Be Excellent To Each Other

Harumph.

Not a single copy in my local GAME, either new or pre-owned. (There were lots of other bargains to be had though, it must be said.)

Had a look in HMV and they want £39.99 for it.

Looks like £19.99 through Steam might have to be the way to go after all.

I've ordered this today off Zavvi.. I've also found a website that I can print off the "proper" non classics box art work from.

I've printed that on the work printer and there you go, it'll fit right in my collection and won't play up my OCD.

That's a good idea.

I've also done Halo Wars too and they look alright. I'm actually surprised that my works printer works that well.

Check this out, OCD folks..

Tsk. Xbox games should go on their own shelf.

I've slowly been whittling my original Xbox collection down a bit to give more space to Gamecube stuff, mainly as the 360 can't play most of the ones I've got.

Gnnnghhhh.....

***Squirms a bit****

**Passes out**

Are we commenting on the single Xbox classics game, or the fact that everything's in perfect alphabetical order other than the two L4D games?

I think he's trying to distract you from the fact he owns Grease: the game.

I've arranged my gaming shelf in order of awesome.

That's the only one I've got, though!


Um... I'm pretty sure "Left 4 Dead 2" comes after "Left 4 Dead" alphabetically.


It's true. You'd like it Dimmers, it hands out Cheevos like sweeties.

Yeees. But not in the middle of all the Gs though.

Oh yeah. What the Hell are they doing there?

Thank fuck for that. I thought I was either mental or just completely missing a joke somewhere.

I did actually check you hadn't deliberately put them next to half-life or something.

I have Portal 2 next to the Orange Box, but it rankles a bit. Also not sure whether Lego Rock Band should sit with the Lego games or the Rock Band ones.

You're all clearly mental.

My Xbox games are chucked into the cupboard in the dining room. No order to them. I only now need Skyrim.

I'm thinking I should probably sort my stuff alphabetically one day - at the moment I just store things by format. It's a pain when I'm looking for a particular Game Boy cart and I open a drawer with about 200 of the buggers in.

Mine are in alphabetochronological order, so Guitar Hero Metallica is before Guitar Hero 5.

'K before L, except after Grease'

And you call yourself anal-retentive.
Not like anal retentives in my days.
They knew their alphabet.
Oh yes.
Not to mention the fact you are proudly advertising your copy of 'Grease Dance' to the world...

A copy, not my copy.

I use a system by going strictly with what's on the spine but ignoring any that start with "the".

So, Lego Rock Band would clearly go under L.

You are all mentals.

I put the discs in a wallet and store the cases in a cardboard box in the loft. Clearly you wives are more tolerant of lime green than mine is

. But more for space reasons than wife reasons.

What about series of the same game. Surely you wouldn't have GTA V before GTA Episodes from Liberty City (for example)?

May I suggest the mods split this OCD talk out of the Driver thread? I'm surprised it hasn't already been done, tbh.

V is 5 in my list, so yes, it'd be alphabetically first, no matter what order the games were released in. Otherwise it gets all jumbled.

You fucking weirdos.

I did a carboot sale last year and some guy reordered all the CDs I was selling as he flicked through them. Didn't buy anything just walked off.

You'll all be him one day.

@Myp Well, no but that's only because I don't like the GTA games.

Seriously though, I think I've got Halo Reach on the shelf infront of Halo Wars so looks like my OCD rules all.

I like seeing them on my shelf in the order they were released, so Halo Reach comes after Wars. This means prequels as well: Resident Evil 0 is sandwiched in between Code Veronica and 4 on my Gamecube shelf.

Alphabetochronological FTW!

Saying that, I think I have Resident Evil Zero before Resident Evil on my Gamecube shelf.

I think I need to revisit my system..

If you see it as a number then it's fine (according to your wacky system). If it's the word Zero then you've gone wrong.

I will order mine at some point..... (nutters)

I think in Resident Evils case I see them in chronological order so clearly I've gone wrong somewhere.

That's it, I'm going to arrange them by genre instead!

Well, if it's anything like my house, it doesn't matter what order the boxes are in because the discs won't be in the right ones anyway.

No thread split yet? Awful service.

I'm actually deliberately leaving it to wind you up at this point.

In my house the discs are either in the machine or in the box.. Nothing else will do.

These mods are woeful.

Thanks to this thread (well, the latter part of it), I've now ordered my 360 and Wii games alphabetically, despite it never bothering me before. No photo though.. you'd only criticise things like my decision to put all the Tom Clancy games together.

As long as the spine starts with the word Tom, you'll be alright with me.

Anyway.. I've bought Driver and you know what, I like it. It's good fun so far and I think it looks really nice!

Yes, I've played quite a lot of it now and I'm still having great fun. And another thing, the soundtrack is ace.

I may grab it on Steam then, despite being a total fucking WoW nerd I still like to have a 'secondary' game to dip into when the desire arises. And since it appears to be impossible to buy a copy for the 360 on the IOM it looks like it's the PC version for me.

Is it available digitally on the 360? I'd rather have this on the 360 but it appears that dark forces are conspiring against me getting hold of it.

I may have to fire my 360 up and have a look in the store, doubtless it'd need to update itself again and the dashboard will look entirely different (AGAIN) to the last time I used it and I won't be able to find the games.

Confused. How come you can't just order it from Play or somewhere?

Because I'm incredibly impatient and when I decide I want something I must have it immediately.

Also I'm on annual leave for three days so it's the perfect time to plant myself in front of the big telly and play games whilst AE Jnr is at school and Mrs AE does whatever it is that women do during the day. *




* Facebook, by the looks of it.

You should buy things from ShopTo. The majority of things get delivered the next day! They're amazingly fast.

I'm adding this to my maybes list next time I feel like a driving game. I'm also wondering how I've survived with no shelf-ordering system at all for so long... in some ways perhaps "no order" is better for OCD because it can never look slightly out and none of the things that make you squirm ever show up amid the cacophony?
