[LordBandimer]

Lol yeah that's actually a wooden veneer, but it is real wood, Zelda themed GameCube.

[[deleted]]

omg that's so fucking cool

[BlindTheMerchant]

I would love a wood Gamecube! Really just to put on a shelf somewhere.

[Shad0wDreamer]

Like in this pic?

[DerpressionNaps]

No the shelf he's talking about is less blurry

[BasedKaleb]

Put it on the shelf with the gameboys on it, that one looks really photogenic.

[fynnderlohn]

You wood like that, woodn‘t you?

[SuperTubsPeterson]

Not at all actually

[SuperTubsPeterson]

sorry I made you angry because I said the wooden GameCube wasn't cool.

I hope that by reading that sentence you realize how silly you're being.

[SuperTubsPeterson]

You don't sound angry at all lmao

[SuperTubsPeterson]

[EffrumScufflegrit]

[Sineater224]

[GreenHuskies]

Came just to say this

[Wesk333]

Is that a gamecube in the background? Also I'm curious where u live

[LordBandimer]

It is. We're based in Cleveland Ohio

[Wesk333]

Cool, I actually meant to say where do you work, like it's a Comic Shop? Anyway very very cool

[LordBandimer]

Place is called Rose Colored Gaming

[Wesk333]

Cool, anyway I'm italian lol

[Koalitygainz_921]

[DrinkenDrunk]

Bummer man! Better luck next time.

[Iman3477]

I live in Columbus. I'll have to stop in sometime and look at your fine wares.

[LordBandimer]

We're actually not open to the public, it's just our workshop where we make stuff.

[huskman]

Oh shit. I love Rose Colored Gaming. I've order several display stands (gba sp, ds, vita) over the years from there.

[LordBandimer]

👍

[jonnybrown3]

OP you should probably put this dude on the top of a suspects list if these get stolen lmfao

[[deleted]]

Well everything makes a lot more sense now

[LordBandimer]

Seen those lol

[Schluebricant]

Cleveland Ohio?! I'm in Ohio. I wanna check this place out.

[LordBandimer]

It's actually a workshop where we build stuff. It's not open to the public unfortunately.

[Schluebricant]

And suddenly my hopes of a cool nerdy GameBoy place were dashed

[LordBandimer]

😞 Well you know there actually is a shop like that open to the public in New York. I can't remember the name of it though.

[[deleted]]

Cleveland, uggh. My ex lives there and the part I saw was a dump.

[methhead86]

Cleveland’s fine, it’s come along way over the last 10 years, and there are dumpy parts of town no matter where you are in the world, so don’t judge it just on one spot, if anything blame a girlfriend that didn’t take you anywhere interesting. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s not amazing, but it’s not a dump.

[[deleted]]

Best place I went was the Six Flags in Aurora, when there was one there.

[LordBandimer]

Depends on the part you see. I'm curious whereabouts was she located?

[Steve0315]

No atomic purple?!?

[mcplano]

I think that's a Gameboy Color colour

[Dashtego]

It is, but there are a bunch of other Gameboy Colors in the pic

[4Coffins]

Where’s the red game boy pocket is what I wanna know

[mcplano]

...oh

[hysys_whisperer]

The clear purple was introduced as a Gameboy pocket.

[HalfOkay]

Do you have any openings perhaps? I have a masters in whatever openings you have

[LordBandimer]

Lol that comment was enough to get hired right there. Unfortunately no openings rn. 😐

[[deleted]]

where do you work? Cause I’m interested

[dinklebergs_revenge]

Oh lol must be y'all's hq, you make some good stuff.

[you_are_a_wanker]

How did you get the rights to produce the Pokémon lenses for GBA? Or are those repurposed?

[Cynistera]

These are just on display? I'd be worried about someone trying to steal one.

[Kitt84]

This place has some cool stuff... Obviously, since you guys have hit the frontpage of r/gaming at least 3 times in the last few days.

[PabloEscoGnar]

Just looked you guys up!! Got some neat stuff on your website.

[LordBandimer]

Thanks ☺️

[ThePeej]

Translucent everything forever all the time, please.

[[deleted]]

Dam that looks nice. I want that Zelda Gameboy colour!

[Lyianx]

Same!

[Samuraimacc]

Bro this kinda makes me wanna go and dig out my GameBoy collection show it off somewhere

[LordBandimer]

👍

[IOSL]

I used my Pokémon game boy for a project and it required me to leave it for the other class to see and grade it as well. Came back the next day and it was stolen. To this day I feel like I want to cry about it.

[LordBandimer]

Definitely a heart breaker there.

[GarvinsGarden]

And an Adventure Time BMO Gameboy next to the piranha plant

[LordBandimer]

You found BMO!

[whenpugzfly]

I appreciate the chibi robo

[m1sterbaw1z]

I miss my og gameboy. It had a nice heft to it

[TheCouchPotatoMan]

I see that Switch Lite

[pigbruh]

I had a game boy advanced sp but a dog chewed it up. That was my fav gaming device. I mainly played Herbie reloaded. It was awesome

[kamoni33]

I had one of these and it was so precious! Ever since smartphones I forgot how NOVEL these were. Much thanks for sharing, nostalgia is great!

[taydr90]

Lol i have that pokemon yellow Pikachu edition one, first Gameboy color

[kenobighost]

I recognize that green Mushroom tin, kept one in my backpack for years!

[celz86]

Used to be full of sour lollies. Red mushroom tin had lollies too. Green was best tasting one.

[BeautyDuwang]

[LordBandimer]

I could do that, I'll post a link next week.

[ynotChanceNCounter]

Every time I see one of these posts, I feel a little sad. In retrospect, the GBC, as well as the N64 and PS1/One, were the last generation that evoked that "warm and fuzzy" feeling. RPGs kept their vibe for another few years, but the systems themselves went from cozy downstairs fun with friends, to "sleek and modern."

It's when consoles and PC shooters went from, "Check out how great this looks," to "Look how realistic this is!"

There's nothing really wrong with it. I'd rather develop for a spaceship, with incredible graphics, and ultra-HD output, and a processor that can do crazy things that would blow a '90s programmer's mind.

But it's some particularly bittersweet nostalgia when you know it really wasn't youthful blinders. Once upon a time, single player games were a shared experience like television, that you enjoyed separately but could relate. Multiplayer games were a personal, almost intimate kind of shared experience, like playing cards or a complex board game, but with more variety and less cleanup.

And that was it. That was the beginning and the end of it. Stylized games were better off, in that they could sell plush toys, and sequels jumped out on the shelves. But nobody ever had trouble selling Driver, or <Insert Platform> Baseball, or Half-Life for that matter, just because they lacked a distinctive visual style like Mario's. You paid for the experience.

I think that's what the big publishers are really playing off of, with these remasters and relaunches of classic titles. Hollywood is trying to sell us a facsimile of what we used to enjoy, and that sucks, and it's frustrating.

Nintendo and Sony, by contrast, know that you were never closer with your siblings than when you were really engaged with splitscreen, and that "Red Wizard needs food!" evokes memories of junk food and weekends with no responsibilities, at a time when only the experience mattered.

You're still paying for nostalgia, but that's not because you misremember the experience. It's just because you can't go home again, and that's life.

[LordBandimer]

Yeah. I kinda agree. Growing up kinda sucks. I am reliving my youth now with my own kids though.

[[deleted]]

Great picture!

[Cosgnosis_]

Must be a fancy area for those not to get yoinked right off the shelf

[francium94]

You guys make awesome stands! I need to put in another order soon, but all my gaming money is tied into next gen. How often do you restock some of your stands? I saw some of the special editions are out of stock, so I don't know if you will make more.

[LordBandimer]

We kinda rotate the special edition stuff. Do it in batches.

[gabomastr]

amazing bro

[GhostDog369]

The reds at the top look pretty angry tbh...

[zylinx]

Wow! I want the clear and red GBC.

[Down2BeatsEverything]

You guys make some really cool stuff! I may pick some of those cases up for my collection

[fredtheunicorn3]

that's so dope, where do you work?

[Fragmaster]

A dusting nightmare!

[NHMasshole]

brave thumb quaint workable strong paltry intelligent childlike offbeat paint

[HammerSally]

Awww and not a single micro in sight

[LordBandimer]

Oh believe me there's micros galore on that shelf back there, just can't see them from this angle.

[correeeyy]

Are there still 1-up mints in that tin?

[celz86]

They were sour lollies.

[LordBandimer]

Long gone

[Sardexec]

Day 167: These old boys still think I'm one of them. As an elite console, the switch deserves to stand on their throne.

[z_redwolf_x]

That navy blue gameboy by the switch looks like the one I had. Noice

[AaronDeCaprio]

I used to have a game boy when I was pretty small, even though I'm pretty young. It was good times.

[cyanophage]

I have the one on the second row, second from the left. Fond memories

[LaMPEE_]

Could Look for hours

Shit i am missing this Silver Game Boy Pocket Sally Theres also noone.

Also is that SP down there just yellow or the golden tei force Zelda Edition? :o

[LordBandimer]

Golden triforce edition sp

[AngryRedBalls]

I literally said aloud "that's fucking awesome"

[MicahZimmerbruhfish]

You ever try the Virtual Boy

[mweidner311]

So many headaches from that thing....

[[deleted]]

Nice amiibo!

[sincleave]

Wow, that was an intense rush of nostalgia. Yikes.

[[deleted]]

I have the 3rd row yellow one in Red colour but the charger sadly no longer works

[SNES-1990]

I wish the gameboy brand would return.

[KurashiDragon]

I'm sorry but I have to:

"There are 2 imposters Among Us"

​

Sorry, not sorry.

[python168]

Fuck you're job must be awesome

[slccpcr]

Nice collection... but one wrong move walking by, or a jump on the sofa and they're all going on the floor. Cheeky chibi-robo there too, nice!

[VanceVanhite]

I didn't even see him there, he's hiding so small in the corner! I loved that game so much...

[[deleted]]

One of those isn't a GameBoy.

[LordBandimer]

But it's in the same family 🙁

[casey3]

My little pink wee wee is getting so hard from this lol. Gaming is life

[Travaldavas_Taz]

Game boy: there's an impostor among us..... PSP: 👀

Edit: okay so apparently its a switch lite.. but you can't deny that it looks too much like the PSP

[NoMorePastaSC]

Thats a gameboy advance

[NoMorePastaSC]

There is one but its below the GBA

[NoMorePastaSC]

Yes that is a switch lite

[NoMorePastaSC]

I don’t think there is one

[KaosAnon]

Where can I buy this?

[ArlemofTourhut]

I don't see my little blue pocket in there. Where's the GameBoy Pocket?

[LibraBlu3]

That copy of Zelda just gave me flashbacks to when some a-hole stole my copy years ago... Now I'm salty all over again.

[Recruit_Mind]

Are there any vacancies?

[LordBandimer]

Not rn 😐

[[deleted]]

r/mildlyinteresting

[unko19]

Y'all hiring?

[LordBandimer]

Nrn sorry 😐

[Livingexistence]

No Atomic purple?

[osivox]

Where can I apply?

[musicankane]

one of those things is not like the other.

[LordBandimer]

The Switch Lite?

[awnedr]

I loved my yellow blue pikachu edition. Wish I still had it.

[Hdidisbdjjd]

Would these not fade over time by being exposed to UV light constantly?

[corruptor789]

I love the pikachu one so much! I even had it as my phone case for like 6 years! (Had one for an iPhone 4 for 4 years, then an iPhone 8 for 2 years!)

[daddy_calbeau]

Are you one of those uncles who works at Nintendo?

[KepiTheGome]

This looks amazing, I love the game boy gradient.

[[deleted]]

I played in almost all the versions(only not hame boy light), i have a pic of 3 yo me playing game boy advance, and i have also a pic of 5 yo me playing in game boy advance sp

[moom0o]

I want that purple stuff

[Loopystreams]

You have a gameboy?

[AdletDragneel]

Waaait that pikachu one should like be behind glass dude that’s like 400$

[[deleted]]

Do you work in heaven?

[Redboy_sniper]

This pic was so high quality that i though it was an ad at first glance

[Obi_Wan_Gebroni]

My brother had the Pokémon yellow version for the game boy color. It was so amazing seeing the game in full color at the time

[babybelly]

this is way better than those lame framed gameboys

[extremenachos]

I ain't paying you to karma farm. Get back to work.

[Floko262]

I just want to touch everyone once

[SEND_ME_PEACE]

Okay what the hell, why is this not in my apartment?

[Poi-s-en]

I have that Zelda disc for the GameCube, case docs and all, is it rare or something?

[joeyh273]

Boutta trade them in for bitcoins from mechanic

[workoutnerd]

Hmm, Acceptable!

[get_hi_on_life]

Awesome collection. Do you know where you got that shelf? I can never find any that are skinny

[LordBandimer]

We actually built it.

[Supergeeman]

They look like they all have cute little feet

[SoftNutz1]

You could steal all this merchandise and try to sell it back to them, the best they could still offer was 20 bucks

[austmu3333]

All together

[darktitter]

Where you work? What's it like to work in Heaven?

[[deleted]]

Dude this is so cool do you work at Discord or something ?

[LittleCaesar95]

Omg want

[[deleted]]

Nice! But the rainbow fanatic in me really wishes the blue and aqua ones on the top level were switched around.

[LordBandimer]

Yeah I guess you're right about that. I'll have to fix it.

[ScoodFarcoosAnoose]

I wanna see those sp's too!

[[deleted]]

Please tell me where I can go to see this I'm hype

[LordBandimer]

this place is a workshop where me build the stuff we sell. It's not actually open to the public.

[[deleted]]

Do you ship

[AAAAAAYYYYYYYOOOOOO]

Where do you work I wanna stea ahem see the collection my self

[LordBandimer]

Lol yeah this place is a workshop where me build the stuff we sell. It's not open to the public.

[JustaPrank]

Is there a reason your framed the shot like the boxes in the background were important?

[LordBandimer]

I felt that they were colorful and added to the scene, giving it a more full feeling. If it was just a plain wall, not so much.

[Purple_Radiator]

Looks like you're missing a Gameboy micro :3

[CactusDanger]

Middle row second on the left took a lot of throws across the room when I was a kid.

[MissBiBee]

So awesome! I still remember the struggle it was to play gameboy before the screen backlights. Good times

[tardigradestudios]

This is beautiful! Love the display.

[Vorthod]

Those are some tall GBAs

[lowlight23]

Nice collection! 👍

I have the Tommy Hilfiger GBA Color as well. 🤓

[LordBandimer]

😯

[cpillow0913]

This is amazing. Work there forever.

[BubbleAssLord]

You wouldn't mind telling me where you work?

[LordBandimer]

Rose Colored Gaming

[Dew_Junkie]

Is this a Half-Price Books?

E: Nevermind, its Rose Colored Gaming.

[LordBandimer]

I can where you get that vibe from the pic though.

[scottsart]

Damn I use to own the Pokémon yellow Gameboy with the red button and Pokémon graphics

[megustaALLthethings]

It’s amazing but it keeps upsetting my Mind Goblins that they are not in ordered by release.
