My Gaming Collection has been Destroyed :'(

[WelshHDGaming]

U live in Britain and u stored ur games in a shed OUTSIDE

[Leishmaniasisably]

I pity you, man. Just discovered you. Wish I could do more but I'm young and can't really offer anything but my subscription. Really sorry. Only started collecting a while ago with the games I grew up with and I'd be devastated loosing those. 30 years gone... wow.

[MajinWamu]

wow :( that's terrible that this happened to you. I would be such a wreck and heart broken if this happened to me (well to my new games....the old ones I'll just find roms). It looks like you took all this pretty well tho...

[garamonde]

I never knew about this until now. I'm so sorry Larry. :(

[themclovin51234]

I am going to crawl into a corner and die of a broken heart now...

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@themclovin51234 Thanks bud! that's how I felt :(

[metakight4]

I know I commented before but if you had mr jackle and mr hyde for the nes then that would not be a big lost lol =P

[metalWeirdo77]

Sad stuff Larry :(

How's your collection coming along now, any progress?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@metalWeirdo77 It's slowly getting back, it' snot brilliant, but i've replaced most now.

[metalWeirdo77]

@ScrewAttackEurope

Good to hear!

Still can't believe how well you took it, I'd have been scarred for life!

Best of luck on the rest of the restorations! :D

[Glooxer]

My heart aches to see that. I can't imagine what I'd do if something like that happened to me...(

[metakight4]

Wow I would be devistated if my snes n64 and ps1 collection ended up like that but my snes collection mostly since I have some rare snes games =P sorry that happened toy you though =(

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@metakight4 Thanks dude :D

[crazywhiteboytv]

I am so sorry that happened to you. If that ever happened to me i would be so devastated i wouldn't know what to do. Watching this was painful enough with the classics destroyed. I hope you can rebuild your collection and make it even better than before. Good luck :)

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@crazywhiteboytv Thanks bud. I've gotten most of the collection back now, few donations for games and some money, which I spent on replacement titles on eBay.

But I'm abotu 80% back now!

[crazywhiteboytv]

@ScrewAttackEurope O thats great news i wish i could donate but i myself dont have the games or cash to donate at the moment but as soon as i do i will make sure you get something. :)

[MrMike4298]

that's bad for you i am sorry but i am confused, england = rain?!?

!#@&?

[border205]

I dont get it, England = rain.

[paulspydar]

How & when did you get the TV work? I have seen you a few times & in fact watching you right now on sky Showcase 2 on the "The Video Game Show" 25.05/11 & watchdog and a few other things, I hope you TV work continues then you can make a bigger dent in replacing what you lost..

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@paulspydar Oh, I've been working on Gaming TV since 2004, But The Video Game Show was really a favour to the producer as he's a friend of mine.

Oh, I use the LarryBundyJr YouTube account now (link on my main page) You should check out my newer videos sometime!!!

[paulspydar]

@ScrewAttackEurope thanks for your reply , I will def watch you newer stuff I like your style its , erm, welll? ...You! I think you would be great for radio , I know that sounds like "get off the telly! lol but its not meant that way , its you voice & wit like a stoned 18 year old Terry wogan, (that's not an insult either honest) But I hope all goes well for you however you do your thing? regards Baco (Paul)

[CrAzY3AGL3]

OH MY FUCKING BALLS dude =( that's just painful to watch

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@CrAzY3AGL3 Tell me about it :(

[FlacCanon]

this made me tear up

all those games

jesus this is hard to watch

[slovan]

What happened?

[OneAndOnlyPeach]

i'd kill myself if i kept my games in a shed.

[Dreammask700]

wow that not cool.

[Reigam4]

Wow dude I'm really shocked.

I feel sooo sorry for you, really........

[trtomkitinholloywood]

I wish I could help as well I hope you had insurance man

[phobosekt]

stuff is never safe in a shed, flood or no flood.

Put ANYTHING delicate in a shed and i guarantee it will suffer water damage or warping just from the condensation and moisture levels in a shed. Ever been up early enough in the morning to see dew on the grass? Yeah, thats what happens. Unless you have some sort of super shed with mad insulation and seals you're basically storing your stuff in the open air.

[Tanyu22]

i cant watch this kind of things. argh. I feel so bad for you.

[BitHead1000]

I understand, my ex chucked my entire collection in a dumpster. Never recovered it.

[kingcoapa]

"Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,

may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow".

I feel so sorry about you, even more than my condition I got a complicated infected bone fracture (2 yrs + 15 surgeries), but those memories on that little boxes and cartridges...

[Whybehim]

damn that sucks ass

[ghostpony61]

your a complete fucking idiot just for storing your games in that manner and then you've got the nerve to ask ppl for money? you're the very epitomy of a fucking moron.

[DynamiteKiwi]

@ghostpony61 he said it was a stupid thing to do and that he isn't asking for money, everyone else offered it. it's all in the description

[disabledpikachu]

Gutted, man. Feel for you, I think I would be in tears. Sickens me to see good stuff ruined.

[BoredOfThisSite]

The fact that you are calm and coherent here is a miracle. I would most likely have responded to this by killing myself and then everyone else within reach. In that order.

[tehblackarachnid]

water it gives us life but is still one of earth's biggest assholes when it comes to everything else! did you manage to get most of your games back?

[RareStuffChannel]

i actually will take the ruined games!! i sware!! don't throw them in the bin,send them to me,i'll take them,i sware!!!

[RareStuffChannel]

I thought this was a fake or just a comedy when i first watched as now when i read the comments only that i found out that it was'nt

[RareStuffChannel]

lol thats a tip now,DON'T EVER LEAVE ANYTHING IN A SHED ONLY IF ITS NO GOOD,DON'T EVER!!!!!

[RareStuffChannel]

i'll take whats left of all the ruined games,seriously!!! youtube pm me if u want to BADLY get rid of them!!

[halk713]

mutha naturs goin da b sued 4 tis aint she?

[TheGrahamf]

this reminds me of the start of saving private ryan

[jezz123kid]

I can send you some games, my sister has my old nintendo 64 with lots of games (its the pikachu nintendo :D ) i cant send the console but i can spare a few loose games like starwars, zelda popular brands back then, just message me if you are interested , i wont charge but would like to see some cool vids uploaded! :D thanks

[doubledragonuk]

My collection is in clear plastic boxes with lids, ive bought my large plastic boxes from the RANGE & small clear boxes from ASDA, i have had this happen to a couple of things in my shed, just down to condensation, so ive invested in boxes, the boxes mighy not be cheap, but if you add up the value of your gaming stuff it seems cheap to protect it

[marbleskc]

I agree this is bollocks never leave a game down

[ultran33b]

This is bollocks I tell you!

WEATHER CANNOT DESTROY MY FAVOURITE REVIEWER'S GAME COLLECTION!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUU-

I wanna donate, I feel bad.

I shall do so as soon as I get on the laptop, these iTouch's r ghey...

OH, and what do you think of R-Type? Been meaning to ask you that question for a while.

-Lloyd

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@ultran33b Aw, that's really kind of you, thanks ever so!

R-Type, I really like it, one of my fave scrolling shmups prolly my number 2. But I suck at it.

[illustriouschin]

dang that like the tsunami disaster of games. wish I could do something to help but i'm a jobless bastard so I'll just shake my fist at the sky for making water on your games and ruining them.

[thedraken5]

it breaks my heart to see all those games ruind i would just be gone for weeks over that man if i still had my n64 i would send you some of my stuff but my cousin robbed it when he went to live in whales >:-( if it was the ps1 i could have sent you staks of games i cant stand to look at

[susanfarris55]

I feel very bad for you im sorry you lost your game collection

[XxiLLViLLAiNxX]

One of the most depressing videos I've ever seen.

[Rorschach1212]

Being a major gamer who loves video games so much. I shed a tear watching this video

[DooMDude10]

D;

I would be in shambles if that happened. Heck, I don't even have that much money (I don't have a job, you see), so to get all my consoles + games back would be (this is a guess) about $2000! But you're pretty brave to not break down about that. It looks like you have $2000-5000 there.... But wow.... weather is mean...

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@DooMDude10 Well I fiulmed this a few days later, so had a little more composure.

[doubledragonuk]

i cant fit all my collection in the house, but ive invested in clear plastic tubs & boxes with lids, ive spent a few hundred on boxes but it worth it, ive still got more to buy, i bought the larger boxes from a shop called the RANGE & the smaller ones from ASDA, im sorry for your loss, ive only had 2 items damaged due to water in shed, thats why i started protecting them

[furishinigami]

OMAIGAWD, watching this.... its like someone took my dreams and took a sledge hammer to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, etc D;

[PikolUploader]

Go is like "dude, no more nerd tiem"

[MasterOrHan1]

Unfortunate that happened. What is fortunate, is that you can dl your entire collection off the internet in the form of ROMs and ISOs until you can buy physical copies again should you desire.

[TheNessmiester]

Sorry. It Might Be My fault. I was thinking that my games would be Destroyed By A Flood,And What do you know,it happens to my fav reveiwer. :'( Don't Hate me plz

[highwaydwell]

I feel your pain.... When my saturn games were destroyed, the only one remaining was..... SONIC R. :'(

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@highwaydwell Wow, that's like being burgled then one of them shitting on your carpet!

That sucks :(

[MrNintendocollecter]

@ScrewAttackEurope Funniest comment iv seen today thumbs up mate :)

[TheNessmiester]

@highwaydwell FUCKING REDICLULUS. SONIC R WILL ALWAYS BE MY LEAST FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME. What Im Trying to say is sorry Bout The misfortioun.

[Drakodan]

Sweet Jesus Fuck.

I'm SO sorry that happened.

[TheArtsyRevolution]

the saturn games? goddamn...

Man, you have my condolences bro.

[MegaMizfit]

woah, u really need to take that stuff inside man, if someone near u sees this they could break into the shed n swipe ur console collection... :(

[Pikmii]

Well done for keeping a brave face during this video. I would have been a total wreck if this happened to me.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Pikmii Truth be told, I filmed this a few days after I discovered it! It was heard wrenching going through box after box of destroyed games praying for at one thing that was salvageable!

[Jrezky]

Do you hate begging or just ebegging?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Jrezky I'd say they're the same thing really.

[depletable]

Fuuuuuck.

[VeLvEtGuNs]

awh dude:( if that happened to me the first game i would look for is my dino crisis 2 i would have a heart attact if that got destroyed:O

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@VeLvEtGuNs Lol, I bought that on the Dreamcast recently! But luckily my original PS1 copy was a pirate, (rented it from blockbuster and copied it :S)

[okan931]

serulisy just tell why they got destroyed?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@okan931 I say in the video.

[CThompson151]

aw man i'm sorry! my dad had a collection of model aircraft he lost in a shed fire

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@CThompson151 Eep, I'm sorry to hear that dude!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@nintendoking6469 I say in the video.

[phuckingkunt]

Wow !

Really sorry to hear about your loss, they are in a better place now ;)

N64 ? I disliked most games for that console. What made you collect all availavle titles for the N64 ?

Look on the bright side if you can, you now have some more shed space :P

And at least it didn't happen after 40 years of collecting or 50 or 60 :)

I hope you're not scamming people lol

Hope you rebuild your collection but with SNES lol and get all MASTER SYSTEM games in case I ever happen to meet you :)

Peace

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@phuckingkunt It wasn't all the games, just the ones I bought back as a kid.

[WegraX]

Sorry to hear that. I wish I could do something to help.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@WegraX Thanks bud!

[djdogjuam]

Aw man that sucks. I feel so bad for this guy, but am surprised how well he's taking it. British attitude I guess, stiff upper lip. I'm just glad it didn't rain again while he was drying everything out on the lawn, that would have added insult to injury.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@djdogjuam Well I filmed this a few days after I discovered it really, so I had gotten over it by then somewhat.

[clashdo]

Damn... I'm sorry for your loss.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@clashdo Cheers, Slowly getting it all back now!

[RubberRoss]

Dude that's horrible.. Sorry for your loss Larry ):

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@RubberRoss Thanks dude!

[utunga]

Joana Lumley? Jonah Lomu!



[ScrewAttackEurope]

@utunga It's a spoonerism.

[archerypea]

I'm just actively starting to rebuild my former collections of games I've traded in over the years.

Anyone who stores games. Please put them in ziplock bags,or even into trash bags and then into waterproof plastic containers. It would of saved his whole collection :'(

[CaptainAssholay]

There are no words...

I'm so sorry for your loss man, how long have you been collecting all of these games?

[AbqHalsey]

Congragulations! You're free! Go outside and get some su...OH WAIT.

[BlueChipNinja]

Thankfully 99% of those games can be downloaded.

[JamDeity]

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. =(

[TheAngryLuchador]

Im sorry man :( Good luck recovering what you lost!

[ClickClackClickClack]

"Rememeber: Whatever you own, owns you." - Fight Club, 1998, Impressive!

[Halo2isgay87]

fuckkkkkkk thats depressing

[flkatk]

i have signed your paypal email for sum pr0nz so you can be comforted by some naked womanz

[E1Jimbo]

F*ck the games, nintendo sucks anyway. But what about the freakin' porn??

[baneclegg]

with all due respect man, you were kind of asking for a shitstorm of problems putting them in a shed.

with that being said, sorry for your loss, a lot of that stuff is going to be hard to recover.

[UberOcelot]

this is horribly depressing

[fouloneUK]

Slap your Dad!

[Dismister1]

Before and After

[ThePanterWithoutTheH]

that sucks man

[GeoMcEvan]

sorry mate, is all I can think to say, that must really suck :(

[MrNoNameNoNumber]

Sorry mate. I wish I could help. :(

[vincentchps3]

wow if something like that happened to me i don't know what i'd do. hopefuly your memory cards still work if so then the years of gaming would not have been wasted. but i really feel so sorry for your loss and also wanted to congratulate you on the weight loss i know it couldn't have been easy. good luck to you larry and i hope you can get back at lest some of you games.

[HomeVideoPresents]

was it a fire or water damaged?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@HomeVideoPresents Water,  it flooded.

[arkmainable]

thank god it was only U.K. games that were destroyed.

[gdude545]

The hearts of over 12,000 gamers go out for you Larry. I'm really glad you're getting so much support and wish I could help but I don't have much of a retro games collection and I currently have no way of donating. As soon as I can though I will make a small donation. Thats a promise.

[segadatabase]

Aww crap not Torico :(

[ghoststalkerx1z]

I am so sorry. I cry for you! Seriuosly.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@ghoststalkerx1z Thanks dude!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@ghoststalkerx1z Aww, thanks bud, means a lot to me!

[metalWeirdo77]

@ScrewAttackEurope My thoughts are with you

if that was me I would weep uncontrollably :(

[Borin81]

ya know, sheds isnt the best place to store electronic equipment at all, not even over a night.

you should have just put it in some corner of a room.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Borin81 You did read the video description right?

[Borin81]

ah, i see, a couple of weeks.

i learned that lesson long time ago, with a TV and VCR.

[lyris1]

That's really sad...but I'd never put games out in a shed!

[JohnMstudios]

@ScrewAttackEurope ah, i feel sorry for you, you lost all those games,

i have played lots of games on the 360, like assassains creed, prototype, mw2. all the good games, but i was completely hartbroken when my spyro game for the ps1 got scratched, its probably one of my favorite games ever!

[Flodder450]

What the? 0.o

damn, that sucks :(

[metakight4]

im so sorry for your loss =C my bro had a fire and bured 75% of my n64 games now i only have zelda 64,paper mario mario 64 zelda majoria's mask mario 64 kirby 64 and both my banjo kazooie games =;C and he is going to get out of it =C

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@metakight4 I never had Paper Mario or Kirby :(

[metakight4]

@ScrewAttackEurope that sucks =C like i said if i had another copy of each game i would send you one but yea i lost almost 500$ worth of games because almost all of them had the original games and some were japan copies so yea... im going to kill him for what he did. but yea you got hit like 3000% worser then i did =P

[gdude545]

@metakight4 That really sucks. At least you were left with some good ones.

[oliverjdavis]

I've got Robocop for the NES, boxed with instructions. Let me know if you want it.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@oliverjdavis Ooh, yes please ! I Love Robocop on the NES! Thanks ever so!

[NeoTechni]

Gees, that distraught look on your face as the movie started alone was enough to make me depress

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@NeoTechni Thanks bud!

[jordanv78]

I am really sorry to hear that happened to you. I always get sad when retro games are destroyed like that.

[R33Racer]

I hope many are salvageable, might be worth doing a huge list of all the things you need replacing (boxes, manuals, etc, etc). If theres anything I have the same of then id like to help any way I can. :)

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@R33Racer The CD's are perfect, it's just the boxes that are destroyed, the cartridge ones are the ones that did worse, most have totally rusted inside.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@ScrewAttackEurope But if you have anything spare, I'll give it a good home ^_^

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@R33Racer Um, I did make a list of some of the games that I lost in the video description of the follow up video.

[R33Racer]

@ScrewAttackEurope, Ah yeah sorry. :$

[tomstutorials]

if you can save the cartiges or how ever you spell them you can put them in rice for 1-2 days and they will work again. Ive done it before =]

[TerporFIN]

Do you want some pirated Megadrives games? I have some spare copy Talespin game if you want it.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@TerporFIN Lol, I love collecting old Pirated stuff, yeah that would be awesome! Thanks ever so!!!

[VeryCurrently21]

I'm sorry for your loss

[mccelf]

Shame you can't get home content insurance on that stuff. S'pose it's down to self-negligence if it was you who made the hole in the shed roof.

[dogeymon83]

Dude, we're all gonna die, and this video game stuff is worthless in the long run. Consider yourself lucky that you're freed from a bit of it. Hopefully you'll replace most of it with better things.

Hope that helps, mate.

[ThePowergloveNinja]

This reminds me when my old step dad destroyed my NES, SNES, and genesis collection ): IT's horrible to see games Destroyed.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@ThePowergloveNinja Eep, I'm sorry to hear that dude,  what happened?

[ThePowergloveNinja]

@ScrewAttackEurope

He was not the best step dad. My mother divorced him and told me to get all the things i could get and we would leave. I took all the games i could and my MegaMan Action Figures. I awaited for my games for about a year. Ended up he put all our stuff in a pile and burned all of it. Good news is that my collection is even bigger than it was all those years ago.

[athf11]

Ooh Noooez!

[joe9320]

I lost two DS games once. Never saw it again.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@joe9320 Oh shit! What happened to them?

Wez lost a huge pile of PSP games once, he kept them all in an envelope and his girlfriend threw it in the bin by mistake.

[AdolfDisney]

so sad, I live in my parents basement so I have a similar risk of losing my vast collection. Lol... my prayers are with you! I can't believe you weren't crying in your video, I sure as hell would of.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@AdolfDisney Well I filmed this a few days later,  but I was more angry than upset.

[cessnaace]

Man, what a shame. Hard to watch really, even though you put on a brave face throughout the video. I thought I had it bad when a hurrican came thru here some time back, and flooded out our garage, I had most of my Sega 32X games out there, plus some Atari 2600, 7800, and Intellivision. All in their original boxes. The 32X fared the worst. I lost the box to BC Racers, which bothered me the most. Saved the cartridge though.

STAY AWESOME mate!

[cessnaace]

@cessnaace PART 2:

The one good thing was that I learned from my mistake. So when our hot water heater burst I had no games in storage in the garage. In fact I put shelves up in the garage so that what stayed in there was at least off ground level.

Really sad that you lost the better part of 30 years worth of collecting. :(

STAY AWESOME mate!

[futurematt5]

jeez, your poor sod, sorry about that misfortune.

[SMAAAASHTV]

That sucks dude, I'd be devastated if something like this happened to me. I've got some extra copies of a few n64 games I'd be willing to let go of for fairly cheap, of course they're cart only. I think more people need to learn how to store their games securely, I think Muzz from L1Games has a vid on how he does it using ziplock bags and plastic totes(storage containers) I thought that was a very good idea....especially if you're storing in a basement or a shed. I wish you the best man!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@SMAAAASHTV Well I'm really tight for money ATM as I've lost my job the week before, so if I was going to buy titles I'd prefer them to be boxed.

But how much is cheap?

[SMAAAASHTV]

@ScrewAttackEurope that's understandable, plus it would probably be a little expensive shipping overseas. I have 007 the world is not enough, pokemon stadium, wargods and wrestlemania 2000. I'd sell them all for $5 USD each.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@SMAAAASHTV Hmmm, I may like Wrestylemania!  What about postage?

[SMAAAASHTV]

@ScrewAttackEurope yeah, the postage is probably a killer, I haven't checked yet but I'm estimating that it would cost probably double that in postage and seeing as I'm not working at the moment either it would probably easier and cheaper for you to get the game locally. I wish you luck dude!

[IAmThePostalDude]

It was a sign from God to stop worrying about video games and get a fucking life.

[Pimppihuuhkaja]

I couldn't even finish the whole video, it was really that painful to watch. I treasure my own collection so much that I'd probably rather burn away with it than lose it if my apartment were to catch on fire, so I can just imagine how horrible you must feel.

[emoNokes]

I'd donate some games, but i only have US/Canadian versions

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@emoNokes Most of my N64 collection were American copies (Nintendo Europe sucked for releases, so I imported nearly all my games!)

[supergoat94]

MX-5? Sweet!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@supergoat94 My brother's car.
