    CQ 286 - Psychology Ruining the Hobby
    Dec 20 2025
    AUDIO QUALITY: Note this episode has subpar audio quality due to a recording issue. It's still might be fine for your car speakers on your holiday drive. To make up for this I released a CQAD episode publicly as well. Sorry, we didn't have time to re-record due to the holidays! This episode goes over psychological effects affecting collectors, straight from the renowned and widely read video game collecting textbook "Collectible Investments for the High Net Worth Investor".

    CQ 281 - Do you collect too many different things?
    Oct 1 2025
    We're talking about "collecting spread" as Johnny says, or how many different things you collect. It's only possible to play so many games, and even only possible to know about a fraction of all the games ever made. We're discussing the benefits of specializing vs. collecting everything.

    CQ 280 - Video Games Fell Off
    Sep 15 2025
    We're talking about franchises and genres that fell off, or whether they fell off. Contra is a classic that really isn't in the public consciousness anymore. Baldur's Gate was 90s nostalgia until it came back in a big way. 2D shooters used to be one of the most collectible video game genres until... they weren't.
