Are you aware of this strange breed? Perhaps you are even one of them.
The GAMES COLLECTOR: a person who buys game after game and yet hardly ever plays them.
I mention this because I suspect my cousin is one.
In his room is a N64, a PSone and a PS2, and his TV cabanet is crammed with games - all pristine.
There's 16 N64 titles, over 30 PSone games, and about 7 top PS2 games.
But the strange thing is: I've never seen him play any of them!
Yeah he talks about gaming all the time, but when you ask him about certain games - he either says: "Oh I haven't played it yet", or "I'm only on the first level".
He recently bought Grand Theft Auto 3, so being an avid gamer I asked him yesterday what it was like.
And you know what he said? He said: "I've only had a quick blast."
Now he purchased this game over 10 days ago, and seeing that it is supposedly one of the best and most addictive games currently available on the PS2, I found his apathy towards the game totally astounding!
So have I identified a strange breed within gaming, or is it just my cousin who's weird?

I once knew a man from nantucket...no thats the wrong person. Anywho, I recently bought a Dreamcast of a bloke who seemed a bit weird to me. In front of his TV he had just about every console released in the UK, Master System, Mega Drive, NES, SNES, Saturn, N64, Playstation, Dreamcast and PS2 all with between 10 and 30 games on each console. Either he was a theif fixated with stealing only consoles, doubtful as he was short and fat and probably couldn't get away from the law with ease, or he was the most sad 30-ish year old bloke I had ever seen.
