SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY MAXIS

Didn't take too long for me to get into the server this morning. Its a gorgeous game as well. There.......is a lot of information in graph form to parse through for optimization, and I'm kind of disappointed I can't build my regional roadway system like usual, but this will probably turn me on to changing things on the micro level.

Obviously, gently caress the DRM thing, but whatever. If it works for me I don't give a poo poo. Also, there should definitely be a GiP region. SquirrelyPSU on Origin.

After a deployment, I almost did the very enlisted thing of dropping the money I made on a 2011 WRX. The photos of it that I took at the dealership are still on my computer. I look at them and think what life would've been like. Goddamn responsibility ruining poo poo for me.

About 3 years before I got out, I still didn't have a car, and always wanted a Subaru and figured it was a good time to get it since I knew I would be a poor college kid the next time the opportunity came around. Ended up with an 09 5-speed Impreza which I have had exactly 0 problems with (other than a 90 degree in Nashville where my rearview mirror decided it would fall off and take a chunk of the interior windshield with it).

e: Games chat, I always drive an Impreza in racing games, and all of my friends make fun of me because I spurn Ferraris for them most of the time.

Get the Polynesia DLC too, their Naval units are INSANE.

Also- Hard Reset for 3.75. HB says its a good game so i'll grab it.

I guess I should have phrased that differently. The Gold Edition is 25$, which comes with all of that stuff in addition to Civ V and Gods and Kings.

Spend 10 bucks on monoprice.com to get the length of cable you need to connect to your router to test it out. I'm upgrading my tower this weekend and running cable 35ft to my cable modem now because I'm sick of the uncertainty with the Wi-Fi.

Start weening yourself off of the driver assists as soon as possible. Things like traction control, stability control, and auto breaking will slow you down.

I need to bust that game out again when I have some free time.

Again, just the first bit about the Aston is giving me a raging petrolhead boner.

700 loving horsepower. Driver actually backing off after hitting 220 mph. Puts my dinky 160 hp Dart to shame. I've gotten her up to 104 mph, still trying to find a time when certain stretches I84 are dead to try and hit the 131 mph limit where the governor kicks in.

God I love driving.

Up until last year, 840 in Nashville was cutoff essentially (due to a huge chunk of the inbetween not being finished) and I hit 105 in my Subaru for shitsingiggles. I usually drive 4 over the speed limit.

e: But my favorite driving is 15mph in circles in the snow :3:
