Hey guys, great show as always!
Re: preservation of video games… it’s something I do for sure, but I don’t play my old systems. I keep them to have them, fearing if I play them they will eventually die. But if I don’t play them I can think to myself, hm I COULD go play them any time, but I won’t.
I think it was Matthew who said that PS2’s have a high break rate? I don’t know how they were in the US, but mine lasted for ages without having to replace it. Then I bought the slim which lasted until a gaming related incident caused it to be hurled into a nearby wall, but the slim I replaced it with last up until now when I still play it every week. Handhelds I own almost every one of (I don’t think I have a NeoGeo though) & still fire up the GBA sometimes to play various pokemon games.
I do think it’s important to preserve not just video games, but films & music too… & of course books which I have entirely too many of. Piling up in every corner of my flat are games & books, in some rooms piles halfway up walls. I guess I need some shelves, but who has the money for shelves when there are more games & books & films & music to buy?
Well this is way too long, so just keep going guys! Remember your time limits, but it’s always nice to hear a little more than the 35 minutes :)
