Picture the scene. Teenager with only £30 to his name goes on the internet, looking for some fun (and not in that manner, you filthy minded heathens), and gets a passage to IGN Insider (thank you, NASH), and promptly spends a whole night downloading about a gigabite of videos to smother himself in gaming goodness.

Now, after the 50 minute Nintendo E3 conference ('I'm not Link, but I know him') and ploughing through the slew of AAA xbox titles, I'm finally telling myself that I do, in fact, definately need a jb this summer. Otherwise I'm going to miss aproximately 313.4329666% of all the gaming goodness of this generation. I've been looking at video reviews of Full Spectrum Warrior, Riddick (which I'll no doubt get), Ninja Gaiden (which I've been promising myself I'd get), Driv3r (which looks like it'll be a game I'll pick up second hand on the cheap), Black Arrow and Spider-man 2(looks half decent, actually), and I've been left wondering - why couldn't have these come when I was swpending money of pointlessly crap 2md hand games last summer?

Gah, everything's being timed wrong, and Halo 2 looks just about perfect... I really don't know what to do with myself, or my money.

Argh.

You just got about £300 quid for your birthday, you're going to New York in the 6 week holidays, you've bought 3 consoles in the last 4/5 months and STILL you complain due to lack of money.

You really anger me.

There are so many games coming out this year that I want. I'll only be able to get about 3 of them.

Sod that, after Manhunt the plastic bag very much appeals.

Invest the £30 in a really scary looking knife - that way your muggings should net a bit more.
