Can anyone relate to this?

Coin &amp; bullion dealer, essentially.<br>But what kills me is I'm also a collector,<br>so I keep trying to hold onto things I could be making profits on.<br>LOL

Great thread &amp; insight on this gaming thing Greg. The last system I had was the first Playstation but before that, Sega Genisis was my big addiction ingaming. It's been awhile but I've always loved Sonic the Hedgehog. I played that game over &amp; over until I finally mastered it after about 4 monthsafter getting it. I will still fire it up every now &amp; then &amp; my 3 yr old daughters even love it, asking to play it constantly. The only real games Igot into besides Sonic where ALL the EA NHL hockey games which I loved on Sega but didn't enjoy the Playstation EA's as much. I still think theclassic Nintendo was still one of the best all time systems ever. One day, as I'm sure in time my daughters will want a new system, I'll find out whatthe new technology in gaming is offering but for now, my Sega's still getting hrs of use. <img src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" width="25" height="18" alt="image">

My son is 19 and has done this many times - young peoples "circadian rhythyms" are different than adults so they tend to stay up later.<br>Rather see them playing video games than out drunken driving or worse - let 'em play - harmless!<br><br> Kevin

I play a lot of racing games- just because, well I can do stuff that isn't possible , or is irrational in real life. Like the Burnout Series- it's likedemolition derby+street racing combined on steroids. Or taking a turn so fast in Forza 2 (a driving simulator) that my $750000 ferrari is less than an inchfrom a concrete wall.- I would not do anything I do in those games in real life. it would be incredibly stupid of me to try- especially since I can't seetrue 3-D- i.e. no depth perception (I'm blind in one eye)<br>I've tried war games like halo, call of duty, etc. , but I can't remember the button sequences.
