Yeah I agree! To add to this comment get some thin bubble wrap and wrap each game, tape it, THEN put it into a ziploc bag. That way it is protected from water AND any pressure if a suitcase is placed on top of yours.
When you complimented Heckin Steve I thought "Wow, he's already taking the advice to compliment the fellow man" lol. The damaged goods, if nothing else, are at least good for drawing in would-be viewers... Good video as always!
I just Mort and clicked the video. His sub count is CRIMINALLY low for the quality of this content. Immediate sub. Shout out to the folks at Pixel Podcast, that’s where I learned about Mort.
I've been ironing out water damage/humidity damage for years now and what I found to be the best is use a 1/2 composite backing board like mdf or melamine with clear packing tape on it (to remove texture and make water resistant) or anything smooth rigid and heat resistant. Get a 1/8 inch piece of glass from home depot to be placed over the top of the paper. You will need 2 paper towels. Wet the BACKSIDE of artwork with a damp paper towel in about 5-10 seconds it will start to curl then clamp the glass over the artwork while a paper towel is behind the artwork (it absorbs water from artwork) followed by the backing board and use a heat gun to heat up the glass until it is too hot to touch. So the overall sandwich goes like this from back to front - 1/2 smooth backing board,paper towel,artwork, 1/8 or 3mm thick glass. The heat gun will go through the glass and heat the artwork which then sends the moisture into the paper towel and leave clamped for at least 24 hours heating up a total of about 3 times, 2 of them in the first hour and the last in the last hour. You can even remove the paper towel on the last heating to get the artwork as flat as possible. Obviously you need clamps to do this so there is some setup. Overall list of materials: 1/2 backing board (cut to size), 1/8 inch glass, paper towels, at least 2 clamps (preferably quick snap on clamps with a pressure adjustment like Kreg Clamps), heat gun (decent size from home depot). Also recommend putting packing tape on one side of the 1/8 glass so if it breaks it doesn't shatter to pieces just make sure the NON taped side is the one touching the artwork as to not leave lines in it. I know this comment is long so if anyone is serious about doing this I tried to be detailed.
There are hundreds of these "gaming cons" on youtube. (& gaming retro channels) But there is something about Mort that just keeps me coming back!....THATS IT!...his garage! (Oh no I've said to much) Mort just seems like a likeable, honest, truely good guy and it comes thru in his vids! P.S. im the guy that you said could come on your lawn anytime!😉❤
I’ve watching retro gaming videos for a few years now and you’re the first person the show/mention one of my favorite games as a kid. Armed and Dangerous is amazing! I loved using all the cheat codes. The shark gun is unmatched
Great video Mort. Really unfortunate what happened with the weather. Hopefully the airline accepted some sort of responsibility for damages. You handled it like a champ.
I never would have thought to put my stuff in like a ziplock bag, but i might now... sorry that happened, but i loved the video. I really enjoyed the pacing. It kept me entertained the entire time.
Yeah, I basically broke even on a couple items while still being able to add a few things to my collection. I'm still happy, even if it was a bit frustrating.
I had my collection of various things in a basement room. Water heater burst at the bottom emptying the rusty contents all over the area. Definitely lost a few precious items from my childhood collection. Devastating but such is life.
Mort, I'm so sorry for this to happen. It is a marathon in this journey. I wish others would show respect for others' belongings. It's not a flex piece, and I know that it's not your intent. You wanna share with other gamers the journey and love and support for gaming. Theres definitely been some setbacks for collectors. But the most important part of all this is sharing and being part of the experience together. Long live gaming, you will overcome and always persevere. I'm so glad to have finally met you at SoCal with my really good friend Rectwizard. Till next time, I can't wait to see your journey. God bless brother 🙏
Been a lurker on your channel for some time now. Really sorry that happened to you man. Absolutely heartbreaking. I wouldn't say it was your fault at all. Airline shouldnt be leaving bags out like that during rain. Other people's belongings could have gotten damaged as well for all we know. Whenever I grab games on vacation, I try my absolute best to take as much with me on carry on as possible, especially games and hardware. When I went to Japan back in November of 2023, I packed my giant check-in bag with everything I brought back with me that was non-gaming related, and then just filled two carry on bags with my games and hardware. Definitely good to prioritize that for next time. Also thanks to you, on my last Seattle trip I bought an N64 from the wonderful people at Pink Gorilla games, and have been playing / collecting for that now so thanks :) Keep up the amazing content
I don’t remember who it was, but someone had this same issue and moving forward they said they keep all games and valuable stuff part of their carry on bag. And they check a bag with all the dirty laundry in it. And I live in Greenville so please come back so I can give you a handshake good sir!
SEGE is one con I hope to get to in the future! Even though i knew from the beginning what was coming at the end of the video I was still gutted seeing everything splayed out across the room.
Burnout 3 is easily one of the best racing puzzle games ever made! The crash mode is the greatest party game you could ever have. A high point in racing games and it still stands up all these years later.
in 1995 I purchased a Neo Geo AES Gold system complete in box from (one of those game stores that would advertise in the back of EGM and GameFan magazines) that are still around doing instore only salesin southern CA. When I recieved the system, Not only did they just slap the UPS shipping lable on the side of the Neo Geo Gold system box, it also had a HUGE hole in the side, looked like another box fell onto the Neo box. I was so mad, now I wish I still had that system and box.
Yeah I remember the garage vid back then, I mentioned that in one of your other vids. Man I knew about this from the chat we are in but I was hoping you had a miracle like outcome, I’m frustrated for you. But alas, you have great friends, family and an amazing life that must go on! This was a great vid, I love the “Mort in the streets” vibe, you’re like our Conan O’ Brian for the community lol. ❤️🎮
@@MortsGarageagreed! I chickened out lol, I was too nervous to say anything and when someone has a channel and meets a huge channel I don’t want it to feel like I’m giving you my mixtape lol. I just want to meet/say hi…my brain overthinks everything 😐
Mort, stop at a military surplus store and invest in a military wet water proof bag. Place everything in that bag and then your suitcase. Clothing, shoes, hygiene products, and anything of value. We used to use them in the Army. I still use mine for traveling.
Man it still hurts knowing that bag just sat there getting wet. Why would the airline allow that to? Stolen!?!?!? People how about choosing not to suck and don’t steal? The mixed emotions of this video it’s a roller coaster my emotions are going up and down throughout the whole thing. Glad the console is ok I was thinking about that one all throughout the video. Also wifey is a legend for helping you out!
@@MortsGarage we know we will at least make it to SEGE next year. But we are hoping we can take advantage of having family in LA visit them and go to socal next year to.
Thoughts as I'm watching this: ▪Skuljager is neat as a multimedia comic/video game crossover, but as a game, its got that weird European platformer feel. ▪I don't know who Hannah is, but she seems like a fun person. ▪My copy of Beyond The Beyond doesn't have a manual, so they might be onto something. ▪Yes, Burnout 3 is fantastic! Honorable mention to Burnout Revenge tho. ▪Secret Castle sort-of cameo! Those guys have a fun channel. ▪It sucks seeing all those water damaged inserts. At least nothing is completely trashed but not a great feeling to see your thing get ruined, especially stuff you just bought.
Can confirm your powers nullified each other's with Hannah, yes it's a video game thing. On a more sad note, it sucks seeing that your haul got water damaged! I know it must've still been an amazing trip otherwise, but that's what makes it so much worse to see in my books. Hopefully you were able to salvage at least a few things.
Sucks, but at least it makes for good content! 😅 And if you do want to fully get that crinkle out you can. Ironing or heat pressing is the way to go, but you have to have a higher durometer substrate when applying the heat/steam. That ironing board was way too soft
@@MortsGarage I am debating on putting everything in individual zip lock bags. I have done this with my cables and have thousands of bags left over so i figured why not. in some way it would help to sort through stuff easier as well
You know it is very unfortunate and sucks that these things happen, especially to a truly wonderful individual as yourself. The one thing I can hear is the pain in your voice caused by this series of events. It hurts to see this happen to you as a fan of the channel. But it is like we always say these things are replaceable. Not sure if you are a believer, and please forgive me if it sounds too religious amongst your comment section. But I thank God my friend, for the delays and prolonged trip back home. I truly believe God did these things to not only protect you and Josh, but too get you both back home to safety with your families. I say this with true genuine humbleness, love and humility from my heart. Cheers my friend, I know this will be a thing of the past and make you better for the future. Keep being you and sharing the love within the community.💙
So I've successfully been refunded full value for games damaged by movers thanks to insurance. May want to double check if the CCard you used for the flight happens to cover Luggage/Valuable damage. Also possible the airline may be able to provide a credit. Worth a check!
@MortsGarage Yeah absolutely I just wanted to warn others that it can happen while inside the luggage compartment. Sorry this happened to you. I think you can bump the heat of the iron up when using a towel just don't keep the iron in the same spot.
Hello Mort. One question. How many North American releases for the OG xbox collection not including variants? I lied how many variants are their? 🤷🏽♂️. My collection currently sits @ 419 as of today😊 Sorry for the damaged games mort. 😢. Really frustrating.
This was just awful but I agree even if something similar would have happened to us we would still go back. I loved the ending when you realized that that game was never on the Xbox. I had no idea either lol The painkiller one though really killed me with pain. I'm sure somebody in the comments already mentioned it (because I'm late to the party) but try taking it to a comic book store and seeing if they can press it. That would probably work
Sorry to hear that some one stole from scottsquatch hes a good dude idk why anyone would steal from him, also sorry to hear your games got wet that really sucks
plastic bags that seal would of been the best option in this situation. or have the valuable ones in a carry on bag that what i do. sucks that this happen to you.
I think mental note for next time when ever you going to pack your games in a suit case just stop by any Dollar Tree and grab a box of ziplock bags.
This is true

Josh only adds value, in spite of his contrarian opinions!
Just subscribed Mort. Keep the good content coming.
Thank you!! Will do :)

This can also happen from water bottle leaks from other bags.

I guess Mother Nature wasn’t happy for morts gaming hobbies that day and decided to rain hard I hope all the artwork gets replaced in due time
Thank you 🙌
Mort get a heatpress like doublejump games has. Recently bought one at a pawn shop for $65. Would fix all this.
Thanks for the recommendation 😊
This was just awful but I agree even if something similar would have happened to us we would still go back.
I loved the ending when you realized that that game was never on the Xbox. I had no idea either lol
The painkiller one though really killed me with pain. I'm sure somebody in the comments already mentioned it (because I'm late to the party) but try taking it to a comic book store and seeing if they can press it. That would probably work
@@RetroRivals it was mentioned, but can I just say I am ecstatic that our paths shall cross again!!!
Sorry to hear that some one stole from scottsquatch hes a good dude idk why anyone would steal from him, also sorry to hear your games got wet that really sucks
Yeah, but it's all good - still an amazing con!
@@MortsGarage yea I agree
The guys on Retro Gaming Pandemic are missing the boat by not having Hannah in more videos. She's funny. Way funnier than they are.
I love them all ❤️
At least they didn’t destroyed the instructions manual for clay Fighter cut lol imagine lol
Oooof…would have definitely brought that one the plane of so
I press comics and I think you will be able to press those back to Near mint
No way! The ironing did a lot of good, but this is great to know for next time :)
Always send UPS insured
Lesson learned :/
@@MortsGarage and put the song back in
i would make a baggage claim as there fault too
It’s fine, I’ve moved on
why do they not have cameras covering the vendor booths for theifs... i dont get it.
@@juiceanabolic it’s a lot to keep up with for sure :(
The whole time I kept saying “I didnt know freekstyle was on the Xbox!?” But also thought “Mort knows best!” lol
100% burnout is the best racing game
Great minds friend - great minds
❤😊😊😊
😊
plastic bags that seal would of been the best option in this situation. or have the valuable ones in a carry on bag that what i do. sucks that this happen to you.
Thanks - I carried on a boxed console, so these wouldn’t fit unfortunately
Did you contact the airline??
I think they owe you.
And it's their fault for leaving your stuff out in the rain.
It's probably too late for all that. I've moved on :)
Is that Gabbonese?
Everything is!
