Be Excellent To Each Other

I'm well on track for a grand total gaming expenditure for the year of £0, unexpectedly.

And yet your favorite mobile game of the year cost 69p.

Yeah, there's so many people cheating here. Look at Ian Fairies' completed list. No way did he buy them all in 2013.

I'm gonna take a big £400 or so hit just a couple or so days before the year is out. I held myself so well.

How'd I get roped into this? I'm not doing Wongawatch, I'm doing the 52 Challenge.

Nope, I got it on a freebie.

Everyone is doing Wongawatch, you're just refusing to put your totals up.

Pah, most of mine were PS+ games. I'll do an estimated spend at some point though so I can make myself cry.

Oh yeah, guess I'll have to count that. <30> PS+ subscription.

<-84> Sold CoD Ghosts, Battlefield 4, Fifa 14 (all PS4) and The Evil Within (PS3).

<6> Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Director's Cut (PS4)
<1.39> Psychonauts (Mac/PC/Linux)

<10.79> Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA f

Jesus fuck

I'm not done yet.. I've probably got another 40 or 50 quid to add. I'll get on that later.

Yeah, I've been meaning to update too. Still wont beat American Nativity though.

The other question is how close you were to your initial estimate - i went over mine (guessed at 300-400)

I just forgot to post my purchases in here as usual, though with no hardware purchases (does an iPad count, when it's mostly used for non-gaming?) it was only a couple of hundred quid.

I need to add <109.77> to bring it in line with my spreadsheet.

This includes Geometry Wars 3, Strider, some Dreamcast games, Viewtiful Joe 2 and loads of other things.

I guessed between £800 and £1000 so I'm spot on!

<450> ps4

Looking at my estimate for the year gone by I've come in pretty far under what I predicted (£650 vs £442.06) but I know why. My prediction assumed the purchase of a PS4 and a PS+ sub on top of the same general spend as the previous year. However, not only did I not bother with the ps+ sub yet but I spent all of 2014 playing the backlog of games I'd bought during 2013. That dropped my general spend down to some indie PC games and the odd Android thing (the latter also impacted by all the free Amazon store credit I got in the scam at the start of the year) which makes sense of the 'shortfall'.
