Not going to get into a lot of details here but I have an extremely limited budget. The Trese Brothers games with their extremely low cost and nearly infinite replay ability have been and will continue being a true treasure trove of pleasure.
So seeing the kickstarter for ST2 finally come out had me very excited, been waiting for this game for years and badly want to see it finally get made.
Which brings me back to my miniscule budget and the topic of addiction. I wanted in on Alpha, was part of the Alpha for AoP and loved it, missed out on Alpha for HoS and swore I wouldn't let that happen again, then completely missed 4X
So I refuse to miss Alpha for ST2.
But where could I get the $50? Obviously bills have to be paid, obligations met so that left me with what I spend on Cigarettes...Next month my Addiction to TB games wins out over a carton of smokes. I'll most likely be grumpy, irritable and foul tempered but it will help feed a much stronger addiction, the one that needs to see games like ST2 get made and people like Cory Trese and fallen succeed in sharing their dreams with the world.
I'm tapped out, the well here is completely dry. Much as I'd love to give more I just don't have it to give.
But I'd like to challenge everyone, members and lurkers alike to dig a little deeper, look at your budget and any addictions you might have. Can you do without one trip to Starbucks? Skip one night at the club with your friends? Eat PB&J or Ham and Cheese sandwiches you make at home a couple days a week instead of hitting McDonald's?
We've only got 12 days left to make this happen, what addiction can you overcome for at least one month to feed your future gaming addiction?
Who knows might even do you some good, this might help me kick smoking.
Please join me in pledging that little extra you currently feed into a habit/addiction.
