The most time I spent on multiplayer was the GameCube or dreamcast, my mom and brother like smash bros and SOULCALIBUR

I don't know if those Quake sweaters are real or photo-shopped but I want one all the same.

Anyway my most multiplayer-ed console was on the Dreamcast though I had buddies who were into fighting games. Power Stone 2 is an absolutely great one. Propeller Arena is amazing fun, too bad it was never officially released.

To bump or not to bump?
Cause I couldn't find this. How would you steal this thing? It weighs about as much as 2-3 people, and if you keep it locked, you won't have people stealing games from it either. I seriously don't see how someone could steal this unless everyone in the dorm hated you, cause of the noise it would make getting out of the building, and I think someone would see it being moved, seeing as it's so big and red.

And so come the reasons not to bring... A guy can dream.

Oh sir, you should have more faith in the ability for things to move on college campuses.

Really the best dorm room console to have is the Snes. It doesn't take up that much space and it doesn't get hot so it won't raise the temp in your room. Not even to mention the amount of great games such as Super Mario Kart, Super Ghouls n' Ghosts, Sim City, and Zelda LTTP. I would say get the Snes.
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

Snes games are rather pricey and likely to be stolen. Imo soft modded wii with a 32 gig memory card have every snes nes genesis game ever made. Not to mention the mario party games can make great drinking games ;)

This is great fun, but be careful! After quite a few drinks towards the end of a 50 round game and people are stealing each other's stars, emotions can get a little... heated.

The only thing i can say i learned from my 4 years in college would be: Don't do hallucinogenic drugs in a college dorm. :lol: I can only tell you that it will end badly. I was always close to the gamers and shut ins. Let me tell you that refusing to socialize in college is pretty miserable. Get out, go party, and have fun. You only live once and college is where you have room to mess around. Just don't totally ignore your classwork. I miss my college days and would go back in a heartbeat. I would take a genesis, Snes, or N64 to college.
