Applying Prices

Anyone else sometimes find themselves compare their normal everyday purchases to the cost of games you don't have yet?

For instance, the other day I filled the gas tank in my truck and I thought to myself something along the lines of, "There goes Challenge of the Dragon."

    Not really, but I do sometimes look at junk I've accumulated and consider how many hours of my life went into producing the requisite income.

    haha. I used to do that with food. I would buy like five frozen meals and would think, man, there's that such and such game down the drain.

    not really games are for me are secondary. I think more of if I sold this game I could pay off that bill. gaming is fun but i would rather have a full belly than a game

    Hahahahha, awesome XD

    I do this all the time. Pretty much everything I buy, I think of what game I could have gotten for it.

    For example, I went to Brazil for 2 and a half weeks (including everything - flight, food, accommodation, etc...) for the price of a loose Stadium Events (which I own).



    The question is... do I sell it, and go somewhere else?
  • pats1717pats1717
    No I compare everything to how many hours I have to work to get it. That really puts things in perspective.
  • smokinjoe24smokinjoe24
    yeah, I compare more to hours. Like this weekend, I made $33 at my folks yard sale and sat there for about 4 hours so a whopping $8/hr. I was upset...lol.

    Gaming for me is also secondary, hence why I buy the gas not the game. It's not even a question about what comes first. It's just an interesting thought that pops in my head every now and then.

    I seem to do this both ways. Eating out for a week raises the biggest issue for me. $50 bucks for eating out. $20 bucks for making my own. That's a semi-rare game each week I could be adding to the collection. Still, I do love Chipotle.

    Yes, I did this last night even. Tracy and I were counting our vacation fund (we each put $20 in a jar every paycheck)and we were up to like $500, and I said "Damn, there's my Cheetahmen 2 money."



    She didn't like that.
