What's your opinion on collecting sealed games or collecting for the sake of collecting

[needler420]

Because that's what you are unfortunately. This site is dedicated to "pac-rats" and people with library sized collections. The very people you have attacked repeatedly in this thread. You're welcome to your opinion and to participate on the site, but going somewhere designed and dedicated to people who are collectors of video games and then attacking those same people for collecting in the very manner the site is designed to support is classic trolling.

Instead of focusing on making your argument in an intellectual and well thought out manner, you repeatedly attack and name call anyone who has a different opinion than your own. You did the same thing on CAG and you were suspended. You've expressed your opinion. Others have expressed theirs. This same topic has been debated for years. You're not right and either is anybody else because it's all a matter of personal opinion. Hopefully the mods will lock this thread up just like they have locked up all the others that have debated the same issue over and over and over again.

Again this site is not just dedicated to collectors. It's also for retro gamers. Keep waiting you're time.


And I was suspended from CAG for derailing threads after I was told to stop. Not for attacking people or name calling as you make it out to be. Basically exactly what you're doing to my thread derailing it hoping for mods to lock it.

It even said that on my ban. It said take a week off since you can't seem to stop derailing threads after told not to.

Very well said.

He's probably too busy buying games more then playing them.

I mean if someone owns like 1,000 games but played only like 100 of them then you can't expect them to make good topics. Unless you want to hear about their nostaglia for their childhood games and the same repetitive thing.

The reason there are lots of topics similar is because people are expressing their opinion on what they think is a stupid habit. Between the VGA and a new breed of collectors out there it's not that surprising.

What's even funnier is watching the collectors come out the wood work all butt hurt saying that are opinions are pointless and were forcing our views down peoples throats. I tell them the samething back I think their opinion is pointless.

If you weren't behaving like such a troll, showed a little respect to the established community you've recently joined, and actually spent a little time reading and learning about the people and atmosphere here, you might realize the half dozen incorrect things you wrote in that post. Alas, you've already previously demonstrated your complete lack of reading comprehension ability, in a topic I created no less. Apparently your memory is just as poor.

If you honestly believe that the majority of the people here just collect for the sake of collecting, and you have a problem with that, why are you here? Sorry to break it to you, but most of the regulars have pretty large collections. If you're on some crusade against collectors and people who have big backlogs, I don't think you'll find much company around here. But contrary to what you may believe, most people here DO enjoying playing the games they buy, even if they don't have enough time to play through every single one of them just yet. If you want to talk to gamers who have more free time than games, go to GameFAQs and talk to some 13-year-olds. Otherwise put on your big boy pants and accept the fact that adults have things to do and can't necessarily play through every game they own right now, whether they want to or not.

OK, I change my mind. I don't think he's a troll. I think he's a prankster. This is some elaborate ruse, some set up. What's the punchline, needler? :roll:

His UN is "Needler"... which sort of suggests he will be annoying!

This is about the 1000th topic which has degenerated in to:

"Sealed game collectors are fools? Why aren't you playing the games?! They are GAMES"
"Collecting is about collecting stuff and having it in good condition! People collect stranger stuff! I like to collected them!"
"I don't give a toss either way, if it makes you happy, just do it"

With a hint of:

"The VGA is ruining the market."
"The VGA and their customers are idiots."
"I've got a 95 rated game in a carbonite tomb that will survive the apocalypse! Joke is on you suckers!"

All I have to add is..

I own a Mega CD. It is fantastic. Rather than bitching on the internets go out and buy one. You'll hate it, but you'll love it at the same time. It's like oogling a picture of Diana Rigg from her glory days. Sure, you know she is old and wrinkly now, but damn it she was hot back then.
