Pretty sure I'm a fan of the first 3 games. I grew up with them on PSX.

I haven't liked Tekken since Tekken 3.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6

Looks like some sort of Halo Spartan armor....

Actually I used to work at the location in the town that I currently live in, I don't have any issues with the customers, since all the ones I mingle with are 20's+.
Not everyone's experience is going to be even close to what you've said.

In collector's edtions, I usually purchase those if they come with a statue. Last big one I bought was for Halo Reach.

I tend to try and pre-order as soon as I hear about a limited/collector's edition or even the standard copy as soon as the pre-orders open.

I did about 3 years ago, It has become a habit for preordering.

I partake in them mainly, because I'd rather pick up the game ASAP, so I don't have to worry about it later in the day/week. Also most of my friends go as well.

Nice! I still have both of those too.. However my Mirror's Edge messenger bag, the zipper broke off.

What?!

I like to pre-order them for the following reasons at GameStop.
1. I like to have all available pre-order content.

Seriously what happened to pre-order bonuses with physical content.. ?! I'd rather have that than some 'exclusive in game content' that should already be in the game for everyone to experience.

Of the two, I preferred the Game Gear over Game Boy. I had both.

I'm more of a PC/Console gamer. Wasn't really into handhelds, even now as an adult.

Never felt that I missed out, I've played around with games on those systems as an adult. To this day I still don't care for handhelds, I'd rather play games on PC or a console.

Nope, I did however enjoy The Minish Cap and Metal Slug years later for GBA.

I'm 29, and as a kid I never really found the original Game Boy interesting, wasn't till the Nintendo DS came out where I liked handhelds. Then again, I was never really into handhelds in the first place, my choice was Game Gear back then.

Kotaku was a very different place back then.

I believe I was threatened to be sent to the cornfield. That was pretty terrifying.
