I'm not really a collector, in the sense of trying to collect everything for a given system. I just enjoy good games. I do buy complete in box items exclusively, though. The systems I collect for are: Atari's line of 8-bit computers, plus their 2600 and 5200; Mattel's Intellivision; and Coleco's ColecoVision. I also have a Playstation 2, a Wii U, and a 3DS, but I don't really collect for them. Outside of video gaming, I enjoy theme parks, watching movies, playing tabletop board games and RPGs, and reading science fiction and fantasy books.
It's so cute when New Yorkers insist their pizza is the best in the world even though they haven't visited more than a few US States, let alone the world.
Also ever notice it seems like nobody will ever share their BBQ sauce, chili, or guacamole recipes? (Esp in TX)...They simply say Theirs is the best, or maybe they challenge you to compete...(Mine are pretty good!)
