Sorry, I killed Pages

Nobody plays PC games anymore.

Most of the people I know are all PC gamers.

It's just a lot of them also happen to be introverts, so finding the ones that do is difficult IRL sometimes.

yes

But is PS3-PC multi not valid?

Actually, it might be? Normally PC and console shooters are segregated due to PC gamer having a terrifying advantage with the Keyboard and Mouse over a controller, but Mass Effect 3 is a co-op game, so it might have that.

I'm using Origin, so I think I can actually add people from PSN to my friends list, so if @Kaidan is agreeable to it I can try that.

A new car loses about half its value the moment you drive it off the lot.

Plus.

If there are any issues with new cars, you have to deal with them, even with the warranty and shit.

So, my dad's like, wait until someone else deals with it. And get a discount while you're at it.

Sure, often times, we have to put in some extra cash to fix small problems from previous owners' lack of care. But usually those are small.

Most of the time, it's just fixing shit that falls apart from age and mileage.

That's true.

 

[bladesworn]

Yeah, nobody has the time for that.

We barely have the time to keep up maintenance on all of the old piles of metal.

We work in a huge hangar that has a shop and room enough to construct the Jeep here, so it's not too much of a problem for him.

Also, for Origin being run by the piece of shit that is EA, actually not a half bad service. I mean it's nowhere near the level that is Steam, but it actually works well enough.

 

[Futamaru]

Well... I personally don't prefer to get luxury brand cars such as Merc and BMW, even when it's pre-owned.

 

[Futamaru]

The reason is:

High maintenance compared to Japanese cars.
People only look at your car's brand, and will infer that you are rich or from rich background driving luxury-branded car.
Makes you a target from thieves and robbers.

 

[bladesworn]

yes

The only problem is, the majority of the ones I have found are the "STOP DICKING ABOUT AND PLAY THE DAMN GAME THE WAY IT WAS MADE TO BE PLAY, THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS WE'RE NOT HERE TO HAVE FUN." type.

Apparently, my brother's chat crashed. And he just noticed.

The first point is true. Replacement parts for German cars are fucking expensive. Not going to lie about that. But the good thing is that the expensive stuff rarely breaks. So, if you do buy parts, it's usually the cheap stuff. (It also helps that with the Merc we own, there's two of them, one which is pretty much dead. So swapping parts is possible.)

Second, yeah. I guess. Not too much of a big a deal for me, because, at least the Merc, is fucking old-looking. Besides, especially where I live (both home and school), no matter what sort of cars people drive, the fucking foreign students (from China) will be driving the most expensive shit.

Now third point, I can understand from your point of view, considering I've been to China and like heard about it first-hand. However, in the US, aside from the big cities (like New York and shit), people don't fucking care. Though in places like NYC, if your car is from out of the city/suburbs, you're pretty mcuh fucked no matter what brand of a car you own, especially in the badder parts of town. And the one time I heard about thievery related to cars in Bloomington is when some guys went to a car repair shop and hacked off the catalyst converter off of every fucking car in the lot. (And sadly, this was the repair shop that specialized in japanese and german cars, so replacements were fucking expensive.)

But holy shit at that collection.

thouigh why both a 350 and a tacoma?

My dad needed a work truck that he could scruff up a bit and not be pissed off about it, so he got the Tacoma. Those things hold their value over the years, so buying a new one wasn't too much more than buying a used.

[Kaitou_Yahiko]

Now you need to get them : P

Eventually. Maybe.

My dad got himself bit in the face/neck by a dog.

Before you ask, he's fine. Incredibly small and shallow gas on his throat, and a minorly torn lip.
