Math Decision Time

[Paragon Fury]

Well, after getting a nice $100 gift for helping the lady across the campus repair her porch, I've decided to get myself something. Problem is, I haven'y decided what. And I'm having a hard time really.

To start with, I do need a haircut, which is $10, and to pay back the $13 I borrowed from a friend last week. Leaves me $77 to work with.


I have quite a few options as to things I'd like, but I can't just can't make up my mind for particulars. So I'll set it out for you to help; I'll list the items I've been considering (I've rounded the prices up to the nearest dollar), ad you tell me what you'd do.

Remember, you can't go above $77.


Dragon Age: Origins Collector's Edition (360) (I'm going big or going home on this one) - $75
Assassin's Creed 2 (360) - $57
Left 4 Dead 2 (360) - $57
Red VS. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles - $69
Blazblue: Clamity Trigger Limited Edition (360) - $57

The Big O: Complete Collection - $35
Ghost in the Shell: SAC - $38
The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition (360) - $37
STALKER: Clear Sky (PC) - $35
Bleach Box Set #4: The Bount Arc - $40
Brutal Legend - $50
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory Complete Collection - $34


GRAW 2 (360) - $15
Blue Submarine No. 6 Complete Collection - $15
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Collector's Edition - $23
Red VS. Blue: Reconstruction - $23
Gears of War Hardcover (Book) - $14
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC) - $15





Note: I already have MW2 coming and paid for, and I already have Borderlands, so don't ask about those.

Ghost in the Shell: SAC - $38

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC) - $15

These, and some snacks to help with the fun.

I agree. I think you'll get frustrated having 3 epic games to play, you wont know which one to play!

BUT, if you don't think you'll have the money for Dragon Age any time soon, I'd say just get that now.

I hope you remembered to factor in taxes.

AC2 and GRAW 2. Problem solved.

 

[Paragon Fury]

I did. And if somehow the math works against me, I'll just cut out whatever item I need to keep the most of what I want.

 

[oppp7]

I'm not sure what to get, but I'd suggest against getting the Red vs Blue videos. They're on the internet for free.

 

[infinisynth]

I would get Dragon Age, (might be tough finding a collectors edition) but i'm just gonna wait for AC2 and L4D2 to make the "greatest hits" list and pick them up for 20-30 bucks. I've only got about 3 hours in on Dragon Age but it is very enjoyable so far.

 

[Paragon Fury]

I'm not sure what to get, but I'd suggest against getting the Red vs Blue videos. They're on the internet for free.

Having to wait for them to load individually on a weekend on a college campus is more than enough motivation to want to buy the DVDs.

That, and my laptop won't have Internet all the time, but the CD drive works almost everywhere.

 

[Johnn Johnston]

I'd go for AC2/Brutal Legend and STALKER.

 

[Paragon Fury]

Hmm... not enough common occurances to say for sure yet.....

 

[Enigmers]

Look into Torchlight, it's 20$ on Steam and it's a great game if you enjoy ARPGs like Diablo, Titan Quest, etc.

Having said that, Left 4 Dead 2 is a blast (At least, the demo is), so that seems like a safe bet. Assuming the internet doesn't tax you ( can't remember exactly how this works on the internet) then L4D2 + Torchlight would cost you 65$ (USD)

 

[Paragon Fury]

Well, I've narrowed it down:

I'm going to get:

GRAW 2 ($15)
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl ($15)


But I can't decide what I want last. So help me pick from these last 4:

Ghost in the Shell: SAC
The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition
Blue Submarine No. 6
The Big O





PS: Don't worry about the rest of the list. Its going down for my Christmas Wish List, with DA:O, AC2, Bleach and RvB at the top of it.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

As an anime junkie, I'd probably take Ghost in the Shell and Gundam (though I personally wouldn't take Ghost in the Shell if only because I've never watched it before). Big O wouldn't be a bad alternative. Or Force Unleashed (I really want to play it...) I'm sticking with Gundam till the end though.

Go for a bunch of used great games that you missed. They are only about $15 at most a piece, and you know they are good for sure. Not to mention you can get a bunch of them. That'll keep you occupied until you raise more money for new games.

 

[Aardvark]

Sell a kidney. Then you can get the lot, plus have some left over for hookers and beer.

I don't drink, and I don't think I'd have any money leftover after buying all the games and stuff I'd want to, not mention saving some of it.

I mean what, kidneys get $300? $500? At best $1,000?

Thats not a whole lot of money when you get right down to it.

 

[Aardvark]

Try $5000. Since you're a non-drinker, probably more.
