Jonsey, if Asperger's Syndrome is supposed to include being fixated on one esoteric subject, I think that the cretinous reprobates of this site have picked the wrong one to nominate for Aspie of The Week(TM)!

You got all that in your basement, this seems to indicate a real, almost - and there's a word here for a real hard-on fetish that I can't think of right now - sociopathic intense fascination with video games. I'm not saying that in a bad way, I'm just using "sociopathic" here as a placeholder for an intense fascination to the exclusion of everything else.

I'm just exaggerating a little here, I mean, you've got this stuff set up in your basement with near military precision, as carefully done as a shopkeeper showing his finest wares or a museum curator displaying his star exhibit. I wish my room looked that nice. (It's a hell of a lot cleaner since I hired an assistant to help keep it that way.)

I'm not trying to say there's anything wrong, I'm just sort of "damning with faint praise" someone's serious collection of material done with love and care.


It's not really a basement; I live in a bi-level (split level?) house. It's just easier to say that than say "the lower half of the bi-level house in which I live." Actually, I wish there were a word for the lower floor in such a house. I would Tycho the shit out of that word.

However, it is not all perfect. I have the stupid barbell I use to trick myself into thinking I have exercised left out. Half of it is underneath the pin, and one of the weights was used to lift up the Robotron game so I could make the leg levelers level.
