Well, if I had money to facilitate a gaming habit I'm sure I would be a more frequent poster. Alas, I am a filthy poor.
Nah, you're going about it all wrong, man. When you can't afford things like the latest consoles and games, you simply declare that they are objectionable and not worth your time.
Example: I'm not wasting my money on a 360 or PS3 since there aren't really any games I want to play, and the ones that might be mildly interesting have inferior, barely-above-last-gen graphics. Next-gen sucks.
See, there is truth in the above statement, but people won't ever know the
real truth behind it.
