.... no, not spouse.
Arcade games.
I've been thinking lately about the fact that when I see folks on here post up pictures of their games or something they scored over the weekend... I feel like, "Ahhh...I want that Galaga SO bad." Basic jealousy. Not in a mean way, where I think badly of the game's owner or something, it's more just me and my desires.
And it's crazy because I rarely feel like, "Wow, it's pretty neat that I have all these games myself... some of which I know some collectors would love to have in their possession. But it seems once I have a game, good, there it is... I kinda put it behind me, like checked off the list. It's not that I don't appreciate them... but I seem to focus more on what I don't have yet than what I've already scored.
It's the addiction to these beasts that feeds it... and it's not like I don't get super-excited picking up a new game, it's that once it's in the row & getting played with the rest of them, it's just the norm to have it.
I'm sure I'll get a Galaga...DK... DK Jr...even less-popular/grail-ish stuff like Kangaroo, Popeye, Playchoice... but in the meantime, it seems like I always want what others have, with maybe (at times) not giving enough props to my own stash.
Anyone else get like this?
