I hate you guys (hey it's not what you think)!!

Damn!!! You want me broke or what?

I start coming back to the board and now I saw the Metal Slug 3 is great topic... Now I want it!!

Saw a Metal Slug X is great thread... Now I've bought it!!

Saw that KOF 2000 and 2k1 are about ~130/200$ Now I want them!!

Saw a topic on the XBox... Now I want one!!

Saw a topic about the X68000... Now I want a MSX-2 with Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake!!

You know how much this is going to cost me? Huh? You don't care right? <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[Crying]" />

Anyway, just wanted to say... I love Neo-Geo.com forum

Heh, the same thing happened to me! Ever since I visit this forum, i have spent most of my monies in video gaming related stuff.

I had since bought an AES system and many other classic systems that I would never even thought of buying if i hadn't visit this forum.

Self control?


Screw self control, go nuts!

Awwww, this is so sweet, I hate you too.

Wait, what were we talking about again???

Btw, to those who thought it was really a hate message. It wasn't, just wanted to express my feelings toward the forum here (the fact that I really enjoyed it).

I've noticed a bunch of things about forums since I've joined the Internet about 6-7 years ago. There's 3 type of forums:

- Tech forums: Barely any jokes, pretty usefull for straight forward informations.

- Gamefaqs.com forums and the likes: Can't express your opinion without having a bunch of retarted teens flaming you without being able to prove you wrong

- Neo-Geo.com forum: The only place I could find where you can actually have an intelligent discussion and talk about everything. Mainly because people here are all old school gamers and know that just because it's 2D, doesn't make it a dumb game.

Also, having a lot of people from around the world help expend your horizon. You can talk about a computer like the X68000 and some will know it. You can talk about 2D games without getting flames (unless it truly sucks ) and you can talk about basically anything else.

The I hate you was more because now, because of all the threads about so many great games, I'll have to bust my credit card bill .


[Read only if you're interested in knowning where I come from]

Got my first video game system at 5: The almighty Atari 2600!! Switch to a NES (but kept my 2600) then got a SNES and a Genesis (still have both). Got a Saturn afterwards, then a PSX (sold my Saturn to my cousin, I never had my money and it was a mistake once again after throwing my NES and Atari 2600 collection down the garbage can <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" /> ) Then I had a N64, then a DC then a PS2 (to put my DC on it j/k ) Then, finally, A NEO GEO MVS CAB!!! Dream come true, an arcade in my house. Always had the dream of having one. After I bought a GC for my g/f... Next in line the XBox, a MSX2 computer if I can find one and a bunch of great games for my Neo who begs me to feed him new games.

That's about it for me. Today I consider myself a videogame player and collector. I'm also very lucky that my g/f is into videogames as much I do or else I don't think she would understand .

Haha nice post Nick.

I definitely agree...I'm so tempted to start buying older systems and games again because of coming to this site. But, the only thing that stops me is I can't get sidetracked from my Neo collecting. Definitely true though, avoid this site like the plague if you are looking to save money.

If you wanna save money, this is not the site for you
