I try to commemorate big accomplishments by getting a new video game or game system. My wife got me a GBA:SP for my birthday, three days before we were married in June 2004. For my last graduation in April 2005, my wife bought me a PSP.
So far, I’ve covered all the handhelds. This worries me because I really want a next-gen home console, but am running out of major accomplishments. I’ve graduated from college, started my career, gotten married, and become a father. As far as most people go, I’ve accomplished a lot and would be greedy to expect much more.
Looks like I may have to break down and buy my PS3, Wii, or XBOX 360 on my own. Happy Fathers Day to anyone else with offspring.
