introduction
Welcome to The Callidus Collection. I'm Callidus and I created this site to both archive and display my
collection of video games and, to a lesser extent, movies as well as provide me with my own little forum
to sound-off on the world of games and movies.
TheCallidusCollection.com features an extensive overview of my game collection including pictures of individual items, descriptions of each game, my comments on the game and more. The site also features my new blog, where I will periodically discuss and rant on all manner of game or movie subjects.
If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear them. Drop me a line via the form on the Contact page.
about me
Who am I? I'm just a guy that has loved games and movies virtually as far back as I can remember. My love of video games was born back in the early 1980's when I was given my first video game system - the Texas Instruments TI-99. My affection for movies sort of stems from my love for acting.
I have been fortunate enough to turn my love of video games into a career as I own and operate a
gaming center called Chaos Internet Gaming Center.
We rent out gaming time on our custom-built gaming PCs as well as deal in buy/sell/trade of used
video games and video game systems.
You'll find that many times I don't agree with the critics and my tastes probably won't agree with yours. I dislike first-person shooters and hate the idea of online microtransactions. I love my retro games and collect them to no end. I want my current-gen games to have story and charecter development on par with the best of Hollywood's offerings... especially if publishers expect me to shell out $60-$70 a title.
That's a stick-figure outline of who I am. As you browse my collection and read my game comments and blog I'm sure you'll be able to fill in the gaps yourself.
