I have a job. I umpire baseball games and work shifts at a local gas station.

Then why did ya even invoked parents? "Ha, it must suck not having a job" would be a lot more appropriated.

Fact: Over 50% of people on Newgrounds live with their parents.

I simply played the odds, my friend.

I don't have a job, but my suggestion was to rent games for cheap, instead of buying them, so I'm not a parasite.

My PSN ID is xscoot. Crazy, huh?

I disagree with Street Fighter 4, I thought it got quite boring fast. Then again I'm not like a hardcore fan.

Steam Weekend deals are what I look for.
Like, Audiosurf was this weekend. It was $5 off.
Great game with great replay value AND you can save a couple of bucks.

Even though someone gifted it to me, I still stand by Steam weekend deals haha

Today I bought Dead Rising for $9... Today was a good day. FYI for everyone who has Gamestops near them with games like Pokemon Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire, they'll pay $15 for it... So it may be time to go exchange a few of those unwanted Pokemon games.

I've got a high budget for games but I rarely spend a huge amount, opting to actually buy games that are significantly cheaper (and err shitter). Games shouldn't cost $ 110 and only give you one play-through.

I will only spend $60 for the games I really want, but I also trade in to get something else in exchange. For me it always depends on how much I'm willing to spend.

Lol so this must mean i'm a spoiled shit? Spoiling means i'm raised to think that I can do whatever I want and don't have to listen to anybody and just take whatever I want from my parents when my life isn't like that at all. Yes if I ask for games for Christmas I will get games, but that doesn't automatically make me spoiled shit.

Also lol @ knowing for a "fact" just because I said so on the internet.

I have never heard of a more ludicrous statement. I have never struck you before boy, I have been good to you. If you ever say such a ludicrous statement again, I will not hesitate. The internet has been honest to me since I was a boy and I have been honest to it too.

I agree with many of these statements, and there's nothing wrong with cutting back to save money on entertainment, especially these days. I myself rarely buy a game when it's $60 but instead look for $30 and $40 price tags. I still think $60 for a game is a bit ridiculous. I buy epic games that I could play forever, like Fallout 3, Oblivion, and more. I only buy a game if I know it will be worth it, and I never rent.

If you have Xbox live get some community games. Some are only like $1 and are pretty good.

When life gives you lemons make lemonade, then watch helplessly as the lemonade pours onto the ground because life didn't give you cups.

DotA made me quit Warcraft.
Back in the day, all the games you played were completely original, and tons of fun, now it's all just DotA clones with like one good game inbetween, but no one joins because they're off playing DotA.

Fuck you for liking DotA.

I'm sort of a budget gamer, I try not to buy games if I don't think it'll have alot of replay value (800 hours of gameplay on brawl, no joke.) I should still rent games more often though, it costs a fraction of the amount that buying it would and will probably get you most of the content.

I'm not really a budget gamer, but $60 for a video game is silly. I'll only pay that much if I know it's going to be an amazing experience.
