Sorry can't play, you haven't bought it for me yet

[MasterShrive 2,012]

I am interested, although with school back and footy about to start I'd say I'm unlikely to get in any time soon. I wouldn't mind finding it on sale though.

You missed the part where you now have a better half as well... 

Oh and it probably isn't on the list yet

[MasterShrive 2,012]

No it's not on the list.

 

And that's also a good point you make.

[Decroxx 814]

 

...I'd say I'm unlikely to get in any time soon.

Nope, he got it perfectly right.

[MasterShrive 2,012]

Oh you're a funny one

[Phobos 1,208]

Is the desync fixed?

[bprc 1,441]

Patch doesn't come out until Thursday/Friday. There doesn't seem to be a specific mention of any server lag fixes but who knows?

 

I'll keep you posted. Get your wallet ready

[Dallyfergo 248]

I heard they were working on the server lag issues but they did say is may take some considerable time to fix.

 

I am interested, although with school back

 

There are plenty of life lessons in PUBG that the youth need to know now shrives, I'm sure the children will thank you later when they out run an electrical wall

 

as for the Motorbike w/ sidecar I cant wait to be gunned down in that.

[MasterShrive 2,012]

^Haha! I'll take that advice into consideration.

[bprc 1,441]

Patch should be dropping shortly! Woot.

 

Edit: 5.3GB update. Get downloading!

[Dallyfergo 248]

I'll take that advice into consideration.

 

Maybe bring it up at the next PTA

[MasterShrive 2,012]

Anything Simpsons related will be greatly appreciated around here.

[PistolKnight 554]

Stop watching the Simpsons and get onto this game!

[MasterShrive 2,012]

I'm watchin the OJ docco.

[bprc 1,441]

So Dally is better at parachuting when his game crashes...

 

 

Edit: For clarity. When you leave the game (or it crashes) your character remains in game. We'd set a way point to land on the roof I landed on. Dally's game crashed not long after parachuting from the plane. His character managed to land on the roof without any corrections. Pretty amazing.

bp the gender bender...

 

Don't worry, I would have gone female too. Smaller hit box!

[bprc 1,441]

Haha. Pretty much all my characters are female. If I'm going to be looking at an ass for hours on end I'd rather it looked good

[MasterShrive 2,012]

Haha! Perfect landing!

[Dallyfergo 248]

That was definitely the one. We would've finally won if my game didn't crash.

[MasterShrive 2,012]

Well clearly everything was going your way.

[Jebusohmighty 465]
