But I do believe this is almost a year after my first GFaqs account, WilliamDodgeJR (also my original name here) was created. Don’t bother looking for me. If you don’t know, I’ve been banned. Details will only be given out if requested/

As soon as I recalled this, one of my very first topics came to mind. I believe I've mentioned it before.

The topic I refer to is the one that stated my end to being a gamer. Obviously, I didn't keep that promise.

But, after having a discussion with someone by PM, I had an epiphany.

I've decided to lock up all of my video games and quit gaming.

Let me just say that again, to refuel my drive and to make sure everybody noticed it.

[size=15]I'VE DECIDED TO LOCK UP ALL OF MY VIDEO GAMES AND QUIT GAMING.[/size]

Yep. Nearly 12+ years down the drain. I've realized that these... things have made me what I am. So I'm going to remove them from me.

My Dad told me to round them up and that tomorrow he would get something with a padlock/combination/key and lock them up. Any valuable games (ones that really mean something to me, games that Darion still play) will be put somewhere were nothing will happen to them/go to Darion.

Now for the lists...

[size=7]Games that I have beaten in my lifetime[/size] (or have had spoiled by my will):

Sonic the Hedgehog series (minus the GBA games)
Legend of Zelda series (minus Adventure of Link)
Super Mario series
Pokemon series (Can't really beat them, I know.)
Kingdom Hearts series
Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X-2
Grandia
Dynasty Warriors 3
Samurai Warriors
Samurai Warriors: Extreme Legends
Super Smash Brothers
Super Smash Brothers Melee (DW3 through SSBM can't really be "beaten")
Fire Emblem 7
Fire Emblem 8
Metroid Prime

[size=7]Games that will be locked up:[/size]

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Pokemon: Sapphire Version
Pokemon: Leaf Green Version
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Eternal Ring
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
Final Fantasy IV

[size=7]Games that won’t be locked up:[/size]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (My choice)
Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (My choice)
Grandia (My choice)
Final Fantasy X (My choice)
Final Fantasy 7 (Darion)
Samurai Warriors & XL (Darion)
Dynasty Warriors 3 (Darion)

Most of you might be thinking “12+ years? What do you plan to do now?” Well, I’m sure there is some stuff I don’t know about my friends. I’m sure there are some books and some new music out there waiting for me to pick them up. Most importantly, there is in fact a world outside of my house. Sure I may be killed out there. But at least I’ll know that I died while having a good time in the wide open world than while staring at a digital screen while destroying a creature with my sword/gun, right?

But don't worry. So long as that red line on the top of my sig remains in place, I'll be here.

Whoa.

Yeah, I've found that I don't spend nearly as much time playing video games as I used to. Though I'm sure the Wii is going to change that.

I think it's because I've been spending so much time both here and composing new MIDI thingies.

Wow, that's impressive, I would never be able to just freely give up gaming like that, that's just nuts.....

Well good luck with that, and IMO, you should probably sell the games that are going to be locked up but again, your choice <_<;;

And why should I trust your ability? You have very consistently been losing ground to the Germans, regardless of whether I've been on your side or not. What you're telling me is that I have a dilemma: either I can fight you and see you lose all of your SCs to Germany, or I can fight Germany and see you lose all of your SCs to Germany.

Video Games probably helped me a lot, and definitely changed my life. Before FE7, I hardly ever went online. But after less than 3 years of regular onlineage, I've developed great typing skills, new friendships, and have gained a greater appreciation for other ideas, beliefs, and the like. I've also improved my writing skills, and I'd say I much more mature than I was.

So yeah, FE7 had a drastic, albeit indirect, impact on my life.

Oh yeah, and it's awesome.

Considering that FE7 spawned the FEABL, I feel that you'll get a lot of people here to agree with that, Yosh.

And good luck with that, Will. I know I'd lack the willpower to do the same. >_>

Do not click. Do, however, click these at your leisure ('specially for stats): Gero, Terra, Tic, Nys'elni and Murphy.

Hmmm....something just came to mind. Why are you locking them up? Why not sell them, and gain some cash?

Because my Father explained this to me:

1. I can't sell them to a gaming store. They only give store credit. Whats the use with store credit if I've stopped gaming?

2. He won't allow me to sell them to my friends. Or to anyone else for that matter.

Gaming stores only give store credit? What?

I've got cold, hard cash for my games before at GameStop. Or was it EB Games? One of the two.

My Father is to much of a fool to understand that. Either that or he actually believes they are his games. Yet he doesn't even know the name of them.

Or he just doesn't want me to get money.

God I'm confused...

Normally, it wouldn't be a problem, but this is a unique case...
