I was looking through some of my old stuff today and I found Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy Tactics trading cards, both games are my personal favorites so it's no wonder I held on to them. I also have the MGS comics omnibus by Ashley Wood, love the art. And somehow I have a Konami soccer game scarf and I don't remember how I got it.

Alright, gamers, let's hear about your dirty little capitalist games merch secrets.

    Not only do I not, but I downloaded pirated NFC tags for Amiibos and cloned them onto blank NFC tags so that I could have every single possible daily bonus in Breath of the Wild without spending a cent.

    The red dead redepmtion 1 wall map that I stole out of my uncle's disc case when I "borrowed" the game for like a year when I was 12 lol. Other than that I don't think I have anything physical - I've always pirated everything else shrug-outta-hecks

    I was a kid when I went to a 7-11 and picked up Mario Kart plushies.

    I had a Mario Kart landline phone too.

    Other than that, I haven't had too much else over the years outside of preorder bonus stuff.

    Resident Evil 2 action figures, that I still have somewhere, were probably the last things that I purchased.

    When I bought my copy of Resident Evil 2, it came with a graphic T-shirt. Sadly, it is no longer with us anymore.

    I remember having a Playstation watch that had the "You R Not E" tag line. The "E" was red. The tagline was, "You are not ready."

    Does my subscription to Nintendo Power count? I still have a stack of dog eared Nintendo Power magazines somewhere.

        I have the Tyrant figure, Leon, and a zombie that falls to pieces.

        For some reason I think I had a Licker figure, but I don't trust that memory.

    There's a full Link costume scattered around this apartment, including a very cheesy 440 stainless steel Master Sword. The edge isn't sharpened, but it is pointy as fuck.

    I once considered getting some omori-neutral merch once but I never did

    Though come to think of it, I got a cool poster from buying Civ 4 like 16 years ago

    I have a printed zapdos key cap for my keyboard in honor of Bird Jesus. But that's about it.
