Piles of Shame

[Doug Branches]

Kingdom Hearts is still in it's package, waiting patiently for me to finish FFX and Capcom VS Snk 2 might as well be considered still in the package since I have only played it once due to my absorbtion into playing FF

Yep. And I own games for consoles I don't own. (5 PSX games, 2 PS2 games, 2 XBox games)

I own about 15 PSX games, and some 32X and Intellivision games...

But I never leave shit in the wrap. I usually open it and read the manual at least.

Damn right!

When I buy a new game, opening it and playing it as soon as I'm in the door becomes top priority!

Screw leaving it in the shrink! That's for pussies!

Welll with most game I would play it as soon as I got home, but when I'm in the middle of one RPG I don't really feel like checking out the other until I'm good and done

I've got a few games that I got some really good deals on that aren't opened, as well as two more. Starfox Adventures ($12), JSRF ($15), Devil May Cry ($10). I've also got Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Ikaruga which are still in the packaging.

I mostly leave new games in the packaging because when I play a game, I start by removing the shrinkwrap, and don't put it on the shelf until I'm done playing the game (eg finished it, put a ton of time into it, etc).

The notable exceptions are fighting games. I've put about 100 hours into King of Fighters 2000, but I still don't say I'm done with it, because it's still alot of fun to me even now. There are a few games in my list that I bought for DC/PSX/N64/GBA before I started playing games this way. So sad.

I suppose this is OK...but everyone else who leaves games in the shrink is a pussy!!!

Well that sucks, I thought my reason was valid as well...

Whenever I used to buy games at actual stores, I typically cracked open the game as soon as I got into the car.

I didn't see it. It's a valid reason as well. Cary on.

But I'm serious. No more excuses, pussies!!!

Yeah when I was a kid reading the instruction booklet on the way home in the car was a ritual for me.
