My Tax Refund Shopping Spree
ArrestedDeveloper | 7:25 PM on 04.04.2009 12 comments


Most people hate taxes, personally I love 'em. Why you ask? First off, to date I haven't been able to put the money together to buy my own Destroyer class ship or SR-71 Blackbird. Second, even though the government forcibly takes more money out of my check then they're supposed to and I don't receive interest on that money, they're really saving me money that I would have probably just wasted on worthless DLC (I'm looking at you Resident Evil 5).

So after receiving my tax refund this year and paying off my credit card debt (debt free bitches!) I decided to go out and buy a few things I'd been want the past few months but didn't have the disposable income to justify.

Behold!



I've read, played or watched a little of everything already and I gotta say I'm as happy as kid in a blowjob shop.

*And now for something completely different.



*Not actually completely different.

You are giddy as a school girl. Congrats on paying off your debt.

Excellent choice you made there.
Chooly's Destructoid Blog
Balls. My refund went towards my student loan, and not of my free will either. That was a grand and a half I never saw.

YESSSSSSSSSSS it's always sunny in Philadelphia. wonderful choice.

I approve of your decisions. I ended up using my tax return to get my car painted.

@Kyousuke
Wait, only one? I can understand thinking only two of those things are good (let's be honest, video game novels are the tabloids of literature), but saying that either Valkyria Chronicles or IASIP isn't good is madness.
RonBurgandy2010's Destructoid Blog
Sunny is fucking amazing. Good choice.
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
Valkyria is fantastic.
B-Radicate's Destructoid Blog
I love Sunny. I've watched every episode at least 2 times from each season.

I wonder if the Dragon Age book is any good, is it from the same writer who wrote the Mass Effect books and/or Baldur's Gate storylines?
ArrestedDeveloper's Destructoid Blog
@Professor Pew
No, the lead on the Mass Effect game and novels was Drew Karpyshyn who also did one of the Baldur's Gate books. According to the back cover of the Dragon Age novel the author, David Gaider, is the lead on the upcoming game and worked on Kotor, NWN, and BG2:SOA.
