So whats your guilty pleasure, what do you spend money on when you know you should'nt? smoking, beer, garbage pail kids cards?


I spend way to much on video games, the invention of the used software retail stores is my greatest weakness. I currently have 50+ PS2 games, about 40-60 PSX games, 30+ Dreamcast games and too many PC games to even remember but its probably close to 100. I just bought a Gamecube a few weeks ago and I've already bought 6 games for it. The sad thing is that I've only played about 20-30 games out of the entire collection, currently I can't seem to let go of Morrowind. That game owns me

DVD's & video games. Bought an Xbox a few weeks ago and I'm up to ten games with about thirty more I want to get. And just dropped $200+ buying all the Lexx DVD's that are available. For someone that doesn't have a job, I'm buying a lot of stuff.

ATHD is killing me. I'm pretty sure I have > 1TB of storage around the house, enough dells that I just sell them off almost as fast as I get them. It's gotten to the point that people come to me b4 stopping at staples or compusa. I should start a business or something.

If you can wait till sometime this summer, MS is supposedly going to be releasing a re-designed Xbox for $150. Haven't checked on the status of the rumor in a while, so this might not be true.

Yeah I play a lot of video games. I waste a lot of money on candy, and also I spend a lot on computer stuff I don't need.
