Dishonored 2 DLC expansion - 'Death Of The Outsider'

Few quid cheaper from G2A than Steam's £19.99 with only a modest amount of support for Russian gun-runners included. *

Borderlands 2 / Dishonored / DOOM / Dishonored 2 / Max Payne 3 - I have realised they are the kinds of games I really like and can be bothered with these days. GTAV gets a pass for its world and characters and story and music, despite the mechanics of the game being a bit clunky. Everything else on the list is just so lovely and smooth.

* Allegedly.

Look, this is clearly a ridiculous thing to have bought on top of the other games above but it’s on sale right now so screw it.

~£125 under the lower limit of my guess. Even less this year I expect.

I’ve got a base PS4 going if you want it for a reasonable price? Might have some games to throw in.

Called it pretty much bang on back on January 2nd, insofar as it was either going to be a new PC year, or a non new PC year, and it turned out to be the former.

Remove the cost of the PC from the year's total, and if anything I was a bit on the low side with my original estimate, but I put that down to being better disciplined these days at not buying games I know I'll never play, and shopping smart on Steam sales and G2A for keys. (Also, it really helps that I'm able to maintain completely freerolling Hearthstone, to the tune of card packs that would cost £250+ in real money.)

Indeed, Hearthstone and fruit machine emulation take up the overwhelming majority of my gaming time, and both of them are completely free.

I talked myself out of buying any VR and still managed to spend £1k. Not doing that this year (he said, optimistically).

Guessed “£1000-£1200”, was spot on until I got the Switch for Christmas, which is fair enough on my estimation skills. Next year may hold a new PC (circa £600-£1000) and possibly a second PS4 for a man cave plus a new TV to go with it, so 2018 won’t be any less spendy...

I guessed £1000-£1200 but I've already nearly doubled that and haven't yet totted up my final 2017 total. I know that the SNES mini, a new 3DS and the Switch have impacted my total. I can't spend that much in 2018.. No way.
