Back to the issue, though, while the reason I became a collector was to get back what was sold, I've found myself opening up to a lot of other great titles on various systems. It's still my biggest goal, but not the only one, and not so dominant in my life that it consumes all of my time.
I really do appreciate the time everyone has put into their responses (especially scaleworm, I feel ya on the time troubles, for a while dad was limiting my ENTIRE usage of the TV for a day to one half-hour) and I think, more than anything, this has been a good way for me to vent about an issue most people I still know IRL (all near or over 50) would just laugh off.
