Those are very easily returned to the store from which you purchased. 'cept greasy fingerprints. That and missing booklets is why I buy new.

I know what you mean. I've gotten an occasional good used game here and there, my brother has amazing luck with it.....but I won't talk about that (fucker found entire game systems for sale at a garage sell.....nes, etc, etc....dirt cheap too)

Just wait forever, randomly get nostalgic and search amazon....found 'new' games for the ps2 for like $20. Been meaning to finish off some of my collections and that gave me a bit of hope.



or for pc....STEAM SALES. the end.

I was actually considering buying that ace of spades game during their free weekend a while back. But after playing the zombie mode for a bit, and realizing that the most fun I had was collaborating with the other 30 people on the server to crash said server....I made the better choice of not.

No play on PC anymore or try to steer clear from it and I don't steal or hack anymore either.

If I'm going to give in to buying a used game then it would be for damn good deal. For instance buy an older game (that I was interested in before but never bought it) for like $10-$20-$30 and you'd get 2 or 3 free as well.

And ever since Bioshock Inifinite released I remembered I never finish the last chapter from the first Bioshock, so I just finished that up recently.

And damn I wish I could find a nice nes for sale (hopefully cheap), but I rarely ever check out yard/garage sales. Good for your bro.

Right now I'm probably gonna go for Far Cry 3 that's at $30 now. Not so sure on Assassins Creed 3 though.

I am ready for the weekend. I just got back Sunday from a 4 day field training exercise. I am tired as fuck.

I don't think I've bought a physical copy of a game in a long time...

Steam has all the games I want to play.

Craigslist.

And dammit Chewy. Post your videos in the video thread!

My OCD is going off. LOL

He's gotta get top poster in this thread!

Which makes me wonder, what is the max number of posts a thread can have? I know it's a couple thousand, but I guess that's a setting that can be changed.

If I go by my photography forum its almost.. 200,000 post or so. Then you gotta open a new one.

Comment from me in this thread in June of last year:

APW 2.0 had over 100,000 posts
APW III has 30,000 posts.

We've got some catching up to do. I no longer own an Evo so my whoring must be done here.

Last Week (I'd forgotten I posted about it many months ago):

When I was a active on EvolutionM.net (Evo boards) we had a thread like this in the OT section that topped something like 2 or 3 million views and hundreds of thousands of replies. The scary part was that 90% of those posts belonged to the 'OG's of which I was one for a while.

They've since revamped forums and had to nuke that thread because it was using too many resources. They then created APW2 and enacted a rule that they'd lock the thread and create another every time it topped 100k replies. They are on APW5 now.

It is in honor of that original thread and my fellow post whores that I request this name change. Good times were had and Frank loved chasing girls much too young for him.

That last piece is irrelevant....or is it?

They've apparently gone nuts over there recently and the posting has increased.

[Calum]

damn, I can't believe I'm tenth. Nor can I believe ~20% of my posts have been in this thread.
