I don't mind the blow back and I expected it. There's no reason to be rude with nonsense though talkin about my mom and African babies. Shits ridiculous! im not not gonna stick up for myself. I'm not that Facebook guy. I posted a few pics of my Turbo and games when I first signed on like a year ago. I was introducing myself to the forum the same way I had on the few I go to.  Sorry if that rubbed people the wrong way. Just because alot of you grew up with the Turbo doesn't mean I'm not as into it as you guys. I grew up with lots of systems from nes to snes and so on. Turbo always eluded me. Same with Neo Geo.

I don't know anything about your mom or African babies.  I'm just telling you why some people weren't very welcoming.  If you want to talk Turbo, this is the place.  If you want to circle-jerk with other millennial collectards (and I'm not saying that you are), then Reddit is going to be the best spot.

Also: Nintendo Age

He's had that covered since he got here.

Among his many Nintendoage Awards, he's the winner of "Complete Series Set for Earthbound". I did not make any of that up.
You know it! :P lol, I didn't make the award. Dont hate on Nintendo Age. It's a good place full of nice people.

I actually got a chuckle out of that 1 myself but it's like 1 of the only sets I actually qualified for besides Tales of series as Im not a complete set kinda guy. I've never really set out to complete any system sets or whatever. Having a complete nes or turbo set never appealed to me cuz I know there would be alot of games I would never play.

NintendoAge definitely sucks, but at least you're not a completist, so you got that going for you.

Fake internet points and the false sense of accomplishment that is the lifeblood of the millennial generation.  When you grow up getting participation trophies...

Pretty much! :) And on top of all those amazing perks you mentioned, you also get nifty icons under your posts! (See bottom right in pic!) And medals next to your name depending on how many unique positive transactions you've had there! Hooray! :shock: Shiny!!

There's nothing wrong with that.  But that stuff just doesn't resonate with us.

This.

There are literally dozens of other avenues for communities and communication filled with people who share this possession over played mindset, and PCEFX  happens to be one of the few that does not. Why do some insist on trying and force and shoehorn in this mentality into a group of people who obviously do not share the same opinion, especially when it's one of the minority that does not want that culture here.

It sucks to say, but there's a lot of stubborn people here, and heck, I'd say it's stubborn in its own right to not venture outside of such a specific hardware manufacturere - so what do you expect! The fact is, if you want to flash your collections somewhere, this is probably a place that will get more of a negative reaction than a positive one, where most other sites would collectively ejaculate - it brings the PCEFXers tears to see so games imprisoned behind a wall of backlog for the sake of vanity.

Then the whole thing derails into this shit slinging competition. I'd hope what everyone is saying is be modest about your game collection, be thankful you can play these awesome games you have, and be respectful of the culture and peoples affinity towards the hive mind ant-collectard mindset of this forum :)

You guys are assuming I'm somethin I'm not. I agree with you. I don't have a possession over played mindset. I play my games evryday. It's not like I went out and bought everything yesterday to show off. I've been building my little library for over 25 years. This is all I'm going to say on the matter because there's no point in trying to relay to you guys who I am when you already have your minds made up. Now let's all go play some games!

It'a amazing that nintendoage has imaginary tokens for collectards to collect, which they earn from collecting real games.

Was it on nintendoage that some was selling a repro or homebrew game with "limited edition" homemade magnets or something? And people were buying multiple copies to try to complete the "set" that someone made in their basement and the actual game was an afterthought?

WTF is a "complete series set" for Earthbound?

Also, having never been to that forum (I've only heard stories. About 300 of them.) I had no idea the forum itself so actively encouraged collectard insanity. Now I can confidently say that it isn't just the people, it's the place.

Also, "Don't hate on Nintendo Age" followed by a f*cking emoticon is seriously inflamitory speach. I'm not going to say I hope he shoots himself in the foot cleaning his Zapper collection or anything but...that sure would be remarkable, wouldn't it? Because it impossible? That's what I find funny about that joke anyway.

Does everyone lose their "Complete Earthbound Series Set" award when a new game is released, or do they just create an all new tier of Earthbound collecting award?

That probably hasn't happened once since these jerks started collecting. The last game was for GBA.

Is there a Megaman or Sonic one though? You'd be constantly running to the store buying shitty games to keep your badge!
