I am...well...both. More a collector now than a player.

Before, I would get games to play and collect. I loved getting the newest game, finishing it, then getting a new one. Those were great times.

However, as time transpired, I kept getting more and more games, to the point in which I could not play them all. To date, around 90% of my collection has yet to be played.

The problem of getting alot of games is that, besides never playing them, I get immediately bored with them when I do play them. Before, I would stick to a particular game, no matter what. Now, if I start playing a game and I don't like it, it will be "forever shelved", meaning that I may never play with the game again. Also, my patience has diminished quite a bit during the past few years, to the point that if the game is even a tad hard, I quit. It must be a GREAT game for me to continue with it.

Sometimes, I think I should stop collecting and play the games I already have. Hell, I bet I have enough games to last a lifetime.
