Joe Santulli would probably laugh at the closet where you keep your games. He's got an entire warehouse of games. You can just smell the musty 80s as he walks along the shelves of cartridges and past the row of stand-up arcade machines.

Santulli was featured on an episode of Collect This, a series hosted by freaky clones of Pat Boone. They flank Santulli and interrogate him about his collection. He reveals that his favorite videogame collectibles happen to also be his most valuable: a game called Lockjaw that was pulled for copyright infringement of Jaws, some Atari thing called Video Life, and a prototype of a game called Save the Whales, each presumably worth about four or five thousand bucks.

It looks like most of his stuff is, umm, really old, bulky, and not very fun these days. Yeah, sure, I'd have a warehouse, too, if I didn't have the presence of mind to throw away all my Atari 2600 carts. Still, who can't identify with this sentiment?

I cannot imagine a world where there weren't videogames to play. I mean, I spent a lot time in my youth, like, playing baseball and soccer, but none of that was as fun as playing a Nintendo game.

Amen, brother. Except for the part about baseball and soccer. Some of us were playing D&D.

Thanks Mark Asher!
