Consoles/Handhelds I've Owned
A timeline of my life defined by hardware. Woah.

(1982) I acquired it in 1994 as a gift from my uncle.
(1995) I acquired it in 1996 as a birthday present from my dad. He bought it from Wal-Mart and when we opened up the box, the disc drive was full of sand. He took it back and demanded an exchange - they thought he was trying to pull a fast one on them. It took over 2 hours to finish the return and buy a legit PS1 but that my party had already when he returned. Poor guy. My dad is awesome.
(1998) I acquired it in 1998. Schoolyard Pokemon battles, yo!
(1999) I acquired it in 2000. I really enjoyed my time with this guy and his little buddy, the VMU memory card. I was so pissed when I heard about its death, I sold it to an asshole friend for his used PS2 games. Damn.
(2000) I acquired it in 2001. This ended up being my favorite system ever mainly because it was with me through those awkward/awesome high school years. My DVD collection became a make-shift video rental store in college and I actually met some good friends because of this.
(2001) I acquired both the regular GBA in 2001 and the GBA:SP in 2003. The SP version traveled with me to Japan and was the best handheld ever.
(2001) I acquired it in 2003. This system deserved better - it was really great.
(2004) I acquired it in 2005. I still have the original launch system. Durable, my DS has traveled to Mexico, South Africa, Mozambique, Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
(2005) I acquired it in 2010. Dissuaded by red ring nonsense, it took a while for me to get a hold of this system. Once I finally did, it became my go-to console until...
(2006) Acquired Christmas 2012. If only the original and subsequent SKUs had gotten to a point where I could feel comfortable slapping down my debit card earlier...
(2006) I acquired it in 2007. A system that made sense for a college apartment.
(2008) Acquired 2009. Only one game has gotten me to spend money: Game Dev Story. That game ate up two days of my life.
(2011) iPad 2. Acquired in 2014.
(2011) Acquired in 2013. Bought the XL.
(2012) Acquired in 2014.
(2013) Acquired in 2014.
