You know, nevermind my last post - I'll just suck it up. It's kinda long, so forgive me that.
First off, a little background to my question:
Last year, on November 18th, someone broke into my house and stole a laptop, my PS2 and over 30 PS2 games. (My mom had just died 10 days earlier, so I had already packed and moved all my other systems. Not-so-coincidentally, the thieves broke in looking for my Xbox360, won from Mountain Dew, which didn't arrive until the next day - in which my car was broken into, but my 360 was already safe at my mom's house. And luckily, they ignored my memory cards. Let's just say I am glad to be out of that neighborhood.)
So, over the past year, in addition to moving, I bought a Slim PS2 and started to rebuild my collection. My top priorities (besides the top tier games) were the Dot Hack games and Beyond Good and Evil. Even though I had beaten them, I wanted them back, as I am more of a collector.
Flash forward to this summer, when I MAJORLY ticked off my "female intimate co-inhabitant." She called me at work, so I could hear the house being wrecked (I have pics...). My PS2 was thrown like a shuriken into the wall, my 360 heaved above her head and spiked onto the floor; pieces of both systems were scattered admist countless sharp thin plastic spikes that had once been my game collection.
I was able to piece together the PS2, resolder the power switch, but now it can only read mem cards; the drive doesn't even spin anymore. My multimeter shows no current coming out of the drive reader; I don't feel like trying to breathe life into the assembly, so I am calling that a loss. However, I was able to reassemble the 360 (the label seal wasn't even broken!) and, once I found the hard drive and cleaned off the soda dumped on it, powered it up - it worked fine! In fact, it has been running fine for months now. (Which made me feel bad for Wombat and all the others with 360 problems, 'cause I know mine can take a beating. I'm still glad it's a pre- Jan 1st unit, though!
)
This long-winded story leads me to the question I am now facing for the second time in under a year, and I am now posing to you:
What games do you absolutely need in your collection? If all your games disappeared tomorrow, which titles would you immediately cruise Gamestop and eBay to replace? I know Wombat turns games around for credit, but I'm sure he has a couple in the "keep" pile.
For me, I am (for the third time) buying the four Dot Hack games and Beyond Good and Evil. I guess it doesn't matter what system, just in general. Personally, if I lost, say, my PSOne games, I'd hunt down the first Parasite Eve and Final Fantasy Tactics before anything else.
Oh yeah, by the way: The letter X
', but every time you are talking about bodily functions (which happens to be quite often) you refer to it as a 'doodie'. Always seems silly next to your other explatives. Please explain why this is. Did you mom wash out your mouth with soap once so you are traumatized?
