I really want like a shiny metal boxed collectors' box of the Half-Life series...


Or even just everything from Valve... Like a shiny and real version of the Valve Complete Pack from Steam.

I'm going to assume your house isn't furnished with things that look like complete shit but are very practical, right? Same reason. As people we like things that look nice... Game boxes look nice to me
