I can't see why me living in the UK puts any difference on whether or not you get issued with a standard debit card?
If you've only got a cash card, then that explains things. I've been using a debit card to buy stuff online since I was about 13, though...
Or do Belgian banks not issue Solo/Electron cards?

Here in the states if I get a checking account I can get a debit card, and I'm sure I could possibly get a credit card with out being 18 here also. :D But what can I say I the special one... :lol:

And I won't be getting that computer for a while because of the hurricane.

Particularly nice screenshots that I took whilst playing .kkrieger (which I finally beat, after figuring out a way to get unstuck if I got stuck to stuff): 1 2 3

Would be a good joke, if only it was one. Maybe something like this could work: "did you know there's a FPS that's 64kB big? Haha, gotcha, but there's one that's 96kB!" :P

Prove what? The 96kB game? Download it, run it and you'll have proof.

My brother was very lucky.

His GFX card died and he could rebuy a card for free for the same price he bought his old GFX card. Since his card was top of the line 1 year ago he can now also get a top of the line card.

He also entered a contest held by Remedy (Death Rally, Max Payne, Alan Wake) and he won every game for every console that they have made. That's only 8 games, since Remedy hasn't made much games, but it's still cool.

Kinda gives away what top-of-the-line GFX cards really cost...
I won an Audigy 2 ZS last winter and know how your brother must have felt. Congrats :)

I recorded a video of .kkrieger in action for those of you who can't play it, check it out. (sorry, fraps only does 640x480 and I was playing in 1024x768..)

I really hate recommending kkreiger to people on IRC. Everyone thinks it is a virus ... i suppose that could be a compliment :).
