As I started 2025, I found myself wondering if this was going to be another 'quantity over quantity' year like 2023. My back catalog is a lot like government spending and inflation: it just gets larger and more monstrous all the time. I don't actually need to buy anything more... but I still will. It's like an addiction. My own personal Crack. LOL.
Also, the new Doom game, DOOM: The Dark Ages, was be released this year. I had no idea if my current computer could run that game, even with massive upgrades. So, I started mulling over the idea of building a new PC exclusively for gaming purposes. That would require me to save money instead of spending it on console games... And new consoles... And controllers... And varying accessories...
Or, so I thought. Massive discounts from Steam sales, Amazon Prime Deal days & my favorite pawn shop made it possible for me to have my cake and eat it too. 2025 has been a crazy year for game collecting, folks. It had almost everything you can imagine. Quality, quantity, old school stuff from Atari, Nintendo & SEGA. New stuff from Atari & Nintendo. Lots of cheaply acquired PlayStation games. New systems. Old systems. Arcade parts. Mad Science run amok. Human Sacrifice, Dogs and cats living together, Mass Hysteria!!!
Okay, there was no Human sacrifice... 😜
Anyway, lets get on with the show...
