I've only had one go so far, but it's fun!

Fucking hard, too.

Bwahahaha!

Dance, monkey! Dance!
<11.48> Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition (x2) (PC)
I’m interested in this Katana Zero thang. Mind you, I’m interested in that World War Z too - was that any good in the end?

I meant to tell you this was on offer. But I forgot. And now you know anyway.

It’s ok, I am a member of Deku Deals! I get email alerts on the games I’m interested in.

Thanks for thinking of me though.
Is that the sequel to Daphne?

And it's on my Switch wishlist, so Nintendo will email me in about a week to tell me it's in sale.

It's the thought that counts.

It’s probably a good thing you didn’t say Switch, I guess :D
I have also bought Peggle 2. Cheers Devilman!

<2.50>
Ooohh I fucking love Peggle.

<5.68> Peggle 2 + the two add on packs - XBox One X

Most powerful games console in the world. Plays Peggle.

I increasingly can't be arsed with 'big modern games', give me Chase HQ in MAME, or Peggle 2.

Mat should have waited. What a dick.
I’m guessing he used some coins. I spent all mine on Flashback.

I played this for over two hours last night, what a joyously fun game.

Punch! Kick! Screen-exploding fireball!
<2.69> Steamworld Dig (Switch)
Had a bit of a nose through the old Xbox backward-compatible games in the store. Resident Evil Code Veronica seemed pretty cheap at £3.74, but I probably wouldn't play it, so I opted for <6.75> for Daytona USA instead.
Peggle 2 <2.49>
Is it considered bad form to change your vote?

My original vote was based on getting a new PC this year, which I won't be doing as I don't need one, and fucking shitloads of cash has recently, and mysteriously, disappeared out of our bank account.

I want to change to £400-£600 from my current £2000+

It'll let me change the vote but in a way it's kind of cheating a bit.

There is an option when the poll is created to allow people to change their vote or to lock it in.

Its set to allow change (as it has been all the other years its run)

There are no prizes or awards for getting this right / going way over / going way under if you want to track what you thought you'd spend at the start of the year and then revise it now (almost 1/2 way) then you can
OK I'll leave it as it is then. However my official estimate is now £400-£600 for this year.

With my current PC usage scenario I simply can't justify buying a new PC. The only PC game that's on my radar for this year is Borderlands 3, and I should be able to run that fine on my existing PC.

I think you say this about every car you buy too.
I opted for £200-£300 and I'm already at £381. Oops.
I went for £300 - £400 and I'm already at £226.

RUH ROH
I went for £800-£1000 (I'm not entirely sure why... maybe was already considering a new GPU) and I am on £187.55 so I guess I'd better buy MOAR STUFF

I am lagging, too. Might get mud trucks and all the dlc

Approve.
Huh, it turns out I forgot to vote at all. I haven't and won't be buying any hardware this year and I've got a bunch of unspent Game vouchers from Christmas so I'm not expecting any real outlay; £200-£300 should cover it.

Mudrunner with the DLC is £15 on PS4 sale at the moment, I think.

Raiden V is on offer at £9.59 if it's of interest to anyone.

How many times have you bought that now?
Only twice - once for the Rift, once for the Quest.
That registers almost zero on the Gaywood-Resi4 scale.
