Well thank you!
That said, that is just a *very* small representation of my games collection. Also, picked up even MORE games today on my way to meeting some people for a design project. Had a couple "Power Up Rewards" coupons to use at Gamestop; walked out with all three of these for about $7 total.
... sorry for clogging the thread.

Cool...
Just curious & I hope I do not offend you in any way... I sincerely apologize if I do. I'm wondering how "the heck" do you manage to find so much time to play with the "tons" of games that you have?
Is gaming the whole day everyday all you do?
Cool...
Not offended at all.
It's an understandable question.The truth? I honestly don't get to very many of them. I've been playing video games since my parents bought me Pokemon Red Version and a GameBoy Pocket many eons ago, and I fell in love. Been gaming ever since. In elementary school and middle school, I basically played games all day, everyday. Once I got to 9th grade, and started working a fast food job and on the high school paper, my time began to dwindle. Still could find a couple nights, though, to beat a game each week (most games, honestly, aren't much longer than a couple five-hour nights).
But now I'm a senior in college, and for the last four years my backlog has grown and grown. I have three jobs, a girlfriend, and regular school work/ extra curricular stuff. So no, gaming definitely isn't what I do all day.
With ~15 years of gaming under my belt, I can usually determine exactly how much a game is worth to me the day it comes out. And then I forget about it until I find it for less than that price. Some games are new releases, and some are from eight or nine years ago. And a couple nights out of the week, when I finish my work around 11pm, I will pop in a game for a few hours and forgo sleep. Like today... I spent about $7 on those last three games. Hell, that's cheaper than a movie ticket... a beer... a hamburger. I'll get my moneys worth. Maybe not this week or this month... but I'll get to them sooner or later, and it's doubtful I'll find them cheaper.
^^^ That's the long answer. The short answer: I try to save as much money as I possibly can with each game. But much like alcohol or drugs or cars or gambling or sports might be the vice for some people, games are mine. And so I try to find time for them as often as I can; but they often have to take a backseat and wait for me to find some free time.
Slight splurge:

Having tried the Playbook, iPad 2 and Xoom at Best Buy a few days ago I bought a Motorola Xoom today. I found that I liked Honeycomb more than I liked the iPad. Plus, I think it looks better as well. I think this might be the first Android tablet people buy because it's good, not just because it's not an iPad.

^^I thought about going to Full Sail after HS years and years ago. So glad I didn't. After being in a band in college, and experiencing the Hollywood music business scene, I decided it was much too foul.
However, best of luck to you and your endeavor.

Full Sail forced me to buy all this stuff + 3 year AppleCare. Since I don't need any of/already have it I immediately put it all for sale on eBay/Craigslist to replay the financial aid I was forced to use to obtain them. Don't need 2 of each!
I'm confused why were you forced? If you gear meets the requirements needed why did you have to purchase new?
You can't enroll unless you agree to purchase the package. I guess it is to avoid complications in the long-run.
Dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life.... You should be able to opt out by having their tech. dept. inspect your machine and software and make sure it meets their standards and you have what you need.
Guess full sail is padding apples pockets.
