Naughty Dogs game??

Ha, but alas, I am still a kid, still in high school, barely. But I am a manager at an office max and make pretty good money. I have nothing to spend my money on besides lunch at school, clothing, and videogames. What else is there? I have no time for a girlfriend, they cost too much and would take away from any time I would rather spend with my friends, etc.

Yes, I see the sun, unfortunately it is winter, and it is normally around 0 - 10 degrees out. Nothing else to do, might as well thrown on a couple blankets and play games. in the spring/fall/summer I am outside every day playing golf for my high school team, or football (used to, got a bad concussion, football isnt for me anymore!) etc.

No, I dont have 50+ games for DC. There arent 50+ game worth owning for DC. Maybe 35 really good ones right now. I have had about 25 DC games, but I am down to only 12 now, as I have had to sell/trade some as the perfect import or classic Saturn game comes along. Shipping systems (my doubles) is a very expensive thing too. I ship to all over (Brazil, Japan, AUS, USA, etc.)

So, yes, I have to sacrifice my money, which would go for useless thigs anyways and I buy every system that comes out, I own most of the systems released in America, and have played them all with in the last two weeks. But I have NEVER gotten a system at launch, well US launch anyway. I think that is dumb to do, you gotta wait until their are pleny of games you like.

I have already got a career plan ahead of me (hope it works out). I am going to major in Political Science and one day become a Senator, mayor, Congressman, etc. I want to serve my country and would die for the freedom I enjoy daily. Next war that comes up, you will see me on the front lines. And, if nothing gets out to my opponenets, it can fulfill my gaming needs in my off time. I dont think this is a hobby I will be growing out of. In college, if PS doesnt work out, I  would love to go into game development, Iknow C++ extensively and love to learn more. This would also fulfill my gaming needs. I dont want a big house or fancy clothing or nice cars, I just wanna have fun. My wife better be a gamer, or at least tolerate my hobby  :) After all, its better than hunting.

Enjoy it while it lasts.  College is a whole new ballgame.

Actually, It looks to be much of the same. Although in college I will have other priorities (job, wife, etc.) I am most likely going to get full ride.

I am class prez. of my school. Also, my ACT/SAT scores along with some extra curricular work I have done is getting me into college with a near free ride. So after I go on my mission, I will go to college for 5 - 7 years (depends on the major) and should be more of the same. Videogames will still play a major part, I just wont be able to have all of them at my dorm (or where ever I live)

Looks can be decieving.  Pack yourself with 6 or so classes, hours of homework all the time, hectic schedules, huge papers and then try and dump videogames in all that, you\'re gonna have one hell of a time.  Sure, you may claim to have a free ride but that is all on costs, in no way is college anywhere NEAR as easy as HS.  HS is such a joke, but you\'ll understand after a year of college toughens your ass up.  What things "seem" like and how they really are are very different.  You think HS prepares you for college at all?  You have no idea, but we all come to learn the easy way, or the hard way.

I would only go to the classes which require attendance :)

Believe it or not, but I am a person of high intelligence, I haven\'t learned much since elementary school. This would exclude abilitites, computers, general history. Everything else was taught to me by my 9 brothers and sisters, all of which are older than me. Only going to the classes with required attendance would help me out alot. I would go on exam days and take the exams and get credit for the courses. I, of course, know that it can\'t be like that for all classes, or may not be like that for any classes, I realize what is up ahead and I will find time for my hobby. There are always weekends too. I havent ever been known to study, so those can be my days. :)

If you say so.  Talk to me after you have had some experience with it though.  Just don\'t go cying to us when things get hard and your systems start to gather dust ;)
