Rag, why only three games? Surely your apartment can hold more than 3 games.

You're right.. I could bring a stack of games...

It's totally self imposed. I've had a really bad habit, inherited from my father in many ways, of trying to make myself happy by buying stuff.

I have a pretty massive video game collection... which really makes me unhappy the more I think about it.

But I still like to play video games. So I'm going to bring a few favorites with me. Bringing my whole collection would, to me, be against the spirit of the pure environment and atmosphere that my muslim roomates are trying to maintain. Not because video games are bad, but because I think that my collecting addiction is not healthy and seeing a huge stack of games every day would remind me of it.

Well, maybe you'll apreciate what you have when you go without it for a while.

Maybe! It's certainly true that I don't really appreciate what I have.

Yeah I get the same feeling often, usually thinking how I should've spent less money on games and more money on charity. I have a lot of games I haven't spent much time with (yet) and not sure when I will, and the money I spent on it could've greatly benefited someone who needs it, but it's nice when I do spend time with those games.

I pretty much play every game I get. If they suck, they get traded or sold. I get what you dudes are saying though. I actually feel the same way sometimes. I recently put away my collection to take a break from it, haha. Reading your views makes me realize that I'm not alone.

Yeah, I find it hard to find the time to play games "guilt free".  [-X There's always something more productive I could be doing. But it's better than watching The View or Dr. Phil I guess.  :roll:

Screw charity. The vast majority of money donated to charity goes to the administration of the charity, not to the people the charity is supposed to be helping. Invest in something worthwhile...like video games! :D

True, but it's best to give charity in person to those who need it though.

THe only charities I support and donate to are those dedicated to helping animals and shelters that help find homes for homeless pets.
