Yeah, I do. I kinda go through phases where I'm on the computer a lot, and then phases where I play games a lot, but it's usually the computer. I'm usually watching or reading about games though :lol:

I can browse the internet at work. I can't play games here. That skews things a fair bit.

Yes.

I hate myself for it.

unfortunately, yes. I'm so tired by the time i get home at night, that i'd rather sleep/read/relax than game. My backlog is rather upset with me right now...

I definitely play more than I collect... There are few sensations in this life I enjoy more than firing up one of my old NES cartridges that I have not played in years and emitted a deep, profoundly contented sigh as I slip back into my comfort zone and escape from the worldly reality for a while. The other night I took my old Crystalis save file for a spin and the sensation with sublime.

That being said, I probably should collect more.

Guilty as charged. Although I'd prefer it to be the opposite. I can browse the web while I'm at work, and I can buy games while I'm out shopping for other things (or while I browse the web) but playing games requires dedicated time that I don't have as often as I would like.

Yea but I kind of look at it as an investment also. If i ever find myself in a situation that I need money (hopefully never) I can sell a few games and be ok. Like if I needed a 100 bucks I could sell my copy of Little Samson to a collector and at least know that it will be taken care of and cherished. So in the long run I don't see it as to bad. I like the thrill of the hunt. I have never bought a game off Ebay. I've always went out looking for them in the wild but I do use Craigslist.
