This Week in the Community: I came, you came, we all came photo

Today’s gaming setup belongs to ecresto and his giant collection of stuff. He has over 1500 games and 47 unique systems and handhelds. Yes, unique as it looks like he collects special edition versions of systems too. Just look at all of those Xbox 360 boxes! He also has various videogame related action figures and really loves 2Pac. Check out the rest of ecresto's giant collection over on his C Blog.

Jestarinc made a sweet Dtoid stencil, a new NARP shirt is in the works, DtoidSanFrancisco is working on a NARP later this month, thepelkuslives wants to start up a Seattle NARP group, The GHost and Snaileb have returned and plenty more happened this past week in the Community.

The week in the community begins with old man Y0j1mb0 fondly reflecting at a full year of Destructoid and recalls how much the site has evolved since he has been with us.

There were a couple of long time Dtoiders who made their return this past week. The GHost has returned to areas with actual working Internets and and is ready to party with Dtoiders in the London area on November 27th. The GHost is one of the greatest guys I've meet through the site and he seriously needs a good night of getting hammered now that he's coming back from Africa.

Be careful the Xbox's weight might make that second shelf collapse.

I'm not sure when comparing weight, but contrary to popular belief. The Xbox was not the largest console of all time. That distinction goes to the Atari 5200



But since few today even remember the 5200 or even know it existed for that matter. It doesn't get the recognition it deserves as being the largest console ever. It was pretty darn heavy too, but the Xbox was probably heavier.

Actually I stand corrected. The Angry Video Game nerd just told me the Philips CD-i was the largest console ever.

The Phillips CD-i wasn't even a real "console", as it had numerous models from different manufacturers. It was more a sort of failed interactive media format, that happened to run things you could loosely call "games".

Also I love that that fgt posted asking to be on the frontpage, and now 5 months later, he finally is (and I'm sure has no idea).
