how much did you pay for the hardware, man? Singapore's still a relatively expensive place to get a complete, generic system.

 

[BaD_BURN]

All in all, I think about $1600+, US. Don't ask me where I got the money but I assure you I didn't kill anyone or something. :heh: Actually, my cousin helped me out with this one. He works in Singapore and he paid for the phucking shipping and stuff and I gave him some about $2,000 for the computer and shit. I dunno what he did with the $400 but I don't give a damn what he does with the money. I can't believe I have a brand new computer!!!:emb:

that's why it's good to have a job... in my case.. the company gives me $2500 just to buy a new comp every year... ehehe.. cool benefits.. for a $hity job.. ehehe

 

[BaD_BURN]

Well, I'm not employed YET , but I will be a year from now, hopefully. I'm still in college. Anyway, the money I used to buy my comp was game show money anyway.

 

[kairi00]

Damn... I swear the next time I'm getting a new system, I'm gonna plan it around emulators..... i.e. I'm gonna make sure ePSXe will *fly* on the machine.... heh.

ano? nanalo ka sa game show? ehehe kewl!

 

[BaD_BURN]

Yeah, bro, game show money. I could tell you when the show was aired BUT then you'd recognize me. Anyway, I was VERY lucky to have joined WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE.

 

[Shiori]

are you Pinoy? I guess Bad_Burn won on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. anyway, i wonder why you had to go all the way to singapore to get your system. don't we have geforce3 here yet?

 

[Gk1986]

I got really close to being on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire once...(answered the phone questions correctly without any pause, but they found out I was a minor... ) Good job, bad_burn!

 

[BaD_BURN]

I kinda ****ed up the 400,000 pesos question. I was second guessing and when I got the check for 200,000 pesos and Christopher (the host) revealed the correct answer, I was like "FUUUUUUUUUUCK MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!"! That was my guess! Heh. When I got home, my family was like "You dumb shit! You should've answered it!". But then again, 200,000 pesos ain't so bad, right? Come Christmas, I'm thinking of getting a PS2 aaand the X-Box.

 

[Shiori]

damn, i should start calling that hotline ASAP. really, i will.

....what's the question anyway, if you don't mind?

 

[BaD_BURN]

Who was known as the savior of Noli Me Tangere?

The answer was Dr. Maximo-sumthing. That was my guess. Dumb of me not taking any risk. SHIT!!!

Duda ko pag-nakakaanswer ka ng mga science questions, titirahan ka ng Filipiniana question.

 

[Shiori]

can't believe you'd forget that, since you're still in college. i know it's that Dr. Maximo guy, but i also forgot his last name. but i know it's maximo.

anyway, it's a good idea you played it safe. better half-a-mil than a paltry 10 thousand, which hardly buys anything nowadays.

 

[Asz]

Hmmm.... now lets see, how hard do I have to punch you in the face to knock you out long enough so that I will have enough time to steal your GeForce 3?

Man, I really want to buy a new pc, but Brazil is not a good place to buy computer stuff(it's VERY expensive). And I don't have a job, also, so I still depend on my parents money.

Xeven, $2500 every year for a new pc? That's a damn good job. Where do you work?
