I know, I know. I need to start having something different for blogs soon, or I'll lose the few people who are actually interested in my blogs. Also, I know that many of you will realize that I'm blowing though an extremely large amount of money lately, and I still don't have a job. I'm not completely sure how my game addiction, student loans and savings account will work out together...

Anywhere, the heart of this post:

• $0.89...........World Series Baseball
• $0.89...........MVP Baseball 2003
• $1.79...........NHL Hitz 2003
• $1.79...........ESPN MLS ExtraTime 2002
• $8.99...........Eragon

• $0.00...........GunGriffon: Allied Strike
• $0.00...........Xyanide
• $16.19.........Scarface: The World Is Yours
• $0.00...........Red Ninja: End of Honor

Oh, and if anyone is interested, a couple of days ago, I posted a review of Legacy of Kain: Defiance for Xbox.

So, yeah. I have an addiction. No arguments. But GameStop is doing Buy 2 Get 2 Free on the used XBox games. How can I turn that down? Despite that, I managed to drop $100 bucks overall on the following games. Not completely a good idea, seeing as how I have $600 a month to pay on student loans and no job as of yet. The future is lookinga mite week, but I go Thursday to try my driver's test for the third time. If I can parallel park, I've got it beat. And then I can start looking for a job that I'll be able to go to.

As usual, thanks for any comments you people leave!

This past weekend, my parents and I went on a vacation that was surprisingly relaxing. Though it's difficult for me to admit it, my mother has family in West Virginia. We left about 4 A.M. on Saturday and stopped at a few places on the way there. We got back this morning (Wednesday) at 2 A.M. or so. Most of the time, we sat around a campfire and talked. I also read a book (The Book of Fate by Brad Metzler) which I haven't done for too long. We spent some time driving around down there and if you've never ridden West Viriginia roads, you should basically envision a roller coaster. Side-to-side and up-and-down all over the place.

Anyway, on the way home, my parents graciously let me stop at a GameStop on the way home. Luckily in was in a mall (I had found it via the GPS), and there was also an f.y.e. store in the mall. It's a good thing, too. The GameStop had about a total of 20 games for Xbox and no more. I did find out that apparently they are trying very hard to eliminate the XBox stock, as the games were Buy 2 Get 2 Free. I did get a good haul at the f.y.e., though. The pre-owned games were buy 2 get 1 at 50% off. Not all that great, but it helped.

Yes, I have an addiction. and I have added more games to my collection. I went to a different GameStop than usual, and I found some games that I didn't have. Buy 2 Get 1 Free can be good and bad... But I did finally find a copy of Black.

Yesterday, my parents and I drove to Muncy, PA for a tool sale, and afterwards, we met a friend for supper while we were up in that area. Fortunately and unfortunately, my parents indulged my addiction for more Xbox games, understanding that the places to find them are currently dwindling. Two of the three GameStops I visited and one of the two f.y.e.'s didn't have any Xbox games what so ever. At the Lycoming Mall, the f.y.e. had some good games that I had to pick up, especially since they were doing a buy 2 get 1 50% off. Not as good of a deal as GameStop's buy 2 get 1 free, but not too bad.

• $7.19..........Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
• $2.24..........Cold Fear

Then, we found that there were a couple GS's in Bloomsburg (GPS is awesome) and I went to one of them while my parents went through Wal-Mart. I hit pay dirt in GameStop. I started buying some sports game to up the contents of my collection, too.
