Games Beaten 2016

Oh no no, definitely not decrying your abilities. You'd stomp all over my ass in a platformer contest. But I'd utterly annihilate you in an FPS arena. There is balance in the cosmos.

On that, there is no doubt. I'm perhaps competent in the FPS arena, nothing more. And that's single-player, mostly. In a competitive environment? Oof. I'm good at surviving, but not at the killing.

I stomp you both in the realm of irresponsible spending.

How much are you spending?

How much are you spending?

Well, I don't have any credit card debt, but I don't have any money for the next seven days, either. Considering that I had about $2000 on my credit cards (though, admittedly, only half of that was unrestrained game buying) at the start of the month, though, I think that's pretty good (thank GOD Vance County teachers get a bonus in November and in March).

As for actual amounts.....too much. Let's just leave it at that; I'm too scared to tally it up precisely.

Well, that makes two of us on that last bit. I go through binges and droughts, though. And I never hit the credit cards for games. Actually, I never hit credit cards at all unless I'm on travel, and that's more of a "you're not getting to my real money" preventative measure.

Thankfully, I'm blessed to have a job that pays well, so I don't feel significant financial crunch.

I use my credit cards for everything, but that's more to take advantage of the cash back rewards I get with all of them than anything else. I try to avoid spending more than I can pay off, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't binge a little too much on occasion or let pre-orders tip me over that point from time to time.

I just don't like to carry a lot of cash on me and fuck writing checks. But I never carry a balance on my credit card from month to month.

I have 2 credit cards that I buy everything with and then pay off at the end of the month. It's for the rewards. I mean, I don't need to buy things out of credit due to lack of cash. Because if I couldn't outright afford something that's luxury related no way I'm buying it on credit alone.

[Sarge]

Yep, I do that, too. Any online ordering I do is with the credit card. I don't spend money I don't actually have in my checking account, and pay it off immediately at the end of the month. And I've gotten a lot of rewards points, I've redeemed them a few times for Best Buy gift cards.

[Exhuminator]

To clarify, I mean I also pay household bills and buy groceries and everything with either of those two cards. If I spend money, it goes on a card. The main reason is one of those cards builds up free flying miles which is great for vacations.

[Sarge]

I should probably do more of that, actually. Rack up more points.

I just payed off my credit card debt with tha tax return (I spent a shitload in home improvements last summer).

Now I can mooch money off the wife without feeling guilty.

Wait, what thread is this?
