From Nostalgia to Framed Display: Robbie's Gaming Journey

From Nostalgia to Display: Robbie's Gaming Journey

For Robbie, gaming is more than just a hobby—it’s a lifelong passion. Growing up playing Colin McRae Rally on his dad’s PlayStation 1 and later exploring the expansive worlds of the PlayStation 2, Robbie’s love for gaming became deeply rooted in his daily life. Today, gaming serves as his escape from the stress of modern life, a way to relax and relive favourite adventures after a long day.

Framing His Favourites

Robbie’s collection includes some of the most iconic titles in gaming history:

• The Last of Us Part II

• The Last of Us Remastered

• Horizon Zero Dawn

• Halo 2

• Guitar Hero: Metallica

When he discovered video game frames at a comic con, he knew he had found the perfect way to showcase these beloved games. As Robbie puts it, “It feels like they come to life when they are in the frames.”

Unboxing and Setup: A Seamless Experience

Robbie purchased five frames over time, and he describes the unboxing and setup process as simple and enjoyable. “Unboxing is easy, and there isn’t much to do when setting them up, which is nice,” he shares. “The frames are strong, secure, and showcase the games beautifully with a clear, polished screen.”

Where Gaming Meets Art

The frames are proudly displayed in both his gaming setup and bedroom. Unlike traditional posters or pictures, these frames give his collection an elevated, “alive” quality. “They look amazing, and I always look at them with a smile,” he says.

A Bespoke Experience: From Email to Event

Robbie’s passion for gaming and collecting led him to explore a bespoke framing option. He reached out via email to request a custom frame designed to display a steelbook—open—alongside the disc. Collaborating closely, we built a draft frame that demonstrated this unique display.

On the day of the event, Robbie arrived to collect his custom frame, which had been carefully packed and prepared for him. The moment was not just a transaction but an opportunity to connect over shared gaming passions. After a good chat about gaming, Robbie walked away with a one-of-a-kind frame, designed to celebrate his collection in a truly personal way.

A 10/10 Experience

When asked to rate his satisfaction, Robbie gave an enthusiastic “10 out of 5.” He praises not only the quality of the frames but also the service he received, noting, “Darren does a great job with these frames. Great quality, great service—always willing to help.”

Sharing the Joy

Robbie’s excitement about the frames didn’t stop with his own collection. He recommended them to friends, who purchased their own, further expanding the community of proud collectors. “When I saw the frames at a comic con, I was excited because this is what I’d been looking for. I’ve told anyone who wants to display their games to go to Darren. Keep up the great work!”
