    - thanks, socialism -- nm - gerald Aug 15, 10:01
- GB pays subsidies to their top athletes so they don't have to get other jobs. I don't know if Australia does the same -- nm - crash davis Aug 15, 09:59
- GB put a ton of money leading up to the 2012 Games and won a lot of medals, which then meant that more young people were inspired to become athletes, - Roger More Aug 15, 09:55

  - Sorry Stuart, it only matters if Spawn likes you -- nm - crash davis Aug 15, 09:52 1
    - his wife likes me plenty. -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 09:54
- Because I don't know a lot about NFL and football, and have even less interest, so I would be an easy chump to trade with. -- nm - Roger More Aug 15, 09:43 1
  - you will fit right in with them then -- nm - Beaker Aug 15, 09:44
- because I think Spawn is awesome -- nm - crash davis Aug 15, 09:42
- Because I am awesome. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 09:38 4
  - Terrible answer. There are now two spots open in Astronuats, including Spawn's. -- nm - David Aug 15, 09:41 3
    - Just make it so that we do all drafting in a Facebook group. That'll get rid of him -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 09:41 2
      - Officer thinking. -- nm - David Aug 15, 09:42 1

- You'll look just fine. Just make sure the belt matches. - ReluctantCynic Aug 15, 09:43 2
  - This. I wear brown shoes with jeans all the time. Just wear a brown belt. -- nm - sycor Aug 15, 09:52
  - like anyone can see his belt with that overhang! -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 09:46
- why not some Steph Curry Dad Force Ones? -- nm - gerald Aug 15, 09:42
- depends on where. To work in your yard? fine. Out in public? don't wear those at all -- nm - decline Aug 15, 09:36
- I'm wearing dark brown shoes with jeans right now, so... -- nm - spamlet Aug 15, 09:36
- Step one: don't get those shoes. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 15, 09:36 5
  - don't start. I'll cut you :) -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 09:36 4
    - what about something like this? -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 15, 09:39 3
      - how gay do you think I am? :) - oblique Aug 15, 09:41 2
        
        Ah, then I guess that makes sense. I thought you were in an office environment all day, Metroblique. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 15, 09:43 1
        
        I am, basically - oblique Aug 15, 09:44
- I wear socks with my flip flops so my opinion should be ignored -- nm - Beaker Aug 15, 09:35
- um, you'll look fine? -- nm - Andie Aug 15, 09:35 8
  - :) It's been so long wearing this color/shoe that I'm really locked in -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 09:36 7
    - take it as an opportunity/sign from the universe to shake things up a little in the old kilbo shoes closet -- nm - gerald Aug 15, 09:44
    - Check online/ebay. - Spawn Aug 15, 09:38 4
      - I've always ordered them online. They are nowhere to be found other than some seriously sketchy sites -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 09:39 2
        
        Wouldn't a Sketchy site be the perfect place to get Sketchers? -- nm* - Andie Aug 15, 09:39 1
        
        obvie -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 09:40
      - word word word. signed, mary's favorite sandals (out of print since 2009) -- nm - university of amanda jones Aug 15, 09:38
    - jeans work with pretty much all colours. -- nm - Andie Aug 15, 09:37
kilbo, I'm also on my 4th ship -- nm - decline Aug 15, 09:34 26
- I'm trying to hoard units until I can get a decent upgrade for a ship. Decent means at least 1.2M from what I've seen in-game so far. -- nm* - Shaun Aug 15, 09:36 5
  - I've bought 2. The most recent I found on a crash site and repaired. Those crash sites can give you pretty decent ships. The current one has 23 slots -- nm* - decline Aug 15, 09:37 4
    - I was really excited last night when I found my first crash site but the ship was worse than mine -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 09:38 3
      - Same. Boo. -- nm - Shaun Aug 15, 09:39 2
        
        the best ship I've seen so far was almost 9M and had over 30 slots -- nm - decline Aug 15, 09:40 1
        
        Shiny. -- nm - Shaun Aug 15, 09:40
- I'm using the "pre-order" gift ship now. I kinda wish it wasn't in the game because now I feel like if I ditch it I've lost something because you - oblique Aug 15, 09:36 19
  - you can not. I ditched that ship day 1 I think :) -- nm - decline Aug 15, 09:38 18
    - I'm only sitting on about 400k credits because I'm furiously buying all the suit upgrade slots I can find - oblique Aug 15, 09:40 17
      - You'll make credits fast one you reach space stations. -- nm - David Aug 15, 09:42 16
        
        Doing what? -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 09:42 15
        
        Buying/selling from other ships and/or the trading terminal. -- nm - Shaun Aug 15, 09:43 11
        
        I have trading terminals on planet. Found quite a few -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 09:44 10
        
        Space stations can have like 8-9 additional ships landed to trade with. -- nm - Shaun Aug 15, 09:45 9
        
        It might be different since I'm on a "Gek" planet, but I have two "trade stations" very close to each other. Ships come and go all the time - oblique Aug 15, 09:47 8
        
        Fair enough. Space station terminals and the ship pilots can have different selling/buying prices, so it's the faster way to make units. - Shaun Aug 15, 09:51 2
        
        I might think different when I really need the money :) -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 09:51 1
        
        Pretty much how I thought too. 'Hey I think I'd like a better ship. Time to optimize my time earning units for a bit.' -- nm - Shaun Aug 15, 09:52
        
        Yeah, this thread is making the game sound *awesome*. - Spawn Aug 15, 09:50 4
        
        Don't be bitter because you can't play it. - Shaun Aug 15, 09:51 3
        
        It is coming to X-Box, once all the bugs are worked out. - Spawn Aug 15, 09:56 2
        
        I am all about the helmet and chestpieces, I don't care about the guns at this point. -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 10:03
        
        Pure speculation, although likely but with no timetable at all. - Shaun Aug 15, 09:59
        
        prostitution -- nm - Beaker Aug 15, 09:43
        
        Hooking. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 09:43 1
        
        I protest as the time stamp is exactly the same :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 15, 09:43
