Nothing monthly. I treat myself at Xmas and birthdays, but rarely at any other time.

Not including the net, because I'd be using the service I'm on with or without gaming.

Then there are the games, and the time I spend playing them, which adds up quicker than I care to think about. Not many LAN parties anymore, but I do hit one up about once a month on average for the lulz and fraggage. And, as I don't really pay for games much anymore, I have paid my share of hefty dues to Uncle Sam's fat cousin... But I swear, they were all gifts! Honestly, I've never even worn an eyepatch!

Dear me. I'm going to go bankrupt at this rate.

faer, why do you buy so much hardware.....a mouse every 2 months??? wtf dude...gimmie your old stuff

None, too poor to spend cash on games and electronic stuff.

And by the time I'm not poor, I doubt I'll be needing a gaming machine.. so something like what I have now will do, Just got a lot of plans in life.

Well, back before starting GW 27 months ago, I used to spend maybe $70 a month - 1 new title + 2-3 $5-$10 games from the bargain bin, but some months I got 2 new titles.

Since then, I received HL2 as an Xmas present and have purchased HL2 Episode 1 ($20), Dungeon Siege 2 ($20), Dungeon Lords ($10) and the Doom 3 expansion ($5). I kind of want Bioshock but my gaming rig is w2k so I'm SOL there unless I upgrade to XP.

As for GW, there's 2 regular edition Prophs ($100), 1 RE + 1 CE Factions ($120), 2 SE NF ($140), 2 EotN ($80) and 6 char slots ($60).

So, $555 over 27 months comes out to $20 a month.

Wait - upgraded video cards on 2 PCs, so add another $300 - brings it up to $31 a month.

I have bought some new keyboards and mice, which I wouldn't consider specifically gaming-related.

People who voted Nothing, if you bought GWEN, that's something: 40/12 = $3.3333 a month.

I was wondering: Should I count Magic cards in this? Or is this computer gaming only?

Necro Quink · Nov 14, 2007, 04:14 PM // 16:14

Hmm, very good question.

I used to spend an average of 150-200 a month. But that was in my good old times i played FPS games online. I smashed my gaming mouses keyboards and even flatscreen TFT and LCD monitors on the ground.

Now i would say a good 15€

15$ a month, and sometimes I buy a game now and then.

Fried Tech · Nov 14, 2007, 07:31 PM // 19:31

but this month:
orange box
forged alliance
mario galaxy
umbrella chronicles
................ and i could keep going
I both love and hate the holidays at the same time lol. they make me broke

**cosyfiep** · Nov 14, 2007, 07:44 PM // 19:44

I bought eye and nothing since.....and before that I got a slot or so....so if you average it out, about $9/month. I'm a cheap date

Longasc · Nov 14, 2007, 11:07 PM // 23:07

Nothing, only GW, but there all CE's and extras.

Molock · Nov 15, 2007, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Nothing on software I just get them for free most of the time from a friend who works at a Gamestop. Coolest chick ever. If hardware counts, then I guess a few grand.
