where's the story, CRT? And how do you keep track of what you already own when you're out? Seems you own tons of stuff, complete and partial.

I bought Darth Vader and Son and Vader's Little Princess for my girlfriend's birthday. They're freaking adorable.

I have bought repeats by accident, but not too often. At least as far as I can remember, really I am not insane just overbuying games. During Swap Meet and BookOff runs, I have called my son back at the house quite a few times to verify what is "in stock" on the shelves and piles. :lol:

I leave the price labels on until after the photo shoot. Also goes in the test/take the picture pile. Once in a while a game slips by from the posting, and is the current "play these games pile" by the consoles. :oops:

You post a lot in this thread, but you never seem to talk much about games you've been playing/have beaten etc in other threads. Yet you seem really annoyed when people sell on expensive games rather than trying them out, so I assume you must be playing the games you buy.

I have not posted full out dedicated reviews for a while, but I do play all the games I buy. I do post a couple sentences of each game here which is much better then just posting a list of purchases. NONE ARE BOUGHT WITH PLANS TO RESELL. However, when I see a good value such as the extra CIBs of PS2 Ico I end up buying them.

I should start updating my Wii/Gamecube Thread which does have a good assortment of reviews from past purchases of games and hardware. Do you want to see what I play and post?, take a look. I guess lately too busy buying and playing, not making time to write in depth reviews. :?

Pretty much my starter lot, I have had my 2600 for awhile but only had managed to get a few games for cheap / what I am willing to pay for them.

Cool, Berzerk is one of my absolute favorites. Make sure you play one of the game modes with Evil Otto.

I have played most of them before, love Beserk. With the the 2600, I prefer not to put any money into it as even the games I like most, tend to get played for 15 minutes once in a blue moon.

That being said my Dad came over and we played Dodge Em and had a few beers, he gets oddly competitive with arcade games.
