Ever seen your gaming or collection photos...

Post by NeoGeoNinja » Wed Mar 12, 2014 1:53 pm

...used in a video on Youtube or in a magazine article?

Well, this sort of caught me off guard, but I was watching a video on Youtube earlier (re: 3DO etc) and a picture I took a while back of my fully boxed FZ-1 just popped up in this dudes video. Was a bit of a surreal 'double take' moment. Still, at least he appreciated it!

Yeah. That's my dining table and err... my geisha ornament too.

I also noticed bitrates photo of all his loose 3DO's (on the floor) made the cut too!

Anyway, anyone else ever experience this? Such is the expanse of the world wide web...

Hmm, I have personally never seen it but have heard of it in the case of them being used as stock photos like what happened to Lemmi. It's pretty crappy actually. If you can't take pics, then don't sell your stuff. It's misleading to use someone elses pics.
This is a stick up! Put all of your 3DO games in the bag and nobody gets hurt!

yeah. It's pretty neat when it pops up. Some of my stuff is very esoteric and rare. The auctions usually pop up on several gaming blogs, which really boosts visibility.
Some stuff I don't realize it is so rare until i start seeing so much traffic.

On the whole, I'm downsizing, so I'm glad other people take interest in some of this stuff.
