The I promise I will not buy more gear-thread (HaRd MoDe 2017)

[el-bo (formerly ebow)]

Just one more thing, and I will be complete, I promise.

Well, I got my one wildcard (Versilian Orchestra) BEFORE Black Friday and White Christmas. But I feel strong!

The craziest time of the year has started. How is everyone doing?

I had quite a few temptations already, but haven't bought a thing, yet.

Not really paying much attention. Just got a great U-He payoff for last year's Repro investment, so I'm all good. Besides, I've been having much more fun poking holes in my Steam wish-list (Orange Box for under 2 euros ). I now have enough games to last the next couple of years

Gaming be like "I'm gonna just play one game, 15 hours later... Just... one... more...."

Actually, it's been many years since I gamed like that. These days, I probably average an hour a day.

Yeah, the first time I played Civ I, I started around 6:30 PM, the news was on tv. Next thing I knew, the sun was coming up. I've wasted so many hours on the various iterations of CIV. CURSE YOU, SID MEIER!

I received a Christmas present a bit early, just so we could be sure I wasn't sending it back.

A mountain dulcimer. Interesting.

Last of the year. It won't be long before I can make another hard pledge, and feck it up!!

Really ? I just gave it up completely since I can't help myself, must have an addict gene in my body somewhere

Yeah! I think it's because I tend to play fps games, which I find can get a little overwhelming. I'm much more likely to play shorter, more frequent, bouts.

Kinda got caught a bit off-guard today. MacProVideo are doing a yearly pass for $75, and I must say I am so tempted.

Must...Stay...Strong!

That might be the first time I ever laughed at a 'Family Guy' clip

They offered to me for $72. I'd have a woid widdem!

I had a pass last year. Hardly used it, and have all the Logic tuts I could possibly ever need. So, I pass on the pass. So far, no bank acc't casualty due to Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Been actually quite thrifty. I've got most of my wife's presents in already, and the rest is all downhill.

December 2nd is my 1 year anniversary for no 'new guitar day.' First time in 10 years.

I've never sprung for it before, but figured at today's price (Never seen it this low), I could probably squeeze enough out of it to make it pay. Probably for the best, as I likely wouldn't have got around to it till at least the new year.

Glad to hear that you have managed to pocket some cash, this year. I guess it remains to be seen whether you, or the rest of us, double down next year by way of compensation

Next year will be harder than this one for me, but I am sill in!

Next year?

Of all things, I've been gassing for a lap steel guitar. My wife thinks I want to do Hawaiian music, but I am thinking more along the lines of David Gilmour. Still. Not going to do it. At least, not until I learn to play my dulcimer.
