£77.29 GBP for in-app purchase in Asphalt 8. Wow! Has anyone here paid that much for a freemium game?

That's almost $120 USD, just for a game!!!

I've never paid 1¢ into any freemium games, and never will...



Neither will I actually, not really impressed with Gameloft anyway. I've been playing the Windows version of Asphalt 8, which is the regular one, not pirated or anything, installed from the Win 10 app store. Want to play the Android version in this country, you have to use the special PRC edition...downloaded from Gameloft's own website..

Then that's as far as it gets....when trying to install it.

The ones growing in circles used to be called "fairy circles". The little sprites used to call meetings and sit on them according to folklore. Toadstools was often used as well. This day and age probably not PC.

We have the Ink Cap that looks like a diseased private member(gets grosser as it ages), some that resemble pine cones and others that look like biscuits in the grass.
 
I got a call that I'm finally getting my deductible back, from getting rear-ended 3 months ago. I filed the insurance claim 2 months ago, & got my car fixed just under 2 months ago - so it took roughly 2 months & dealing with 3 insurance companies. I'll be ecstatic when I actually have the check in my hot little hands!
 
"Electric Pinao" hmmm. Maybe I should contact the dev in Beijing about that?

BTW I bought a new phone yesterday, an Oppo R7 Plus, so just been installing my favourite apps.


Got a little bit further with Asphalt 8 from Gameloft (China) Ltd. on the new phone, 3 minutes of that, then it aborts with "download failed".

Muahahahahaha!!!
 
I was wondering if anyone would resurrect the Furby. They got banned in certain areas where they could record conversations. I think they are coming back.

BTW- I think there was a Barbie that recorded and conversed. Parents were in an uproar.

Get one and make it look like a black Vulture.
 
Nobody at NASA, but if you're in the audience and you don't like Sean Bean's character in the film, you aren't human.
 
I haven't seen the movie, but I thought the book was overrated and Matt Damon is totally miscast.
I mean, the book was somewhat entertaining, but there wasn't really any sense of tension because I never felt that it would end any way other than the way it did.
 
So basically The Martian is a similar story to The Red Planet or Mission to Mars movies, both made around 2000. Is it worth seeing in the cinema dubbed into Mandarin, or wait for to become available online?

Since i got my new number in August, I've been getting tons of calls and texts intended for the last person who had it.

So far I've been able to ascertain that he is a popular kid in high school and speaks spanish. I do find the little things that create drama for these kids to be quite hilarious. I hope I was never this stupid as a kid.

Part of me is tempted to give them bad advice.
