New cars: now with that many more things that can go break and go wrong.
I don't seem to be in sync with trends. I'd like a simple car. My dad just bought a Honda Element. It might not be that attractive, but I'm thinking about getting one. It's simple (automatic all wheel drive aside; I'd prefer the standard four wheel drive. I'd also prefer a manual transmission). Honda has even done away with the carpet on the inside. Nothing fancy, just lots of space to relax in. No fancy gizmos, computers, or toys that will cost half as much as the car itself to when they finally become sentient and try to kill everybody inside.
I don't buy a game that's less than 25-30 hours. I may rent it, but I'll never buy it. I have little interest in playing games online, so I have little reason to keep playing it once it's done.
An RPG needs to be at least 40 hours just to play out enough of a story to make it worth playing. I don't have a lot of free time, so if a game doesn't have a good story, I lose interest fast. Graphics and action aren't enough to get me through any game.
This guy needed caffeine pills and a bottle of Coke to get through them? Time to toughen up. Sure, by the end of my Star Wars marathon I was about to gouge my eyes out, but the run time isn't more than 13 or 14 hours. That's hardly worth a snickers bar, much less caffeine pills and coke.
