Gaming - My Gaming Dilemma - View Post

Soriku.

You are so full of excuses.

Sadly, I don't think that it is totally your fault, but the fault of your parents. You don't need them to buy you games, you need to buy games for yourself. My parents hardly ever bought me games, but somehow I amassed over seventy PS1 games, adn 100 PS2 games. How and the hell did I do that? Looking back, I don't really know. But what you can do is trade games with your friends. There are twenty one million Wii owners out in this world. I'm sure you know one or two, and maybe you could trade games with them.

It's too bad that many parents are raising their kids to grow up and not giving them tools necessary for life. Did your parent's buy you the Wii? If so, have they bought all the games and accessories for said Wii? What have you bought in your lifetime? Did you buy the computer/laptop you're using to post this sob story? Did you buy the chocolate milk that you're drinking right now? Did you buy the pencil with which you complete your homework? I'm most assured that the answers to all of these questions are no.

So here's what you do:

First, don't just go up to them and ask them to buy you Super Smash Brothers Brawl, drop hints all around the house. Leave the flyer from best buy opened on the living room table with SSBB circled. Or gently mentin it when your parents are in a good mood. The kicker is to go above and beyond and do things around the house that you don't normally do like cook dinner, clean up the kitchen, etc. Maybe they will reward you.
