I just hope nobody tries to bring back “gaytarded”. It’s probably been over 10 years since I heard that one used. But like others here, I don’t hang out with kids either. Hard to say what’s being said these days.

General / Re: What's your focus area?

I focus on the current gen because most of the stuff is easily attainable and in perfect condition.

General / Re: Do you ever intentionally choose first print over deluxe edition?

« on: January 27, 2020, 03:07:08 pm »

I prefer the original releases to the GOTY/complete editions. Some of the games this gen and last had multiple tweaks to the cover art, due to unique character skins from different stores. I didn’t bother trying to hunt em all down though.
The last game I collected the different artwork for was Mortal Kombat Deception on Xbox.

My friends thought I was cool. I was invisible or avoided by everybody else haha.
I really didn’t pay much attention to the “bullies”. I stuck with my circle most of the time and could probably handle myself otherwise.
I got along with everyone for the most part. Beer made my teens more enjoyable as well

Been wanting to pick up Terminator for Xbox. Bestbuy site still says sold out. Would buy elsewhere, but I want my 20% off.

General / Re: What Games Or Devices You (Don't) Want In Your Collection Currently? And Why?

Same here on the PC games. I tend to not want them in the collection.

General / Re: What are your thoughts on collecting physical re-releases of games you own?

« on: January 24, 2020, 10:18:51 pm »

I’ll usually pick em up. Recently bought Onimusha for Xbox One.
I made the mistake of getting Baldurs Gate I and II though. I was expecting the Dark Alliance PS2 version and not the PC game.

Modern Video Games / Re: Is price much of a factor when you pick a console at the start of a generation?

« on: December 23, 2019, 03:07:35 pm »

Not these days. Gaming is pretty much my only hobby.
When I was younger, still living at home, working a part time minimum wage job, it absolutely made a difference.

General / Re: What Games, Consoles (etc) Do You Remember Having in Childhood?

« on: December 04, 2019, 02:14:06 am »

Had a 2600 at my grandmas house and an Intellivision at home. Prob had about 25 games of each.
My mom would let us pick games outta the bargain bins from Sears, Gemco, Kmart etc. Most games back then on clearance were in the $2-$4 range.

General / Re: Collector, Gamer or Reseller. Which do you consider yourself the most of?

« on: December 01, 2019, 10:39:23 pm »

70% collector 29% gamer 1% reseller

I find myself playing a lot more arcade games lately and only a handful of console games I pick up. Most you can run through in less than 30 minutes.
It’s rare that I sell something once I buy it. I don’t typically buy lots because I don’t have the time to try and flip all the crap I don’t want to keep.
Most of my dupes will eventually be traded down the road if I ever come across the hard to find stuff I’m looking for.

General / Re: Do you feel satisfied if you just buy stuff you want off of eBay?

« on: November 24, 2019, 12:42:52 am »

If it’s not on EBay, I’ll prob never find it. No sense in limiting yourself to an x mile radius.
