture from Prince of Persia on NES and labeling it as Osama Bin Laden’s death photo.  It brought the highest amount of traffic to the blog then ever before since I was apparently the first person to post an erroneous photo.  I consider the experiment a success.

#5: Suicide By Tetris - Never had I inspired so much angst or anger than I did with the announcement that I was going to try and kill myself by playing Tetris non-stop for 24 hours.  Although 90% of my friends support the decision and event I later learned that 0% of my family support the decision.  Regardless the event didn’t happen.

#4: 30 Days Of Atari 2600 Reviews - Actually 30 posts, the 30 Days of Atari 2600 Reviews demonstrated 30 of my favorite Atari 2600 games.  Sadly my 30 days of SEGA Genesis Reviews didn’t even make it to day 10.

#3: Weird And Recognizable Nintendo Patents - I research patents pretty often, mostly for inspriration and for “exploded” drawings of devices.  In this post I show off some of Nintendo’s most famous patents, and a few you’ve never seen.

#2: GameBoy Screen Repair – Remove Lines - If this wasn’t one of my favorite posts of 2011, it was definately one of my visitors top posts.  Of all of my videos on YouTube, this one gathers the most attention.  In this two part series I demonstrate in specific detail how to remove lines from a GameBoy.

#1: Swap Meet Video Game Finds - By far one of my favorite posts of all times, I show via video a day in the life of the BroadAcres Swapmeet.  Great Times.  Great Music!
