Collectables? Fancy word for junk! Piles of worthless junk! Why must it torment me?

Ahem. I was cleaning out my room today only to find I have way too much junk, 99.9% of it gaming-related junk. I have every game magazine I have ever bought, dating back to the 80s. Why? I never read them, and they are just taking up space in boxes weighing well over 50 lbs. What a waste.

I have a million comic books. Why? Again, I don't read them. I have most of the first 50 Sonic ones, I have the books for Mario and Zelda which are made up of the comics that ran in Nintendo Power in the early 90s. I have some Nintendo ones that are ancient, like Captain N issue 3. Taking up space...

You know those old inserts that come with Nintendo games telling you to ubscribe to Nintendo Power? I have ones that came with games that are nearly a decade old, and I even have one from the NES days. Pure worthless junk. Have some for Sega too. Buy two Saturn games, get some money back. Panzer Dragoon Saga, $49!! Ha! Not these days.

I have strategy guides for games I'll probably never play again, dating back to SMB3. Why, why, why?

I have action figures and toys from Zelda, Sonic, Mario, Monkey Ball, Mario Kart, Pokemon, and a million other games. I don't play with toys. Junk. I have plushes like Sonic and Tails from their Genesis days, some Mario and Yoshi ones, the whole damn Sonic Adventure set, and of course, Samba de Amigo. Plushes take up a ton of space. Then we got beanies, every way Nintendo released, along with their talking counterparts, and some posable. Pokemon had a million beanies too, I have quite a few. More junk.

I have every bobblehead Nintendo has released, as well as Lara Craft. I have the Super Mario Sunshine capsule toy complete collection, from Japan. Ok, sweet decorations, but that's all they do! Take up space!

I got t-shirts I never wear. Yoshi's Story, Resident Evil, Super Monkey Ball, Mario Kart Double Dash, and some others. More stuff taking up space.

It's all junk I tell ya! While some people may try to convince you that it's somehow cool having old game magazines and stuff, it's not. It's a huge waste of space! Why the hell would anyone hang on to all this crap? Such a waste of time trying to sort through it all now. Wow, the cardboard back to the action figure that came with Ocarina of Time! Garabage! *sigh* But hey, I could've been worse. At one point I had all my SNES, N64, and Game Boy boxes. What a big waste that was.

Now the moral of the story is, trash this stuff when you get it, it's junk, and it'll save you the trouble later on.
