Me (for) and Flink (against) have wasted several theses worth of words on this problem. I just deleted a massive chunk of text where I 'summarised' my side of the argument, but I don't know if it's my place to 'convince' people. I will just say it is reversable, so why not give it a shot? We have more to gain than we do to lose.
LAWL!
Hi dere, bb! Just reading your post and seeing your sig gave me an orgasmic dose of memories. Glad to see you posting, and hoping you'll find the time to post a wee bit from time to time! I don't have any job yet I still 'can't find the time' to go on IRC like the olden days. MSN is dead to me, too.
I won't mention your robot voice.
We have a strange history of deciding that 20 players is somehow optimum. It doesn't have to be! Just be patient, give it a day then just close sign-ups and go with the flow
Unforch' for me, my distinct lack of interest in pokemon has soured my previous experiences so I won't be playing, even though I'm certain that you'll be providing a wicked experience I just feel excluded by it being pokemon. Next time do something else!
The IGN UK review plays down teh tech difficulties, and gives a good idea of the 'hardcore' system. The idea, I think, is that the mapis smaller, there are more 'pit-stops' and "mattresses at teh side of the road" that you can crash on, and having to drink toilet-bowl rad-ifested water will be far less optional.
Joystiq's reviewer (closed the page so don't have a url for you) clearly felt pissed off by the constant and lengthy loading times, and perhaps a bit bewildered by the larger choice that the game has, as it's less clear about its morality this time.
They both agreed that teh script is way better this time, and the atmosphere is more immersive. I'm still undecided whether to pick this up straight away, but pretty decided on playing hardcore mode from the off, as I think this game was designed with it in mind.
Had a very annoying fornight - a week without a game, a game with default tactics and a late winner - that also happened today. Last minute winner. But this time I only had one attempt on goal so I can't complain. Gotta get these forwards experienced!
I suppose I have to be grateful that it wasn't more severe... my away form is attrocious. It always sucks losing by just one goal, mind you. Always.
I'm always willing to travel anywhere from anywhere, but I agree! Next year it'd be great to have several gigs going on at once.
I've played Fallout 3 for 18 hours straight before, I think mixing the games up would keep me on form!
At 38 years old, I doubt having kids was still a realistic option for the guy, so in essence it was a free £200 to score with. Why wouldn't he say yes?
Getting younger skagheads to give up their family jewels is dangerous because their situation may lead them to falsely weight their available options.
But these days the snip can be reversed, so meh.
City of Dave was great fun, and stumbling upon that viola lady's place and the UFO were both cool. The city of life... was that fallout? With the tree stuff?
Deathclaw Sanctuary (or whatevs.) was... harrrdd! And scary!
Today I went to a CIDER festival in Lewes. No beer, just cider! I only had two and a half pints in 5 hours, but I had a great time. AND THEY HAD MEAD! I bought two pints of mead. I will be merry for ages. I won my girlfriend a little turtle teddy bear thing that reminded me of an old alient pod teddy i had as a kid.
Also, got two episodes of Smallville to watch (shorty tells me ep4 is awesomz) and UFC 120 as well.
MEAD!
MEAD!!!
I've actually just started introducing the word "clint" as a derogative term in my social circles. The trick to it is that people first think that maybe you're paying them a compliment, comparing them to Eastwood...
Looks like america is all about food, and for that I am jealous! As if it was two weeks... ReZ, we missed you :'(
P.S. Loving the 'motel' style apartment. Did you have separate rooms..?
Most shops/pubs have a list displayed somewhere that says what forms of ID they accept. Some places accept NUS cards (national union of students), such as university IDs, but the problem here is there's no real conformity between different unis and their IDs so my sheffield one would be less likely to be accepted the farther away I am!
I will try to pay attention next time I go into a shop as I'm fairly sure there's a good 3 or 4 forms of ID accepted. A 'form of ID' when dealing with a bank/government institution also covers your birth certificate, bills in your name in combination with a form of photo ID (anything with your photo and your name on, but typically driver's license and passport are all that are accepted ironically enough).
Aside from a birth certificate, there's no form of universal ID in the UK to the extent that I can only imagine you have. Can you describe your card?
