Anyone else have this problem?

Haha, yup. I own about 300 games that I've never played.

This "backseat gamer" shit has happened to me a few times, as I'm not particularly GOOD at video games. Worst incident happened just this June. I was at an anime con playing Super Mario Bros. 2 in a game room. This girl behind me would NOT shut up. She was incredibly patronizing, asking if...

Me chillax0ring. Taken right after work, which is why I'm wearing a tie.

That's a good suggestion. I have MAME, but I'm not in love with it. Probably because I haven't figured out how to use it 100%. As far as consoles go, I own most consoles except for the more obscure ones (see my signature).

I've had one for only a week and I already think it's cool as shit.

Any recommendations? I like shmups, but to tell the truth, I suck balls at them. I own two right now: Castle of Shikigami 2 and DeathSmiles.

But my wife called and yelled at me when she found out I was shopping for games. Maybe I'll return next week and ...

Sometimes I get really caught up in anime, or other things that keep me busy instead, but I doubt I've ever gone a month or so without playing a videogame. Well that's how I am these days. I try to play an hour of video games a night (more on Fridays and Saturdays), but will take the night off if I...
