  1. Is the other cat stuffed or something it doesn't seem to be reacting to the tv nor the other cat at all
  2. so many american recipes look lush but then call for a box cake mix/brownie mix. If I;m making something nice I want to make it properly from scratch not with some weird box of junk. it's really annoying as it's another step to work out how to make from scratch and means you can't just save the recipe as is.
  3. The dude you're taking about is also in a decent programme about people that returned from the dead (I hesitate to say zombies as their still conscious-partially dead syndrome they call it in the programme) It's called 'in the flesh' and is worth a watch. Oh and as to humans, that was good- hope it's not a spoiler but you are very right about the asimov laws. Rebecca foot turns up in it too which I thought was weird as the role seems more minor than she should be doing
  4. Can you embed vimeo? this is lovely, anyway.
  5. It's an RPGs but the 'player' is controlled by the cpu. You're a god that inspires the adventurer but the only thing you have to do is revive him if he dies, you can try to talk to him but he won't necessarily do what you want and you don't even know what you can ask him to do as it's hand typed by you not a list of commands . That means it's hard to know what you're achieving
  6. Anyone played Godville? Someone at work recommended it and I just don't get it. Want to know if I'm missing something.
  7. How is a NAS HDD different to a normal HDD?
  8. The worst thing about pirates of the Caribbean is Jonny depp and I don't see them fixing that.
  9. A seemingly normal person will drop 50 IQ points and/or have a 180 personality change to become a belligerent unreasonable monster the second they step over the threshold of a shop. I'm not even joking. If you have any hope for the future of humanity you have never worked in a shop. If you have, you know we are all fucked and you know we deserve it.
  10. What's this about the EU knowing about the emissions cheating systems for 5 years? I only saw it on a comedy show so they didn't go into any details.
  11. Is that the colours you chose or a stock photo?
  12. I really don't know why I was even half hoping Nintendo would have their new account system set today after the old one closed yesterday. Wonder when it will actually arrive. Mostly out of curiosity as to what it will offer.
  13. Fucking consumers, man. They are the absolute biggest bucket of arseholes on the planet. I would happily punch each and everyone of then in the face until my knuckles bleed.
  14. oh, and thinking about pubs, I don't believe many pubs are run as franchises. Traditionally they are owned by the brewery that supplies their own beers at discounted prices to the landlord who buys in other drinks (wine, spirits), and other beers at normal prices but may be prevented by the brewer from buying in rival beers. The other traditional type is a freehouse which wasn't owned by a brewery, but by the landlord them self, they had the choice of what they bought but without the brewery provided discounts often struggled and some breweries would refuse to deal with them as they were rivals to their own pubs. Wetherspoons is a bit different to both as it is a chain, but not a franchise, they are all owned by one company, but that is not a brewery.
  15. supermarkets are still ostensibly large format food stores, they just diversified into areas with higher profit margins (mainly clothes, then homewares and entertainment). Food is definitely the main focus though and they all started as food only. If this is a typical walmart: I'd say most UK supermarkets are the opposite of that - the blue would be food/drink and the green everything else. I'd Marks and Spencer would be the only equivalent to the above format but no one would call M&S a supermarket, even the food-only ones.

    LGBT

    And because of that, one million moms is calling for A boycott.
  17. What's a medal cover as opposed to a medal
  18. I bought bishi bashi special and suikoden. I couldn't quite bring myself to buy Hatoful boyfriend though I'm tempted
  19. Has anyone played Hatoful Boyfriend? I can't even believe I'm thinking about buying it.

      Played a bit of it and got awfully bored inside an hour. I guess it's a funny joke, but eventually it loses it's charm and because a fairly run of the mill visual novel.

    3. Mr. GOH!

      Mr. GOH!

      Watched a let's play. It is not very interactive at all, even for visual novels, apparently.

      Yeah, isn't great. But I figure the novelty is the only reason any of you would play a VN anyway.

  20. I was moderately left wing in the UK, which apparently is extremely left wing in the US. Rand Paul was my best match Republican, but that was just 46%. Is he relatively moderate by Republican standards? Can't say I've actually heard of him.
  21. My results. Not sure why it thinks I'm in Liverpool. Green has been top when I've done similar ones before. Slightly disturbed at 61% UKIP agreement, though when I click through to compare it's on things like monarchy and decriminalising drugs so it's not as bad as it looks, especially as it thinks I'm moderately left wing.
  22. What I didn't buy today was a £200 PS4. They'd left out the "take to the till" DVD cases so was pretty excited but when I got to the till they said they didn't have any left. Pretty annoying stuff. Unless I see another offer that good it's back to waiting for the slim to rear it's hopefully-not-ugly head.
  23. Even though I will definitely be getting it at or near launch (don't judge me!), it's hard to get too excited if we don't even know if it's handheld, home console or some hybrid system.
  24. I suppose this is the next step on from selling download codes in GAME. I wonder how much control Nintendo gives the retailers over the price.
