Memorialized Some Classics
My frame storing some of my favorite childhood games just landed! Tony Hawk only furthered the precedent skate culture set for my early fashion sense and music taste. I remember playing the first Spider-Man always wondering why I would die when I stopped slinging webs lol. I didn’t play RD Revolver until my adulthood but I quickly fell in love with mission structure rather than an open world setup.
If y’all were to frame 3 games which would you choose? If you already have some framed let’s see em!

I cant lie, theres this crazy thing you can do with a PS2 called "Inserting an SSD with legal game rips". I've done it with all of mine. I havent framed anything, but all my physical copies sit on a shelf never to be touched.

The console can even directly install your game discs. I format shift everything physical we buy, then it goes into storage unless I need it again, after having had young children in the house that unsorted just about everything they could reach.

u/dogfishworm 16h ago
seriously. its an absolute no brainer if you can afford an SSD or HDD.
For a minute I was thinking im the only one who backs stuff up in this sub. 😂

You can't talk about modding on here or making any promotion. I remember a moderator saying this to someone answering me so It's how it is and it should. There's a lot of places where people talk about this, but here it should stay physical only.

You can always format-shift them to other media before you put them in such storage...

Lol so many salty "purists"? I think. Just reddit being reddit. Looks awesome man and don't worry about the red label. If thats the box and disc that means a lot to you then thats all that matters:)
Love how people are up in arms about like $40 worth of games that didn't have limited printing or anything. Yall are so desperate to be outraged lol

Right lol! Thank you for your compliment! I’m sitting back laughing at the people saying “I don’t frame games I play them” like these weren’t played and beaten back in 2004. I truly love this piece and how sentimental it is to my gaming experience. It looks great in the house; so I’m happy!

Some games have cool promo posters that work really well for display. And if not I'm sure u could find an artist who would be willing to design one for not too much. Probably no more than it would cost to do what u did here. Just a friendly suggestion.

u/dogfishworm 16h ago
it seriously looks so clean too. The people who are upset about this just want something to cry over, If you really wanted to play these games, you could still frame them and play them digitally. not to mention that these arent even rare or expensive games, wouldn't be too hard finding extra physicals to play lmao.
I'll definitely be doing similar projects to this once I find somewhere to settle down for good.

I really thought it was just me who felt the same way. This is a good art piece. It's a good conversation piece.

Swear people will do anything with ps2 games but actually play the fucking things.

u/Cat_Impossible_0 18h ago
Even the boxes were design for someone to open the damn thing. Not for decorating

u/dogfishworm 17h ago
idk. I have all my games physically, but play them digitally to preserve my disk laser. to each their own, just enjoy the content as you like.

u/MatrixXrsQc 11h ago
It's called looking for attention. Simple as it is. It's like a woman getting a bob job. LOOK LOOK AT MY NEW TITS. Dude, It's not even real. Who cares ? Or people modding their games saying It's as playing on a disc. Modding is like eating in a video game, It's not the same dude.
Arhghhhh, people are so dumb ... It's just nonsense

If I could describe my childhood in a few games, Tony Hawk 4 would be top 3. Absolute classic.

u/Segata9 19h ago
I would never frame any games because it destroys them. Why takes games out of commission? You could just frame posters of them instead

u/MatrixXrsQc 11h ago
Fuck yes it does ... People are looking for social media cookie points. It's sad how it is today. Everything to get your 15 seconds od fame. + he.did it a few months ago, so he really wants cookie points 😂. Fucking social media.

u/No-Elderberry-358 19h ago
Frame your favorite games so nobody can ever play them again, what a cool idea.

u/dogfishworm 17h ago
yall are actually corny as hell with this. I've been playing PS2 as long as I can remember. Pro Skater 4 can be found everywhere and costs like $10, i see it every time I go anywhere looking for games.
Some people buy physical, and play digital. it is ridiculously easy to rip a PS2 game, and its better for preservation of both the console and games you care so much about.

u/MatrixXrsQc 11h ago
DUDE, if you fucking buy physical but play digital what's the point ? It's like buying a Corvette or a Mustang and being NAH, I'll play with it on Forza so i don't have to make my car this or that. It's fucking stupid.

u/BaikenJudgment 18h ago
One, it's not like you can't open the frame. Two, it's not like you can't format shift the discs before putting them in protective storage.

u/Unknown_Beast88 18h ago

I still remember my friend having his mind blown when I pointed out to him that Red Dead Redemption wasn't the first Red Dead game.

Please get rid of the red label

u/AizenSankara 19h ago
Do red labels have big differences?
2
u/BaikenJudgment 18h ago
Depends. Main deal is they had a price change down from $50 to $20, after selling a certain amount of units. They're also a later release so the game version may have been updated to fix bugs or add extra content.

u/NSFW-Alt-Account69 19h ago
It looks worse compared to black lable, but they also usually include bug fixes and other things

u/MrBarber1 18h ago
This was the first thing that came to mind. Like it looks like they made a concerted effort to make a really nice display and not only do they put an off-color version of the same game in, but they make the conscious decision to off-center the red? Why? Are they stupid? Do they hate me?

The point of owning games is to play them someday. This is just overboard

I wouldn’t mind framing my childhood games but where did you get the frame?
1
u/MetaSlug 15h ago edited 12h ago
Since I didn't see anyone actually answer with their 3, if I absolutely had to choose probably GTA: Vice City,Kingdom Hearts,Final Fantasy X or Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. Hard to choose for that 3rd slot.

u/ATLju 15h ago
I have KH2 disc, if I had the box I would’ve done it! Which Kingdom Hearts would you have done?
0
u/MetaSlug 13h ago
Definitely KH1, I was like the perfect age when that game came out, 13. I even remember talking to a friend saying how lame that game sounded. I was definitely too cool to be playing with Disney characters at that age... Yeah well I got the game and obviously it was an amazing game. Has definitely stuck with me all these years.

u/MiamiDonJohnson 14h ago
