Giving away a bunch of stuff due to move

Hi there, big time lurker here (hey fuck you, lurkers are people too). I'm moving across the U.S. in a few days and I want to get rid of a bunch of games and accessories before I go. Space is a premium where I'm going, and I already have too many god damn games.
I considered ebay, but in the end I decided that it's too much trouble and I'd much rather give the games to someone who would enjoy them. Besides, I've been coming here since 2000 or so and I really wouldn't mind giving a little back to the community I've grown to love.
I decided to post this in SE++ instead of G&T because, I've grown to feel more at home at SE++ over the years. And I secretly want to take my dog on a doggy date with Monty and hang out with Stale at one of his crazy parties. Also, your draw-a-horse kicked all other forums' horses' asses.
So, inspired by Rolo's recent porn stash giveaway, I'm giving away all of the items below for free to one lucky forumer. It's gotta be one person, because I'm too fucking lazy to ship to multiple people. Don't even bother trying to send me money, because we're moving and it'll go to some confused stranger. You can do whatever the hell you want with the games - Keep them all if you want, keep some and sell some, throw them all in a bonfire, I don't care. Or if you really feel awesome, you can keep what you want, sell the rest, and donate some of the earnings to Child's Play once it rolls around.
Anyway, if you want the games, post in this thread about why you think you should get them. But keep them short because I'm too lazy and too busy packing to read epic novels, with the possible exception of Cass erotica. You can make up stories or whatever, but please don't make up tearjerker stories about your four poor nephews who would love to have the GC bongo drums and still be able to eat dinner. I'll hate you forever. If you make me laugh, that'll probably help your chances. Of course, I might just randomly choose a person or just give it to someone I like based on their forum personality. No guarantees I'll be even remotely fair or read whatever you post.
I'm gonna be in Chicago for Lollapalooza until Monday, so I'll be checking the thread intermittently and probably will mail the box on Monday or Tuesday. Oh, one last thing - I'm only shipping to the continental U.S. Sorry, non-Americans! Still love you guys, but that's what you get for not having to deal with Dubya.
Here is the list of items. I'm a bit of a neat freak, so every game not marked "bought used" below are ones that I purchased myself and took care of in my smoke-free home. They are complete with box and manual, have never been exposed to direct sunlight, and the disks and manuals have never been left lying outside the box or console.

but I'm all the way over here though
on second thought, I think it's better if one of them americanos got it instead
Ape Escape 2 PS2 (bought used, no manual)
Twisted Metal: Black PS2 (for Shoe)
because
I'm interested, but I'm not really going to do anything all that witty.
I will pick it up at PAX
Also, why the hell is Broken Social Scene playing opposite Battles? And why Wilco opposite Rage? Arrrrrrgh the dilemma!
you can't donate used stuff to Child's Play. You can sell it and give the proceeds, though.
mister guy if I was still in america I would be all over this
okay
I'll take everything because I live in Seattle and I want some stuff and will give the other stuff out for you
But man, this is a really good thing you're doing.
Koshian, if I win, you can have the Okami.
EDIT: There is no okami
I'd take it but I have 0 rep on ebay so it'd probably be a hard sell.
I say give it to someone with a high ranking so they can sell it and donate the money.
there's no Okami on that list
in fact I'd probably keep one or two of them and donate the rest
hell I'd probably ship them all away to other forumers
Play Fanduel. One Day Fantasy Leagues use my referral
Be my friend on Magic Online! Dogbone19 is me.
You should give them to someone who will do a child's play raffle or something like that. Someone well-known, who will take the threat of banning seriously if they were to renege, and who would organize a thing where people buy tickets that profit child's play, and the tickets are for a drawing to see who gets stuff
well i guess the giving it to person who will sell it and donate works almost as well and is a lot less trouble
i hope whoever gets it does that
Ask anybody!
Fucking botp.

In short give it to me.
Satans..... hints.....
He's the coolest guy on here, and no good shit ever happens to him
This is good shit
It should happen to him
you don't coun't, you're an aussie
'merica only
man either way's good why's it gotta be a thing
cooler and cooler everyday, CD.
Time Crisis 3 - found it super cheap, almost at the same time sold my old TV and got an LCD HDTV, which Guncon2 doesn't work on
RE4 - bought the Wii version before I got a chance to play
DMC3 - got the special edition through other source
But yeah, you have a good point. Over the years, money has become much easier to come by than free time. I still have a bunch more, but I'm hoping to play them or give them to people I know eventually. These days I spend most of my time with the wife, pets, working out, or playing tennis, so it's hard to play games. Makes me feel old sometimes.
says the madman
Fuck. Yes.
Chico I give away free hugs and loving. Would you like free hugs and loving?
What if your hugs and lovings are filled with poop?
No deal.
Wait... whose poop is it?
Hmm, I like how people are vouching for others too.
Nice avatar btw, will be seeing them in just a few days!
