    Still mad I didn't claim all the listed games when EA was giving out settlements.

    Preordering Rome 2(even though I got a discount) and Sim City. smh. A year later and they're JUST getting around to giving SimCity a singleplayer mode that you can play offline. Leads to my next one..

    Cronic preorderer. Get all hyped watching trailers and end up tossing my money away. Dropped like 250 on Shogun 2 with a chess board(a game I don't play) and statues and a fancy ass box. Only thing that saved me was the guy I wouldve got it from ran out. Last of Us post collectors edition. Just something about art books. Messed around and saw the Dragon Age:I trailer and know they'll probably come up with some fuckery like a artbook/resin morrigan/steelbook/silk map combo that'll I'll have to preorder, then cancel two or three times. Same for whatever they do with Mass Effect.

    First time I tried to play a real game on my computer, 15~ years ago. Didn't know anything about a graphics card. Up here reading that little sticker on the side of the computer thinking 'it say graphic something'. Cue me damn near in tears in best buy because they talking about store credit because the box was open.

    My biggest regret is not keeping my old systems whenever I got a new one. I have all kinds of PS1/PS2 and Genesis games at the crib that I can't play. I have extra sticks and memory cards that I can't even use smh.

    Man who u telling

    That game was the best wrestling game i ever played

    U had all the greats, and the story mode was ? crazy, you could actually branch out and pick different paths, explore and fight backstage, have the option of taunting your opponent or being respectful

    they do not make wrestling video games like that any more, ? all went down hill after smackdown vs Raw '06

    In another lifetime we might have been brothers, most of the games on that list I used to own and was a top player in. Amazing collection and I cosign everything you said fam.

    great minds think alike @Sion

    you aren't a real gamer if you didnt like at least 5 of the games in that collection


    like i said being a kid with some money was the ? , but it was only a one time deal

    I know tons of games (PS2 and GC, even N64) I would love to get, which now are cheap as hell and just spend all day in my drawers playing em like a real ? lol

    but again the me being an ambition filled ? with the aura of adonis, that won't happen unfortunately

    but its nice as hell to reminiscence
