Long story short. I took care of my mother and father for years. Most of which was with 0 gains of wealth. I am about to lose everything I have. Give if you can. Thanks, http://www.gofundme.com/j3q2pk

Alright duders,
I got a hankering to play some old PS1 games, Also some other random old games.
I also am kind of looking into buying a vita.
I would like to get things on the cheap side if I could mainly because money is tight for me. I was looking on ebay for stuff, That place seems like a real wash of just the worst offers ever. I know amazon also has the crazy people that want $4,00 for no reason for a open copy of donkey kong. So where do you guys go for used games and or systems?
As a side question, Where does everybody sell their used games?
I loaded up my xbox today, and Got greeted with a Promo for 40% off. This lead to the biggest headache.
@XboxSupport The process - "OH SWEET PROMO!" goto amazon buy $40 card, redeem card. Look at grey'd out bar and get rage. Here we are.

The above says what happened, I was painfully unaware I couldn't use MONEY to pay for my gold account? So,
Then I decided to go to the xbox / microsoft chat. The spoiler is that.
The TL;DR is they won't take money that you have in your account for it. Which this is exactly how I paid for my PSN script. And a few side notes. I am currently unemployed money is tight and in there I popped off about canceling my xbox ONE which I would of had to do anyways for lack of money, But it's worth a shot right? For the record I own just about every good XBLA game and Have a stack of games 8 foot tall, I also Own DLC for the majority of those games. The end.
Alright,
I guess My last post wasn't the clearest so I'll try to clear up what I want to do.
I seen a bunch of these game jam things, I thought it would be cool to be part of one. I am not all that great at programming or anything So I thought I would need time to get better. I also thought about the friends of mine that didn't have that much time to dedicate to a jam. With this in mind I thought people could maybe dedicate a day a week or a few hours each day working towards the goal of having 1 "Thing" done at the end of the month, No matter what that was *Anything they came up with in there respective field or their goals. *
I would like to get a group of people together all with the interest of making games. Or loosely game related things. *Music, Backgrounds, So on, So forth. * At the beginning of each month we would show off what we got done with the hopes of encouraging each other to press on, Or at least saying our dumb ass hours spent plucking code into a computer was worth it?
Your project is your project and I am not looking for us to form a game together into some Frankenstein Voltron Lego fuck wolf nightmare. You do your own shit for fun. It has nothing to do with the jam or the people in the jam.
So I didn't much done this month. I did get a loose game plan down, Played around with some things and Done some music. I haven't been feeling well, This played heavily in impeding my progress. I made a facebook group here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/248582301959728/ If you would like to join I think most major progress updates will be posted there?
This will be posted a few different places,
Would you like to be involved with a game jam, But have decided you have no talent or don't want to get made fun of for your incredibly lack luster attempts at making a game or anything to do with games? Not to worry my friend. There will be no judgments here. At least not from me.
So what's going on,
I decided around PAX, I would like to have a full ready for shitty indie hell prime time game ready to go by end of the year. It's been slow going and frustrating, My life has got in the way a lot, But not for the atypical reasons. I have been trying to do everything with this game. And this is where my jam idea came from. I would like to each month show off some of the dumb stuff I've been working on. And here lately I've been trying to cover the area's I feel I'm not too good at so some of it is really bad, But that's OK. I was thinking if people wanted to join me what we could do is as a group work on 1 thing for a month that is pretty far outside of our talent or comfort zone then show each other for a boost of moral through mutual success or failure. I would like this to happen nearly all year long. With each month yielding a project. I draw, program, design, and create everything. So one month maybe just a hand sketches of a character/s. Another month maybe a song or group of songs for a soundtrack. I would like people to feel the freedom to do the same, Not for me but for yourself. Try to enjoy something you may of once thought you hated, Or at very least wasn't very good at.
So that's the goal,
We pick a theme and a day each month summit our little piece of art, music, experiment, AI toy, plaything, or actual game if it's to your liking, Being that I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, I'm going to be teaching myself things I do not already know. I know nothing about 3D art so I may dabble in that. I was thinking that I would try to teach myself LUA and pick up the LOVE scripting language too along with it. I don't think my first project will be using that.
I was also thinking if anyone had no idea how to program,
They could use one of those game designers with no coding required like game maker, construct, game studio, so on so forth. I may mess around with some of these as well because I've been wanting to see what some of them are capable of doing as well as speeding along a project.
Here's a few lists of resources,

I hope you will join me,
If not I'm taking that as a que that no one wants to be a part of this and no one cares. So I will just keep this to myself till I put out my final game at the end of the year.
Oct's theme is Ghosts,
The end date is the end of the month since I started it late. Comment or Send me a message if you want to join.
I may never know exactly what to write about @ryan , I'm starting to think that's not such a bad thing. I miss you buddy. Your voice now is like a warm, soft blanket that reminds me of home. I will always miss you.

So,
It's a been quite some time since my last entry... Sorry about that, I Am aware these are all for myself, And maybe two other people. That's fine with me. I was originally going to call this series. "Depression Quest" As It was a major bummer when I returned home with mostly bumpkiss, But then I heard of the wonderful game of the same name, And didn't want to steal it's name. I really wanted to subtitle this second one, "PART 2: DEPRESSION HARDER!" or, "The mother fucking saga continues..." The swearing breaks the rules for a title.
Anyway,
I went to 2 things with a little success, One was the motor city comic con. I got I think 14 street passes. The second was the E3 WiiU event at best buy. Which I got 12 the first day and 8 the second. Double checking with newly made friends in the streetpass facebook page for Michigan... Suggested I should of gotten more, But I was happy with that.
In no order,
The Toys R Us display unit got stole as someone took in bolt cutters and made off with it. The gamestop in the mall closed, The other gamestop outside the mall had their 3DS brick. So it refused to turn on. It's been a lean bunch of months for street passing. As I think I've got maybe 10 total aside from the above mentioned events. It was a graveyard in my plaza. Not even the worms turned.
Nintendo announced that they would help people like me,
With the wonderful relay station at all Nintendo Zone locations. So I headed to get lunch and stopped at one. That yielded nothing. I double checked my 3DS and quickly realized I needed to update my 3DS, I did so with gusto, Eagerly anticipating the rush of happy little Mii duders trapped in my plaza like deer in headlights. I went to 3 McDonalds and a starbucks. at one of the Mcdonalds I got 1 streetpass. Nothing at the others. So today, I wanted to hit it hard. Really cover everything.
Day 2,
McDonalds 1 = nothing ... McDonalds 2 =1 Mii... McDonalds 3 = Nothing .... Starbucks = Nothing.... Barns and Noble = Nothing... Best Buy = 2 Mii's... The entirety of the Mall = 1 Mii... Toys R Us Random used stores and GamStop = ZiLCH... Yet another McDonalds = Diddly Squat ...
Day 3,
I do pretty much the same run... This time only best buy yields a bounty of 3 Mii's. I bought a McDonald's iced coffee for the first time. Which was cold and wet. Tasted like burnt coffee though.
Thanks Nintnedo for the college try, But it seems I'm the only one in my town that even gives a flying fuck. Also that fucking rabbit smooth talked his way into me getting those games. "Come on their fun!" he said, "I have this bundle, It's cheaper!" he said, What an asshole. Here I am with games I can't get no where in because, My city really fucking sucks. I can buy a gun, hookers, crack, meth, and others on any given street corner... Can a honkey get a streetpass... Seriously.
I've sort of thought about doing some silly things. I don't know what if any I may do? I would still like a streetpass / meetup / game play thing. I gave up on that pipe dream a while ago... Maybe I'll try again? I added 95 people between here, facebook, twitter, and personal meet ups. Out of all that I think around 30-ish added me back? I've played with around 10 people on animal crossing. I may just trade it in because all it really does is illustrate a lack of interest. Who knows though? I'm ridiculously poor. So the trade could go for other games. And with that I leave you. Hope you fight your demons better than I fight mine.
