b) I have decided to move to a new home, hence I am packing boxes instead of unpacking to show my stuff
c) I have sold a good chunk of my collection. Don't worry I am keeping all my weird stuff, but I had more than 10K games, I am letting go of a good portion of it

I was asked last week if I color code my shelves and I realized I don't really show off the shelves themselves. I want to do a game room tour in the future when all my stuff will be well organized, but meanwhile enjoy the Pink shelves.

Before being known for being one of the worst Xbox title, Idol FX had high hopes for their game. They develop a whole comic book series around it as a tie-in for the game. Only one issue was ever released. This is a preview of that issue given in some video game store.
