Here is a true story that happened to me, and I believe only true gamers will understand. Several years ago, I had to fly abroad unexpectedly and needed to quickly find someone to babysit my two dogs. My neighbor suggested one of his friends, and I allowed her to stay at my place for a week, even though I didn't know her. A few months later, I felt a sudden urge to play SSX3 (an amazing snowboarding game for the PlayStation 2). So, I went to my game collection and opened the game case, only to find that the game disc was missing. I proceeded to open each and every PS2 game I owned and discovered she had stolen all of them! All I had left were the cases. For some reason, she only stole the PS2 games.

I still own all those empty PS2 game sleeves, and they are still part of my game collection. Despite several pleas from my wife to "at least get rid of the empty ones," I cannot bring myself to throw them away—too many fond memories.

You fellow gamers understand where I'm coming from, right?
