Wow! It is times like these these that I am glad that I am poor and cannot afford that many games. That being said, my freshman and sophomore years at uni were spent playing Super Smash Brothers, Perfect Dark, DOA2, and Armored Core 2 until the wee hours of the morning.
I was at a small, hoighty-toighty liberal arts school in southern Cali, where they insisted that everyone live on-campus. Most of the dorms were rather small, lit with flourecent bulbs, had barely painted cinder block walls, and ugly tile floors. However, a couple of friends of mine got the bet room on campus -- it was huge, had hardwood floors, 50 year old light fixtures, a fireplace, and it was huge.
In this room, they set up a ginourmus television, and attached an Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, PSX, PS2 (when they came out), Dreamcast, Genesis, and a 3do (I have no idea where this came from). Yeah, yeah, most folk here are not console games, so phbt! We would sometimes have as many as 20-25 people down there playing Goldeneye, with the winner keeping the console, and everyone else cycling in as they saw fit. At other times, we would spread out along the hall, grabbing whatever PCs we could (it was a short hall, and everyone there was part of our little group) and play StarCrack or RainbowSix.
At any rate, start gaming at around 8 or 9 Friday night, and play straight on through to Sunday afternoon, when everyone realizes that they are sleep deprived and need to write 40 page papers for Monday. Good times.
