After my first post announcing my intent to reclaim (or mostly reclaim) the portion of my collection I sold off in 2007, I really began pondering the sanity of this choice. As I've said before, my collecting instincts tend towards the chaotic, where I wander the thrift and garage sale landscape picking through boxes and endless shelves of junk for something new or at least something that looks interesting. Stalking ebay, Craigslist, and forums for stuff I wanted (instead of stuff I stumbled upon) was strange and a little uncomfortable. Sure, I could do it (I did it with the C64), but could I sustain the momentum over a long period of time? Could I be happy with this? I suddenly regretted my announcement. Just looking over the pricing of some of the titles in my list made me cringe and a little claustrophobic. How was I, one of the cheapest gamers on the planet, going to get out of this?
So I'm an odd ball. So I am usually the last to post on a blog/forum. So I only post about weird games on weird platforms. So I have a strange relationship with commas and parenthesis. So what? Hey, at least you don't have to car pool with me to work, right? So have a heart, eat a blueberry, and don't forget to drop the empties in the box on the way out. I get deposit on those.
