Where\'d you learn to do math???

Your equation should go like this...

EThugg + 4 Consoles + Every Good Game = No Way To Lose x Very Poor + Penniless :D

I feel you on that(although some of our financially challenged comrades may not).

BTW, Nice pic. I haven\'t seen ghost rider for a while. As a matter of fact there was a time in grammer school that when people heard that they thought of the PBS show "Ghost Writer" myself included. Oh well. Back to realm of boredom I go.

Sigh.  It must be nice to have lots of money, and apparantly oodles of free time.  Lemme guess... student living with your parents still?  Or maybe single bachelor, no GF, goes out maybe once a week??  Ahh, well.  I sure wish I had that kind of money anyways.  

Also, what 4 consoles are you talkin\' about... I mean, I have more than 10, but only the PS2 is "new", my n64 is passe, and everything else is even older.  Do you mean you will have a Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox/GC??

What kind of money do you all think I have? It\'s not that expensive if you save for them....

And I don\'t think you guys should be making assumptions about my lifestyle/free time. I could conversely say if you have so little free time, you must be wasting it like a moron on something stupid. But I would never say that. ;)

Just because someone has all the consoles does not menat they have no life. It is the same as having one console except you get to choose which console to play. Its not like we sit down and play all of them in succession. :rolleyes: Think about it for a second and it will all make sense.

BTW, Just because you are struggling to make ends meet does not mean everyone else is. Some of us know how to budget our money and put our extras to good use.

I am goin\' to get all the consoles on their subjective release days, but I am in no way "rich". Far from it. I just manage my money, save it and what not. Doesn\'t mean I don\'t have a life either, as 5 out of 7 days of the week, I am usually out at the movies or something.

Post by: ddaryl on April 30, 2001, 05:25:54 PM
I will probably only get 2 consoles

and upgrade my PC

I have too many other things I want to do in my life

For starters next week I putting $38,000 down payment on my house. SO I won\'t be having lots of mad cash for the next year

then I will just have a ton of stuff to do there, not to mention all my other hobbies

I was thinking the same thing. None of the houses/cottages I\'ve owned ever cost that much down....

I live in the state of Washington, about 1 hour North of Seattle

The Average price of a decent home is  $150,00 - $200,000.


The home I bought is $169,000

For me to have an affordable mortgage payment, and so I don\'t have to pay an extra $65 a month in mortgage  insurance my downpayment must be 20% of the totlal cost

It works out to $33,800  for a down payment

then there are closing costs, which make up the final $5000.

My mortgage payment will be $1,126.30 a month for 30 years


BUT I am getting 1 acre of land, a 4 bedroom house with 2 car garage, a greenhouse (small) and landscaping.

The house was originally built in 1905 but has updated extensively throughout the years

In all honesty you can\'t get half of what I\'m getting for the same price. I looked for a year and a half before this place came to me, and there were about 5 people behind us hoping to bump us out


I\'ll post pictures on the offtopic board when I\'m settled  in hopefully by the end of this month



Out of curiosity what countries are you 2 from Wetall and Ethugg. Obviously you seemed shocked by what I said and believe it or not this is pretty close to average in the Western US.

A pretty good guess would be USA. In fact I\'m sure of it. :)

I used to live in Buffal NY and although houses are cheaper the taxes are terrible

My house has 5 x\'s the property of my parents house and my taxes are 60% of theirs

Plus I don\'t have to pay state income taxes in Washington


So why the hell we\'re you surprised when I mentioned my down payment amount. Thats pretty standard these day in most of the US.

Nicely put!

I agree.

Anyway what would be wrong sitting in all day playing games and never living the house. :D Nothing I think, esp here where the weather is 24/7 bad.

That\'s exactly how I feel. More variety, more choices. When I get sick of playing my PS2, my DC gets some attention, and vice-versa.

no offense Ethugg,but it\'s illogical for all consoles to win by your topic "The winner of the console wars revealed". it is a singular representation,therefore only one can win :D :p at least i\'m not afraid to admit PS2 will win,but i\'m biased so i don\'t give a crap :laughing:

The singular is me. I\'m the winner, weren\'t you paying attention? :p

ok,saying it was just you is ok,but quoting your original answer "EThugg+all 4 cosoles" (we all know you meant consoles,not cosoles..haha...a naughty word for console players...you cosole you!! :D ) is not singular (i\'m picky ain\'t i :) ),so therefore illogical...ahhh,but who cares,just wanted to point out how good a P.I. work i do..hehee :p

Post by: EThugg on May 07, 2001, 07:27:55 PM
I said the winner isssssss ME! It\'s rather simple...... \'=no way to lose\' referring to me being unable to lose, not the consoles. It is still singular in terms of the \'winner\'.

Yes, I guess I did misspell console.... sue me. My equation still adds up. :p
