Rev Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 So, then why isnt he coming here? I think we scared him off somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Could it be that he spontaneously starting feverishly collecting something else like fruit crate labels or salt and pepper shakers and just doesn't have time for us anymore? Oh, Voltron, how like a shooting star are thee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have a hypothesis I was thinking if I should write it but now here it goes: recently Voltron and I discovered some sold out homebrews. There were a very limited production and only a few collectors had the chance to buy them. It seems Voltron wasn't informed and lost those games. For a guy who wants so badly a complete collection and who gave so much to the community, being outside of the party could mean a lot. It's only a hypothesis but I can't stop thinking of it.

LidLikesIntellivision Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm trying to find the thread. IIRC, someone was selling choplifter... I got a bit sad too, I don't like to lose homebrews but it's not that bad to me as it is for Voltron. Does anyone remember this thread?

LidLikesIntellivision Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I really want to see him here again. But it's very good to know he's well and doing some bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck D. Head Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Please return Voltron if only to put an end to this......... Jealous RD? Don't be; if you got dissapeared, I would start an "I miss OSRG" thread and it would only be halfway tongue in cheek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I have a hypothesis I was thinking if I should write it but now here it goes: recently Voltron and I discovered some sold out homebrews. There were a very limited production and only a few collectors had the chance to buy them. It seems Voltron wasn't informed and lost those games. For a guy who wants so badly a complete collection and who gave so much to the community, being outside of the party could mean a lot. It's only a hypothesis but I can't stop thinking of it. I could see that as a definite possibility, but assuming what he's spent to acquire an unbelievably complete collection over the course of less than a year, I don't think he would have that much trouble finding someone that he could pry these games from.

+Steve Jones Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Actually I made him a very fair trade for Choplifter and Scarfinger, I only got one Deep Pockets or I would have traded him that too. So I don't think your hypothesis works. When we made the trade he told me he was being "stationed" somewhere for work with very limited internet access for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 So i'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that Voltron's profession is a military/traveling dentist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 When we made the trade he told me he was being "stationed" somewhere for work with very limited internet access for a while. and when he gets a little internet access he bids on something on ebay... a real intellivision hero.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 We should commission dZ to make a Tooth Fairy game in honor of Voltron. Maybe Carol has a sister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
