Erm... No. Not sure why you get that. I posted exactly what I meant in the first place.

It's just there's a fair few things competing for my dollar right now, and I've not been keeping up on the boards so I figured I'd ask in case I'd missed some cool stuff.

As for the snarky replies... Stick it you useless sods. People saying about this board in the past are right. Been a member here under various names since before OOTP4, with a few breaks. (Hence the new names. ISP changes meant I lost email address. All hail Gmail!)

What's killing me here is food prices. Bread had doubled in price in the last 12 months for example. My food budget for my family has pretty much doubled across the board. And of course incoming has stayed the same. Well actually, if you take into account my rent increase, my money to live on has actually DROPPED. So entertainment dollars are a much more precious commodity, hence this thread.

I'm 6'8" and clean shaven. And I'm quite capable of masturbating myself thanks. Or better still getting my wife to do it, and she's very good at it.

The attitude of a lot of people in here has convinced me not too support the game. Ever again actually. You're largely a bunch of rude, spiteful, miserable, arrogant, pompous blowhards. You trade on the Internet's most prevalent currency, snark, and think yourselves so much better than everyone else and rather than advocating for the game you purport to love, you make people disgusted with the sort of people who play it. Kudos.

I posted this to get some genuine opinion and discussion. Should have known it'd be ruined by the many retards on this board.

Markus has made probably $500 or so off me over the years. He can thank you for losing any further custom of mine.
