- I take a look at numerous methods to give video games custom cases and/or labels to display them on a shelf better.

i’d love to see a documentary of scott slowly losing his mind trying to complete every game in his collection, would be interesting to see
Even Namco museum remix for wii (I'm currently playing at time of writing so it's just on my mind)
Scott playing RPGs? NO F***ING WAY!!!
Could just make Scott, Sam, & Eric (or SSE, as I like to call it) a full-blown Game Grumps-style series where Scott just loses his mind over time playing his backlog while Sam and Eric just shoot the breeze.
@@cb-99 steam train you mean?
@@compitalc yeah. Sorry, haven't looked back on the Steam Train videos in a hot minute, I completely forgot about them.
with the really simple edits and cuts and wording this feels like a mini-scott-the-woz and i love it. a cozy, easy to chew scott the woz viewing experience
Facts
I was thinking the exact same thing
I not knew me could have eat youtube video. You show how?
bite size woz contents
@@GodOfWarConnoisseur bite into your goddamn phone.
Scott forgetting he wasn't playing a character on his second channel and putting a disclaimer after "What the hell's your PROBLEM?" was hilarious
I totally get it he wants to keep his brand squicky clean, but yeah its like hes afraid of putting out a negative opinion with out going "kidding"
@@GamerLMA that's not exactly what i meant but alright
@@dandy-jack what time stamp you referring too? You might be right and i sprung on it
@@GamerLMA niko oneshot pfp :)
@@GamerLMA it's at 16:31
I remember meticulously creating custom cases like this for all of my game boy games then proceeding to never play them.
to be honest, i would never play a pristine custom case for gameboy cartridges
gotta preserve
I love how this is sort of a mix of typical Scott's Stash and just normal Scott the Woz episodes. It's a cool change of pace for this channel.
I did not expect this level of editing quality on the second channel. Well made, Scott.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
This is the most Scott The Woz Scott has ever been on this channel
Yeah this is like an episode he couldn't make work so he decided to do an off the cuff thing.
Scott bought like, 10 Wii U’s but didn’t buy a cassette tape holder to demonstrate how gb games fit in there.
He has priorities
As a kid I would make box art in Microsoft word and print it out and put them in spare cases. I didn't realize photo editing apps existed at the time and I'm still impressed with what I could do in word alone.
I still use PowerPoint for image editing and creating, even for RUclips thumbnails!
@@JoePCool14 I'd definitely recommend something else, I rember it feeling so intuitive when I was younger but damn I tired a few years ago and just couldn't lol
Plus your thumbnails look really good for using word, imagine what you could do with real editing software.
@@lor8262 Thank you. If I get into it more, I definitely want to try using something else. Even something free like GIMP. But it takes time to learn new software so I always end up sticking with what I know.
Gimp and Canva are both excellent choices that I use
I’m loving this style of Scott Stash, it’s very relaxing and podcasty
More like the main channel.
Making paper boxes for games definitely feels like a choice only Nintendo would think is a good idea.
I've always said that "two steps forward, one step back" has been Nintendo's philosophy for everything since the beginning.
Only Nintendo...until Sega followed suit with later Genesis games. Nintendo started a pandemic.
@@jacobmonks3722 That was Majesco being cheap. The cardboard ones were assembled in Mexico, which means it was made by them. The boxes were lower quality and the manuals were in black and white
Video games werent made to be collectables. They were just a toy back then. It wasnt actually a bad idea to make boxes out of paper.
@@gamingnubs7628 Sure you can excuse that in the late 80s to early 90s, but around the 2000s people would expect that mindset to change up a bit
I respect Scott for sticking by his previous open-gate philosophies on game collecting
His previous what
@@rainawareness1495 the way he says there's no right or wrong way to collect video games
@@chalkyi8681 other than a complete mess like a dirty room who really says you are doing it wrong. When I see other collections I see people celebrating it saying" cool " and jazzed and such. I don't see people saying " you dumbass that should be over there." And when someone that says that tends to be labeled toxic.
During quarantine I finally said to myself im going to start collecting and to years later I finally put my feet even deeper into collecting by buying a full GameCube and so thank you Scott I would have never found the hobby without you
what's your collection like?
I want to see it
This feels like an unfinished script for a scrapped Scott the Woz episode, love it
I feel the same way about needing to “see” my games to remember to play them sometimes. It’s why I kinda stay away from digital games most of the time. I’ve accidentally bought a game physical that I already owned digitally because I didn’t remember that I owned it digitally already. Obviously, that’s totally on me.
I also totally lost my childhood copy of Pokemon Silver a few years ago and that was when I decided to get case for my GB/GBA games.
I double-dip digital and physical on purpose, but it depends on the circumstances.
A. It's a niche game I want to support, i.e. I bought Gravity Rush 4 times and "bought" it one time. I redeemed it on Plus on Vita, bought it digitally after my Plus lapsed*, then I bought it physically on PS4 and then digitally years later when it was on sale for $10.
B. I bought a game either physically or digitally, and now the other is available at a deep discount. I paid $15 for the Jak and Daxter PS3 collection years ago, then sometime later it was on sale digitally for $3 (PS3). Why not buy it at that price? I prefer physical copies in order to know I'll always have access to them, but I do like the convenience of digital.
"Yeah I know a lot about 3D Tetris, go fuck yourself." Honestly the best thing this man has ever said.
I’m actually about to start collecting some of the Custom Game Cases boxes for my GB/GBC/GBA collection. Unfortunately, my collection got sizable before I could start getting the cases, so I’m gonna have to play catch-up with that. So glad I found this channel! Love it just as much as the main channel!
I hope Scott playing thru his backlog of games means he will do another Tales from the Backlog video
This is basically a main channel video but out of character and I like that.
One second in and you've already lost me, I've never owned a video game before
Then... why are you... here?
@@NovaMaster375 You don't need to own a race car to watch Top Gear
@@ladsworld Point taken
Scott, you have helped me SO MUCH. I did not know about CustomGameCases and it has saved me. I really wanted to display them, and to me this is the best way to do it.
I might try out the cassette thing actually, it seems really cute and perfect for these games.
I honestly LOVE the cassette solution! It makes the collection feel kitschy and vintage in a fun way!
There’s also the elusive but still possible display cases from stores like GameStop, kind of similar to the spice rack situation
Scott, I really loved how well-made this video was and I hope we get more second channel content like this! The editing was top-notch.
scott's stash is now 2 for 2 on uploading right around when i have a really bad work shift and i couldn't be more thankful
This was a perfect tutorial I've just been crucifying my N64 games, but now I know what to do. Thanks Scott!! 👍
7:40 There are shops (one literally just called Custom Game Cases and another called Gaming Relics) where you can get the sideways art. CGC tends to have the better cases while GR has better artwork from my experience (the mainline Pokémon games have accurate artwork through GR while the artwork isn't as accurate on CGC's website despite CGC having better cases). Either way, cases are great if you have the manual and game but not the original box as people sell the authentic cases on E-bay for WAY too much (as opposed to ~$4-7 each on either of those sites that I mentioned).
Edit: GR apparently doesn't do art now (according to a reply), and CGC has improved their art now. Times change!
17:50 Oops, should've waited until that point there. lol
Yeah, I can vouch that they're a great solution. I use them for all of my cartridge based games.
@@theonewhowrotethis5681 still shout out to CGC. Retro Game Cases isn't too bad but I think CGC are better quality.
@@IamAJoe RGC and CGC are both great. While I might gripe a bit about the accuracy of the artwork for CGC (some liberties are taken at times), but the cases themselves are top notch (besides Nintendo's cases, obviously).
Edit: Sapphire has been fixed, so I've edited my comment for correctness.
@@theonewhowrotethis5681 I really like the labels from Retro Game Cases. The snes ones are very accurate.
@@GabMacedoo Yeah, SNES tends to be SUPER accurate. It seems like GBA and GBC are the ones with some accuracy issues as some color patterns don't match the original boxes.
Edit: Removed the statement about Pokémon Gens 1-3 having the wrong artwork as they've been fixed now. Seems like CGC is upping the art quality at this point, which is nice!
We need to bring back the gba slot in switch cases - tell me in wrong.
the what
@@yggdrasilsaltar DS game boxes had a slot to keep your GBA games since GBA games had disposable cardboard boxes
No, but they need to bring back gameboy emulation.
That would be cool
You wrong
You're speaking my language! Casing up my Game Boy games was a huge ongoing project for me a few years ago. I probably cased up close to a hundred GB, GBC, GBA, VB, and GG games. GBA was easy by buying cheap DS games and harvesting their cases. I think one time I bought like 7 copies of The Bachelor and 13 copies of Deal or No Deal on DS because they were being sold for like $1 each at Walmart and they reliably had the GBA cart slot. For the remainder, I would buy newer blank DS cases straight from Nintendo (since that was the only type they sold), then swap those cases with my older DS games that had the cart slot.
Customgamecases was a godsend for GB and GBC cases. I tended to print and cut the box art myself, but they really came through on some games with box art that was extremely hard to come by. Whatever resources they use don't line up exactly with The Cover Project (even searching the forums) so they really came through in the end. Stuff like Mobile Golf (Japan only) on GBC - NOBODY has Mobile Golf! But they sold me a case with the artwork. Awesome stuff.
I also started on this before they made custom VB cases, so I was one of those maniacs who carved up DS cases with a box cutter. You'd have to stick cardboard between the plastic sleeve and the case itself, then carefully cut out the DS card holder, then trace and cut some craft foam in the shape of the inside of the case with a shape inside that to hold the VB cart... it was nuts. But it worked! I was also clever enough to do this on red DS cases since Nintendo fortunately sold those as blanks as well.
You'll also HATE what I did for XL sized carts like WarioWare Twisted and the GBC rumble games. I took two DS cases, literally drilled matching holes into them and bolted them together with actual nuts and bolts, THEN did the box cutter surgery. Only this time you had to go straight through the back of one case and the front of another in order to make a case deep enough to hold the cart. Then for the artwork you bizarrely had to print off two different pages and kinda line them up since you still had two different sleeves. It was an absolute hackjob but I couldn't stand the thought of an uncased game. And now they sell custom cases for those too... could have saved me hours if I had just been patient!
every 5 seconds Scott switches from being kind and allowing people to do what makes them happy to cursing the names of anyone who guts DS boxes.
damn i don't see scott the woz really do videos like this but to be honest, i love seeing a more relaxed experience from him, especially as his projects get bigger and bigger, it's just kind of a nice switch-between that i love
I know a lot of others are saying it but I gotta say I like the way Scott just kinda talks about the game collection and getting to peek a bit behind the show curtain.
The personality and "cinematic universe" of the Scott the Woz persona is still incredibly entertaining, but I like the down to earth talks too :)
I love this new style of Scott's Stash videos. It's just like his normal videos but unscripted and more personal.
Still can’t believe Scott films these on the back of his giant sleeping Bichon Frise
Honestly this more improv-y Scott is pretty cool. It feels like he's really talking to you(though not saying the scripted and polished episodes are inferior)
Is Scotts Stash better than the main channel? Debatable. Am I just as excited to watch it? Yes.
We’re seeing the birth of a special Scott The Woz Lost Episode
Love the content upgrade! This feels more like a Scott the Woz lite episode or something instead of just Scott rambling (which is still enjoyable tbh)
Casette cases are a nice idea I hadn't thought of for GBA.
This is a fantastic video about a topic you've made very interesting. I think the way the new Scott the woz episodes seem to prioritize jokes over information really made me miss the older videos where we'd just get a lesson on novelty videogame history. Very good video.
Scott and I really have the same views and feeling on a lot of things especially in relation to collections but his humour in main videos is hit or miss for me so I love videos like this, thank you scottniak
For the N64 games, I bought a Nail polish display rack to mount on the wall. It looks great and I can fit my favourite 40 or so games on it. There are a variety of sizes and designs.
The most Scott Wozniak thing ever is owning a custom case for Megaman soccer
There truly are a lot of games that just weren't made with a case. It's especially an issue with some of the more obscure games where I want to preserve them, but have trouble when all I have is the physical game.
I like how Scott brought the carpet from his old apartment over to continue putting games on it
The warning at 16:34 is really funny because in-character Scott would say something like that unironically with no qualms lol
I've recently discovered the cassette tape cases being used for GB/GBA games and specifically found an etsy seller who 3D prints these custom holders that go inside them to, well, hold your game in place. I was surprised how effective these cases were and I think I prefer these over DS-esque cases because visually they stand out a lot more. I feel like DS boxes are really good for DS games but having it with a different GB label just has a hard time distinguishing itself on my shelf. So in that regard, I love how combat and unique the cassette cases are for storing GB/GBA games
Cool! Do you have a link or the shop name? TIA!
YEAH SCOTT! HES EMBRACING THE CUSTOM GAME CASES LIFESTYLE
There should be a full Scott the Woz episode about various custom game cases
The sound of the custom game cases opening and closing is very satisfying to listen to
Holy fuck. Scott's talking to the camera about video games while not in character
Those gameboy and gameboy color games cases are genius!! The quality of the print is 🔥too. Thanks Scott! 😃
Every day, Scott’s stash videos become more and more like Scott the Woz videos
His character is corrupting him
im doing the cassette case thing for my gameboy/ advance games. the only hassle is trying to make box art because i cant figure out how to use the cover project. but it looks so good! and i have a cassette rack coming in the mail so it will look even better!
Main reason why I end up getting the custom cases for NES and SNES even though they already have labels is because I also enjoy collecting the manuals and the custom cases are the perfect way to store them while being displayed nicely
I started grabbing custom game cases for my NES-N64 games, I love how they look on the shelf, I'm super nostalgic for the 3D modeled 90's box art so I love having it just for the box art alone.
I actually tried the Cover Project method. I bought quite a few DS cases with GBA slots and printed off cover art. I’m content with it.
I'm surprised this was a Stash episode, defo had the length and quality of an official channel upload :-D
Surprised that Scott didn’t talk about repro cardboard boxes that look like the originals. That’s what I always use because I like the original look of those.
Scott is back in the stash one again
Those cases are super cool! Nice collection!
Finally, a decent way to display GB games!
Man even the stash videos are put more effort then needed
I love the more laid back style vids we get from Scott on this channel
This is like a full fledged scott the woz episode. You should post it on the main channel!
I really like these kind of videos for a change. It’s like a friend is talking to me.
THE WAY SCOTT HAD THE GBA GAMES BOXED UP WITH THE ds CASE WAS AMAZING TO SEE ON SHELF wWITH CUSTOM LABELS JESUS
Oh man thanks for the heads up about custom game cases! I just ordered a handful of them now that I know they exist!
Finally something to listen to while cutting up DS cases to put original Gameboy games in.
Scott the Woz wants to: Know Your Location
Even in a new house with heaps of space, Scott still defaults to his classic criss-cross applesauce with the camera pointed down at the carpet.
the carpet isnt real have you seen the twitter post
OMG! A 2 YEAR OLD WHO PLAYS ROBLOX! ROBLOX=CRINGE!
@@KennyMcCormick49 what was the reasoning for this comment
You play roblox and use a broke ass galaxy s3 and live on the streets and you wear ripped underwear. Meet me in Penisylvania Phesant road
@@KennyMcCormick49 bro i literally just pointed out a neat fact and now your judging me for the games i play, which i never mentioned anything about, grow up.
I am just so stoked that Scott’s back!
23:01
This channel is amazing
i will admit, i was 100% a case carver back in the day simply because i discovered my dad's box cutter and figured "well it can't be *that* hard", but i absolutely love that there are so many fan-created methods for display that can really up the presentation value and respect for each and every game.
People are forgetting it's his birthday.
Happy Birthday Scott!
You can use an acrylic nail polisher stand for your portables games. They do a really good job to display them and make them available ASAP.
i love chill videos like this
I love the idea of casette tape cases for GB games. It's super easy to find casette racks in thrift stores too, so they're easy to display in a compact way. I may have to do that!
I've always thought of trying to use a binder for trading cards and use trading card sheets or coin sheets to store Gameboy or DS games. Haven't tried it yet myself, but it would be really cool to flip through your games like trading cards if it worked!
I've seen that at video game flea markets! Works but get kind of heavy and finicky when there's a lot of games in one binder
I’ve seen that at my local “nerd” store. Very effective and super easy to see everything.
“I know another way people organize n64 games”
Sharpie
If tales from the back log comes back I can die happy
I love how Scott doesn't even like SMT and still owns a copy of Jack Bros.
You also just *know* how much money it cost him.
i could listen to a whole 4 hour podcost of scott talking like this
I love these "Diet Scott" style videos!
I made a lot of those covers, nice to see them getting put to use!
Congrats and thanks for your work
This video really changed my collection for the better. Since it was posted I've been able to get cases for just about all of my GB, GBC, GBA, and Virtual Boy games and they look amazing on the shelf. Thanks Scott!
this feels like a mini main channel video i love it
17:37 This is the best sponsored content tailored to my needs.
Okay but how did i not know this channel existed. Love these videos so much more than the Scott the Woz omg
It’s a blessing to have a sleep over in his house.
YOU HAVE KNUCKLES CHAOTIX?!
Oh and thank you Scott! This website is a dream for the games that come in cardboard boxes.
This feels like a mini Scott the Woz episode and I'm not complaining
As someone who beat Metroid 2 as a child your line about you being a masochist for playing it hit me hard. I think that's why I like hard games to this day.
Scott I like this channel more than your first one. Please never stop uploading here. You feel very relatable, I feel like we could've streetpassed back in 2013 and played maro kart together
I swear Scott's hands are their own sentient beings.
Master Hand and Crazy Hand
I recently started ordering from Custom Game Cases as well. They make amazing cases. Trying to get all of my cart games boxes up…it’s gonna take a while.
the most "Scott the Woz" Scott Stash video.
I have all my games on my shelves in alphabetical order by series and _not_ by console. Having that mishmash of styles and case sizes together is visually pleasing and interesting to me.
I'm surprised Scott didn't mention custom cardboard boxes for the games
That has been a huge savior for me
The editing of this video is so good and chilling
i thought he said we've all boned a video game before and i had to replay him like 6 times to realize he said we've all OWNED a video game before
Well, have you?
I hope we get a house tour some day
