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.

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