I've just been more focused on building my HO model train layout and getting a nice speaker system put together.

Actually just found a nice pair of Yamaha NS-A635A speakers at goodwill for $20 total on Friday.

All aboard the HOOOO TRAIN!

What is this, VG Uncollect? VG Expel? We systematically make sure we don't own things, and track what we've gotten rid of?

Besides myself and mabye Wartoy, and TheFlea, I'm pretty sure no one here really likes to collect anymore.

I do. I have a collecting problem. Not just games, comics and movies too. Season sets have been my focus lately.

Pitch Perfect - This is just an 80s screwball camp comedy!

The Fifth Element - This movie throws a million and half things at the screen and 95% of them stick.

An 80s screwball comedy...are you high?!

I am only attempting to call attention on the matter of mental health conditions such as paranoid delusions, and bring light to the fact that’s is a very real, legitimate disorder people suffer. I don’t think the OP is a troll, I think he suffers with mental health conditions. A lot of times people see others acting out of sorts, and think it’s a bid for attention. I don’t think so in this case. Whatever his affliction, it’s very much a real problem for him. Unfortunately none of us are qualified to offer help.

Warmsignal. Thanks for being a good person. The forums used to be very loving almost family like. I am kinda getting drained of the energy lately. But theirs still a few that make it worthwhile

Trolls stick together, apparantly.

All, please lay of the direct attacks on other posters.  It's fine if you want to debate the merits of a post, but per the forum rules https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,10628.0.html

• Treat Fellow Members with Respect

a. Personal attacks and harassment are unacceptable under any circumstances.

There is at least one post that I feel went over the line, so I have removed anything in this thread where it even looks like someone might have been specifically talking down to or about another forum member.

Oh fuck him. OldGamerz is a troll.

I just wanted to express: I don't hate GameStop.

...that is all.

I have never seen a game collecting group that gripes about money so much.

I'm pretty much at that point where if it's not a modern game, I'm probably paying a lot. I just set aside money until I have enough.

Recently paid a bit for Punisher and Thunderforce III on Genesis.

Next high-priced item I've got my eye on is Albert Odyssey for Saturn. Will be focusing a lot on my Saturn and TurboGrafx-16 games in the future (and the going will be slow considering prices).

Big sale on Xbox Live right now, tons of games. Advertised as up to 80% off, but I saw some up to 90% even 

So I got Shadow of Mordor GOTY with Shadow of War Definitive Edition (along with all their DLC content) for a measly $10.99. I already had Shadow of Mordor GOTY, but it was way cheaper to just buy it again in the package deal than to get the other one alone.

I also got Scribblenauts Unlimited and Scribblenauts DC in a package deal for $5.99. I played a couple of Scribblenauts games on DS and liked them some years back, so I figured for less than the cost of lunch why not check these ones out.

No one is talking about Baldur's Gate 3?! That game, and Wolverine being console exclusives is starting to make me regret getting an Xbox Series X.

Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune was on sale on Switch eShop. So I got them for multiplayer family fun. Each was under $10.

Probably The Punisher on Genesis I recently got.

Either that or the "Wonder Wizard" Pong clone machine I have. I can find little more than a photo of it online.

I also own Mega Man Legends 2, not sure if that's still a sought after one or not, but it definitely was at one point.

And I have Bucky 'O Hare on NES.

So I got a bunch if games for Christmas. I recently got a vasectomy, planning on playing them while I recovered.

...but what did I do? I played through the King's Field games and Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past for the umpteenth time. 

That’s what we do when we get old. Don’t waste your precious time on something that might suck. Play what you know is good.

Yeah, I'm appreciating remasters and remakes more as I get older.
