I think it's pointless to to critisize someone for their chosen life style. I'm sure you've heard the expression live and let live. Just a suggestion but maybe you should consider that. There are millions of different personalities and character traits and likes and dislikes and mentalities; etc. that make up a person and what they choose to do with their life. Just because someone enjoys or even thoroughly enjoys video games to the point they seem to run their life around it doesn't mean they don't have a life. Maybe not the life you would agree with, but it's their life to live, let them run it as they see fit because they're the only ones who will have to answer for it in the end. I used to spend countless hours as a kid playing games and yeah maybe some of that time could have been better served doing other things but I think I turned out allright. I still like video games, allthough not AS much as I used to and can't play them as much but still, I do have a job and a girlfriend and still like downloading games and playing them. Anyway not to come off preachy, I just wanted to say that much. And Dakota, if you're still interested in acquiring a NES, I'd reccomend looking on Ebay.com. You're sure to find it there. Just be carefull what version of the NES you're getting, I remember the first versions were nortorious for messing up all the time. Don't know about the other versions that came out later.

Get a life. There's no point in wasting so much damn time in downloading and trying to play every single rom. Get a job, get a girlfriend, take more classes at college, buy some modeling kits (trains, cars, anime doll figures, who cares), collect and magic the gathering cards, ride a bike, try and ride two bikes at once, read your dog( or cat, fish, parrot, ferret, or turtle) to ride a bike, learn to play guitar, learn to play drums, become a lifegaurd, start a rockband, go to clubs, goto a bar, ride a horse, become a rodeo cowbow, become a rodeo clown, learn c+, learn visual basic....

I could do this all day.
