sealed collectors?

[Necromancer]

I wasn't tormented or "offended", I just don't like the term being thrown around.

I was speaking to OCD sufferers in general (not just you) and as a response to your assertion of the effects of the term's misuse:

people using the term incorrectly (which seems to be happening all the time) is just making sufferers feel worse

In short, if ignorance or callousness is going to depress a person, then said person should avoid the internet.  It's rife with both.

Is it ok to be pissed in real life? I suppose its like the term fag or retard, people who use them piss me off too. I realize its silly to be pissed off over someone over the net, but in real life, you better believe it, I am gonna speak my mind.

It's fine to get all worked up (though no more useful in person than on the internet) and to speak your mind.  Just don't be surprised when others do the same or if their views differ from your own.

Let's leave it.

You first.

I'm not a collector of shrink wrapped things.  I make fanboys cringe.  I love enjoying my collectables.  When I buy something sealed, I usually open it and take it out of the package because for me it is no fun to stare at some box with a neglected toy inside.  Now I also keep all my collectables in mint condition, but I sure don't like the idea of them being cooped up inside the musty box.

Out of all the pc engine games I've now re-bought, 3 of them were completely brand new.. Legend of Hero Tomna, KikiKaikai and Salamander were all still shrink wrapped..

When they arrived through my letterbox I just tore off the wrapping and played the games.. Plus I too love looking at the booklet and stuff

Shit! I just found out my workmate has anorexia! she says she's on a diet!

If an anorexic person read this -- and saw you using the term "anorexia" in a jest -- it could destroy lives.

Thank god I'm here to put a stop to this madness.

Me too.  I love buying sealed games if I can find them for an affordable price.  There's nothing quite like opening a brand-new game that's 10-20 years old (or occasionally even older!)

Right now the sealed games I own are Sapphire, Riot Zone, and Dynastic Heroes (PCE). I've kept them sealed until my Duo arrives and I can rip open the plastic and get gaming right pronto like.

Lochlan,please go away, you know it was my little way of showing you how ignorant you are.

You're not so good at this sarcasm thing, are you?

Sent to me in a PM by this "rainbow" fellow, who I do not know:

I was pointing out how damn ignorant you are and you know it. I don't like you, I've seen you on other forums acting like a prick, so shut it, weasel.

Seems like an innapropriate use of the PM system to me, but what do I know?  (After all, I'm purportedly "damn ignorant".)

Great plan, just don't let that dang cellophane slow you down when the much anticipated time comes.

I'm that way too! I love buying old sealed games and opening them. I never had any turbo games when I was young, so opening new ones gives me an awesome feeling.

Lochlan, don't make me post links that will show you for what you really are.

OH NOOOOO, I MAY HAVE SAID SOMETHING EMBARRASSING ON THE INTERNET ONCE.  PLEASE DON'T TELL MY SECRETS!!!

Totally.  It also, in a way, makes me feel like a kid again -- even when its from something like the TG, which I didn't start getting into until around early highschool or so.

Another thing about it that I like is that it can be a great education into the condition of games that are fresh from the factory.  I've bought more than one sealed game that had "factory" damage, usually just some minor manual creasing or something.  Even if a game is brand new and has been untouched by human hands for more than a decade, sadly there is no guarantee that you will get a "mint condition" game.  Thankfully, that is not my first priority.
