REMEMBER: No Question Is A Stupid Question.

If you have the courage to ask for help, I will answer your question. That is my policy

I'm an eighteen year old female, and I'm going away to college this fall. The college I'm going to is a rural college with a strong athletic bent, and not many... "geeks." I, on the other hand, am quite the geek, and I'm very into video games.

I seem to be the only person listed in my dorm room... But I'll be in a block of dorms with other kids who are high academic achievers, including a few from my old school. I've heard that video games are a great way to meet likeminded people at college, and I've been thinking about which game systems to bring with me.

My Gameboy Advance, my old buddy, is going with me no matter what. It's my favorite system and I'm a huge Pokemaniac. I've already decided t take Pokemon Leaf Green, Sapphire, Ruby, Silver, and Card GBC. I'm also bringing Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3, and Zelda. But if I find Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, which one of those two should I drop to put it in my game? And I'm also taking Tetris, Tetris Attack, and Tamagotchi... but should I replace Tamagotchi with Super Mario Land or Pokemon Red/Yellow??

Also, I have a question about which system to take.

I have two major consoles--a Playstation1 and a Gamecube. I have a Sega Genesis also, but it's too fragile to move around. I can't decide whether I should take the PSX or the GCN to my dorm.

The PSX is about six years old. Games I have for it: Spyro, Crash 3, Bust a Move 2, Megaman X4, Dance Dance Revolution Konamix, and two Nascar titles. I have two dual shock controllers and two DDR pads, one of which is glitchy.

I've had the GCN for eight months, but I got it used. I only have three titles for it--Pokemon Box, Pokemon Colosseum, and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. I NEED Box to manage my Gameboy Pokemon games, but SA2 is useless for multiplayer becuase I only have one controller. (I do have a GCN-GBA link for the Pokemon games, though)

Right now, I'm planning on taking the GCN and switching if I'm unhappy. However, due to DDR and Bust a Move on my Playstation, I'm reconsidering... Which do you think I should take? Keep in mind that it's a Playstation 1, not a Playstation 2.

I would expect you to find my advice patronizing. Don't blame your anti-socialism on me. If you didn't have any friends during high school it’s because you didn't make an effort to get to know anybody. From your above message, gaming to you is no mere interest but an unnatural and unsafe obsession. If you can't see this then you should seek pyschological assistance.

Good Luck,

(Rating: 1) You didn't answer my question. Besides, did it ever occur to you that I went to a high school where I had nothing in common with anyone? I'd like to have some friends who share my interests FOR ONCE. I'm tired of being forced to not talk about anything I care about at social gatherings. I'd like to have friends who are actually halfway like me. Your advice was not helpful; it was insulting and patronizing.
