So if they don't pay their rents...what happens? Surely they go bust/have to pay all possible debts? Assuming they're looking to re-start/re-structure/downsize, they have enough money for their rents, surely? With the stock being withdrawn from the LSE...what happens to people who held anything? Is that money just lost or frozen? I don't quite understand how if they owe money, and can't cover it, they're going to manage to continue on. They should at least offer up Gamestation to someone... EDIT: £180mil breakdown; It has been reported that Game faces a £21 million rent payment due on Sunday and a £12 million wage bill at the end of the month, and owes more than £10 million in VAT and £40 million to suppliers. A new investor would have to pay up to £100 million to Game's banks.

Depends on why you want to know, I'm not keen to reveal it right now without good reason.

Can't/shouldn't be anything to do with me as far as I'm aware. Had a feeling this might be the case. Can anyone confirm ReZ was actually re-directed as he claims? Looking at it, there was a delay with Danny too, but that was much longer than with me. It's either Jimbob's power, some interference, or could be Peeps being slow, though I'd rather hope twas not the case.

I sent her that description yesterday which she said made much more sense. I just recieved an out of the blue communique. I have procured the picture. I currently do not the possess the technology at my current location to decode it into a helpful format. I shall send word again post 1600hrs. (ie im at work my usb cable is at home)

This completely! If I could thanks x10 I would. One thing I've felt the latter marios failed on is their linearity compared to SM64. There's the little thrill of being in on a secret from getting both secret stars, finding 'hidden' worlds and others' unique features, and also from getting a star you shouldn't have! From Sunshine on, you can basically only get a star/shine one if selected and as intended, even the secret stars were only on certain shines in Galaxy! I never liked that about the game. Ever since Mario 1, every game has had some sort of sneaky secrets(warps, mainly), and I felt the latter games just didn't. Crafted is the word that always comes to mind for me when it comes to Mario 64. It was wholly crafted, carefully and intricately as its own little world of worlds within a world(I heard you like worlds...). Admittedly my mate did say it felt weak to him as he played Banjo before Mario, but I don't think we'd have had Banjo and DK64 *without* Mario. Even then...Mario 64 just felt like it was...the right size? It was a world that wasn't a world, it was just a castle! I don't know about the others, but I actually think the 3DS version was a very worthy remake. Whilst the characters felt tacked onish, and the touch controls just weren't...sufficient, they added a nice bit of content. Each character controlled its own way, the caps were a shortcut to changing to the required character for a certain star, and they added a whopping what...30 extra stars?! 1 for each level and 15 more secret ones or something ridiculous? Definitely a worth remake. It certainly would, as others have said, be good to have a 3D graphically updated version of the game on 3DS, either original or DS remake, I don't mind!!

If my freshly bought preowned ps3 breaks....am I fucked? Also I have £3 on a reward card at gamestation! I might go refund my God of War and then use it up to rebuy it... Also slightly sad I was planning to try to get rich off GAME shares

Lol, welcome to my life and Dohnut/ReZ. So far we have; heroic - no threat to town according to Cube Danny - probably town due to DuD's death/swap aqui1a - ReZ says he got info that he's town, though not an info gatherer. @Aqui1a has been quiet all game. mr-paul - EEVIL thinks he is town and has confirmed his power/being targetted on night 1 Dohnut - nothing to unconfirm his previous claim being blocked til night 4. ReZ - not actually verified by any of this, except that he was indeed redirected by Danny. Actually, we don't know that, can you confirm a redirection Danny? Do we actually know he was redirected or did this get assumed? Tbh my focus at the moment is on ReZ.
-
How can it not have the letters you need! ReZ, I assume you have the paid, what's it offering over the free other than more words? I do find it quite hard to draw on this, especially combined with finding it hard to draw IRL anyway cos I'm an uncreative spastic, I have a cheapy touchscreen stylus knowcking that's making it minorly better for me and my fatty fingers though.
-
Ah, well, I just thought they'd have the months to negotiate and take best offers like, not going to be a huge increase, but when stock's so low valued, it's a higher percentage difference. Regarding Gamestation, that's totally the wrong move, close Game and trade as Gamestation! Also what confuses me is I thought I read somewhere that OpCapita had the money good to go, but somehow RBS were slowing things down? I don't understand it all really. EDIT:Nevermind just seen that says the OpCapita thing is dead.
-
It's only 69p?! I might actually get the proper thing for that, but I swear twas more when I went on the market... It's totally only 69p, I am very probably going to buy it!
-
Tbh, I think clearing him as town at this early stage without solid need/reason to quite strange. I know ReZ said he doesn't care about target on back etc, but still...why take the risk when it's not neccessary yet? Unless they're mafia, aqui1a is lying low, and he's trying to clear him or seed him as town now?
-
Their rents are due in the next week, if they don't meet them, BAM! Administration. I don't really know what happens when a company goes into administration though. I believe a lot of companies are poised to buy them out dirt-cheap then. However if Game can raise their rent money/owed money before the due date, they survive a few more months to sell out for a slightly higher price than they would otherwise, hence they're probably trying to do that? #idontreallyknoworunderstandanyofthis/amtotallyguessing
-
Ah, yes! So DuD swap-protected the target and took the hit instead. DuD's town, Aqui1a is apparently town, and ReZ's redirector is town. Does any of this mean that ReZ is town? Ftr this was to follow my post before, having looked at the writeup, not yours Cube. We're posting too fast! So DuD is town, Dannyboy is likely town. Does this clear ReZ in any way? Because I still find it slightly strange clearing Aqui1a as town when he's been so quiet.
-
Hmm, looking at it that doesn't quite make sense, and I'm still confused. If they tried to kill ReZ, why did they get DuD instead?
-
These certainties confuse me, so let me get it right. ReZ was redirected to Aqui1a(who still hasn't said anything from what I see!), and has found out he's good. The person who redirected ReZ is also town, because the mafia tried to kill them. Does this mean there's a second re-director who re-directed the killer from the first to DuD?

So, apparently this was recently released but is already quite popular. Essentially a bit like mobile iSketch, you start off presented with 3 words(easy, medium, or hard sorta thing) and pick one to draw. You then draw it, and your 'opponent' has to guess what it is! If they're right, you get coins(1 2 or 3 depending which word was chosen), accumulate enough and you can unlock more colours to use and stuff. That's what I know of it so far, though I've only had it a day. I think it's on all mobile platforms, and comes in a paid or free variety. The free is ad supported I think, the paid gives you more coins to start with and a wider selection of words to draw or something. You can play via facebook login, or sign up by email it appears, and once you've signed up and have a name, you can apparently track down your friends and play with them! So, anybody else out there got it? Forumite Usernames: Cube - Cube1701 gmac - GraemeMaclachlan flameboy - aducker84 Guy - GuyRJHodge Jimbob - jimbob-ne mr-paul - paulmuchmore The Peeps - SamG1988

Oh wow, good point. I didn't read the thread proper as I was at work and so I take it back, apologies. Mafiaaaaaaa! Though me neither. Interested in knowing why Aqui1a is likely townie, mainly because he hasn't said anything.
-
Calm down people, I would rather happen to think that was his departing post.

So when's the actual date the rents are due? I went to a game yesterday to get a preowned PS3, they and my more local store didn't have it, so I popped down the road to dartford gamestation and got a 160 slim for £130 preowned! No idea if that's a good price, but I've been taken up with it all! Got speaking to the girl behind the counter too(who foolishly actually dropped the first ps3 off the counter -.-) about how things are and they basically know nothing etc, I did have to feel a little sorry for her and the staff there. Still...I do hate GAME. Then again, I hate Sony even more, and now look what I've bloody gone and done!

Twitter is a bit more of a public broadcast website too, compared to 4chan. I mean they both have their place and it can be argued that both are public, but I think they're certainly very different. As Iun said, freedom of speech is not just saying anything and everything that you like to/at/about anyone you like. Or it kinda is, but with punishment where it's due. Nobody actually censored him from what I could, which would be restricting his freedom of speech, rather he was allowed to say it and then punished. His speech was indeed free! Though having said that, I'm finding it very hard to actually find many of the apparently racist and sexist tweets that he apparently made, because no news articles seem to be repeating/reporting them.

Make sure you read the picture, Diageo. There's going to be multiple opinions on the matter, and if I looked I could easily find one that suggests it the other way. In fact, I could credibly edit the wikipedia article to present it as an alternative intepretation to the joke and I can imagine it would stand. Anti-humor was better represented in Cube's chocolate chip muffin. This does have a plausible interpretation, if it didn't, minds would not be being blown. If you can't see it, that is your issue, but I'm personally already stunning my friends with it, and shall continue to do so. I'll let them know that despite their perceptions, they're actually wrong, on authority of yourself. I find the science/reasoning behind humour very interesting, and as said I find this to be an excellent joke with its new interpretation, which stands as valid despite your claims. I wish I could try some of the others that I know, but they're not as good written down, and the fact people don't get them for ages is part of the fun. They think it's just anti-humor, and many will still tell you both of them are. I'd start a seperate thread on humour and jokes for this, but we've had it before, and I actually think the discussion qualifies for a thread about funny stuff. I love both of these. Is the latter from Buttersafe?
-
With its new found meaning, I'd liken it more to The two nuns, and the Architect. The pun argument still comes back to your original argument of intent, it defines a pun. Your argument is still pretty weak, and merely one of your insistence on it being only how you see it and no open-ness to a valid alternative. I'd hoped I might sway you from your inflexibility, as you remind me of myself when I was younger.

Lol, how is it not? My point is that it IS. Taking it literally destroys this.
