Keep track of when the next update comes out and buy the shortest sub possible shortly after it does - remember, that you get the CB with all the stuff that was released, ever. Heck, buy it today - you'll get everything that was already released and updated, and you'll either get another update with essentials, or get a refund for the month (so basically you get +1 month free <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />). No update in time beats no CB at all.As to problems with CB - it requires Net Framework or whazzitcalled installed (same stuff GTAIV needs) - what system do you use? Do you have it up to date with everything? There really isn't that much to the CB itself, it's not a complex or demanding program, your computer should do just fine.I once managed to launch the demo on Wine layer on Ubuntu, but then I was so happy with myself that I tinkered with it more and had to nuke whole Wine from the orbit to launch anything, and wasn't able to reproduce the configuration since. It installed on XP with no problems though.CB is fun to play with for me to the state where I keep the demo on hard drive just to tinker around with it, create some characters (ah, the elusive 4th level, what would you bring to me...) and use it to participate in some plot threads regarding 4e adventures... And I don't even play the 4e <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> If I did, I'd certainly buy at least one subscription - the retroactive content access makes it more than worth the buck (and note the discrepancy in worth of goods - 10 bucks would buy here: 100g of really good green tea (that's a lot of friggin tea - you brew green (and white?) three times)/7 great beers (or 14 cheap but good ones)/a bottle of Chianti/a bottle of Carlo Rossi + about 8-portions of bolognese to go with it (if cooked, only a glass of wine and one portion in a restaurant)...).As to meal in the stomach - I feel you, brotha! People often don't realize how small fees can accumulate to monstrous amounts of lost cash. But sometimes we just have to let it go, sometimes the same wine/tea/book costs x2 as regular, but is worth ten times as much. In this case it might be equivalent of one meal (or several in many countries outside of US, actually), but if you start playing with it in Saturday morning, you might find that, suddenly - it's already midnight , and you missed several meals either way. And that's with the demo.If you have enough green tea or exercise to justify the cholesterol - try out my version* of French toasts (definitely not a breakfast recipe):[sblock=recipe]- 2 beaten eggs- add a tablespoon of milk (after you beat the eggs! Otherwise it's hard to mix it together) and mix it. You might want to add salt, or other spices at this point.- dip bread (preferably full grain, definitely not toast-bread) - it makes for ~3 loafs per egg if the bread is dense, set aside and put frying pan on (no need for oil if it's Teflon)- Put the loafs on the pan, and cut several slices of tomato, turn the loafs over, put a lid on pan.- cut enough slices to cover the loafs, turn the loafs over again.- After a while (~1 min?) turn them over yet again, put the tomato and cheese on topside, and put the lid on top again (otherwise the cheese won't melt). Wait only a while - so that the cheese melts but not too long, or it'll give moisture to the loafs. If you catch the right moment they're going to be crispy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/sblock]Voila! 2 eggs, 6 loafs of bread, half of tomato and some cheese will immobilize for an hour even me, and I can take a lot of food in. It's very nutritive, so it's not empty calories, and it's a good excuse to get the DDI sub. Don't overdo it though if you're blood type 0 though.* I actually though it was standard, then I though it was the European version, and finally it seems that the closest variation to this, is the Hungarian Bundáskenyér (fluffy bread), proving yet again that Lengyel, magyar – két jó barát, együtt harcol, s issza borát.</blockquote>
