My biggest problem with it is that all of my friends (the ones that do PC gaming) use steam. Also the lack of good sales and not having all of my games in one place, among other things.

Please elaborate on why you believe this (I'm genuinely curious).

Hey relax NV, you honestly think I would do that when I'm in the works shutting down my interest for games.
I was only kidding, no way in hell I'll do any upgrades again on that rig. It's completely good for Crysis 3 with all eye candy on and after that we'll see what happens.
My money spending days on computer parts is over and it ended with that XFX 7950 card and newer RAM I bought a couple of weeks ago.

Your Prime Minister wants UK out of EU (he recently promised a poll about this) so if such an union was to be done it would probably be without you
A referendum was proposed because its something the UK government likes to do when a lot of people who only know part of what's going on disagree. I'm pretty sure that Mr Cameron wants the vote to be marginally in staying-in-the-EU's favour.
The issue with the French is that their government give into public protests far too easily. If you give into every protest, you'll end up with taxes falling and public services rising, which causes national debt. Also, many EU rulings get ignored by the French. These two factors mean that unless decisions are in the favour of the French, they won't be universally followed, which will obviously cause problems.
Finally, always assume that the British Prime Minister speaks for no-one. It's almost always the consensus after an election that the person who was chosen was not the best choice. This may be in part because the English love to complain about things.

As your people would say: Bollocks
Having been to England a few times I can say with total certainty that the English complain a lot less on average than Americans do (and are generally much nicer, though still not as nice as Canadians, jesus you can't make those people mad).
When foreigners are around, and the location is the UK, then stiff upper lip overrides complaints.
Damn, and I was really getting to like you folks. Oh well, guess I'll try Germany then.

Maybe not that far.....you are both Germanic descendants though.
By that logic the French should join us too (among other countries)

I'm all for that, sadly a majority of my countrymen has a different opinion on the matter. For example Europe-wide, binding legislation would be so much more effective, especially against big corporations. What does [insert big bad corporation] care if Austria tells them to think of the environment, they'll just move somewhere else. Even better, they just threaten to move somewhere else, the austrian government gets scared and doesn't pass the legislation.

It's the same way around here (in Austria, but in that respect I think Germany and Austria are exactly the same)
