Gaming Collection

Updating this as it changes, staying contrary to how I typically mouth off on projects I don't actually undertake. Originally posted as a note on my Facebook page.

My ultimate goal is to have all common consoles arranged in a format which will allow me to switch TV input over to them... I call it my gaming octopus... or perhaps a gaming squid. Probably a pretty lofty goal to have, but one can dream, can't they?

Thanks so much to those who've helped with my collection over the years, I couldn't possibly have gotten this far without you.
