Today I checked my bank account.

$76.42

All right! I have to pay for two games of Indoor Netball this week which is $8 each. I'll put $20 on my Pre-Order for Guitar Hero Metallica and that'll leave me with $40.42 to live on for the rest of the week.

I walk into d*ck Smith's Electronics just to browse the games and see what I COULD get if I win the lotto.

At the bottom of the shelf, a game, I've played before and have real no need for in my life, sits there. I once wanted to own this game but not after playing it.

$30! That's cheap!!

So I walk out the store with my head held high, slightly embarrassed that I have just purchased Scene It! for the 360.

It started when I was 12. I started a paper round just to get some extra cash. I delivered The Evening Post here in Wellington. It gave me about $70 a month to deliver about 17 papers a day. Quite good money I thought.

I was looking in the Trade & Exchange in the games section when I saw a Gameboy Pocket with Pokemon Red & Blue versions for $55 which was super cheap at the time. The boy who sold them to me told me he was saving up to buy a Playstation. Haha.

All right! Gameboy, Tick! Next on the list is a Nintendo 64?

I bought one for $150 from a lady moving to South Africa. It came with South Park, Star Wars and some game I'd never heard of.. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time??

Which brings me to today. I'm much too old to be playing Pokemon but, 17 Nintendo Consoles, 16 Zelda titles and 33 Pokemon games sit on my shelf, under my bed and hidden in a box in my wardrobe.

If you'd like a list then ask haha

The thing is I have this disorder where everything I start I must complete 100% If I buy something, I have to have all of them! Every game! Every console! and I just wanted the world to know my problem and if anyone else has it to know that you're not alone.  :)
