Thread: What to do when you are broke and hankering for gaming...

  1. What to do when you are broke and hankering for gaming...

    I have recently ran out of money because...
    A) I have to buy my own food, and I need it to survive.
    B) I bought too many games already
    C) I bought plane tickets to E3 and need some money when I am there
    D) I haven't recieved my tax checks or my reimbursments from going to Seattle from Microsoft.

    Here's a list of things I do when I'm broke as a joke and can;t afford any new games yet I still have the desire to play games.

    1) Look to the pile of shame. So shameful.
    2) Hang out on TNL
    3) Invite friends over and play games that you usually play alone with others. Like Sonic Adventure 2.
    4) PLay all those games you forgot you owned because you are a "collector" like me. They need the love too you know.
    5) Write a review or a feature about games. You always wanted to, so do it. Who cares if you have nowhere to submit it yet, just do it.
    6) Bake something. (You can put weed in it XenoGigas)
    7) Make a stupid thread about it like this Ugh

    And here is a list of things NOT to do wen you are thinking about games and are completely broke.

    1) Browse ebay. Just don't do it. Just don't.
    2) Go to game stores. "I'll just look" Liar.
    3) Go to the arcade. Its only 25 cents (50 times...)
    4) Spend too much time on TNL. You'll crack when everybody raves about the newest bestest coolest thing...

    Thats all I can think of now. Add to the lists if you like. And discuss amongst yourselves.

  2. Well, at least you didn't mention "look at porn".

  3. I just play through some of my games. I've always got something that I haven't fully played. Or, if I have nothing that interests me at the moment, I go on the internet and "vegitate". If that doesn't work, I listen to music and "vegitate". If all else fails, and only as a last resort, I sell stuff.

    God... I CANNOT stress that enough. DO NOT browse eBay while broke, and hide ALL your credit cards. Anything with limited time offers for things you want will kill you. I am SO weak.
    HA! HA! I AM USING THE INTERNET!!1

    The trick is to know when to quit. Not that I do...

  8. If your broke play something online. Some online games never seem to get too boring.

    The first step, actually, is to admit you have a problem....

  10. Maybe you could cut back on the amount of food you buy. Or be like me and buy generic brand everything to save money. Generic chips/pop/rice/corn...mmmmm.

    I'm broke now to actually, and I'm addicted to games. It's a lethal combination. My biggest problem is hangin' out here. I've been trying not to come here that often, because whenever I do, I always end up wanting to buy something.
