You do sound terribly spoilt. Let me tell you a story about a spoilt girl I know, let's call her A... A is 20 years old and her dad is quite wealthy. Since she was 18 she started demanding that she go on holiday seperate from her parents. Just a few weeks ago she went to the Italian islands (a long flight, trust me) with her boyfriend. Daddy paid everything. Including the 5 star hotel and pocket money. But this was no special holiday, no no no - she did this twice a year. And she doesn't do shit for a living. Sits on her ass and pretends to be wise and philanthropic. Did she display any gratitude to her hardworking daddy when she came back? Ohhhhh no! The hotel was ok, but the food was shit. Why couldn't she get 1st class seats!? She sat next to a fat, smelly guy on the plane and it was her dad's fault. And the stop over. THE FUCKING STOPOVER. She had to wait - WAIT! - to get into the VIP lounge during the stopover. And the weather wasn't as good as it should have been. Spoilt and (I have no qualms saying it) a total bitch. She will waste all the money she inherents and become a monster of a woman. Now...
You are obviously very fortunate. I would kill - KILL - for a games collection like that. (ok I wouldn't kill, but I'd think about it). Surely you have a love for gaming if you have such a big collection? Surely you can go and spend some time on your old favourites!? How about some Powerstone 2 on that beautiful Dreamcast? And with a little patience... just a little you'll soon have more AAA games in a shorter space than ever before. 2015 looks like it'll be the best year for gaming ever. (but overhype is of course not good) So I'd be grateful if I were you. You sound more fortunate than most. |
im reluctant to sit here and defend myself over this.. the difference between me and basically everybody else on this planet is that i took care of my shit when i was a kid. i never threw away my 64 boxes and i kept them mint my whole life. and most of the games in my collection, i have acquired due to certain jobs that i have had since i was 19. i have never traded in a single game my whole life, and when people ask you what you want for christmas and things like that, and every year you just tell them video games, it kind of adds up.
let me ask you a question, mr. elitist, where are all the presents you got for your birthday when you were 6, 7, 8, 9, 10? what about your christmas presents and other random gifts for all those years? what did you get and where are they now? youre painting a very very ugly picture of me and its based off of pure ignorance. i have numurous times admitted i was wrong about stuff in this thread. when have you admitted you were wrong about anything? have you not been wrong about one thing this whole time? step outside yourself, man, seriously. dont make me seem like im some evil spoiled rotten bitch just because i kept my shit in order. now let me ask you again, where are all your childhood presents? i bet if you still had all your shit, people would be saying the same exact thing about you, wouldnt they?
