5 Signs you Own Too Many Games

A few weeks back, Lee from Quit your Day Job posted an entry called the Top five signs that your DVD Collecting is Getting Out of Hand, and during the course of discussing his list, well, I discussed my video game collection, and in doing so, a post concept was born... err, ripped off rather.



1. If you calculate in the time it will take to finish all those games, you realize that do at least one of the following: a) complete the in class hours for a 4 year bachelor's degree b) complete the writing of novel of 350-550 pages long based on an average writing speed of at least 150 words per hour c) watch 500 of the greatest movies ever made and still have time to watch the entire run of multiple tv series. Despite this, you still nonetheless want to see them through.

2. You own more games than you do movies(in any format). Yes, I own far more games for the various systems I have than I do movies on DVD and VHS cassette.

3. You have not only bought multiple copies of a game including buying additional copies as part of a set or getting a collector's/special edition of a game, but you have at least one instance of unintentionally buying a game that you already own.

4. You now find that you can identify many of the voice actors by name in any game you play now, but you have actually gotten interested in a game because a particular voice actor or actress was in it. I've bought games because Jennifer Hale and Jim Ward were in them.

5. You own more games for a system than the places you buy games from do. I own more PS2 games than Blockbuster, Walmart (I am as surprised as anyone) and 7 other places that sell such titles.

Yes, I am guilty of them all... is there anything you think I missed?
