When your laid off during the winter and all you get to do is surf....i then found my home filled with empty shipping boxes, foam peanuts, stacks of games, just a mess. Ive slowed down myself when i realized i was paying more attetion to "games" rather than the most important, family and friends. Relationships matter and a game is not worth losing your family. Hopefully anyone with a problem like this will think twice, I did, and still have a family while happy playing zelda and mario!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-91021763913765141672012-07-22T09:15:47.323-06:002012-07-22T09:15:47.323-06:00Very psychological article.

Only with video games is the element of playing games and actual entertainment primary in making my vg collecting bug unique. I collect "complete," "original," and sometimes even "sealed," but there's a reason I've only retained a few rocks, coins, comics, sports cards, and signed books from my prior collections but have never sold off any games except duplicates. It is a DIVERSION based primarily on pure entertainment, not an abstract sense of satisfaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
