TODAY'S ADVENTURE:

I found out that my aunt only eats popcorn with chopsticks. I thought it was weird at first, but when I made the connection that eating with chopsticks means your hands stay butter-free, I now think it's genius. I just ate big bowl of popcorn, and while it took a few minutes to get the motion down, I actually think chopsticks are pretty rad. I think I'm going to keep using them- after all, the skill will undoubtedly come in handy eventually.

Do this with Cheetos, too.

They're rich, sure, and they use that money to go do awesome adventures.

That makes them shitty people?

They didn't earn any of that money, so acting like they deserve any of it does indeed make them shitty people.

Nope. Those are not regular 20 somethings. Those are spoiled brats with rich daddies that (from the intro) GAVE THEM A BLACK CARD. Know what a black card is? It's a credit card for "super-affluent high net worth individuals on a continual quest for the best and most exclusive. They own companies and frequently travel; they define success. Exceptionally discerning and style-conscious, Centurion members are global players who gain truly worldwide access to the inaccessible." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurion_Card (AMEX's version of the black card)

In other words, these are the children of CEO's. They are "the 1%" in the worst way. If this is what you think a regular 20 something is, then you yourself might be part of the problem. Getting parents to pay for everything, being handed jobs due to your parents' success or power, or just carrying the family name. Just saying.. most people don't see these characters and think, "hah, just like my friends!"

I'd honestly wait to see if the new consoles wind up kicking the shit out of current machines. Some people in the thread say that's inconceivable, but they seem to forget that a console doesn't have to run a bunch of applications and maintain other functions while playing a game. You know, like a PC.

That'd be my advice on the situation. Take it as you will.

They won't. I'll be back in a year to say I told you so. Mark my words.

Worse than piracy. If you're going to go buy a game used, you are worse than pirates in my eyes.

It's old news, BF3 is over a year old, and there are better shooters out there. And no one needs the coverage, at this point, you were either going to buy it or not, so it's not helping anybody.

Better shooters? Don't say Planetside 2, please. I don't feel like spending half an hour planning an attack just to have the pilot crash into the landing site.

Good deal. Is Premium on sale by itself? I know I got BF 3 for free for getting Mass Effect 3 so I shouldn't complain but I don't care enough to buy Premium at full price.

No, it's not. Create a new Origin account and buy the bundle. It's what I did. Rank 1-12 last night.

@Chrjz said:

Can I buy the premium bundle if I already have BF3? The season pass appears to be regular price...

You have to make a new account. It's rill dumb, but it can be done.

I bought it (had to register a new Origin ID because I already owned BF3 LE, so it wouldn't let me buy the Premium edition. Origin is really moronic sometimes) because I haven't played since vanilla BF3.

But seriously, Origin is not a smart service.

On Origin's store til Dec 11th.

If anyone wanted to play Battlefield 3 and hasn't bought it yet, this is a great deal IMO
