Just ordered Darksiders 2 and 007 Legends for 10 bucks apiece. I already owned DS2 but traded it in for the SM3DW preorder, figured I could get it back at a low price.

Normally I would but apprently Ninja Gaide requires you to have a European sign in to play the game. That would mean I need to create another account. I herd that when you have two accounts Nintendo AUD had issues recovering everything shoudl your system fail lol.

Hence why I haven't bothered. They really need a central login system across just PAL

Pro-tip; Don't study architecture when you want to have money. Anyway, I need some cash soon, because the list of games I'd like to have is already too long right now .

In Aus it doesn't matter what you study provided you are a citizen. You can get the government to pay for your education, then you have to pay it back once you get a job. Each pay they take out between 6%-8% depending on how much you earn. It takes years to pay off but at least you don't have to pay upfront.

You can sort of do the same here as well, not precisely, but you can get a loan which basically provides you with enough funds to pay the basic cost of your (higher) education. That wouldn't be enough for the complete package though, including books, or in my case the cost of the many models and plotting. Anyway, I chose not to take the loan when I started, because if I did I would have such a huge debt by now that I'd been busy paying it off for the rest of my life!

Downside is, that now I don't have a lot of games to show .

Damn, not sure how big your loans would be but I am guessing huge (assuming you are in the USA).

Here for example when I did my degree, Engineering was $5,000 a year. International students got charged $15,000. So basically the government pays for 2/3rds of it and loans you 1/3rd (i.e. to cover the $5000). This is the amount you have to payback.

Anyhow after CPI ontop of your loan and doing engineering and MBA @ full rate since it was post graduate, I had a total of like $50,000 to pay off lol. I got that down to about $20,000 now.

Netherlands and, well, 'all my life' was also probably an exaggeration. It's not that bad .

Not really sure what the rate of the AUS$ is today, but I think here it's actually less than those numbers you mention, but the loan's probably less as well. Bare-bones it's €1,800 a year for an EU resident for a 'regular' education like mine. Non-EU students pay a lot though. Like, ridiculous amounts of money. Most degrees (up 'til Master's) take at least 5 years. I sadly needed 6 because of personal issues. The standard loan you get for each year doesn't nearly cover that, especially when taking the extras into account, so one would need the additional loan you can get which naturally also has a 'nice' interest-rate attached to it. The loan also automatically includes a mandatory subscription for public transport, which will be gifted along with a portion of the standard loan if you graduate within 10 years.

If I would've gone all-out and took that full loan I would likely have had a debt of about €35,000 right now. But, like I said, a portion would be gifted because I graduated within 10 years, so you could probably knock about €10,000 off of that number. Needless to say, €0 debt is still better than €25,000.

I'm sorry though, my comment seemed to have taken us quite off-topic...

I only got NSMB Wii U & NSLU

Here is my current collection.  There are 8 games that I have not opened, and 5 others that I have yet to try at home.

I last tried playing the Wonderful 101 (which is awesome), but Animal Crossing:NL, Fire Emblem, and Pokemon Y for the 3DS have been taking up ALL of my time for the last month and a half.

I'm writing them.

Nintendo Land
New Super Mario Bros. U
Zombi U
Scribblenauts Unlimited

My collection's going to look smaller than it really is cos several are/will be digital, like Monster Hunter and Mario Kart 8.
