Sad and pathetic. One day you'll realize how stupid and pointless wasting all of that money was. [/quote]
I wouldn't be so harsh. If that sort of stuff is what he really likes, then good for him. Just because you don't share the same thoughts with someone doesn't mean you shouldn't try and understand them.[/quote]
Can't be bothered. [/quote]Everyone has things that they want, once they have it, it becomes their treasure. I am pretty sure that there is something that you have that many will disagree with. Ego.[/quote]
No, because I don't have an obsession with something so pointless.
You also have to realize what forums your posting in. The Bungie forums, you know, full of Bungie nuts and fans. Of course they will take their hobby and obsession of all things Bungie to the extreme. It may be pointless, as these items may not hold any value in the future.
This forum is for those people, only the most dedicated Bungieholics visit these forums every day. It's more then just having the collectibles, it's like buying nostalgia and memories. For instance when a fan buys a Halo item, he or she get's an high of emotions and memories for that series. "Value" is in the eyes of the beholder.
For instance "remember that time I launched you in that Warthog with a grenade and it landed on those grunts!!!" or "dude, playing split screen coop and multiplayer on Halo: Combat Evolved on Christmas Day 2001 was so amazing"
The key is, we need not worship these collectibles, just admire them while there. They could be gone any second, but we will always have the memories. Also, to try never over spend, only buy these things when the budget permits, money is just here today and gone the next. Anyways, I'm not saying you have to be like this, you have freewill. Just don't insult Bungie fans, on Bungie forums.
BTW, some fan took their obsession to an extreme high resently. A Bungie Bag Of Swag was listed on Ebay for $400, and it sold at that price!!!! WOW!!
