A Question about Sealed Games or Collections? WHAT TO DO

[nathanray]

Well today im sitting in my room with some friends they are browsing my video game collection so they come across a factory sealed copy of Stunt Kids for the NES so they decide to say hey nate why dont we play this in response i say no way dude that games factory sealed i have no desire to open it or play it so they continue telling me its stupid to own a game thats factory sealed if im not going to play it we continue to argue and they keep bitching and nagging about it so i grab the game open it up and stick it in my nes we play it for a while and i start to regret opening something i personally felt should have been kept the way it was but it got my friends to shut up anyways my question is how do you handle a situation where you have a game factory sealed or not that you dont really want to be touched how do you say hey guys dont touch that go play the games on the playing shelf and leave the ones im collecting alone should i get a glass display case for my collection and lock it up or what cause this is really pissing me off

Thanks

All you have to do is say no. That part is easy.

Explaining your reasoning to your friends might be a little harder. Just tell them its a collectors item. I think saying "blow me" and/or "up yours" would work quite well too. ;) What you do with your games is none of their business.

First of all you don't make your post one long run on sentence. Sorry but it was making blood force it's way out of my eyes.

Now.

You tell them to shut the hell up. It's your game collection, opening it was your own fault.

That's all really..

id say, if they want to play the game,tell them to go home and buy their own god damn copy, dont ruin my sealed one!

opening the game was the most foolish thing you couldve done. i wouldve spoke my mind and told them to piss off. but thats me ;)

Even better, keep all the games that you don't want to open somewhere that your friends can't even find them to nag you about it in the first place.

I wouldn't trust my friends to be polite enough to ask me about opening a game that I had lying around still sealed. I've known too many people who would just open it and start playing it and then use the innocent routine on me when I know that they knew that I was keeping it sealed for a reason.

But try to look on the bright side, at least you can play the Stunt Kids now.

This is why you dont let your friends go digging through your collection. Opening that game was really stupid. Obviously peer pressure and you don't mix well. You should also consider learning the fine art of punctuation.

At least you learned with a game that isn't in such high demand, I guess...
