Editor’s note: David’s consoles sure are lucky. Not only do they have lots of other consoles to hang out with, but he even lets them go outside on his deck for some fresh air from time to time. That’s a lot of gaming history you’ve got there, David! – Aaron

I received my first console, the Nintendo Entertainment System, when I was two years old. Through the years, my precious NES gained quite a bit of company. Back in December of 2006, I took the photograph up above of all my consoles and portables. I’ve added a few more to my library since then, making the photo somewhat outdated. Even though today’s weather in Seattle is scorching hot, I decided that now was the time for me to hold another family reunion for my video game systems.
Photos of the gathering are after the break!
A modest increase from last time, wouldn’t you agree? I know it’s not exactly the largest collection of consoles and portables on the planet, but I’m still proud of my 73 (counting add-ons and duplicates) forms of electronic entertainment. Before this blog comes to a close, I’ll share a few more photos taken at a closer range.

I hope y’all had fun hanging out together, it will most likely be two or three more years before such an event happens again. I’m pretty sure that there will also be a few newcomers next time around.
