#madden26 Do Better!!! This is why I wait to buy these games instead of paying Full Prices. Still, there is no excuse for stuff like this. I hope 2K Sports gets the NFL contract back so they can make a better football game. #glitch #easports #maddensucks

I'm convinced #gamestop has a sticker fetish. Can't convince me otherwise. Why put FOUR STICKERS to seal a small holiday gift guide? You wonder why Gamestop isn't doing too well? Here's ur answer. STOP BUYING STICKERS!! #gamestopsucks #gaming #videogames

Got this beauty in the mail yesterday, So glad this was re-released cuz its ridiculously expensive to find out in the wild. Keep em coming LRG, Strictly Limited, Retro-Bit and others!!! 👍 #videogamepickups #gaming #nesgames #nescollection #videogamecollection #videogamecollecting

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · 15d

Got this today from LRG. Anyone else snag this? Also, setup is my kids setup in background, mine is still under construction at the moment, lol. #videogamepickups #gaming #videogamecollection #videogamecollector #switchcollection #nintendoswitch

Didn't pick up a ton at RetroGameCon but did pick up some stuff. Swipe to see em all. #videogamepickups #gaming #retrogamecon #videogames #videogamecollector #videogamecollection

Got this the other day on sale from VGNY, haven't tried it yet. Its a 2D Shoot Em Up. Has anyone else picked this up? #gaming #shootemup #shootemups #shmup #shmuplife #shmupcollection #nintendoswitch #nintendoswitchcollection #videogamepickups

Got this a little while back, with everything going on, I havent gotten around to playing it, I opened it and was pleasantly surprised to see a manual. Anyone else grab this? #gaming #videogamepickups #videogamecollection #nintendoswitch #switchcollection

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Sep 25

Got this about 2 weeks ago before construction in my gameroom. LRG is starting to send out a bunch of stuff. Anyone else snag this one? #gaming #videogamepickups #videogamecollector #ps4collecting #ps4

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Sep 24

I was kinda of shocked that I didnt already own this on the 360. It must've somehow slipped my radar. I've beaten the NES version maybe 5 or 6 times over and this version maybe 3 times. Its a very fun game to play. Anyone else have this version? #ducktales #xbox360 #gaming #videogamepickups

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Sep 21

Sorry I havent posted in a bit, my life is going thru a busy cycle. We have waterproofing going on in the house and in my gameroom. After the flood in there we decided to get it done and it was a ton of work! After pics will follow as soon as reconstruction is complete.

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Sep 12

When LRG came out with this, I think I may have ordered it on Day 1. I love my shooters em ups and this is a cool one! Anyone else snag it? #shootemups #gaming #shooters #shmup #shmuplife #shmupcollection #shmups #shootemup #shootemupgames

So I Missed out on the Vol 1 run of Genesis Carts released, had the Vol 2 preorderded, but then LRG took one of the carts away & released these on Switch. Canceled my OG preorder & got these instead. Tho it wouldve been cool to have the carts, I'm definitely happy w/ it on the Switch. #gaming

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Sep 4

@strictlylimited.bsky.social Ummmm can u please explain why I had 3 preorders refunded without explanation or anything? If this had to do with extra shipping costs or something why wasnt I given the option to pay more for shipping or something? Seriously, just cancel and refund and no reason why?

Picked up this Atlus Title finally! I have the Second Opinion version but have been looking for this one. I think there's only one left to get in this series for the Wii. Anyone else play this? #gaming #videogamepickups #nintendowii #wiigames #videogamecollector #videogamecollection

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 29

So I grabbed this one cuz I have it for the Switch but I feel like it being an FPS game, it would run better on the PS4. What do ya'll think? #gaming #videogamepickups #videogamecollector #videogamecollection #ps4 #ps4collecting

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 27

Sometimes I like grabbing Steelbooks if I like the Art Style on em, this was one of those occasions. Swipe to see. These were just steelbooks and no games as I already have the games. #videogamepickups #gaming #videogamecollector #videogamecollection #steelbookcollection

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 26

Anyone else grab this so they could get scared? Have to play this one at night, with surround sound and on the big screen. #gaming #thething #ps5 #ps5games #ps5collection #videogamepickups #videogames #videogamecollector #videogamecollection

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 25

Picked up these 2 games at my favorite gamestore in the world! I've been looking for 2 clean CIB copies for a long while. Whos played these and thoughts? #gaming #videogamepickups #xbox360 #xbox360collection #videogamecollector #videogamecollection

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 25

So many to think of but my first one I loved was prolly Resident Evil 2 on the PS1. I played that religiously

Retro Blast 🎃 @retroblastpod.com · Aug 24

What was the FIRST video game that you truly LOVED? 💜

That one special game that you would want newcomers to Retro Gaming to try over anything else...

Now's your chance to give that game the recognition it deserves. Make your case, let's get some great games in here!

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 25

Finally got my hands on this one, thanks to an awesome trade. Dying to see this one in action. I have to finish Ghost of Tsushima first though. #gaming #ps5 #ps5games #videogamecollector #videogamepickups

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 23

So far my son Absolutely Loves it, hes about an hour in

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 23

Picked up this one for me and the kiddos. Been waiting on a price drop for AGES! Finally found one. I kind of wish I had that special controller now but oh well, I'm sure its fun regardless. Who's played this and thoughts? #astrobot #gaming #ps5games #ps5 #videogamepickups #ps5collection

Got this from Limited Run Games. Apparently, I am finally getting some preorders coming my way. Any of u grab this? #gaming #limitedrungames #nintendoswitch #renderingranger #videogamepickups

OptimusMagnum 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 @optimusmagnum.bsky.social · Aug 14

Me too! I preordered this thing on Day 1. I've seen nothing on it. They do this stuff a lot lately. It's highly annoying and bad business practice. They are lucky they create quality products because if there was one issue with what they create, people would jump off this bandwagon quickly

Retro Blast 🎃 @retroblastpod.com · Aug 14

I pre-ordered the Analogue 3D back in October of last year and I've been patient despite them delaying it multiple times.

What's bugging me, is that we still haven't actually seen it yet. No gameplay, no one has tried it. Nothing.

Analogue... I gotta ask. What are y'all doing?!

SHOW US THE THING!
