well sort of...

One of the disadvantages of having a large collection and little space to put it is things tend to pile up, and up, and up. I have all my strategy guides, mags and books in plastic milk crates that I use as shelves. Apparently I exceeded their weight capacity. I woke up this morning to find all of it in a mound on the floor. One of the bottom crates gave out and all 9 came tumbling down.

The good news is that amazingly nothing got damaged. I was really surprised at that. Now to find a sturdier method of storage. No more cheap plastic milk crates.

Que dramatic music...
lolz.... :P

I'm amazed that you would have managed to sleep through it, that must have made an awful noise.

Good thing everything survived though

I have mesh, metal "cubes" that I used for my records. You'd have to put cardboard across the bottoms to prevent damaging the magazines and guides, but I think they'd work like a charm. And, they'd fit perfectly into the space that you were already using!

 :beer: to finding a better system for organizing the guides, and magazines.  I've had a few incidents with stacked stuff crashing to the floor.

Shit, when I read the title of the thread I thought you got flooded or something.
It always sucks when stuff like that falls though, but at least it gives you a chance to get stuff organized if it wasn't before.
The other day I heard something fall in my bedroom but it's such a mess I still haven't figured out what fell.

when i first saw the title i thought it would be a perfect name for a metal song :), but staying on topic glad nothing got damaged and it also gives you a chance to organize like nesrules says. hell you might find stuff you did not know you had when you go thru it.

I have like 6 milk cartons full of video-game related print, and 1 with NES games and 1 with atari games.  There useful.
