bought them both at the same time ?

I was originally only going to buy one but my friend really wanted me to get Animal Crossing and I really wanted to get Ocarina and i was really unsure on which one to get 1st

I had just completed Link Between Worlds and have since stopped using my 3DS altogether due to boredom

spent about $100.00 at once .-.

on the plus side im now 3 games away from getting the luigi hat 3DS protection bag thing from club nintendo

$100? thats nothing, my last trip to EBGames i threw out $425... which I really shouldn't be doing, as my backlog already consists of 70 something games...


to answer your question, I never buy just one game at a time.. i head in and buy anything that looks interesting.. which i will admit, is a bad practice on my part..

.-. do you get discounts for spending soo much D: ? i thought i was spending a lot .-. or do you never go to the same EB twice ? (and holy crap i thought i was the only one who went to EB everyone else refers to it as gamestop which i guess is because they don't live in canada)

no, no discount unfortunately.. my job just left me with alot of disposible income..

granted, since I am now unemployed as of today (government shut down our department and the work we did is being assigned to a separate department we worked closely with), I won't be buying any games at all for the foreseeable future..

This happens to me a lot with tes games first time being oblivion. right after I left the sewers I didn't know were I wanted to go soI just stood there for like 20 minutes. I never played a game as free to roam as oblivion before it was intimidating!

No, I generally only play one game at a time. Even when I was a teenager back in the golden age of video arcades, I would really only concentrate on one, maybe two games at a time. Get tired of that one, and move on to another. I still haven't outgrown that pattern.

Right now, I'm kinda between games. Sick and tired of Skyrim, and there's no Fallout on the horizon. I don't play too many other games these days, mostly just Beth games. This leaves me in a holding pattern until FO4 is released...or until something else comes along that wows me, which is pretty unlikely.

This is my rule, not an exception.

I do usually buy off the discount racks though so if there are two or three to choose from buying them all isn't that big a hit. The hard part is choosing what to load and play first when I get home.

'This one is probably the best' might lead to a long time before I get around to the others if I load it first.

But it might lead to giving something an unfairly short trial if I leave it for last.

The trials of being a gamer...

I am surprised you can afford to drop $100 on video games at once. I sure can't.

Ocarina of time is epic, but you will get many more hours of enjoyment from Animal Crossing. Decisions, decisions.

I'd get OoT just to have it. Maybe another day get Animal Crossing.
