You would think that once you have reached a certain point in your adult life, you will have gotten past the tentative buying strategies of youth. You know the ones, when the only influx of cash and revenue comes from your parents or a part-time job. You are very meticulous about the quality of the videogame you are buying and how long it will last you. Or deciding, in the end, would it better to hold on to it until different game, more suitable to your tastes, is released?

Years have pasted since then but those careful, and be it drawnout, habits of research and inquiry into game releases have not changed for me. Even now, I am still as likely to save my earnings for the future as make a purchase. For example, it took me about 3-4 weeks to decide whether or not I would buy Rhythm Tengoku. As a result, my clutch of videogames is a more of a slice of my personality than a collection.

Not to say that I haven't make bad decisions with my selections for various reasons. However, those bad games have made me more aware of the style and substance I like from a videogame.

Now after finally receiving my copy of Rhythm Tengoku from the wonders of the internet, I felt it was appropriate to reflect on what makes me the gamer I am. This may also spark interest into why and when you buy the games that you do. :)
