Being poor sucks - Jan 11, 2007 03:52
Currently im poor, my girlfriend is studying, and while shifting from the money she gets from studying to her trainee job we get a month witout pay, plus we loose around 300$ each month because the job is less paid than before.

How does this fit in gaming!

Well i need to plan my game purchases.

Currently iv planned to get WoW: TBC as thats the game that will be worth the most hours for the time i cant afford many games, but what else would you consider this winter and spring?


ohhh and send your spare copies of new games to me please!

UT 2007, Spore, Mass Effect

I doubt I can convince you but imo you should forget about the WOW expansion and wait for Huxley instead.

I' m sure others will promote the rest.

If you go back every month how can you think about paying for a MMORPG?

Buy guildwards instead,made by former blizz employers and is supposed to be great,and is free of a monthly fee.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Paying 10$ a month for all the playtime i can get is cheap, and shelling out money for guildwars would be more expensive for me, plus i have friends playing and a guild!

When is ME due out? its on my want list, so i might just have to rob a bank to get it!

I was under the impression that ME was due out in March not sure if first or 2nd part, so plenty of time to plan that bank robbery.

I suggest putting that money on your daughters college fund or somthing like that instead.

Vx, sorry to hear that man. I am poor for this month only, but luckily I received
£500.00 worth of gaming vouchers for the year via gift card scheme. (Gotta love
the parents!!!)

So my famine is pretty much paid for this year! Ahoy there Lost Planet..

You have no idea what being poor is VX.

Why not trade in something that sucks, or you have completed, that' s what I do although not for the same reasons, I have limits on how many games I can keep in my library at any one time.

Don' t you love it when people make stupid comments about other peoples circumstances when they have no idea themselves....meaning the post 1 up from ginjirou' s last post.

Ah he is a spoilt little rich boy is he? Ah that explains his know it all attitude.

Back on topic: You decided what your going to do yet VX, would love to help you out with some of my old stuff, but I dare say you may have already completed half of them and the other half might not interest you.

Well currently im playing Zelda for the GCN, its great, veyr fun, i júst miss voice acting, it feels very 90' ies.

I havent finished Gears of War yet, since my 360 broke down just near the end. I also have Rainbow Six: LV sitting around, that i havent played yet since... well look above.

I found Eternal Darkness for GCN in a used bin for 7£ so i couldnt quite resist that, and grabbed it. So i do have games to play, but games like Lost Planet and Graw2 would be nice to be able to afford.

I hate trading in old stuff, i trade in 3 games and barely get half of what a new one costs, no thanks!

I suppose this goes without saying, but buy Assassin' s Creed and Bioshock as well.

eternal darkness is the best gamecube i ever played. playing through as each character will take up some time.

i was going to rec Oblivion for the 360 as i put more time into that game than any other ever i bet. i clocked over 300 hours of fun gameplay without the downloads. but if your 360 is sick, just stick with eternal d, and zelda.

Wow, you must have had a lot of free time. I play it almost nonstop every weekend, but i try not to get too caught up in it. I have finished Thieves guild, Arena, Dark Brotherhood, and almost the main quest.

But maybe:
You are poor because you suck...

Sorry couldn' t resist

Ahh My bad. Waitaminute. You know the hookers & drugs are cheap in Detroit! All the hookers/dealers jobs are going overseas, so they need to stay competitive.
