So in my new quest to organize and improve the Gaming Mecca, I'm clearing my way through stacks and stacks of comics and magazines and CCG cards and whatnot.
And man, what a fool I've been.
I'd like to send a message to myself-of-the-past, and inquire what the hell I was thinking.
Did I REALLY need to peruse Wizard magazine? Did I NOT see Inquest Gamer did, in fact, suck like a hoover? Why in the world was I picking up Command and Strategy and Tactics - I have no recollection of actually READING THEM.
And on the CCG side. It was my practice for some time to pick up a deck of pretty much anything, to explore the mechanics, check out the art, etc. I'm not sure if I thought I was going to have some pithy discovery from these investigations - I sure did NOT have one; but what I DO have is CCG cards that could feed a small third-world nation.
That is if they could find nutrional value in Magic: The Gathering and Legend of the Five Rings, etc.
So. I'm sifting through the piles and boxing it up. I haven't got the heart to sell it. I don't even imagine there is a MARKET out there for back issues of Game Trade Magazine or the Duelist. (Was there ever?) It'll go sit in the back room for a few years until I go into a "What IS this stuff?!" sweep and toss it. In the meantime, I guess, it just gets to take up space, like the stuff that I'm currently sweeping out has done.

This is the exact same boat I am in. Lots of thigns I'd like to have in the library. Very, *very* little room available in the library. If I'm going to keep the entire Paranoia collection, something else has gotta go.
