I just realised I'm very compulsive when it comes to gaming

So I was doing some meditating on my gaming habits, and I realised I'm obsessed about it. I have alot of games (at least, at 14 years old I have a lot of them) but no matter how many I have, I always have my sights set on new purchases. I'll show you my wishlist. I only have a 360 and PS2 at this point.

I have a 60 game wishlist, and all the while, I still have a backlog of six games on PS2 I still have to complete. I'm currently working on Manhunt. Which brings me to another point; my extreme compulsiveness when it comes to gaming. I'm a very laid-back person, I don't worry about anything. Except for stuff involving gaming. Many gamers have a backlog of games they haven't finished, simply because they don't feel like it. I don't feel like playing Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams either, because frankly, I just don't think it's all that great of a game. However, as long as that game goes unfinished, I will feel uneasy about it. When I play a game simply because I feel like it, I always have a thought in the back of my brain telling me: "What are you doing? You should finish Dawn of Dreams!" It's not that I actually listen to the voice, but eventually, it'll lead me to finish Dawn of Dreams, despite the fact that the 7 levels I still have left won't be an enjoyable experience.

However, my compulsiveness isn't just limited to which games I have yet to complete. For example: I'm not a very tidy person, but my room, where my 360, PS2 and SDTV sit is extremely tidy simply because my gaming stuff is there. My games are neatly lined up in shelf under my TV, cables are dustfree and neatly taped or pinned to walls. If one were to look at my room, that person would say I'm extremely tidy and clean. He'd also notice I have a ton of games and material involving gaming, although I'd never buy gaming action figures or stupid collector's items, that's too much for me.

That brings me to my final point: money. I only spend money on two thing: gaming and going out with friends or my girlfriend (who, thankfully, doesn't think that being obsessed with games is a bad quality, she even played Fifa with me once). I receive money for stuff like clothes from my parents, so that kind of trivial stuff isn't an issue. Still, even I stand amazed sometimes when one of my friends buys Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour with all their instruments in one go. Then again, his parents have money like water.

So, how about you? Are you obsessed with games like me? Do you spend alot of money on it. Since this is a gaming wiki site, I'd expect plenty of people here like me, so share your experiences when it comes to gaming geekness.
