* You are about that game you've always wanted but then at the last minute you change your mind.

* You buy a bunch of games but then are worried about bills so you sell them all to pay for them.

* You want to really emulate the games but love the packaging, instructions, etc.. however you begin to question yourself if you are a gamer or a collector.

I don't know what I am doing here anymore. I don't know if I am still a gamer or just being cheap. I've noticed that I am not alone. There have been others who when they run into financial problems the first thing they seem to do is sell their games...

Am I not a gamer or am I being miserly?

Do you see that stack of games you have and say "What the fuck am I doing? If I weren't in this hobby I probably could retire 15-20 years earlier. And for what? These games could die at any time? Then what could would they be? Videogames don't last forever!"

What's happening to me?

Sorry - I'm just a big distraught. I don't know how to acurately describe what I am asking I just get bits and pieces...

You're turning into TonK... I think it's an STD.

Don't worry, it'll all go away next week.

But it flares up every now and then....and it causes you to marry your cousin.

Your disease is laziness.

You don't have time to post this drivel

Get back to work.

I want to see Vampire Savior ported by the end of the month.

Fuck it man.
Don't think about it.

Just go back to buying and playing more games and it will take care of itself. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
