Stephen says that he can't stand being in a cluttered room for too long because it weighs down on him mentally. He hasn't had time to clean up the room. But, he had time today so he he cleaned up the office which made him feel better. The process of cleaning the office involved putting Wii games on the shelves, but he had to also put away the GameCube games in boxes to make space for the Wii games. The GameCube games will also go in the office closet like the PlayStation and Xbox games. He has extra boxes on hand to put the GameCube games in. Stephen says not to buy Home Depot boxes since tape doesn't stick on it well. He says that rewiring this room would make him feel even better though.

It makes him sad that he has to put away the GameCube games since he knows that he probably won't be able to put those games back on the shelves while they are living in this house. When they moved in, he knew that there wouldn't be enough room in this house to put all the games on shelves since the ceiling is sloped in the office. So, he can't fit the Billy bookcases which can hold 800 games. Stephen's hobby is collecting video games, so it is hard to not be able to display his games. He hopes that one day they will live in a house where he can display all their games.

The Wii library has 1,260 games and they currently have 700 Wii games. So, there are 500 Wii games left. The amount of Wii games is the about the same size as the entire GameCube collection. He says that it is amazing progress especially since they only started focusing on collecting it a month ago. They still have until October to collect all the Wii games. He says that they have received amazing support with collecting from the community and from Emile who gave them a huge box of Wii games.

Stephen says that they need to alphabetize the Wii games and chose which duplicates to keep. They pick the game, manual, and game case that are in better condition out of the duplicate games. The rest of the duplicates go to Roland at Player's Choice. Then, he talks about how he has collected the entire N64 and GameCube libraries. But, GameCube is more special to him and it felt like more of an accomplishment when he finished collecting it especially since the GameCube collection is larger. Stephen enjoyed playing GameCube games during Extra Life 2018 and Extra Life 2019. He then talks about how there are some ridiculous Wii games and he is looking forward to playing them during Extra Life 2020. Stephen also mentions that they are also doing well with collecting Wii U games. He says that the Wii U game library is pretty small, so if they played 25 games it would be 1/6 of the Wii U library.
