When you're talking about people's minds, is it really possible for a statement to be true 100% of the time?
 
Now, I'm no Psychology major, but I would argue that perhaps your personality traits are merely conflicted. Say one would possess an "honesty" trait, but that same person also has a compassion trait, or a fear of confrontation. In this situation I could easily see someone choosing dishonesty in favor of sparing this persons feelings. In this context at least, one trait could win out over another.  
 
Also, aren't environmental influences and their effect on personality the entire basis of Behaviorism? I don't think I would agree with the statement that we are born with personalities.  
 
Again, I'm not a Psychology major, so please forgive me if my statements are highly uninformed. 

Yeah, OP's pile isn't so bad. Especially because those are all recent games. I used to have some really bad buying habits, and I spent most of 2010 beating most of my games. I'm now down to a nice healthy backlog.   

• Wind Waker
• Paper Mario 1000 Year Door
• Dead Space
• Red Alert 3

Online multiplayer with infinite grenades plox!

This argument would be valid if the Xbox 360 version wasn't $20. Has the games quality decreased? No. Has the market value? Yes.  
 
PS3 owners have a right to be angry when other platforms pay a third of the price for the same game. 
 
Also, really? $3000? My PC cost me $500, which is less than a launch PS3. I thought we were past this. 
  
You're forgetting that prices have much less to do with the projected value of a product and everything to do with competition. When everyone charges $60, then it is a fair price. But when competing against Steam and it's ridiculous sales, $60 begins to look a bit outrageous. If the consumer is used to buying games for cheap, you are going to struggle whilst convincing them to spend more.  
 
I'm not saying $60 is unfair, but I will say that it turns me off from buying a game new. I'll sit back with a stack of budget games (Torchlight, League of Legends, Trine) and enjoy them plenty while I wait for these high price AAA titles to end up on a Steam weekend for $10. 

I got: 
  
PB Winterbottom  
Monkey Island Special Edition Pack   
Machinarium
 
Didn't buy very much, but I'm trying to be realistic as to what I will actually play. Overall, I wasn't too tempted by anything. I probably should have bought Mass Effect 2 for $10, but I don't mind waiting for the price to drop again. I thought about Bad Company 2 at $7, but I figure for multiplayer I'm probably just gonna reach for Counter Strike when it's time to shoot people, and I hear the SP isn't all that. 

Mine would have to be, in no particular order: 

•  Audiosurf
• Tetris
• Counter-Strike
• Street Fighter Alpha 3
• Burnout Revenge
• World of Warcraft
• Garry's Mod
• Guild Wars
• Braid
• Lumines

I'm hoping for: 
 

• Shank $5-10
• Mass Effect 2 $10
• Geometry Wars (it's already at $4, so if it drops at all I'm buying it.)

I think it's important to remember what makes PC games unique in the first place, it isn't just the mouse and keyboard. It's the open-ness of the platform.  
 
I see people pointing out the "Big franchises" on the PC, and how they're being migrated to consoles, however; 
 

• Garry's Mod is not on consoles
• Minecraft      is not on consoles

I don't have a list so much as a budget... which I haven't decided on yet. 
 
I'm just waiting for the Steam sale to get crazy.
