Reply #15 - 14.02.05 at 17:33:56 yeap, thats the few things that many people forget to look at a buyer's point of view we always just look at the seller's point of view sometimes. 7 computers. wow, now definately u can't defend that. its time to offload about 50% of it to make some space for your family I think.

Well there is a nice lesson to be learned here. The wife is most of the time in charge at home. I will wait till I am 30+ before I even think of getting maried. If I would even think of getting married with a girl, I am sure to let here know that I have some other hobbies Wink

Well probably my future wife would have hobbies of her own too.

No- The lesson is to make a deal that both sides can keep. Relationships are give and take and based on trust, breaking that trust isn't a good thing even for a hobby.

It implies to the other partner something else maybe more important then the relationship.

My daughter got me in trouble the other day. She said "Dad do you know how many computers you have here in the kitchen/family room?

I guess stupid and young brainless people like me can't understand it, but why on earth should I share my life with somebody else if it will always always always end up with things like gamma742 says, where there's a (big) problem?

Undecided

I mean, I can see why they always tell me life is much more complicated than "you and your tons of videogames you love so much".

Cry

Anyway, if getting rid of some of your beloved collection can help putting things back on the right way, then don't hesitate (if you can make some money with that, even better).

Talking about Gauntlet Legends (which is such a bad game), it's also been released on the N64 (my favourite console). Here are some screens of the N64 version (http://www.gamepro.com/screen_gallery.cfm?product_id=1081&genustext=N64&family=). Does it look worse than the arcade version?

Yeah Gary's right. In my case, It's just a misunderstanding. I still maintain that a "Brick" is one Voodoo2 Video Card. My wife still thinks that it is four cards and I'm trying to pull a fast one. She's a pretty good gal

I got married sort of young (20) and if you haven't checked my profile I'm an old dude now. She's been my wife for 27 years and I'm not going to let a Mercury System come between us.

I thinking about listing it next Thursday as a 10 day auction ending Sunday afternoon Pacific Time I'm GMT -08:00 Offered Worldwide of couse.

It's slightly heavier that a standard PC. I never shipped anything larger than a Voodoo card. Anyone have any ideas on the shipping costs? I know there will be questions. I better start looking for a suitable box and packing material. Ehh, I'm not feeling so good now. It's starting to sink in Cry

No, just the "home" version. I mean the difference between arcade and home versions can't be like the difference between Ultimate Doom and Doom III... yes?

im going home to Malaysia. Graduated and I can't get an H-1 working visa here.
So chances are really slim for me to stay back and start a career.
therefore, mindset --> home and start a new life again

i'm gonna miss ebaying here alot.
and also the quality of life here.
Nevertheless 4 years here has given me an experience of a lifetime.
living with people, coping with attitudes, study problems, love life crisis (facing now), LOL.. and most importantly meeting people around the world! Roll Eyes
