Who else gets made fun of for being a video game geek?

Also I didn't mention, Is it just me or would you be pissed if a 'friend' of yours begged you to sell him your spare SNES only for you to see him light a string of firecrackers shove them in the cart port and throw it out the back door before you can stop him. Not necessary to say he wasn't walking very straight the next time anybody saw him (You'd be surprised how hard you can hit somebody in the nuts with a piece of broken SNES).

Along those same lines though it just pisses me off when my co-workers at GameStop look at me like I'm a self absorbed jackass when I buy retro games off of customers who come in trying to sell their stuff or when I buy retro compilations, because apparently they all know what progress means and I'm some brain dead analog stone age caveman.

Aw $hit man. The SNES shoving was justified.

I've been a Sega gamer since I got my Master System and Alex Kidd... and through the years have had to defend myself against "better systems and better companies" like nintendo, micro$oft and sony"/ I think the most was early in high school when Dreamcast was shut down and Sega went to 3rd Party, so many numbnuts saying Sega went bankrupt and saying how Nintendo's revolution and DS beats out everything Sega EVER released. F U.

I love all games and collect across all genres, including PC... but love the Sega systems the best. I also am into vinyls, lots of classic rock/ electronica, Graphic Design & Photography, and enjoy it all along with life. Being ridiculed for being a gamer or a fan/collector of "ancient mediums" was a norm, but ever since college and working at my local Play N Trade, I actually can talk to people about the relevance of things that are just pure and simple, 'Good'. You know what they say about good games; they age like wine, even though some people don't.

Alright then tell me what makes me such an asshole for being pissed if someone blows up one of your favorite gaming machines.

That and don't automatically assume that I'm some nintendo fanboy Sega has and always will be my favorite game/console company, but it only takes about 20 min. to find a working Genesis in the wild; you try finding a working SNES in the wild for a fair price and then just watch what took you a few weeks to find get blown the fuck up.

Next time don't just assume that I'm a retarded fanboy just because you hold a grudge from a console war that ended 15 yrs. ago. And be grateful you even had what you did you asshole because you're not the 17 yr. old that had nothing but an NES with 6 games from when he was born until he was 11 in 2003 (Who's mom then found appropriate to buy a just obsoleted N64). The first time I saw a Genesis it was already 99' but that doen't mean I didn't nearly shit my pants from how nice the graphics were (To me at least). From then on I've had an obsession with anything Sega.

I'd be pissed, but more so because I was friends with such a jack ass. Did he just do it for your reaction?

Yeah, he's the kind of guy that gets off on watching those smash my system videos on youtube. He used to be alright but then he started turning into a jerk. Anyways.... I haven't seen or spoken to him in months ever since then.

P.S. - Your game room rocks! Where did you get the Saturn kiosk? I saw one on craigslist about a year ago for $50 but my mom didn't want to drive the 20 miles to pick it up.
