Help me convert this australian bro into communis- anti-cod - General

Sup facepunch! :downs: So today i met this guy (strictly speaking my parent forced me to meet him), we are about the same age too (months difference). I was getting out of the shower when my parents called, (they went out for a walk) and told me to come down. My dad told me to meet someone. I thought "What's so special about this dude?" 1 minute later i got to the ground floor (i live in an apartment) and i went to the gate which they told me to go to. I see a boy with a junk sale laid out (keep in mind sales are extremely uncommon in HK). "this is not the boy, right?" It was. My parents urged me on. We introduced ourselves. My parents then left me with him. He goes to a school similar to mine. I found out he was Australian with a weird conversation, but he was pretty cool to talk to. [B][U]{{{Now, this won't matter to you guys, so skip this paragraph if you want }}}[/U][/B] So basically, he has been given two choices. 1, goto Cambodia on his school trip or 2, get a new laptop. He has chosen to goto Cambodia, so he's raising money himself until he gets enough to get a laptop. Here's the horror. a [B][I]MAC[/I][/B]. Well of course, i explained all the cons of Macs, and he was pretty cool about it. He took it in, but still wanted to get it, because of it's simplicity and all the pre-installed programs. He also made clear he was too lazy to get them himself, so i respected his decision. [B][U]{{{End of extra info}}}[/U][/B] While we were talking, he brought up the subject of video games. He has an xbox, and plays Halo and CoD. I didn't mind, but thought it would be pretty awesome to convert him to the facepunch ideology (oh who the fuck am i kidding this is not the cold war) But yeah, so Facepunch how do i make him try out the better games? I'm already planning to introduce him into tf2, which is free now. Btw, if enough bropunchers want to help him out, i could post my paypal, but for now, not yet. He also has a Mac desktop with windows installed. So thanks for reading, and possibly helping him out. I would very much rather you guys don't start bashing me for "not letting him be!!!" but i want to let him have a taste of decent games. Of course, you can tell me to fuck off too.

So, why not befriend him and let him use your PC? Hey, he might be casual and not like the games you like, so it'd be terrible having him waste money.

How old are you guys?

Let him play the games he wants. Also your parents think you are gay.

Your parents introduced you to him. What? Are you one of those little shut-ins whose parents worry about so much to the extent that they find friends for them?

"My parents forced me to meet with a kid who uses a different operating system than I do. Please, help me facepunch!"

Aww a play-date. How cute :smile:

Oh, not another poor "He is totally not like me but please help me make him like me" soul.

:v Okay, so i'm gay, i'm a horrible person, i'm apparently a shut in, and is dumb. thanks fp! :D

uuurgh these threads deeply horrify me [quote] Here's the horror. a MAC.[/quote] Let him buy whatever the fuck he wants, may it be CoD, a Mac, An xbox, WHATEVER, stop asking facepunch to help you to 'convert' them like it's some sort of religion! So what if you have different opinions on gaming? Why should you give a flying fuck?

[QUOTE=Shounic;30987226]:v Okay, so i'm gay, i'm a horrible person, i'm apparently a shut in, and is dumb. thanks fp! :D[/QUOTE] So you wanted to fuck him ?

[QUOTE=Shounic;30987226]:v Okay, so i'm gay, i'm a horrible person, i'm apparently a shut in, and is dumb. thanks fp! :D[/QUOTE]Cheer up, I'm sure people will share your opinions some day. Bonus if they hate the same things.

Bleh Cambodia...I heard stories from my uncle that the women there will try to marry you if you not from there in order to get money. I also heard about the corruption that goes on where people kill each other out of jealousy

Okay sorry for wasting your time guys, just thought it wasn't such a bad idea to ask for a bit of help. Anyways, i'm sorry if i sounded like i was forcing my opinions on him, i just wanted to let him have the decent opportunity to change his mind before he spends it :V He's still going to get a mac anyways.

You've been on Facepunch for over a year (and probably lurked long before that), you have over 1,500 posts, but why do you seem like such a fucking idiot, Shounic? Let him like what he likes, you should also use proper grammar and of course: How old are you?

He has dignity. I wouldn't let some guy tell me what to buy right after I met him.

Why does this thread feel like it was ripped right out of /b/

I have lurked but maybe it's just i didn't bother proof-reading my shit and how dumb it might sound. i'll keep that in mind. Sorry if it feels like i'm an idiot, i word my posts better next time :P and i'm 14. Is that bad?

[QUOTE=Contag;30987330]The difference to the US is that in the US women marry anyone with money, not just outsiders?[/QUOTE] I suppose another reason is to move to U.S in hopes of a better life. My uncle married a girl he met in Cambodia and that didn't turn out so well. His wife never cleaned, cooked or try to find a job. All she did was spend his money on expensive clothes and expected him to pay for everything.

Was just curious about your age because your post indicated a young age, glad to see you're honest.
