Dont. You'll be contributing less tributes to Lord GabeN if you buy a car.

The expenses are quite high to be honest. Insurance, road tax, maintenance, monthly loan and petrol prices then, the worse part is, it is a depreciating asset.

You are not buying a Mclaren F1 where the second hand price has risen about 200-500% by now. Typical cars will just depreciate as time goes by.

US fuel price is about US1.++ per litre?
How about Australia?
Actually if US fuel is US1.++ per litre then our fuel really very expensive as our fresh graduate salary is about RM2000 then fuel is RM2.30 while in US, their fresh is also about US2000 while their fuel is US1.++

Anyone know is this true? or any part of that is wrong?
*
Unleaded in Australia is currently $1.53 per litre.

Dont talk about fuel price, even car prices, sigh, we are paying way more for the same car from the same factory.

A Mazda 2 in Australia is $17k while in Malaysia, it is RM82k which is $10k more than Australia despite we are much closer than Australia to Thailand. I choose Mazda cause I know both Malaysia and Australia Mazda dealers get their stock from Thailand.

30GB? Reminded me of Shadow of Mordor then. If you have UniFi 5MBPS to 20MBPS, it'll take lesser than few hours.

And you didnt realise that not everyone has the luxury to have 5Mbps to 20 Mbps. Thats why they have to wait for more than one day.

You might have it but not everyone else.

Buying ori games isn't that expensive to be honest. Especially if you shop smart. The hardware is actually quite expensive than the software but then that depends how often you upgrade.

How much one can spend for another hobby like photography, clubbing and so on?

I tend to just let it slide as it is a waste of time at the end as they will probably say only kids play games like that kid over there playing on his mum's iPad.

This is my hobby and I dont see whats wrong with it because I am not hurting anyone or it is not severely affecting my life. I only play 1-2 hours a day so it is not like it takes up a lot of time after I am more careful with my games selection.

I still get carried away with the "One More Turn/Planet/Mission" problem at times.

Same. They are just missing out on an experience. Like people who enjoy reading books or watching movies, playing game is another sense of enjoyment. The stories that certain game tells are truly brilliant.

Games like Uncharted, The Last of Us does better story telling than certain blockbuster on the big screen.
*
I have to admit, I am enjoy games more than movies for the past 5 years. For movies, you dont tend to get great movies with well written script, directing and plot coming out all the time as Hollywood just want to make more explosion filled movies with paper thin plot which I am getting tired of. While the most audience dont care about good story anyway. While potentially good movies with good acting, solid plot and great directing like Gone Girl is now banned by our beloved government because it has a lot of boobs. Sigh.

Games on the other hand, you literally get both story heavy games and also fun action heavy games fairly often. On one hand, you get a lot of games with great story like The Walking Dead or Bastion while on the other hand, you get great action games like Uncharted or Tomb Raider. Heck, even Shadow of Mordor that have paper thin story, that game is still pretty damn good because all the game's meat are found in its gameplay and its innovative Nemesis system. Still itching to buy till now.

Dont know about them, I am intending to keep gaming as a hobby because I think it is fantastic.

Just keep gaming if you enjoy it. Nothing wrong with games as you are not hurting anyone or it is severely affecting you.

Yeah and some of those JRPG of the yesteryears was truly memorable. So many hours spent and much joy was gained playing these games. Such as Dragon Quest, Lunar: Silver Star Story, Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Kingdom Hearts, WILD Arms, Xenogears.

Playstation 2 was the best generation for JRPG.
*
Since childhood, I am always leaning more towards strategy games so it is quite unfortunate that I never get to experience those PS2 games.

Still, I am looking forward to FF15.

I dont think G2A is a safe site to buy from as they are known to sell unauthorized keys from retail copies where the site cannot guarantee it's legitimacy. They are not authorised resellers like GMG or Gamersgate so you might get a lemon at the end. Avoid it if possible and stick to well known sites than dodgy CD keys sites.

Skyrim with regional pricing isnt too bad, just wait for a 50% sale and its damn cheap d.

I'm using the others and their pricing is up to close with Steam. The one's bought is either games from 2013 and below and it's definitely worth the price.
*
It is not even about worth the price or not. It is about where are those keys coming from. Are they from questionable sources like Russia where some are region locked? Or they are just regular region free keys. We dont know and it can be either.

G2A is banned in many places from Steam forums to reddit because they have a shady reputation yet you want to recommend people to try that site. Steam regional prices isnt cheap enough for you?

If anything happened to the game or your Steam account, then, no one can help you. I would appreciate if you do not post deals from those shady sites.

I'm buying from other place. Not that. Why would you assumed is G2A? Did I mention it? Dude, chillax. Either way, I am purchasing and in any cases what's forfeit would be the website and our consumer rights being revoked in that case.

But since we paid, Steam would ought to know that too. It's not like all the key marketplace is that.  icon_idea.gif
https://www.facebook.com/Kinguin.net/app_152351391599356

Let's say Kinguin. I deal with them. They also helped Fnatic and etc. Or perhaps someone somewhere is losing money, so there's a reason why people want to say "scam , yadda yadda". We will see things through all the money we invested. That's all.
*
One moment you said G2A, then now you say it is from somewhere else. Maybe you should chillax, not me. Why all the sudden so defensive when people ask you something?

Steam does not know whether you paid for a key or it is a gift or stolen if you do not buy directly from the store. It just appear on your account details as Retail Key. Not all CD key stores are dodgy but it doesnt mean you should trust them when there are plenty of other legit sites to buy from.

Whatever floats your boat then.

Imagine if you have girl friends who can't even comprehend why you'd even play games in the first place  sweat.gif They'd be like "Why would you even play these guy-ish games? Fun meh?". Was playing Warframe once and my friend was like "Wah, how can you play violent games?" (Think was wondering how I can stomach violence). Have a few friends that do play JRPGs, but mostly on handheld or console, rarely on PC. Then guy friends, mostly Dota/LOL/HoN as usual. I have a few that thankfully play other Steam games, we played Payday 2 together quite a bit back then  biggrin.gif . But still, I'm not really considered part of their gaming group, rarely get included in their game discussions.  sad.gif

I kinda know how you feel except you replace it with guys. My social circle dont play games because they are hardcore football fans while they think games are a waste of time.

Well, console players tend to overlap with your PC games considering a lot of games are multiplatform these days. I used to have a few friends who is a console player and we do talk a lot about games. I poisoned them XCOM and Mass Effect while they introduced me to Demon Souls, Little Big Planet and other exclusives.

Still want a PS4 for LBP3 and Tearaway.

Then met some other peeps from playing other games.

Thats true, people who doesnt play just MOBA in Malaysia is really rare.

How is the state of BF4 now? Is it better now?

Felt like going back into a shooter these days. Either BF4 or the new COD AW for me.

let me share my story, i was anxious in getting batman arkham city, all the prices are jacked up and while surfing i found the cd key sites, bought  but i had an issue that meant i can't play the game since the key is used, exchange more than 10 emails to them and finaly i can play the game after a few month i heard GodaWFuL( i meantGFWL)  was terminated and the game is moving to steam, my plead for a steam key at wb was dismissed even the shop didn't reply my email with all my proof and stuff. I had to repurchase that game in GOTY as the the old keys are useless, unless you don't mind getting burn once in a while and feeling very lucky with steam/origin go with it but be wary man.  sweat.gif
*
That is exactly why I never want to buy from these dodgy sites. You might be fine this time but it might not be next time. And I heard stories of people getting their games revoked after activation because it is a dodgy key. I rather pay RM20 more than save that money.

I know there is one site that sells CD keys that are 100% safe but their prices arent as cheap as other CD key sites. They are only good for very early preorders like they had BF4 for $43 when it first announced where they automatically upgrade to LE when it is near release.
