Speaking of games, I bought 4 new games for my PSP. Hero 30 and FF7 CC is fucking awesome.

LOL. My friend bought C.o.D Ghosts for £40 via steam and even though he has 7 gigs of RAM, and error message keeps coming up saying that he needs at least 6... That was a waste of money

How in the hell did he get it for £40? (around $65 USD). Practically every COD game is listed at $89 USD on Steam. Unless I am being gypped for being in Australia.

edit: As I suspected. Regional pricing, screwing basically everyone that's not American.

you're just now finding out that australia's prices for games are a lot higher than average? in the US most AAA titles are $60 on release day.

Yeah I always knew retail pricing was different. Didn't know Steam did it also.

I'll probably start asking Americans to buy games for me and gift them.

So lately, thanks to a friend of mine, I'm addicted to League. It's not that I didn't play it before, I did but maybe like 3 games a week or something. Now I just play. Every. Single. Day.
Please, help.


Be a man and just stop playing, so simple. How did you expect us to help? XD

that's not a bad idea. I'm pretty sure you can get around it with VPNs too.

Good idea. I'll look into that actually.

Isn't that big of a deal in the end, since I never buy newly released games, but it would be good to know if I can get out of paying extra if need be.

Get a Dangan Ronpa rom (preferably buy it online and then extract it), get a translate hack, and play it via emulator if you haven't watched the anime already.

Lol this thread.

Arch and Devour butting heads. Poppete and Arch conspiring to make something together someday. Lots of foreshadowing and delving into the psyche of an art critic/douche.

gaddamit I feel like a stalker now I wonder if this never-post folder Arch has now contains his recent RHG with poppete. Special guest posts also by Saline laying claim to his former username XD
