This is true, I usually wait for stuff to go one sale or buy it used so that way I don't have to play full price. There aren't hardly any games these days worth the $60 price tag they put on them.
This may be a little off topic, but most people I know, who aren't PC gamers, usually spend around 500 on a computer. So with this in mind why not spend the extra you would on a console to have a decent gaming rig? Not only that, but you can get games dirt cheap on PC from steam if you want to wait on the sales. So in the end it might actually be cheaper to game on a PC in the long run even though the initial cost is higher. Which would let you get better hardware if you happen to be one of those people who must have everything on max settings. Just a thought.
I have a Radeon HD and truthfully I haven't played a game that bogs it down yet. However we do need to take into account that a lot of games are built to console standards so that is probably why. Also the graphics for the Xbox One and PS4 do not impress me very much. They are only marginally better than the previous generation.
Well your the one being the troll I've been polite and was willing to admit I may have misunderstood one of your claims. So with that said the conversation is over now.
Well I have put about 300k on cars before. Also settle down, all I did was point out some facts to show you what I was claiming in fact did have truth to it.
Okay now you are just getting butt hurt and trolling. You can read the previous posts you made and see what I am referring too. I will admit that it is possible I may have misunderstood your claim, but as far as I can tell you made it sound like you were claiming older vehicles were not capable of going beyond 100k. Also you can Google everything I said unless you want me to do that for you.
Also if you had a bug for 20 years you likely just contradicted your 100k claim. If you drove it at least 10k miles a year (which is below the average a person drives in a year) you would have hit 200k easily.
I did misread the other comment to by the way. At first I thought they were talking about routine maintenance. Obviously you need that done on a regular basis.
Older cars were perfectly capable of hitting 100k just like newer vehicles. Also production for the original bug started in 1938 and lasted until 2003 cause it was so reliable and as a result wildly popular. Same thing for the C and K series trucks Chevy made. They were their longest running truck line and went from 73 to 87 and are still driven today and are very common. The bug is also still very common as well and the majority of the ones being driven are decades old now.
That is true, but that does not automatically mean that other vehicles of that era were no good. The fact that a vehicle like that which was first made in 1938 was in production so long and is still driven today is pretty remarkable. That alone is a testament to how good a vehicle that old really is. Also there are some other good example such as the C and K series trucks Chevy made. Now I am not saying that all of the old vehicles were great. However I still feel they were better since there are those that have stood the test of time due to their popularity. Also I seriously doubt in the future we will see vehicles that are thirty to fifty years old or so still being driven in such numbers that are new today like the old Beetle, C, and K vehicles are. That right there says to me that those cars and trucks must really be something
That stuff wasn't that hard. Yeah you had to do it from time to time, but it doesn't take anytime at all to do. Also I have never thrown the timing off on a vehicle by touching to rotor accidentally. Besides I have even changed those things and still didn't have issues with timing.
So very true. I hate it when fan boys are like "OM MY CHEVY IS SO AMERICAN WHY WOULDNT YOU BUY A CHEVY" or whatever so called American car it is that they buy. It really annoys me and I am happy to buy a Japanese car since the models they make here are, like you said, more American than the so called American ones.
Older cars were actually much more reliable then the new ones we have out today since they were far simpler in design. The only issue with them though is that they were all gas guzzlers. Average mileage back in the day for a lot of vehicles was about 12 mpg.

I never said the law actually worked.
News stations use to be required by law to state just the facts and give both sides of the story if I remember right.
This is true, I usually wait for stuff to go one sale or buy it used so that way I don't have to play full price. There aren't hardly any games these days worth the $60 price tag they put on them.
Well I am sure there are special cases, however for the average user it isn't really needed.
He said no pratical limit. No one in their right mind would use 127 controllers.

My thoughts exactly well said.

I figured I could give you another good example with the Volvo.
The record for most miles on a car is held by a 1966 Volvo it has 3 million miles.

Yeah that is how any vehicle is going to be. Also ,as I am sure you know, maintenance is something you have to do with any vehicle.
That stuff wasn't that hard. Yeah you had to do it from time to time, but it doesn't take anytime at all to do. Also I have never thrown the timing off on a vehicle by touching to rotor accidentally. Besides I have even changed those things and still didn't have issues with timing.

Correction on that date it was actually 2003.
You are not going to hit 100k without maintenance. Also my dad had an 78 K10 that lasted him an eternity.
Well the old bugs are a pretty good example. They were actually made up until 2012 since they were such good vehicles.
Older cars were actually much more reliable then the new ones we have out today since they were far simpler in design. The only issue with them though is that they were all gas guzzlers. Average mileage back in the day for a lot of vehicles was about 12 mpg.
No way you actually got modded up for that comment? Well done, wish I could have been one of those people to give you points.
