We recently asked you how you got by in lean times. It's a topic we take to heart, since our countless millions are usually tied up in so many high-risk investments that we can't always get access to enough walking-around money to cover DS games and lobster stuffed with tacos. So we got into the habit of looking for deals.This practice creates an unfortunate compulsion. Sometimes, rather than buying the things we want, we'll buy stuff we normally wouldn't be interested in just because it's so cheap. There have been occasions where, based on a tip from CAG, we've loaded up on clearance games, only to be struck with buyer's remorse. Of course, there were other times when we've been surprised by quality, as was the case with our $2 copy of Nightmare of Druaga. It didn't change the world, but it was fantastic for a $2 game.
Have you ever been afflicted by Cheap Game Fever? Ever find yourself getting up early to go to Circuit City for something you don't really care about?
1. hahaha, I wouldn't exactly that I "don't really care about" the games that I buy off of clearance. I freakin loved Guilty Gear DS. For 10 bucks, I say that it was well damn worth it.
And yes, as soon as I had heard of the 10 dollar a game sale they had at circuit city, I left the apartment immediately. It shouldn't be a surprise since they had too many good games to miss out on.
