Well, I've barely begun my holiday shopping at the moment, and already these gaming deals, from 2 for 1's, to bonus gift cards are draining the finances. It's bad enough that normally I have a fairly substantial backlog of games still sporting their cellophane jammies, but during the holiday shopping rush the guilt gets doubled or so.
So, in recognition of that time of year, I do declare a purchasing moratorium on games for myself, at least until the boxing day sales following xmas proper.
At that point, between gift cards and cash, I should be good to go for fighting the hordes at my local retailer.

Hmm, Jim just used it in a satirical post on Destructoid...

@Dana Olson: Ever since you pointed out "I do declare...", all I hear is Scarlett O'Hara saying it in Gone With The Wind.
Sorry Brian, I'm sure you're not a southern belle.

...and if you are, that's OK with us.

@Dana Olson: Am I unintentionally writing like Jim Sterling? Crap, I'd rather be compared to a southern belle! Let me know if I start to write weakly supported flamebait designed to fuel the fanboy wars in the interests of driving up my hit count.

@Brian Kamm: I think HE was intentionally writing like you, I do declare.
"I do declare" ... I haven't heard that phrase since... Since... Since a recent episode of The Office, I do declare.
