Choices

**Veho Nex** · 06-28-2009, 22:01

After this summer is over I'm going to choose one of these two options, but since I am horribly indecisive I am going to leave it up to you guys.

Option A is go to Europe for two or three weeks touring the countries and what not.

Option B is building my dream computer with a grand cost of about 2800$

See Europe mate.

bah. with a grand computer you can tour them virtually. and have many more hours of joy with gaming and the like.
plus, with the economy, the trip will cost you a lot. at least that what i hear on all those financial talk shows.

EDIT: now that i read that this is a one in a lifetime chance, ill say to to Europe. if you only have the chance once, take it.

go to Europe; you'll have other chances to build your dream computer

Go to Europe, if you're around the late school/early uni age like me, PC games will lose their charm.

I never thought I would say that, but these recent months I am just getting sick of PC games... I play some EU3 to fill the time but if you can you would be better going out and see the world.

Screw the computer. Get out see the world, live life in the real physical world.

The computer may keep you going longer but i haven't got many paticularly intresting storys to tell from my years spent playing computer games, the amount of story's i have just from a week in Spain is far better...

When i look back on life as an old man, shogun multiplayer may come to mind, Tibes mp may come to mind... some fine sqauds i built on Football Manager may spring up (actually that last one seems even sadder than the first two, i hope not) but my memory of a week in spain will be what i remember with a smile on my face...

This. Technology can get outdated and replaced, a trip to Europe might be once in a life-time. Those memories will never get old.

You're still studying, right? Now you have the time to make a long trip; once you start to work, you'll have plenty of money but less free time, buy expensive PC's then, travel now.

Pretty much my thoughts. Computers are one of those things that become a lot more accessible as you get older and earn more, whereas traveling is much easier to do when you are young.

On a serious note, I agree with the travel idea. And I'm a full blown nerd.

I plan on going on a trip to europe and america, meeting all the Orgahs I can!

Pretty conclusive results. Go to Europe, it's a much better use of money and you'll regret not going if you never get another chance.

Definitely computer. Despite travelling to more than 40 countries of this world, I never saw that much use for it. Especially the landmarks. I mean, for me, seeing a photo of it is no different from seeing it in RL. A dream computer, now, is definitely worth it

. It will keep on giving back (until it becomes completely obsolete in 4-5 years

- without upgrades). Europe is great "cultural experience" but I see little tangible use in that trip.

however, have you ever been outside US, Veho Nex? Because I am simply sick of some Americans who have never been outside of US and act is if US is the only... You know what I am speaking of... Such as the hypothesis of American exceptionalism... Their cultural ignorance, ignorance of the fact that other ways of doing things exist is exasperating. No sport in living with those people.
