And right there, my precious codename collection. My greatest waste of money of all times! Not saying I regret collecting all those shiny pieces, but if I had just kept the money saved up, living the life I do, that five billions would've lasted me some fifty lifetimes. But oh well.. What's the point of having crapton of cash if you never spend any of it? Have to admit though, I've never really been a big fan of codenames as weapons. Claymore does look sexy as hell, and Heimdall does pack a damn nice punch, but they're way overrated. Having them as a collection though, that's the real use of 'em if you ask me. Collecting all those guns did cost me a fortune (And it was before that damn Cody ruined the code market like a real swine!) but it was worth every single bit of credit I spent on it. Only the top-notch codes, and only the high quality ones at that. None of those "failed prototypes" and them mass produced copies. It was the real deal, and it was hard to find, and that's what I liked about it back then - It was a challenge.
Just like anything esle though.. You work your arse off to get there, and once you're there, you just look around yourself, raise an eyebrow and ask "Yeah... So?" I still remember the day I got the last piece for my collection. That was an exciting day. Finally had my last piece of the collection, and was going to celebrate it with a nice bottle of vintage wine, and that was some damn good stuff. But a glass or two later, I was just sitting there, reclining on my chair, smoking my cigarette, and thinking why the hell did I even went through the trouble of putting all those bits together to have a unique codename collection of my own? Needless to say, couldn't really find a good enough answer for my own question, but decided to keep the guns anyways, because after all, getting them all was an adventure nonetheless.
I might sell them some day, or I might just keep them there, sitting and checking the list on my notepad, feeling rich and all. Who knows.
