The Worst Things You Can Do As A Game Collector.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

The absolute worst thing a game collector can do is not play their games. Remember its about the games.

[@RenegadePandaZ]

My biggest peeve is people collecting and buying games they don't enjoy or have no intention of playing. When I see people obsessing over complete sets, it baffles me, since basically every system has a metric ton of just awful games or redundant sports games that, let's be honest, you will never play or care about or even remember that you own. I've either played or intend to play every game I have for every system I own.

[@AngryStraightWhiteMale]

Nice gatekeeping. How about instead of worrying about what other collectors do, you just worry about yourself.

[@TooBokoo]

So basically this guy in the video? Lol

[@supersmallchibiwolf872]

This was all wonderful advice. I like when collectors give advice videos because everyone has their own interesting unique ways and It helps the community. I would say plastic game covers for all games are great pricy but some places you can find many for cheap. The plastic see through at times you can find hard ones which cost more but makes for better protection. Thank you for sharing. Cool video. ^_^

I think something you shouldn't do is buy from scalpers/unreputable sources but I feel like that one is obvious.

[@NateTheGameGuy]

Agreed!

[@realgeeker1]

It's 2024 and you still using the word scalper? You must wear a mask while driving too.

I only have about 50 games between my switch & 3ds. ^ I can't ever find the time to play them because. A. I'm playing Satisfactory B. Playing age of Empires 2,3, &4 C.playing Civilization 5 or 6 D. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 E. Playing simcity 2013. F. Playing palworld I got so used to playing the same games over and over...it's hard for me to focus on playing something new.

[@LukeBateson91]

For me, it's important to pass part of the collection on. When I was a kid at a garage sale this collector gave me a massive stack of Yu Gi Oh cards with a lot of rare cards. Now I'm a tutor and I give away my old Pokemon cards, Funkos, and all that as prizes.

[@ganymedehedgehog371]

Yeah when I gave up my gb/gbc collection I sold it really cheap to someone young starting their collection. It felt good giving my games to a “younger me” especially when prices have inflated so much.

[@ORTrainMan]

I organize my games by genre, fps together. sports together, driving games together...etc

[@MrMasteroftrades]

I track my video games by writing down printer paper have them in folders my 8 file cabinets I keep my games in protector cases none of games dust on them

[@76devastator]

Actually collecting games means acquiring all the games. Also don't put POPS in with your game collection.

[@JimBob-vg2og]

POPs are trash 🗑️

[@kdogg7882]

So true brother. So many people have felt the need to jump on the 360 hype train this year, even people that had no interest in the 360 until now. I've been playing it for 10 years now, and it's so weird to see these horrible games jumping in price because of KZbin comments. People think buying Fatal Inertia or Darkest of Days, or Operation Darkness is some sort of weird investment plan. They are spending crazy money on these games when they have almost no interest in actually playing them, and they are objectively bad.

[@tmnt_zombie]

Solid points! What do you use to track your collection? Also what sets are you going for? Cheers!

[@NateTheGameGuy]

So as crazy as it may sound, I use my notes on my iphone to track the collection. I don’t use any tracking apps since I feel like just using notes makes it easier for me to track if I have specific variants of games. As of right now I’m working on finishing the dreamcast set and the n-gage set. I only need two more games for n-gage and I need a hundred more games for dreamcast. Thanks for asking!

[@blakethekid74]

So many hand gestures, kept me laughing lol good video man

[@8-BitFryup-ru7pk]

Absolutely agree with your points.

[@FilmTrekk]

you got a pretty sexy collection my guy.

[@Riz2336]

Not cleaning the lens every once in a while on old cd based consoles. I think my Saturn still runs good because I clean the lens

[@purpleprinc3]

@Residentevil1998racooncity Buhhh I just can't get enough of rubbing the lense!! I love giving it a good rub, you can't do that with an emulator ;) Unless you emulate the experience. Hmm...further research is required.

[@eddieandrews2922]

Good video I didn't here you talk about those how to avoid them fake games out there😢😮

[@maxinsano7376]

Yoo - maybe like 5 years ago you couldn't touch Duck Tales 2 for under 400,, now its wat less....maybe one day i can afford it

[@phalxor]

enjoyed the video with good tips but the music is a bit loud vs your voice

[@NateTheGameGuy]

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to do some better adjusting in the future.

[@ThatOldTV]

Preaching to people is about the worst thing you can do as a youtuber. This was my first time clicking on your channel. After a few mintues, I found myself annoyed. Thank you for the tips but no thanks.

[@phalxor]

i really didn't see it as preaching, just advice. he even uses language like "please do this" occasionally

[@thecarpentershow8507]

touch grass cuz

[@purpleprinc3]

I live in a desert I can only touch sand, which I hate because it's course, rough and it gets everywhere.
