DAMN YOU TECH BARGAINS!

0

Hey blog reading people, it's been a while. Honestly I've just been kind of doing regular daily stuff this year, not much to blog about as of yet. I'm moving on Feb. 1st which should be nice, since I will have a separate office for my computer (not in the same room as a bed and TV), which I think will be great for actually wanting to play poker.

Anyway I've been buying a lot of stuff lately, I luckboxed some money in two of my fantasy football leagues (1st place for 50% of a pool, and 2nd with top scoring and best record for 40% in another) which ended up being a little over $500. I decided that I wanted new monitors, there wasn't really anything wrong with my 22" monitors, but since I've been playing more PC games I wanted a bit better resolution. So I found a pretty nice deal on techbargains (DAMN YOU TECH BARGAINS!) for two Dell 24" monitors with HDMI ports for $189 each, free shipping. Ended up after taxes around $400,.

I also decided that since my last xbox for some reason is afraid to go online (damn phobias, I know). I found an xbox 360 elite bundle deal that comes with 2 games, a $50 giftcard free shipping, and no tax. The $50 Giftcard pretty much = free 12 months of live and $10 off a game of my choice (DAMN YOU TECH BARGAINS!). Today I bought another bundle, which was Tekken 6 for xbox 360 with a wireless arcade stick thing. I don't usually go for this kind of stuff, but those nicer arcade sticks are usually like $100, and this was on sale for $65 (normally $150) so I figured thats pretty much just buying a game by itself. Will probably slow down a lot on the purchases after I move on the 1st though.

Oh and that last deal was from techbargains too, if you don't know what this site is they basically just find nice deals on stuff online http://www.techbargains.com/?r1=1 .



EDIT: Just ordered another one of those Tekken 6 Arcade stick bundles, I figure if I'm lame enough to have an Arcade stick I may as well have two so ppl can play some drunken arcade style fighting games.

EDIT:EDIT: DAMN YOU TECH BARGAINS!


P.S. I apologize in advance about your credit card bill and/or checking accounts.

I'll try to update this pile a bit more (probably get some pics up when I get my office set up).

Later.
