Impossible to use a Credit card online.

OK, so I'm trying to download Psychonauts on Steam. Cuz it's you know, Psychonauts. One of the best games of the past generation of consoles. ANywho, I say trying, because I CAN'T! Everytime I input my billing infornmation, it gets turned down. See, while I may LIVE in Korera, my BILLING address is still in Houston! SOOO, It always gets kicked back. Worst part? It could ALL be sorted out in a 5 minute phone call, BUT, either they don't HAVE a phoine number, or it's 2 in the morning in the states, so no ones working...





And that's my rant. Thank you for letting me vent.

Have you tried to get one of your buddies from the states order it for you while it's 1am in Korea? ^_^

"Pay you back later" type of thing?

Torrent

Hmm, what do you type in? I've never purchased a game on steam so I don't know how to help. I might be able to anyway. I usually always buy the cds. (Collector junkie here)

And since we are talking about Steam here and the games on there, I find out I think I'm addicted to Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 2. Such a fun game and the only reason I have Steam right now.

What do we learn from this?

Don't join the military

The only reason I have Steam is because they were giving out Portal for free there. ^_^

Hmm. Let's think. In 7 years, the army has:
Sent me to Iraq twice
Gotten me blown up three times
Shot at four times
Made me miss four of the best concerts ever
And now prevents me from buying one of my favorite games.

Ash may have a point...

But you do have some upsides -

the plus of life long access to government run socialized healthcare. the VA and Tri Care Military Medical.

Free college educationand training.. if you signed up for for it, etc.

and there are probably other things.. but not much.. haha.

Oh there's plenty more! The best part will be 40 years from now. You can wear a black and yellow farmer hat and pins proclaiming your veteran status. You can ooh and ahh people with your "Back in 2010" stories, and use those said stories to:

- cut in line at McDonalds
- rent free books at the library
- get out of speeding tickets
- make anyone's conversation invalid.
- get dates with women 30 years younger than you

....so, as you can see. Hella perks!!!

And maybe ten years from now.. get to have a large legal battle with US Government over some disorder you get from some experimental vaccine or drug they shot you up with...


but let's hope that only happened in the past and doesn't happen any more.

....but see, even 30 years after that, he could tell war stories and it would make the disorder invalid.

Put that in your cereal and poop in it.

Socialized healthcare for the military is great (and I do love it), but it wouldnt work for a country as large as ours as a whole. You are talking about using resources to care for a community that is only 1% of the population, and its an investment that pays dividends for our nations interest (whether you agree with that interest is moot). But that system for the entire population is unsustainable.

To be honest, I do like my socialized healthcare because it's great quality, but the military system of healthcare can't be applied to the civilian sector (Be honest Ash, you know this). I think the way Israelis do their universal healthcare is great though. Defo not the clunker of a system like England's or Canada's.
