Johnny. "MUM, can I use your credit card to buy some maps for Crysis2 please?"
Mum. " What? I just bought you the limited edition? Didn't it have maps with it?"
Johnny." Yes, but these are new ones."
Mum." I heard you last night yelling at the screen your rank or something was reset again and the new $2500 computer you have has some flickering problem when running both graphic cards with the multi screens you saved up for, so you only run 1. Also something about hackers and dropping out problems the other day? Something wrong with our internet?"
Johnny." But mum! If I don't get them I can't play with my friends! Bob is getting them. I have fixed my drop outs by turning off the fire wall and opening the ports in the router. I can live with it until it's fixed"
Mum. " So you want me to spend another $10 on a game which drops out, resets your rank, won't run properly on your computer, having to turn off your fire wall, opening your computer to trojens, viruses and what ever. Will this fix the game?"
Johnny," No, but I want them,please?"
Mum." Hmm, let me have a look,,,,,, right, they want my credit card details,,,,, Hmm,, no PayPal, strange, everybody uses PayPal for online business,,,,,,,,,,Hmmm, site doesn't show it's secure,,,,,,,,what happens to my card detials,,,,,,don't know,Hmmm,,,,don't they realize that kids don't have credit cards. Johnny, when the game is fixed I'll think about it. The problems with that game, I just don't think it's worth it. It's not call of duty or bad company 2 which all your friends play it"
Johnny."But MUM!,,,,,,Well OK, (sigh) I'll wait, your right. The game just make me frustrated after all the write ups about it. The next Battle Field or COD probably will be by then, so can I have the $10 towards them?"
