Good-bye to gaming...for now. A long saga comes to a sad close.

[Spike Spiegel]

I usually play a lot of GBA games and some PS2 games(but mostly GBA).

To make a long story short, I ended up losing both my Indigo-colored Game Boy Avance and my platinum SP because my mother was hell-bent on me not playing video games....

She made me "donate" the consoles to some eight year old I have never met who is the nephew of this guy who goes to my church.

I also had to give up all of my games (I did, however, manage to save TMNT 2k3 and TMNT 2 Battle Nexus, along with Metroid: Zero Mission. I had to trade Street Fighter Alpha 3 for it because my original copy of Zero was "donated").

It kind of pisses me off seeing as she bothered me about being "addicted" to gaming whenever she actually saw me playing one, which wasn't that often. And the first punishment for anything had always been to take both GBAs away.

I still have my PS2, but I use it mostly as a DVD player. Now the looming threat is to get rid of that as well and I can't get a job yet so I wouldn't be able to get another for at least the next six months.

It's been about three weeks since this occurred, but I finally had to vent it somewhere. I feel cheated. The SP was one of the last gifts that my now deceased father gave me.
