Xhozni, don't you know that with great power comes great responsibility?

Oh no! Fortunately they are really cheap these days. The ridiculously over priced used vintage game store near me sells Zelda and Zelda II for around $15 a piece.

If the outside of your nonworking cartridge is in really great shape, you could always buy a cheaper grey cartridge copy of Zelda that works and surgically swap out the insides.

Here's what I have: (Links to NewEgg for more details).

Case
PSU
Motherboard
CPU
RAM x2 16GB total
HDD About three of these.
GPU (Unlocked to 6970.)
Blu-ray disc burner drive
Monitor
Speakers
Controller

Ah, man... I probably don't care but I'm definitely not clicking on all of those links to find out.

Here's a picture of my computer:

Except that it's a little smaller than that and not that color and doesn't say DELL on it anywhere. But other than that it is very similar.

 

You mean smaller as in for midgets?

Having 178 games permanently installed is nice. Around 40% or more of those are torrented. Actual computer games, not emulators such as Dolphin.

Borderlands - Game of the Year Edition, Fallout 3 GotYE, Fallout New Vegas with DLC, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with Complete mods, Metro 2033, GTA IV and Episodes from Liberty City with mods, entirety of Command & Conquer series and more games. Burnout Paradise, Need for Speed series but there are too many to list. Very nice to be able to choose from so many at very leisurely pacing.

Very glad to getting all the Dune games to work.

[Cartmen voice] My penis is so large, it is always getting in my way. Sometimes I trip on it. Oh man! I have such a massive penis, all the time I women take one look at it and say they are too afraid to sleep with me. Here, take a look at all these links to see what an incredibly huge dick I have.

It's pretty kewl. [/Cartment voice]No one gives a crap about your dumb computer.

No one really cares about your dumb computer.

That's true but now his penis intrigues me.

So you're a dick and a pirate?  I just want to be clear on who we're dealing with here.

Wow. You're really depressing me, actually.

Forget about your stupid computer for a while, and go out and make some friends, get off your ass, get some exercise. There is so much more to life than a bunch of lame computer games.

Just wait until this thread gets locked. :-/

Nice being a hypocrite especially since this is in fact a video game thread. Pot meet kettle.

Not quite the same thing. 

Yeah, I am posting in a video games thread, sometimes I even play the things, but that doesn't mean I obsess over them, or, say, get extremely orgasmic when talking about my amazing super computer with 178 games install on the hard drive. If you have enough time on your hands to feel the need to own 178 games, let alone have them all installed on your hard drive at once (finding and installing all those games must have taken a good deal of time on its own), then you might need to take some time to consider all the other great things life has to offer.

Games are a great platform for immersive storytelling, and can occasionally be a great escape from the stresses of real life. I find them a good way to turn my brain off on occasion, and they're much cheaper, safer, and healthier than alcohol. But much like with alcohol, there still needs to be some moderation involved. If someone told me they had 178 bottles of liquor stocked up in their home, I'd have to assume they have a bit of a drinking problem on their hands.

Why would someone start posting on the forum just to talk a bunch of high school smack in the Video Game thread?  And hide their profile from the public?

I smell a rat.

It just goes to show how most video games don't accurately depict real life.

Trying to argue with C3PX: NOT a good idea.

^ I like it. But it also makes me feel all dirty...
