Interesting, I'll have to make one sometime. There's always three or four packs of tortilla bread in my fridge.:)Quote:

I find myself now buying more games than I can play and while my backlog is getting longer and longer, the amount of time spent on playing games is getting less and less. I'm buying more for the sake of collecting, which is what I really did not want to do in the first place. I'm nearing a saturation point, with my wishlist near empty, my storage space nearly exhausted, and my backlog impossibly long.
Also concerning money, one of the things that made buying games so special back in the day was that you had only limited money to spend and you couldn't buy everything. That meant not only making hard choices about what to buy, but also that immense desire to get that new or upcoming game that you really wanted so badly, but couldn't afford. And when you did finally get it, it was so immensely satisfying. Now that I can buy anything I want, buying stuff just isn't satisfying anymore. Nor is unpacking and playing a game for the first time. The only things that remain interesting are the hunts for the good deals and the anticipation of receiving packages while they're still underway.
Games are not paintings.Quote:

A month ago I never thought I'd have an interest in the GBA but getting one for 3 bucks has me picking up Gunstar Super Heroes and looking at a library of games I may have otherwise never even looked at. And I can also *try* to flip other finds to even out my wallet, which I also enjoy.
I used to really, really enjoy it. Back in 2006 was my prime, haha. Maybe when I go to florida, I will be renewed but we'll see.
Collecting is a chore for me atm; a couple of years back, I loved it, now, I dread it. Pier Solar was the first time in months I was looking forward to something coming, now I have it, I've played twice and just left it my MD; passion's waned alot for me.
I collect with an eye toward retirement. I don't have much time now, with full time job and college, but that has not stopped my collection from growing. I may not enjoy them all now, but there will be a day when I have more free time.
I guess I'll never understand how some people can all of a sudden, one day get sick of collecting games. I mean, sometimes I'll hit a "Dry Spell", where I won't play a single video game for weeks, if not, months, but I eventually get back on track and play at least one game every single day.
It doesn't just happen in "one day" its actually years of feeling less and less interested in your collecting hobby, until one day you come clean with your feelings and admit that its just not what it used to be.Quote:

I have all of the free time in the world to play games technically, because I make my own work schedule. With all of that time, I tend to find more things to do around the house, or in town, than I do in games.
Well, I can assure you that I'll never grow tired of collecting games, or anything else that I collect, as my material possessions are all that I have, and mean more to me than anything else in the world.Quote:

Each time so far I have had to re-evaluate the worth of each of my activities and whether I wanted to go through the pain of regaining interest in things I had moved on from.
