    Just to clarify: I'm not the guy that sent her this stuff. I just thought that would be a funny title.

    That is one very impressive collection to give away, and by the looks of it in immaculate condition.

    is it me or she doesn't seem very happy about it? I would be jumping all in excitement if I've got all of that stuff!

    I never heard of that girl but she got some good stuff. Fighting sticks to enjoy a capcom fighting game? 2 3D analog sticks? She is very lucky. It don't say anything about her freind zoning the guy that sent the stuff but it don't soun like she is gonna date him or send him nudes. She might not be that kind of girl anyway.

    Maybe the shock of having all that stuff? I dunno XD Though that really is an awesome batch of stuff!
    Also on the forum index the title's kind of amusing, as it says "I sent a girl $1,..." :v:

    Two very equivalent things. Another quality post.

    So will she even have time to actually play those games next to work? Panzer Dragoon Saga alone takes over a week to complete when being played 8 hours a day, this I know from personal experience. And there are many other longer games there, Dragon Force, Magic Knight Rayearth, etc..

    Or does she just make a living out of being a stupid bitch on Youtube, and play games all day?

    Her ignorance to her good fortune astounds me.

    "Virtua On Cyber Troopers, seems fitting to have a space game on Saturn"

    "Some sort of expansion" in response to Saturn Bomberman plus multitap.

    Seriously, who the fuck does this? Who gives away this much for free when (A) it's awesome Saturn stuff or (B) you could make a shit-tonne of money out of it? Arsehole.

    Does she just so happen to live next door to where Giant Bomb is and get a package that was meant for them or something?

    I see people saying this is "$1000+" worth of stuff

    that's technically true, in that it's also "$1+" worth of stuff. That shit is worth well, well over $1000. You're looking at a $5000-$6000 collection.

    I... beat PDS in 1 sitting.

    It took me all day, though. What a glorious day that was, too.

    EDIT: P.S. I have every game she has, in mint condition, plus quite a few rarer titles, like Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru. I messaged that girl asking if she'd be down with trying to play some saturn bomberman online with me, and she said she'd start looking for a netlink adapter. LOL I'm epussing this girl so hard and that dude is going to be pissed.

    You miss out a TON of stuff in PDS if you grind it down in a day. If you go for 100% completion, it takes at least a week with 8 hours a day average.

    No, I didn't. I got the light and solo wings, I found the evidence that our friend had died, I went back and opened all the chests that I wasn't strong enough to open before. I completed the game 100%, I've beaten it several times since and there was nothing else for me to do. PDS does not have 56 hours worth of content, at most it's 15-16. I also never died during my playthrough, not once.

    I looked at that dude's channel. Not much to it, but he seems like he might be some kind of architect/property planner, and his location is listed as Australia. There's not much to go on as to why he might decide to do this.

    If he doesn't at least get head for this, he's essentially been duped by her pretty face and her in-and-out-bits being all inny-and-outy.

    I honestly have serious doubts that any kind of sex would be worth giving away all that stuff!

    Anyone who thinks this would work to secure a girlfriend or even hook-up is severely disconnected from reality. Course, so is anyone who would put out in response to the present, so whatever. Chumps all round.

    I couldn't sit through the entire video so this post is made with an assumptions in mind.

    If this guy sent all this shit to this chick as a way to worm into her heart, he is the the most offensive kind of idiot. I don't care for 95% of the Sega Saturn library and I'm not into collecting games, so I don't care that she got all this stuff for free. But the idea that buying girls nice things and doing nice things for them means they're supposed to be affectionate in return is a notion that is supposed to die with your elementary/primary school idealism.

    I hope he actually just bought this stuff and sent it to her as a fan of hers. Then I can just imagine that he's a member of the same Millionaire's Club that Andrew75 is a part of :v:

    This guy is deluded. You can't buy love. This reminds me of that video of the guy playing Team Fortress who begs a random girl who was playing the game to go out with him saying he'd gift her "Any game on Steam". I saw it a long time ago. Via NeoGAF I think. Same failed logic. Perhaps the girl is into videogames. Perhaps she's into the Sega Saturn. Who knows. Regardless this is not the way to entice a girl to go out with you. He must be young. Must be. I had the same thoughts and ideas when I was something like 15. Maybe 16. Desperate attempts to execute grand gestures thinking it is the path to a woman's heart. It is not. I found that once you get to your early 20s you realise that all you really have to do is say "Look. You want to have a drink with me sometime?" and depending on the response whether positive or negative you know whether she's interested.

    I know it sounds obvious and basic but it honestly appears that no-one has told him this. A girl decides very quickly whether she likes you or not. Whether she would consider you as a romantic interest. Sending her Burning Rangers or whatever in what would have been a ridiculous parcel is not going to trigger the woman into suddenly wanting you. The gesture would either have zero or a negative effect. A more logical plan would have been to sell all of this on Ebay for say $5000 and then use that money to just hit bars and clubs with your circle of friends and find a girl that way. Who knows. Perhaps he's obsessed with this one girl and has failed in previous attempts. The point is gifts are not going to change that. Shaking my head on this one.

    You people do realise the topic title is a joke, right?
