OT: 64th Obsequious Banter Thread: Patrick and Provorov Before They Were Cool

get a house early kids. It should pay off long term. Get a roomate to help pay the mortgage for as many years as possible.

My last payment is in Dec....25 year mortgage but paid off in 18.

48 years old, no car payment, no mortgage months away...looking forward to the extra disposable income!

Great news man. That's awesome.

@Amorgus @flyersphan20 thanks for the review fellas. I was kind of thinking it would be good for few weeks then die off. I honestly think I’m going to wait and get the new battlefield. It looks like they are going to go back to the BF3 type of gameplay with WW2 content. The latest BF sucked so hopefully it’s not that bad.

Shooters have been hard to come by anymore. I hate fortnite and it’s cartoon bullshit. I like PUBG’s style but not it’s shit lag and graphics.

How odd is it that I am 46 years old, own a house, car, run my own business, but DON'T own a cell phone?

Smart cell phones are a pain in the ass. What kinda of business you in tripod?

Congrats! I’ll be buying shortly, so hopefully I have the same term and age as you. Now you get to buy more toys and travel travel travel!!!

The Haunting of Hill House. Watch it, fam

Is it really that good? I wanna start watching this.

 

[Amorgus]

MW3 is probably my favorite COD, and I haven't liked a COD since BO2. Its not a bad game, similar to BO3, but its not memorable IMO. Blackout is very slow, which I think is a problem for me. The map isn't great either, theres so much open space and not much cover and it takes a while to get from place to place without a vehicle. The time to kill is also a problem, as you have absolutely no chance if someone behind you gets first shot. Still think Fortnite is a lot better for BR. Gameplay for me is pretty good. Weapon balancing is decent however AR's at the moment are a little OP. Should be fixable unlike WWII which couldn't figure out weapon balancing.

My main gripe with the game is the maps. They're overall solid, but not memorable IMO. There's no really good map. Hacienda maybe, but its not great. The best maps are the three they brought from BO1.

It feels like those original maps are the only ones that exist because that's all I ever play. I was ecstatic they finally brought back Firing Range but I'm sick of playing Summit and Slums over and over and over again. I legit thought there was only two new maps and the rest were old ones for the first few days.

And at least in Blackout there's like three times the vehicles lying around the map to move across the empty spaces. The one thing I really wish carried over from Fortnite is a simple one: the glowing indicator on the ground when someone marks a spot on the map. I want to be able to go exactly where it's marked, particularly if it's in an area I'm unfamiliar with. In Blackout I only have the compass to go by and if I pass over the spot it's going to spin around and confuse the hell out of me.

It's definitely the smoothest CoD yet. I loved damn near everything about Black Ops 3 except for the boost jumping and wall running crap and it's back to boots on the ground. They carried over the Specialist system and the more realistic Specialists. Unfortuately I loved the unrealistic specialists like the Spectre so I have to readjust. One guy can release a goddamned pit bull that's waaaay OP so he's good for struggling idiots like me but it takes most of the map to charge up it's usage and in the meantime I haven't mastered the guy's trip mines yet. Every time I try to set a trap I get mowed down and wish I had the cluster grenade from another class.

I literally didn’t ingest anything you just said besides the smoothness part lol... I haven’t played any of the newer cod’s since Ghosts. I hated the wall running jet pack stuff but if feet are on the ground... maybe just MAYBE I can give it a chance.

I violently disagree that BF1 sucked.

Did you try living that Martini-Henry life?

None will ever be better than BC2

Nah probably didn’t get that far. Saying violently disagree kind of scared me.

I just didn’t think it had the feel to normal BF games. I played it for a few months with friends before I found it repetitive. I am a huge fan of sniping on all BF games, though. The most realistic as it gets.

I have been playing Heist a lot. Really like the mode because its like CSGO which I really enjoy.

This week's South Park is an instant classic. The Spin Doctors bit killed me.

Smart cell phones are a pain in the ass. What kinda of business you in tripod?

I sell mostly sports apparel! Mostly hats, but also CFL tees, hoodies, hats, toques, scarves, mitts, etc... Then also cell phone chargers/cables, sunglasses, readers, slingshots, toques, straw hats, etc...

Hats are my main business. NHL, NFL, CFL, MLB, Native Pride, Hunting, then also sell brand named hats like Nike, Oakley, Fox, Hurley, etc... But will sell other things if I can double my money! Like the fidget spinner craze. That came and went real quick but got in on that while it lasted. Always looking for new products to sell!

I won't get rich off it but I make more than a "real job" working for someone else. And I have way more time off, flexibility, and overall quality of life. The last 2 years doing this has been great. And as you can tell, I STILL spend lots of the day on HF! If this closed down, I would likely make more money because I would work more!

Yeah we do want to travel more. Have done the Caribbean on a cruise, and then Mexico multiple times, Cuba, Dominican, and been to Vegas but we want to see more of the world for sure.

I am not into toys. I honestly am not materialistic. I would never spend crazy money a car for example. I drive a Santa Fe and that was a step up from me from a Sunfire. That's all I need. I would rather save the money and travel for sure....with a Flyers home game as a must do bucket list. But I think I will wait until Hak is gone!

Do we get a 20% discount as fellow HF Flyers members?

I 100 % would give guys deals.

But I don't ship to the States and I actually sell to stores, not individuals. Well I guess I do sell to friends and family and for sure give them deals. I only have 2 Flyers hats in stock which is not much selection for any Canadian Flyers fan. Hate to say it, but Toronto and Montreal rule the market.

Do you have lots of flyers and Denver broncos hats and what about Flyers and Broncos hoodies in stock? I'll buy a ton of you.

This is why I could never run a business. I wouldn't let Penguins or Oilers hats inside my house. I wouldn't even touch them. I would give them the finger, however. I do that a lot, give inanimate objects the finger. I might have some mental problems.

Yeah, much better giving the finger to the living!
