I love my friends.
So one of my friends suggested we get Left4Dead to play. My friends looked it up on Valve and found a four-pack. It was $150 for a 4-pack. Pretty good, we thought. That comes to about ~$37.50. However, the catch was that it was in USD. Since the value of the Canadian dollar astronomically fell from "par", this translates to about an extra ~$10 CAD more per person, making it about $47 CAD per person. Since my friend bought the 4-pack, it was expected that those who wanted to be in the pack had to pay up.
I got the game today.
It was amazing. Curiosity awakens me to compare the prices from the one we bought from Valve and my national electronics retail store (Best Buy's Canadian subsidary to you Americans), and it ended up being $30 CAN, which equates to approximately $25 USD. Using basic arithmetic, Valve is enjoying one of our $50 bills.
Also, my friends teamkilled my other friend and I after we reached one of the spawning point AND RESCUED THEM.
Go figure.
Oh, and our national state media's streaming news website is not working at all at the moment.
GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTT DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
