My dad and I have made a pact to buy only one new game a month for the next year. This pact will last from September 2015 until September 2016. We both buy a LOT of new games, so we both have a huge backlog. We want to take the year to try to catch up on our backlogs, and we figured that if we did this challenge together, it would be a lot easier. The other rule is that we can’t save up games – for example, if we miss our September purchase, we can’t buy two in October. I’ll write about what we’re up to every month, and what we choose to buy that month, over the next year.
