Forums - Gaming - My Gaming Dilemma

Well Soriku someone made a thread about your problem:

Maybe that can helps you.

And go out and try to find some work.

I went to restaurants on my free afternoons and asked if they needed someone to do the dishes (I went almost to 50 restaurants) but hey if you are lucky you can find a place soon.

Wash cars...;Ask family members if they have something for you...Go to work officices etc..

I had the same situation, except I had an allowance of roughly $3 a week, and only if I did all my chores for the week. Also, we never got a game for end of the school year or anything like that. If I wanted money, I'd ask for extra work from my parents, or from my grandparents.

Tell your parents you want to buy some stuff, but you need money which you can't get, but that you'd be willing to work for them for the extra cash. For example, sometimes we could clean all the bottles that my dad has in his collection (old coke bottles and stuff, they're pretty cool). If they won't do that, there isn't much you can do.

Also, you have $35. That is enough for a used game, you just have to find what you want used a year after release.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

That sucks Soriku. I have a very smart idea for u >>>> Have more occasions as an excuse for asking them to buy you games. For example, Memorial day, President day, MLK day.

Soriku.

You are so full of excuses.

Sadly, I don't think that it is totally your fault, but the fault of your parents. You don't need them to buy you games, you need to buy games for yourself. My parents hardly ever bought me games, but somehow I amassed over seventy PS1 games, adn 100 PS2 games. How and the hell did I do that? Looking back, I don't really know. But what you can do is trade games with your friends. There are twenty one million Wii owners out in this world. I'm sure you know one or two, and maybe you could trade games with them.

It's too bad that many parents are raising their kids to grow up and not giving them tools necessary for life. Did your parent's buy you the Wii? If so, have they bought all the games and accessories for said Wii? What have you bought in your lifetime? Did you buy the computer/laptop you're using to post this sob story? Did you buy the chocolate milk that you're drinking right now? Did you buy the pencil with which you complete your homework? I'm most assured that the answers to all of these questions are no.

So here's what you do:

First, don't just go up to them and ask them to buy you Super Smash Brothers Brawl, drop hints all around the house. Leave the flyer from best buy opened on the living room table with SSBB circled. Or gently mentin it when your parents are in a good mood. The kicker is to go above and beyond and do things around the house that you don't normally do like cook dinner, clean up the kitchen, etc. Maybe they will reward you.



Have you tried to hustle? There's always a way for you to make money. Shovel snow and cut grass. You could easily make money that way.

If you spent half as much time in your school bathrooms as you do posting on VGC you'd probably have the money for the games you want.

Sorry, they don't hire kids :P

 

That's not really something you get "hired" for.


 


Erm...they won't let kids work.

 


Ah, the young innocent mind.
