Here's my placeholder for the second take.

Now I just hafta remember all that I bought and sold so far this year...

8/11 UPDATE: I've put off recalculating all of my 2012 current-gen game buys for so long, I'm gonna call it quits for this year.

See y'all in 2013...

...granted the Mayans were just trollin'.

Technically, it's how much that YOU have spent for the year, so gifts don't count.
