I found grog the easiest to let go, weed was a bit more of a test (but I think it's 'cos I still smoke cigs).Originally Posted by Zaladane
I only ever experimented a little with what may be considered harder stuff when I was younger, no injecting though.

Thats better than my food funds!

I spend ~$200/month on food for when I'm at home, ~$50/month on coffee (between Tim Horton's and shitty work coffee on breaks), and probably another $50/month on lunches when I'm at work for longer than 5 hours.Thats better than my food funds!
There are lots of places I can trim some fat in my budget, I just enjoy some of my luxuries too much.

I probably spend around $120 tops on cigs per month atm.Thats better than my food funds!

$150 is just a guess for me. A carton was $75-$80 and I would buy one every payday.

Shit dude, I spend way more than $100 per week on food and I live on my own

Hey, I am by no means in any position to argue the luxuries of any man. I simply cannot wait until I find work. Any work would do; I can put off the dream job until I at least have rent covered.

I usually only eat one meal a day. I'll have a small snack (a granola bar, usually) on my first coffee break at work, and if I'm there for a full day I'll have a small sandwich a couple hours later, but otherwise I don't eat until about 5-6PM.Shit dude, I spend way more than $100 per week on food and I live on my own
All I've eaten today were a couple of chicken strips and french fries when Dallas and I had dinner. I generally just don't have an appetite.

I guess it would just depend on how good a deal you could find some of the rarer titles for. You could always buy commons whenever you want.Thanks.
I'm torn between whether I should use the money to fill out common titles, or if I should use it to buy one or two expensive titles. I can always flesh out the commons when I'm filling up space in an order from JJ Games to make the most out of the shipping costs I'm paying.
Also, since I love complete in box games so much, I might use the money to fill out a bunch of common games, but grab them boxed/complete. Then in the future I can just focus on grabbing the more expensive/rare titles.
I'm torn.This would be so much easier if I didn't love boxed games so much.
Yeah, I'm glad that I don't mind the cart-only look when it comes to my NES. Although looking at all those boxed games is satisfying I'm sure.I'm the same way as you with my O2 collection though. I'm only going to be satisfied with decent CIB copies. Might be tough to find decent copies of Power Lords, Atlantis, Killer Bees, Turtles, and Demon Attack though. But I guess the hunt is half the fun.
I was also thinking about maybe working on my Sega Saturn or Sega CD collection.

Speaking of food, I'm off to have some dinner.

I could imagine a Saturn collection would get expensive really fast.I guess it would just depend on how good a deal you could find some of the rarer titles for. You could always buy commons whenever you want.

I think my ultimate plan, which I decided while drooling over a bunch of CIB games that I want to buy, is going to be get at least the boxed copy of any game where the cart typically sells for less than $10. So pretty much all of the sports titles, a few of the more common action/adventures, most of puzzle games, etc. Once I start getting into the more expensive games (basically anything where the cart alone is costing me more than $30), I'm just going to go for the cart.
The thing I keep telling myself is that I could buy just the cartridge for Jeopardy (as an example) for ~$3, or I can buy it complete for ~$8. Which I'm trying really, really hard to decide if I want to do right now or not.
Fuck it. ON A SPENDING SPREE I GO

What is your opinion on invisible tape? I came across some CIB NES sports games at a Goodwill, but they were closed with invisible tape that would have undoubtedly torn the labels if removed. Aside from the irremovable tape, they were in near mint condition. I have never seen cardboard corners that sharp, but alas the tape... I think the price was $1.99 but it was before you two were collecting, so I ignored them.I could imagine a Saturn collection would get expensive really fast.

OHHHHHHHH! This is horrifying!
Much better acting that the last though.

On one hand, I hate it because if it's on the box long enough, especially near an edge, it can be a pain in the ass to remove. On the other hand, if it's a cheap enough deal, I am willing to put up with it for a bargain. If you see a deal like that again, regardless of whether I have the game or not, if you pick it up I will buy it from you.
