I am weak willed, and terrible. God damn Steam.

So, I made a vow around mid December to NOT buy any more games until February. I spent a shit ton of money this month. A SHIT. TON. OF MONEY. I bought a new computer on my credit card, and then my parents surprised me by saying they will pay for it since it was my birthday. Several hours later I owned a PS3 and SOCOM Confrontation. The next day I bought Resistance 2. I also did some heavy book shopping (which I am proud to say have been reading through at a good rate). A few days before my birthday my mom bought me a G1, but that was put on my card as well. I also am the guy to go get take out, so I have a few charges from various dining places. Despite not paying for a good portion of it, I will still have a fucking heart attack when I get the bill. I looked over next years list of games coming out and nothing really perked me up until SF4 and Killzone 2 (the first one was fine you cunts). I was set.

Then Steam decided to have a sale. Those mother fuckers.

A ton of games I had my eye on but was never really tempted to buy dropped in price, drastically. It was a dream come true, and a nightmare I wanted to wake up from. After a few days of staring, one day of writing prices down, and then an hour of more staring, I narrowed my list down to several games that would come out around $30. It was actually $27.47. I now own Mount and Blade, BioShock and Savage 2. I broke my promise. I have shamed my family. God damn it Steam.

God damn it.

At least you have money.

I'm staring at a cheaper Left4dead and I STILL can't afford it.

My decision to purchase a PS3 was very similar. I owed money, the debt was forgiven and I went and bought a PS3 with the money.

I have spent so much money on all this kind of shit. I think the only reason I work is to buy more electronic shit, half my paycheck is spent on that crap. I'm lucky I have no bills.

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need.

@Atlas - I'm right there with ya.

@David - It's why I go to college. So I can work a job I love so I can buy shit I don't need. :)

@ Davey Boy

Hahaha I hate my job. I hate my boss. And yet I do it all for vidjagames.. I do love my new-ish computer though, very worth the 140 hours I slaved away at the torture pits for it.

Jobs are awesome. I love my job even though it sucks a lot. You have to balance the pro's and con's to see how lucky you are.

Yeah, I got a raise last month and my government grant for my house came in, so I've got a little bit more disposable income than usual.

LOL @ ALI D.

I can't afford shit, no job, parents are victims of the economical failure, and we're just having a bad time .-.

Fuck that, think of it as a break in the wave of an economic shit storm. Buy the goods. Fuck the man.
