ResidentDarrell

Hosted by Darrell — hunting with his family

Darrell and his family hit flea markets, thrift shops, yard sales, game stores and expos hunting for video games in the wild. Every video is a pickup hunt: you never know if the next table is a bust or a gold mine — and that's the fun of it.

PG crossover: Darrell isn't just a friend of the site — you'll also find residentdarrell on the PG Trophy Leaderboard, chasing trophies alongside the crew.
