I've decided to have a game clear out before Sacred 2 and Star Ocean land. Games I've had for a while and I know despite thinking I'll come back to, I really won't.

GTA IV, Burnout: Paradise, Alone in the Dark, Banjo Kazooie and really really tempted to get rid of Resi Evil 5 too.

Anyone else like me and likes to have a minimal amount of games or you all hoarders?

Hoarder Although I am trying to cut back a lot and have fewer games than I used to.

Don't get me wrong I've dreamed about a gaming room with a copy of every single 360 game (for starters) all lined up... I'm just a minimalist at heart.

I tend to end up thinking about the money and selling some off for the sake of buying new games I'd love to just hoard all the time but I just can't.
Think I've got about 25 games at the moment which is a lot but most of them would only sell for a couple of quid these days (Crackdown, PES6, that sort of thing). This time last year I had around 50

I have a few but they are mainly games I'd play again and again or ones that I got really cheap so just keep them.

I'm a hoarder, definitely. I generally dislike getting rid of games but money is the issue generally. I think I'm on about 30 games currently but most of them are either ones I refuse to get rid of (Mass Effect, Bioshock, stuff like that) as well as games that really won't be worth too much. If I had my way I'd never get rid of any of them

Bioshock is definitely one I will never get rid of, such a great game. Same with Fable 2 LE. I looked forward to it for far too long to just get rid of it.

I'm such a hoarder. I don't sell games. I just tend to give them away to people who would appreciate them or, when totally skint, rip myself off by trading loads in for nothing towards a new one.

I'm a hoarder too, think i've got around 30-35 games at the moment, and it's soon to go up as well =/

Also, I haven't been playing much recently (nor been on here actually). This is due to having 1 (yes 1) day off so far this month. The main ops guy at work is off so i've been covering him Tues/Weds, coupled with my normal Mon/Fri/Sat this totals the average persons week. Throw in helping my gf's business which i've been doing the last two years, and that takes up my only 2 days off, and when I do get Fridays off, it's more work for me. I'm so close to just booking a week off and going somewhere to get my mind at rest, i'm absolutley shattered, stressed and p*ssed off. So much so I even took some of it out on the missus, which was completely undeserved by her.

So yea, appologies for not being around, i'll get back soon, I hope.

Oh, and fyi, this month, a normal person will work 9-5 21 times, doing 8 hours of work per day (inc lunch). This equals 168 hours, i've already done 141 hours. Hopefully, you can see why i'm stressed
