Forums - Gaming - My Gaming Dilemma

Wow-yeah I was in the same situation as you are experiencing now. When I was your age, I wanted money to buy consoles and games but I got no money from my parents. Thus, I had to console or any games to play with. I had to make do with PC games I found online. Then, when I grew older and got into high school, my dad started giving me a little money, but not enough to buy a console with so I saved and bought some real PC games to play. Then, he started giving $100 every once in a while and I was flush with money but at that point, I became a little more conservative with my money and saved what I got (I even used the money I got for my birthday to pay for a summer school course in calculus during my junior year). I can buy a PS3 right now and still have a lot of spending money left-I just want to saved it instead. Weird, huh?

You cant get a job when your 13. Noone will take you, I know this from experience ;P

Anyhow, just ask them politly, show them the game you want, and if you can catch your dad drunk thats the perfect time for you to act. Force them to buy you the game, they will.

 You must not live by a hungarian market then.  



*Gasp* I know what you could do! Use your vg$!

On topic: Soriku. You are so full of phail. (Sorry), but you are. All I hear from you is "I can't", "I won't", "I don't buy used games", etc. Why don't you try hard to accomplish something, instead of saying what you can't do.



Do you have a friend whose parents own a business??? You could work there.....

Btw, you know how I beat ToS 18 times? Yeah, this is the reason Had nothing else to play.

Btw, my parents wouldn't let me get a job.

 Not even a Paper route?  I had one where i worked once a week for like an hour and a half and had enough money for a new videogame every month.

Not at my age, anyway.

Lol, they don't care about Memorial Day or anything. That's not a big "special" occasion.

 Well it is strange....Hmm I would complain about it whole the time..

There's always a way. If you can't buy games, then rent them. It only cost like 5$ to rent games.

I never have heard about parents who didn't wanted that their son/daughter get a job....


My parents didn't.  Even when I was 16.  I still did though.

 



Go up and down your street and ask the little old ladies or whoever if they want their lawns cut/snow shoveled.

I hated it as a kid of course, but I got about $200 once a month from the old lady next door for shoveling snow and cutting the lawn over the year. At 13 years old, that was a goddamn fortune to me. I saved most of it, but of course I bought a few videogames.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I want a job at Gamestop....It's genius, you make $$$ then you get a discount on games...
