Oh, you mean the perspective that we have the better machines for "proper" gaming, but still have to put up with those annoying console people? I was thinking of the "cheaper games, fewer buyers, yet still expect special treatment" perspective, but that works, too :D I always thought console people needed a slapping to get them to pick up on that. You have a machine that doesn't work as well as a pc, and you still pay silly money for games to play on it that are usually not quite as capable as pc games..

And for that slightly different look..

Oh, you mean the perspective that we have the better machines for "proper" gaming, but still have to put up with those annoying console people? I have to admit, the more I hear about DA:I, the more tempting it gets. I'm interested in just how much actual choice & consequence there will be and how much you can actually shape/effect the development of the Inquisition through the game. It's making me feel like they're trying to make a crpg that actually covers that old style of D&D when you hit 9th level and got a Keep and followers Having that shift from "ye low-level adventurer hacking kobolds" to "stately world affecting character and his minions". It's an interesting idea, let's just see how the execution of it actually holds up this time around.

Hm, Facebook is asking its users to give feedback on the new Terms and Conditions: Also

The Philadelphia Story. There are reasons some films are just absolute classics. Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and James Stewart are just a great mix with the dialogue. Dang, now I feel in the mood to chase down some more of the 40's screwball comedies and light rom-coms.

Heh, who would have thought this thread would last this long? Hm, I'm tempted to add something that's potentially on the balance of nsfw.. what the hell, I find it amusing and suitable for this thread. http://youtu.be/YHood00sNJU

It's that Lex Luthor look. They're expecting you to be an Evvvvviiil Genius. Because that's sexy.

Hopefully you can start reclaiming a bit of your life, now you won't be running around after her and her pets for a while. Well we've still got the cat and the mad spaniel. Apparently she was only allowed to have one pet in the new place. Which on a certain level I kind of worry about, because he's a big dog and she'll be working 9-5 most days so whether she'll get back on track for actually giving him daily runs or not...

Before they were famous..

Helped my sister move a fridge/freezer combo into her new place. Now today is the official "she's out of the house and into the new one". She's taken the big dog with her, so here's to how it all turns out.

I've known a few and they were generally quite pleasant. Some can get a bit focused on what their geek interest is in, but as long as you don't talk to them like they're freaky weirdo's or act condescending, they're usually okay.

Well they got the voice actress to come back to spend a day just doing all of the "painful" moans and gasps. Maybe he just wanted an excuse to get her back in the studio making all those noises?

If we're taking a spin on the celebrities again.. And frankly, we just have to wander Star Wars side for a moment:

Of course nowadays, you hold up your phone and thank them for saying that on the record so you can put it on facebook, so if they want to try that..

Heh, my parents will never let me forget a couple of the comments they got that first parent-teacher's evening after I started secondary school. "Normally by the time half-term arrives, if everyone in the staff room is aware of a new student's name that is either a very good sign or a very bad sign. In your son's case, we just don't know."

I'm half surprised no-one has gone with the "But.. I didn't know she was married.. or her sister..." frame of words..

It's that "dancer / gymnast" fitness, as opposed to body-builder muscle fitness... Now I feel like applying the correct dose of motivationals to this thread..

The Internet. Where the men are boys. The women are men. And the children are all FBI agents... Well, the internet has moved on somewhat since those days...

Hm, and for a further Riddick element, a quote from Vin regarding how it went along...
