Topic: Budget Question

How much money have you guys spent on video games within the last 3 weeks? I'm starting to think I have a problem...

Mario Kart: Double Dash - $49.99
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga - $29.99
Zelda Promo Disk: Free and coming in less than 2 Weeks!
Fire Emblem - $29.99
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly - $14.99
Tony Hawk 3(PSX) - $12.99
Mortal Kombat 3 - Free with 2 games above! (Yay for sales!)
Sword of Mana - $29.99
-------------------------------------------------------------
Final Cost - $167.94 (with tax approx. $180)

Edit - I'll add the totals of my paychecks as well to show you what % of my income is going towards the games. $280(worked alot) and $100(they gave me no hours) = $380. That's about 47%. Help.

I spent $188 on PC hardware today. Probably $106 more tomorrow.

What's your problem again?

A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

Not sure on dates, so this is recent memory

$50 for FFX-2
$50 for Gladius
$50 put aside for if Deus Ex 2 doesn't suck.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

If Sword of Mana gets good reviews I may ask for it and a GBASP for X-Mas. And maybe FFTA. Just how similar/different is it from FFT?
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Its pretty different other than being turn based tactical battle in Ivalice. Job Points are totally different, and getting skills is much like FF9's system where you choose where your Job Points go to. And abilities can be learned only from equip.
