pac.jpgSure, you could go and spend hundreds of dollars on your awesome gaming keyboard, and mouse, but why would you spend more than $13.37 on your mousepad?

While there are much more expensive mousepads in the world, there are very few that are as nostalgic or awesome as the official Pac-Man Mousepads, yours for only $9.99 each (not including shipping and handling).

Namco Bandai’s official merchandise store, Club Namco, offers you the option of having either Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man protect your desk surface. Both pads feature a classic screenshot from each respective game on an 8” x 7.5” vynex pad, all for a very reasonable price.

1337gamer_viva.jpgLet’s hope this is the most unhealthy $13.37 Gamer ever, because as much as I like fast food, every now and then my chest starts hurting. Anyway, this week’s $13.37 Gamer sends you off to Burger King (or “BK” as all the cool kids are calling it) for lunch, or perhaps dinner, to get a questionably awesome Viva Piñata Party Animals” toy. Either way, your friends will be jealous and will want to know where you got your Hudson Horstachio toy with a dreidel fortune spinner inside, all for a whopping 55 cents. Of course, that’s in addition to the cost of a Kid’s Meal, which will cost you $2.87.

13_gamer1.jpgThis may be the easiest $13.37 Gamer I ever write.

This week's best buy for under $13.37 has been 21 years in the making, meaning I've waited the vast majority of my life to spend money on it. And it is well worth every penny. Coming in a under half of the assigned cost, the original "Super Mario Bros. 2" (a.k.a. "The Lost Levels") was released on the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console service this week.

It will only run you $6 of the best spent dollars (or, more appropriately, Wii Points) of your entire life.

1337gamer_bombs.jpgMuch like everything else in my life, this week’s $13.37 Gamer hasn’t exactly gone as planned. Originally, I was planning on doing a sweet combo recommendation of downloadable content that would have had any shoppers out there coming in at just over $10, but, instead the total is going to come in at just under the $13.37.  Again, originally, the plan was to throw some support behind Sony’s sequel to “LocoRoco,” “LocoRoco Cocoreccho,” but then I downloaded it, and you should really just save your money on that one.

1337gamer11.jpgThe games industry is shaping up to be the most lucrative of all the media industries, but when you get right down to it, it’s really hard for your average gamer to shell out $60 every week to demonstrate they are the hardest of the hardcore.

That’s where I come in. If you’re a member of the C.A.G. forums, or if you sometimes wonder why The Frugal Gamer hasn’t been updated in a while, I’m here to help gamers satisfy their love of all things gaming, for under $15, actually, for under $13.37, every week.

Since that price is just a couple bucks above your average bargain bin or used title, I might not recommend a video game every week, but I will suggest something video game related that you should own to boast your gamer love. This week’s $13.37 gamer recommendation is Douglas Coupland’s JPod.”
