Question: Do borrowed games count for this? Because I feel like they offer the same purpose: a new experience to be shared with everyone else.
If so, then I recently was able to get The Last of Us from a friend of mine. Not very far, but it looks to be pretty good. I do love me a stealth game every now and then. |

Goat Simulator
This is the best game ever. If you don't want it after watching some gameplay footage, something is wrong with your taste in gaming. Also got a mechanical keyboard for my computer. I love the clickyness. |

Doesn't count as a video game purchase per se, but I laid hands on a prepaid Motorola Moto G Android phone by Verizon. I waited like an hour to get the number from my iPhone 4s transferred to the Motorola phone (which seemed like an eternity), but in the end, it was worth standing and tiring my heels over.
I was originally going to get a Samsung Galaxy Legend, but the Verizon Store I visited didn't have them, and that's how I ended up with the Moto G. In any case, I'm starting to like the Android community already. Last edited by Seiji J. Konokama; April 5, 2014 at 10:27:03 AM. |

In addition to a bunch of CDs from Zia/Buybacks and an old scanner, I bought another Wii Rock Band guitar controller at Savers and received some Pokémon/Mario/Animal Crossing toys from Yoshi.

Got myself some CD's while out with Cat and Yoshi. I also got some board games and plushies from Yoshi. I also picked up a book called "The Geek's Guide to Dating" by Eric Smith. Saw it and ended up reading it for 5 minutes just flipping through the pages so I bought it.

Tried the Demo for Conception 2: children of the seven stars.
...I don't know why it's M rated. It's no worse than Sailor Moon when the sailor scouts transform... but the gameplay is really fun. It's from spike chunsoft (makers of the Pokémon mystery dungeon series) and Atlus (makes various anime based games). |

The Last of Us PS3 bundle [500GB PS3 and The Last of Us] - $240
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD = $30 Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD - $20 I find it odd that the bundled PS3 system was only $250 when a standalone 250GB PS3 sells for around $300-$350. |

I wanted to wait till it arrived before I posted this, but I finally got my mitts on a used copy of Pokemon Black 2. Despite having only a DS Lite, I really don't seem to be bothered by the fact that Nintendo plans to discontinue their WiFi Connection service for pre-3DS and pre-Wii U systems on the 20th.

Haven't actually bought anything yet, but I downloaded the demo of the most recent Mario Golf today. Not really into sports games, they usually end up being pretty bad, but it's a free demo so I figured I'd try it out later today.

Recently, I picked up Super Mario RPG FOR $40, an AGS-101 GBA SP for $20, MGS 1 for $5, Pilotwings for $5, and some cheap GBC games for $4. Pretty good, if ask me.
EDIT: Also picked up Kirby Triple Deluxe with some of the money I made selling extra games. Last edited by blueumbreon; May 11, 2014 at 01:30:12 PM. |

I recently paid off a pre-order of Mario Kart 8. I'm going to be selecting Wii Party U as my free game when the time comes. (If it weren't for my family wanting Wii Party U, I would have gotten Wind Waker HD. I already own New Super Mario U and Pikmin 3.)

Earthbound for Virtual Console so I have something to play on my Wii U until Mario Kart comes out. Also got something really cool/old/kinda obscure on eBay, it'll be showing up next week.

I decided to finally bite for these titles; they came to slightly over $31 in US bucks :3
- Batman: Arkham Origins - Far Cry 3 Deluxe Edition - Tomb Raider (the reboot) GOTY - Sleeping Dogs Being a PC gamer has its perks. Never pay full price, anyone? |

For $8 I bought a used multitap for my PS2 Slim, and Battletoads for NES.
I've always enjoyed Battletoads as a kid, and it's great to have it back in my possession. I tested the multitap on my PS2 Slim and it works, but it's filthy as heck. Maybe Sunday I'll get around to cleaning it. *EDIT: 5-25-2014* Actually, I had some time Saturday to get the multitap cleaned. Went through about 5 cotton swabs wet with bleach to get the gunk out of the controller ports and the ridges made famous by the PS2 itself, but it looks tons better. Last edited by Seiji J.

Man did I get ripped off on a video game purchase today...
No literally! Rip Off for the Vectrex - Complete with manual and overlay for $25 (which is actually a pretty good price) from local retro game store. It's worth it just for all the jokes you can make from it. |

I also just picked up my copy of Mario Kart 8 (longest work day ever.....). I will getting Pikmin 3 when Club Nintendo will stop acting slow (can't imagine why).
Also got Lego City Undercover coming in the mail tomorrow ($23 shipped). Doubled my Wii U collection in one weekend! |

Traded Red Dead Revolver and GTA San Andreas for Max Payne. Didn't really get into GTA, and although I liked Red Dead Revolver, I couldn't get past the training round without my PS2 returning a read error. The disc was that badly scratched.

Finally caved in and got a Vita.
Borderlands 2 Vita bundle: $199 Further proving that bundled systems are cheaper than stand-alone. Mainly got the Vita for Remote Play with my PS4, but the bonus game and memory card is a nice bonus. |

Got Deus Ex: The Fall for free on the iTunes App Store, as part of IGN[dot]com's Free Game of the Month campaign. I also bought a new all-in-one memory card reader to replace one that had failed within the past month.

I found an Atari Flashback, the 7800 model, for $10. Unfortunately, one of the controllers is completely busted, and the other is very stiff. Thankfully, I believe it works with the original Atari 2600 controllers, as well as the Sega Genesis controller.

It's the first day of the Steam Summer Sale and my spending is off to a decent start considering how often I usually buy games; I bought Dust: An Elysian Tale, Bully, and Double Dragon Neon for a grand total of $15.
edit: More games! I bought Final Fantasy VII, NiGHTS Into Dreams (both the Steam versions), Euro Truck Simulator 2 with the Going East! expansion, Monaco, and AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome for a total of $24... meaning I've just spent $39 on $127 worth of games.

Got myself a copy of MK8 today. Next step: get a Wii U.
(For those curious, the idea is for me to register it before the other Wii U Game Promotion thing is over; even if they weren't doing that thing, I'd be buying MK8 sooner or later anyway. And I was in the part of town with a GameStop today, so I figured there's no reason not to.) |

Can you believe that I found both Pokemon White and White 2 for $10 ($5 for each cart)? And at the swap shop, even.
The previous owner(s) didn't even have much of a progress report, but still. I feel like somebody sent 120 volts AC through my body. Last edited by Seiji J. Konokama; June 26, 2014 at 03:30:17 PM. |

Hearthfire and Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim, about $16 in total. It was at a discount, and, well, what better way to spend limited amount of cash on anything other than expanding something that I'm already playing?
The latter is, like, whoa, a whole new game. I like this kind of DLC. |

So... This is a little embarrassing but...
I lost my Pokémon X so I went into town to get another Gen 6 game. Was planning on getting Y just in case I found my X, but I found a copy at my local Goodwill store for $20. I just couldn't pass it up. Now that I've bought it, I'm sure to find the one I lost. |

I put $20 on the Humble 2K Bundle.
What's in it? BioShock, The Darkness II, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, BioShock 2, Mafia II, Spec Ops: The Line, X-COM Complete Pack (which contains: Apocalypse, Enforcer, Interceptor, Terror From the Deep and UFO Defense), BioShock Infinite and XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This is why I'm a PC gamer |

You might have heard about it in my Ramblings thread, but for $5 at a garage sale, I did just recently acquire an old flatbed scanner for my pre-USB ThinkPad. Despite being filthy as heck, the scanner seems to function normally with a color resolution of a whopping 200 dots per inch.
For $0.25 more, I also managed to pick up the cassette version of Opera Sauvage, a 1979 album by Vangelis, the musical genius behind Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner. Opera Sauvage is now officially the oldest cassette I own. o.o Edit: Actually, I lied about the dpi on the scanner... It appears that it can scan up to 600 dpi rather than 200.

Sold a lot of un-used stuff from my collection recently, so obviously I need more stuff to fill that space. These are all from the last two weeks:
Spike (Vectrex) with manual and overlay - $20 shipped off eBay Scramble (Vectrex) with overlay - $25 shipped off eBay Paper Mario Thousand Year Door official strategy guide -$10 shipped of eBay Wii U Pro Controller - $35 shipped from BestBuy (which decided to do the "spend the extra $3 on some small stupid item to get free shipping but then ship out the items in different packages" game) Also bought some actual arcade buttons and joystick for a project. I'll give you a hint, it involves the system for the first two games on that above list. Last edited by Yoshi648; July 23, 2014 at 09:21:26 AM. |

I picked up EcoFluxx (anyone who has played Fluxx will know how crazy this card game is), a few dice, and Wii Music, mostly to see how stupid it is.
I also snagged some random items from Yoshi's collection, including Super Mario Bros. 2, Tetris Attack, a Yoshi's Island strategy guide, Mario Party 3, and some empty game cases. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; July 23, 2014 at 12:59:03 PM. |

I picked up a Logitech TrackMan Marble trackball for $1, and these four cassettes for $0.25 each:
- Joe Satriani - Not of This Earth (1986) - The Essential Whitesnake (2000) - Huey Lewis and The News - Fore (1986) - REO Speedwagon - The Second Decade of Rock and Roll (1991) I literally just got back from the resale store from which I bought all this stuff, and thus I have yet to find time to test them. The trackball is USB AND PS/2 compatible, meaning it will work not only on my iBook and Lenovo, but my ThinkPad as well. I bought it due to space constraints on the computer desk on which my ThinkPad and Visioneer scanner are set up. |

There's a big Atlus sale going on now in e-shop, so I just had to buy one of the games.
I got Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked for $14.99 (originally $29.99)
Game Picture
The gameplay is very similar to Fire Emblem and the storyline is similar to that of Death Note. |

I paid $14.99 for the Humble Square Enix Bundle. There's too many stuff there this time around.
While I was at it, I also got Final Fantasy VIII (Steam rerelease). At least this runs easily and doesn't have graphical issues or the perils of emulation. |

Picked up this thing called "Last Dream" on Steam for 4 dollars. As if I don't have enough games to be playing atm, but I played the demo once, recall liking it and thought I'd give the full game a shot.
I have to say, Steam may be about as neat as my bedroom, but the amount of game you can buy for next to nothing is kind of amazing. |

Hey guys, I just went on one of those things I don't do. What are they called... shopping sprees? Oh yeah...
So I got Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, Shantae, Link's Awakening DX, Mega Man V (GB), Sonic Advance 3, Pokémon Pinball, and I had Pokémon Yellow and Donkey Kong Country GBC gifted to me. THAT WAS FUN EDIT: Just realized I had extra money so I bought Metroid II: The Return of Samus EDIT 2: I replaced Super Mario Bros. DX on my list (so nostalgia blinded) with The Lost Levels, and then I bought that. Last edited by TurtwigX; August 11, 2014 at 12:13:11 PM. |
