fuck you, noob kid asshole
"people shouldn't have to buy more hardware if it states on the box that their computer can run the game"
If you can't make it work, you don't know a thing about computers, I have run the game with a fx5700 card on my girlfriend's pc, and it works. So you are a fuckin pro, your knowledge is way beyond official EA testers, hahaha, if the card is listed to work with the game, it works, check the ram, the processor, or your brain, motherfucker.
"others can't afford it or have to use their money for more important things"
If you can afford a pc, a broadband, internet access, and the game itself, you can afford a decent card. If you really can't, then make an effort, stay home a couple of weeks instead of having beers and smoke crack.
"I'm in high school and don't have time for a job"
OOOOOhhh too bad, so sad, I'm gonna cry.....Yeah, I can imagine, you hang around with friends instead of studying or doing anything constructive. If you really want to work, you can do it, Just do it. You can make it if you try, try just a little bit harder ROFL :p
How do you think Howard Hugues or Rotschild started? Obviously you are not as clever.
Please don't reply I'm not gonna answer. You are wrong, I am right, face it or die.
The time you spend playing or reading the forums you could help your neighbours with their gardens for a couple of bucks. In no time you have a decent card again, moron!
