Message: [QUOTE="Clippy, post: 23792, member: 8560"] As a poor schmuck who never had a legitimate copy of a video game as a kid I never had that kind of epiphany really. The titles I bought as an adult are well taken care of or so I like to think at least. Hardware is a different story, though. I've read and heard many stories of people getting frustrated with video games to the point of throwing their controllers/joysticks against the wall. I never did that not because I was some Zen master at the hearty age of 4 but because I knew that I wouldn't get another joystick if I frivolously broke the one I had and I'd have nothing to play my Amiga games with. That mindset transitioned to pretty much everything I've ever owned. Take care of what you have, try to fix it when it breaks, live with the damage if you can't fix it but it's still bearable. I have been violent with people who didn't respect my stuff and I will never apologize for that. [/QUOTE]
