A gamer chick, do you have a photo?
I would never post a photo of me on the public internet, when I dont want it connected to my real life. Nowadays even normal internet user easily can use programms that are able to recognize your face on a photo and search as example google-pictures for your face. So everyone that knows me in real life and who has easy access to photos of me, can simply scan his photo of me with these face recognizing programs and then let that program search on the internet for pictures with my face. And easily know that I post on Wrongplanet under the accountname Schneekugel and read all of my posts. So if a real professional hacker tries to get my informations, I cant do much about it, because standard firewalls and adware blocker dont help much against those. But at least I dont need to give this private informations on me to everyone that is simply able to download a face recognizing program. ^^ (If you are interested in the abilities of these programs, that every standard PC user can easily handle:

The thing is that you're most likely forced to pay nearly full price for a second hand game... So what's the point of buying it used if you can just buy it new?
New games cost here around 65 EUR if they are fresh released, and normally decrease to around 50 EUR after some months. Official bought used games normally cost less than 50% of that here so new released games are around 25-30 EUR, and about 15 EUR for older games. If I pay that money to Gamestop or at a official Microsoft marketplace, wouldnt personally bother me. So here buying used games is definitly cheaper, specially when you dont need new released games and additional give them your old games to turn in.
