Video Game Rescue: Recent Episodes

Video Game Rescue

Video Game Rescue is a podcast about everything video games; we strive to "bring an old friend back to life". Just because you've beaten a game a few years ago doesn't mean it's not worth playing again. With that being said, we go back and explore some of the best games of the past and take a less serious approach to them. Join us every week for a new adventure into the world of gaming.

  • How did we get our start with our styles? Dustin got in to buying/selling to the point where you went down a road that lead to opening a store.
  • “there is a thin line between being a collector and a hoarder”
  • Why sell if not for money? why sell for money?
  • Feeling constricted as a collector since your collection was too big.
  • Changes in collecting habits (from getting everything we saw to being very specific)
