You guys do have an impressive national bird

Ghost Recon. So fun creeping around peering for Russians to snipe or ambush. Not many epic firefights in the game, but I suppose that is more realistic given the scale.

Good old educational games, I miss Midnight Rescue.

The 'Are they punished?' question is probably the huge part. In my experience here, cops get off pretty easy for anything and if they even are punished - they still keep their job. G20 had huge issues with cops' hard man fantasies getting the best of them - roughing up reporters, people just sitting around and nothing is done to any of them as the investigating branch can never find anything, etc. People are surprised in fact a cop got sentenced to 15 months for forcing a lady to give him oral sex (kind of light, really) , but the funny bit is he might not lose his job. Generally, you get a sense of a law for them and a law for us. Or like Bryant's quote in Blade Runner, 'if you're not cop, you're little people'.

What, no giant list of the way the US sucks, abuses the world, is a rogue state ? Well, the day is young I suppose.

Tell that to Toronto cops when you get a chance. Significant numbers of them believe that All in all, is a safe job for them. And when they do buy it, they get everything short of their corpse mounted on a throne of gold. But it is fun that you should be nice to cops just out of fear of them doing whatever they want and be covered for it, rather than any respect.

Key word is 'sounded'

Just work related stuff, better to jump now than later, so to speak

Seems from the outside that people are pretty pissed off about him and his policies more than the usual grumbling you'd get here.

Looks like a time for a change in life, here. Goody.

Or both Shaundis.

Better than the speech from Independence Day.

I assume this type of screw up is more common than not, just due to nature of things. But, Obsidian might have better business management than DF. Also assuming Schafer and crew didn't all make house payments or get new cars with the money

She was the best thing out of Man of Steel. Had her pegged as other than German, though.

Disappointing it's needed, here's hoping the training is actually done and takes and it's not just giant lip service.

There was a recent one where they blasted the dog after arresting the owner (made the mistake of filming them, really) - http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-buzz/graphic-video-shows-police-shooting-dog-during-arrest-170457073.html All things considered though, pretty sweet deal to be a cop in NA. At least in terms of standards.

To be honest, not really. Though that does sound fun, even if me amassing a hobo gang is unlikely.

And it's a wonder some people dislike the police. But I'm sure a video of a 'good' cop giving a homeless guy a shoe or some kid candy will show up.

Did you submit a bug to OO, or chase up an existing open one if possible ?

Maybe this is why publishers and Schafer have a bad relationship. Ah well, I doubt he'll suffer for it in terms of reputation the next time he uses a kickstarter.

Another FNG at the office, still don't know who he is - though I suspect I should have gone across and say hello like most others, but eh. I guess the office will go out to the usual overpriced bar for drinks and work related conversation sometime this week as well, hm

Hooray for PM failure. Think the update was backers only

Always nice to somehow miss things like that, well if it was with their client, anyway. Edgy though! Also a delight when Ubisoft gets egg on its face.

Only on a designated day every couple of years.
