When the hell did I make a racist comment?!
Sure slipped by me that's for sure. Unless retards and dipshits are some newly discovered race of people.
Sorry if my insults make you upset. Sometimes the truth of the matter hurts. and telling me "oh its easy to do it behind the screen". Yeah that is a pretty typical response when you dont have a valid rebuttal.... Though, I would definitely say the same crap right to you if you were standing here. Your twin too. No joke. Long jump to my town and we can have a talk!
It seems you just don't like the fact that someone is telling you that your pompous money waving collector posse that sits in with Japanese collectors and does all this behind the scenes special ops crap is a big joke and it really wrecks the enjoyment of collecting/hobby stuff.
What one of a kind items do you have anyway? I highly doubt you have "one of a kind" items. The one of a kind stuff is sitting in a vault, or some bigwig at Hudson/NEC's house. Its not sitting with you and your twin or whatever. I could make some one of a kind CD-Rs of games right now actually. I could take the game im working on , slap together a prototype-like demo, write some crap on the CD-R and put it up on eBay/Yahoo. You would purchase it, yes? Its one of a kind, never released to the public, and never going to be seen again! That means you have to have it! This could be my ticket to having a ton of spare money to blow on stuff.
and as was said, its really smooth to bust out the "omg you yelled at me, youre arrogant" card, and then say some stupid crap about "I enjoy the same, if not better". No offense here but while youre out grabbing "one of a kinds" and all of that, the rest of us are playing games/working on our fansites/working on games and stuff for the PCE. Or posting here to talk about stuff. How much of your post count here has been used for USEFUL talking. The ones you erased and replaced the content with "bored of sinistrons stupidity" really answers that I think. Also, insulting a member here like that (you do realize that since you posted so damn much, and edited all of them, your insult is plastered over like 7 pages of this thread) opens up the flood gates for you to be flamed. From my standpoint at least. You can't come in here out of nowhere and call someone stupid, and then get upset when someone insults you. Hypocrisy much?
Who enjoys what more is not really a competition. I wasn't trying to make it seem that way... Im just pointing out that it sure seems like you and your buddies are more concerned with what you have, how much it cost, or how you got it/who it came from as opposed to what you actually DO with it. I have a friend that spends thousands of dollars buying games and most of them are sitting in a drawer untouched. 12 PS2 games all at one time and he opened one of them. That was 5 years ago.
Im proud that I own the box to Davis Cup Tennis AND it has the foam thing inside it. Its a piece of crap, but man do I own that box like no mans business.
Honestly, I don't think anyone here really cares where their stuff comes from or what collector circles/cliques any of it is from. Cliques and "collector circles" and shit about "oh noone here knows anything about Japanese collectors" is best left unmentioned. Thats highschool bullshit. If my latest purchase came from some crack dealing axe murderer that slaughtered a few dozen people 15 minutes before mailing my package, I dont care, as long as my stuff shows up and I can play it. If the Pope sold me a game on ebay, big deal. What should I do if he does? Make a huge post to brag that I have a game that the pope touched and then resell it on ebay for like, 90000$? Hell no. Im going to post a picture in the whatd you buy today thread and go "look what I got!" and then play it.
on that note.... Some of the users here LIVE in Japan. Do you live in Japan? In fact someone that posts here runs a store in Japan. You are inadvertently talking to Japanese collectors while saying crap about us not knowing anything about Japanese collectors. Bang up job there.
You might know these things if you posted here for real community related topics instead of rolling in to defend dropping what, 150,000 Yen/~150$ on a CD-R thats probably a bootleg of the real one? A real collector would see the futility in hiding away a CD-R and archive it on a PC and share it around for everyone. Hoarding burned CDs is pretty retarded. It reminds me of those dicks back when napster was cool that would cancel your downloads mid download. Its a SHARING program. Stop unsharing.
all of this reminds me alot of why I and a few (dozen) others bailed on the C= community. Too many high and mighty goons flailing around stirring up bullshit. They dont care if they bring the whole damn scene to the ground as long as theyre the one standing on top of it when it happens. We dont need that in the PCE scene. Guy needs clips for his SX-64, one of the guys posts "I have extras but you cant have them". Whats the point? or my favorite:
"I have about 200 of those floppy drives stacked up here! Im not selling any of them though, but ill show you this picture just to be a dick".
