I’m not even convinced their phone plan would get that much more expensive. Or, I suppose, they get a Nexus 4 that randomly shuts off every few weeks. Worst-case scenario: I bought them a $99 smartphone for Christmas. The idea with the Moto G is that I’ll test it out, see if I like it compared to the Nexus 4, then gift whatever one I don’t like to them. Indeed, they only purchased flip-phones about two years ago, and never set up texting either. It seems rather absurd that in 2015 you have to pay $50 for map updates when I could pull up detailed satellite images (and Street View!) like a goddamn NSA agent from any smartphone. Then my parents were late to Thanksgiving dinner because they got lost due to their TomTom GPS not having been updated in 10 years. I was debating making any decision for a while, and had basically came to the conclusion that I could wait it out. Hmm.Īs far as the smartphone goes, that was strategic impulse buy. Or I could delete Wasteland 2 and Total War: Shogun 2, and maybe actually get around to finishing Pillars of Eternity that adds up to around 60gb. Shit, I technically have both FF14 and Elder Scrolls Online installed. Not only from a game-time perspective, but the 60gb installation is forcing me to look at all the other games I currently have installed on my SSD but never booted up once. The “gold” edition is still around for $22.50, but nothing I have read really indicates that the DLC is worth $7.50.Īctually, everything seems pretty silly having just purchased GTA 5. And even if I did the former, it means not playing the game right away, as I’d want a smoother segue into the DLC rather than an awkward, months-long gap.Īlso punted on Far Cry 4, mostly because I’m miffed that the $15 deal was apparently a pricing error. FFXIII + FFXIII-2 = $9.17 ( Motorola Moto G 2nd Gen smartphone = $99 ( punting on the $19.99 Dying Light because I know that there is a substantial DLC coming early next year (so substantial they’re raising the Season Pass price), which means I should either be buying the game + Season Pass now, or waiting for the GOTY edition to include all the DLC at some indeterminate future time.
#Eso quick node respawn 2015 download
I’m not in a particular mood to babysit this download for eight real-time hours, so I had to look for another solution. After 5-10 cycles of this though, it will stop the download entirely, forcing you to press Retry to get it moving again. For the most part, the GTA 5 launcher will pause and then resume the download no problem. The one “quirk” with this “solution” is that Ultrasurf cycles through various proxy servers at certain intervals, which technically interrupts the download. That was when I found this Youtube video talking about a program called Ultrasurf. Downloaded, launched it, and picked my jaw up off the floor: I mean, seriously, after seeing that speed I started researching to see if I could just download a pirated copy and sign in with a legit account at the end. Any semi-intelligent network engineer who can plan ahead. “It’s after Black Friday and everyone is downloading at the same time, overloading the servers.” You know who doesn’t have this problem? Steam. It’d be one thing if I were trying to download from a small outfit or whatever, but this shit is a clown show. 230 KBs? You’re telling me I have to leave my computer on for three days straight to finish a download? My Steam games download at 1.2 MBs on average. I knew the download was big (60gb), so I started it overnight.
