Chrono Trigger. What an amazing game. The pinnacle of SNES RPGs, possibly even the best RPG ever made. Seriously, what a treasure. Turns out that this game is up for grabs on eBay. Even more so, the game is factory sealed. Such things, shall we say, are expensive.

So, who wouldn't want to fork over $400 for a copy of Chrono Trigger, sealed? If you are crazy, and would like to bid on this rare item, then go ahead. But, isn't the purpose of games to be played? What would you do with it? Place it in protective casing? Worship it nightly? Play it? That's for you to decide, I only will provide you with the link.

Better hurry up. Bidding ends tomorrow at 3:14 PM PST. Get your bids on, if you dare.

That thing is perfect. I wonder if it will reach $800?
 
If I so happened to get it (not that I never would because I hate Squaresoft and RPGs in general and even if I wanted it, that's too much fucking money), I'd open it and play it. As one of the commenters at Kotaku said:

"To hell with "collectability value", games were made to be PLAYED, they're not vintage bottles of wine that need to be laid to rest for decades in order to reach their zenith. Plus, what the hell is "collectors' value" anyway?"
 
I can see how owning something Like that would be cool. I'm not gonna lie, at this point in my life, I collect games to collect as much as I do to play them. I just enjoy the search. I love the feeling of finding something that I know is rare. Don't get me wrong, I still love to play games, but really. I already have more games than I could ever play. I've had more games than I could ever play for years now. This is a centerpiece. It's something to show off and be proud of.

This is where my thoughts go and are never heard from again.

Well, maybe not, but this is the repository for all of my published thoughts and rantings. It'll make my day if you find at least 10% of it amusing and enjoyable to read.


Sorry for the other 90%.
