Thanks to Google documents I’ve now realized I have a love of spreadsheets and statistics. Not of useful information mind you, but of much more innate things such as my video game spending habits. I did a pretty good job of keeping track of my spending last year with Google Docs. Enough to tell you that I obtained (via trades and purchases) 46 video games in 2007. The total value for these games (MSRP) $1,775.00 of which I only spent $536.00 saving a grand total of $1,239.00

I’m got a few more useless facts from last year, but nothing that will compare to the spreadsheet I just cooked up for 2008. This year I plan to capture not only cost and savings information, but also such benign facts as how many days after a game’s release did I wait to pick it up, how long I hold on to games before trading them away, and how it all relates to extending my gaming budget.

Very nerdy, yes I know – but I’m eagerly awaiting getting my first bits of data into this spreadsheet to watch all the formulas come to life. Be sure to check back at the end of 2008 to see how the stats pan out
