I, for the most part, stopped buying games "just to have on the shelf". Some classics are excluded(Lucky for GOG), but for the most part, I just buy the games I want to play when I want them. I mean, the is literally a deal for any game, at any given moment somewhere out there.

eagarza12: I can't resist a good deal!
This. This is my problem. Especially when I can barely afford the deal's price to begin with haha. >.>

I try very hard to budget my time especially if I know that something like a Civ game that requires a fair bit of time invested is coming. If a bunch of, for example, adventure games are on sale in rapid succession I sometimes get a bit of a genre backlog though.

The only time I get very behind is when a game I bought out of curiosity and expected to be done with in a day or two suddenly takes over all my spare time for weeks. The last time this happened it was Recettear - it completely ate my schedule.

Braussie: It affects me a lot more this year, cause I don't have money to spend on games. Normally, I save up some to make sure I can get games I'd like while on the christmas specials, but w/ getting married, making the wife pregnant, and her stopping work for 4 months starting Jan, all while providing for a stepson...

The answer is Yes!!! I'm happy when it's something I don't want, cause then I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

PS- I love this community! yesterday there was the bullfrog deal w/ 2 games I wanted, but couldn't get due to current finances. Someone gifted them to me. I was able to give them a steam key for a duplicate of a game I already owned to say thanks, so it evened out. There are so many great hearted people here... Many blessings to you all!
Congrats! I know what that's like. I got married and now have a son and have to think twice on my gaming dollars now. Ten years ago when I was single and just daing my (now) wife, I was able to impulse buy a lot more. Plus I knew I would have to time to play what I bought. I now have to budget funds and time.

What's really cool is that my son is getting old enough now where he is getting into video games too.

I sound like my parents now:
"You can only play video games (for him it's Super Mario Bros.) on the weekends..."
