I have this friend, that wants to play Fallout NV.

So I gifted him the ultimate edition in steam, it was 3eur or something on summer sale

He installed it on his mac, but for some reason he played 10min and stopped

He wants to play it on console, on his big ass TV. I told him to stream the video from the mac to the TV and play with controller - he said he doesn't want to bother doing it.

his mac is somewhat high-end and I told him it will be running 60fps on max details, while it will be running 30fps on medium on console - he said it doesn't matter

Now he wants me to burn him an OEM Fallout NV DVD for XBOX360. I told him it doesn't have patches nor DLC, and it will be a pain to install them on the console, just to play it on steam.

and he told me he doesn't CARE, he wants to play it even vanilla on console Facepalm

Can't you just hook up your TV to your Mac and use a wireless Xbox controller? That seems to be the easiest solution to me. Streaming isn't very pretty and has its problems so I wouldn't go for that either.

But yeah, I know people like that - the moment something requires more than minimum effort (for THEM) it's too much even if it means hours of extra work for you to get it to work.

I had a friend who moved from iPhone to Android and he insisted that he could still use his Apple calendar appointments on his Android. I tell him to just use the Google one because it makes sense but no it has to be Apple calendar because that's what he uses on his iPad. I tell him there's tons of iOS apps that support Google calendar but to no avail. Took me ages to find an app that would actually combine Google and Apple calendar into a single app. Only for it to break after a month because Apple being the cunts they are, changed the protocol breaking all apps that used that function Evil or Very Mad Cue me telling friend to fuck off and either use Google calendar or no calendar at all.

I'm somewhat ok with him playing it on console, but playing it vanilla is like playing only 1/2 of the game!! Mad

Should've been the first clue.

This, someone being that fucking stubborn is just not worth ANY of your energy.
Especially if it's a friend can't even take your word for granted.

Sounds like an selfish and ungrateful person. You should pretty much tell him that, and ignore his requests about this any further.

Tell him that you will help him if he helps you digging a nice hole for a new pool in your backyard. Then throw him in the hole and shovel the dirt onto his face. Plant some nice flowers, so that he is at least good for something Mad

Well, with Pumpy's idea he at least would have the decency of burying his "friend"!

Right, because using and mocking Sellob's recent post as the punchline for a joke is a decent thing to do.
