Since I've moved up to the Bay area for college I haven't had a car, so they've been out of my mind. The power of the engines, the sleek paint on a metal body, the interior design that matches the soul of the person driving the vehicle... Yup, not a single thought about any of that; until I talked to Ethan and remembered, boy oh boy, cars are like candy to me. Being as broke as I am right now though, I don't think I could afford gas let alone a new car. So instead I did the next best thing and spent $15 dollars on Forza 3. Plenty of cars, none of the soul crushing debt; well, for the most part. See in order to afford Forza 3 I'm not going to be eating a few meals this week. At the 15 dollars price point that isn't much of a sacrifice, but I've done worse for the sake of a game I've really wanted in the past, like buying Fallout 3 instead of using the money to buy a textbook for college.

So here's the topic of discussion duder's. Have you made similar sacrifices for games you've really wanted? Maybe it was something else besides games, like when I didn't eat lunch in High School so I could afford an amp (my electric guitar is kinda worthless without one). Maybe money wasn't sacrificed at all, but instead you lost an entire summer playing WoW. I don't have any real prizes to give away, but whomever submits my favorite entry will receive the first SlashseveN303's prestige award... I'll figure out what that actually is later.
