Anyway, I know the super urge right now is play play play until you drop, but I am learning - even with control over my own computer and connection- that some moderation is a good thing. Keeps the wife happier, bills must get paid, etc. I have no one to blame but my own sorry self if such things don't get attended to. At least you get to blame your Dad for it. |

Look not getting into Beta sucks. Personally, though, I'd rather not get into Beta than to have the CDs sitting next to my computer, the game installed, and to be told I'm not allowed to download the patch. Luckily since it's my computer, I'm 21 and not living at home, that's won't be a problem. I really felt sympathy for people who didn't get in but I think now, after hearing idiots spout "At least you got in beta!!" over and over, that I have lost it. You didn't get into Beta? Good, I hope your CPU melts followed by a cataclysmic chain reaction that not only destroys your sound card, video card and hard drive but also causes your power supply to explode in a firey ball sending shrapnel from your case directly into your eyes blinding you for life and oddly enough severing all your fingers at the same time so you can't play it when retail comes out either. Ok, so maybe that was a bit much but seriously, not getting into beta doesn't suck any more than not having your CDs by the deadline promised or the situation this guy is in. I'll make it simple for you: Not getting in Beta=Crappy Getting into Beta and not having your CDs by the time you were supposed to=Crappy Having your CDs, the game installed, and not being able to download the patch because someone thinks it must be some horrible virus that will cause the computer to self-destruct=Also crappy

All I can say, get a job and pay rent. Amazing how much more respect your parents will give you when you do that.
As for saying your parents know a lot less about computers is because they are to busy supporting you to sit around all day and play with it. (I just went through this with my oldest, he got a rude awakening on just how little he did know about computers so you won't get any slack from me) How much do you know about the job your parents do? Could you do it, day in and day out? Otto

BTW, how is it that you are going to pay for the game? And the monthly fee?

Hate to break it to ya guys, but as far as gaming goes, whats needed and how to get it to work etc, the majority of kids do know more than their parents.
I'm not saying there aren't parent's who can write in C++, but you are, by far, the minority. Lots of parent's, especially those who work for corporations I would think, take a PC essentials class and a 15 minute brief on Excel during training and think they know what they're doing. And yet the tech support for those companies still continues to lose their hair one handfull at a time
