If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Around the Network

I sell my games secondhand, sometimes at gaming shops, but mostly on the internet.

I keep all games I really like, of course, but games I grow bored off have to go to make room for better games.



I used to, until I realized years ago that you get ripped off from game stores. Unless you sell them on Ebay/Craigslist it just isnt worth it IMO.

Last straw was when I tried to return an unopened copy of Fable 2 (without the receipt) that I got from a friend for Christmas. I tried to return it to Gamestop, because I got the collectors edition from my Wife for Christmas and now had 2 unopened copies.

They tried to give me the used price for an unopened copy.......unopened. I about punched the clerk in the face.



As far as I can remember, I've never traded a game in. By the time I get bored with a game, or don't play it any more, it's practically worthless. Recently, I've started lending my excess games to friends (I loaned MW to a friend when I got Resistance 2 and Killzone 2, for example) if I don't feel like playing them. Then I can have them back whenever I want them.
Plus, I hate the way places like GameStop and Game rip off people who trade in.
