Question about splurges ($$$$$?)

Re: Question about splurges ($$$$$?)

actually, lookng back, I think I did own stuff like Metroid, etc. Which did you play?

But yeah I agree, in general it's silly to buy a system for one game, especially if you're blowing $300 on it.

I played super smash melee, mario kart double dash, nfl street, mario party, some sonic game.

If you can finish university and then find a job that pays rather generously, you needn't worry about how much debt you're in. Post-Secondary Education may cost you an arm and a leg, but rumor has it that it'll get you places in life that a high school diploma can't.

If you're paying $61,000/yr for your education, for your sake, I hope that the education is top quality. That's quite a bit of money to splurge on Uni. (I'm assuming Uni at this point).

$61k/yr seriously not worth it

What are you studying?

Re: Question about splurges ($$$$$?)

I run Skyrim on my shitty 2005 laptop.
Minimum graphics and the computer overheats every 50 minutes or so even in an A/C'd room with a cooling pad. On the other hand, crappy graphics never bothered me and you can save anywhere in the game so having to wait 10 minutes every 50 minutes is not a big deal... you'd be surprised what you can get to run on an outdated computer, even if your computer's specs appear to be too low.

Also I'd recommend looking into buying and constructing your own computer, rather than a console from this generation. You can make an EXCELLENT desktop PC for far cheaper than you'd expect.
I got my laptop very cheap before the xbox 360 even came out and it's still kickin' so I bet getting a computer now that lasts 5-6 years at least would be a better investment than a 360 or ps3 that will be outdated in a few years... food for thought.

Either way, good luck. Skyrim is worth the trouble in my opinion :P

Re: Question about splurges ($$$$$?)

international fees will rape a ****ing wallet. i had to pay them when i went to community college for a semester after highschool. its one of the reasons i didnt keep going.

Re: Question about splurges ($$$$$?)

Man, I wouldn't feel bad about that at all. I mean at least it's really a practical thing to spend that much on. It's not just good for gaming, either, it can do other shit too. I think it's a good investment. I mean I spend gross amounts on cosplay when I don't really have that much to spend either, and those aren't even really practical LOL Go for it!!
