https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv9TtQdx9Ao I've seen a hundred ads for this game, but this one almost had me tempted.

It's entirely a touristy thing - they created the name when they built the train station to encourage people to travel that far along the line. It's ordinary name is Llanfairpwllgwyngyll which admittedly is still rather a mouthful, but no worse than a lot of other welsh names.

Are you subscribed to WSJ or using shenanigans to read that?

I missed out on the goodbye coin so got these instead: which is a set of two coasters. The coins certainly didn't last long until they sold out but I'm sort of glad as it made the decision for me and while I liked the idea of the goodbye coin it would just sit in a cupboard so is a bit of a waste.

What's bad about lettuce (production)?
-
bread and a bit of meat would freeze fine, but for other stuff you wouldn't need to experiment. That's all been done and easily googlablebut obviously not telling you what to do just I've never heard of anyone who's tried that method and not loved it. Anyone here tried tres leche cake? It sounds like something I'd love but cannot quite imagine it. E.G., Does the glaze sinK in making the cake moist like a drizzle cake or sit on top like a glazed donut?
-
I don't know if you already do this but you can make up all your weeks sandwiches in one batch and put them in the freezer. Take one out each morning you need it and it's defrosted by lunchtime. Some things don't freeze great , e.g. Lettuce, but it saves time and money and is good for diets as you don't have the ingredients sat in the fridge all week tempting you/needing to be eaten as thhey're going off.

Yes I've played all the games except unity. Was a long while ago though.The only one I've not finished is the vita one
-
Coincidentally, I'm playing that at the moment - I'm enjoying the plot more than normal, seems like he's actually struggling with some moral choices and trying to do the right thing rather than just being set off on a path and ploughing along it indiscriminately killing, though I'm ready for a change of scenery. I think just because the world may actually be too big for me now. Navigating the ship though all those narrow straits make the naval battles and fort capturing a bit awkward and too many separate places to drop anchor means I'm finding it a very disjointed experience. All the separate bits are good though like the cave exploring and even the viewpoints are often not just climb straight up the nearest tower and require a little route planning. Haven't played unity and I know it has technical problems, but I'm hoping they've used it as a chance to refocus (and dare I say give it a bit of a reboot). One thing I've found a bit weird is that the "back" menu button is also the main interact button so I'm often backing my way out of a menu only to jump straight back into it. I don't know if that's because I'm on 360 when I usually play them on PS3, but another side effect of that is I do not cope well with wild animal attacks as it's not just not the PS3 controller I'm used to for this series, but also the letters are the opposite way around to a Nintendo controller which is the other one I'm used to. That's only a small niggle though and I think the series remains a favourite.

I thought you just put hoover the cat, which would definitely be more entertaining. Spoof may not be a word you'd use for it but when the love letter is about as subtle as Scary Movie I think it fits (minus the implied humour), but it was comically badly written/plotted/acted and like I say well past simple cliché. An ode to the genre may be one thing but it needs its own voice or something unique. I think cassetteboy could have made this exact same film. Even the action sequences were not exciting to me, which would be the only redeeming feature so no, even the first watch through wasn't worth it. I wouldn't even leave it on in the background if it was on again
-
It was so bad, I couldn't tell if it was a spoof of the genre or not. edit: oops i guess i left this comment unposted too long. that was about pacific rim not usual suspects
-
Pacific Rim has put me off big monster movies for now but I will try and remember there is a newer one worth watching for the future.
-
Is that the one with Matthew Broderick or is there a newer one since then? Can't believe I still haven't seen it, it's on TV practically every week.
-
There's no point in making a load of work fit yourself and updating if it's just going to make a load of problems that are worse than the ones we have now. I guess my problem is I still naively see updates in a positive light. I'm assuming .1 updates would concentrate on fixing issues introduced in a .0 update rather than new features so fingers crossed for that.
-
I've had that for about as long as the new content button hasn't worked (a long time) but I'm hoping everything will sort itself out when the forum software is updated by our benevolent overlord.

Dean, will this work for you to skip the login screen? Here's a tip for anyone who, like me, hates the Windows 8/10 login screen. Just hit Windows Key + R to bring up the Run window, then type in the word 'netplwiz'. Then untick the box in the next window, click okay There's a photo of the box to untick which says users must enter a username and password to use this pc. Not tried it myself as I don't want it to log straight in but worth a try hopefully

anyone in PAL region got any club nintendo codes they don't need? Just short of getting the coin and bomb flower coasters - don't want to have to choose! Thanks

When I search whatsapp and choose iphone only it just comes up with a load of junk apps not the actual one, and when I click a direct link from the whatsapp site it takes me to the store but says it's iphone only and I can't see anything there to show the app, The googled solutions involve owning an iphone and accessing older cached versions of the app so I don't think there is an easy solution to it.

That's my tablet's login screen. Where should I be pressing? I've tried swiping from every edge and pressing everything. Also with the laptop, I log in with a full microsoft account, and just did an experiment. I went to my login screen and turned my wifi off, I tried an incorrect password and it said I'm offline so use the last password for this computer, but with the PIN it just said it was incorrect so I don't think it saves that to the cloud, it's not a timeout thing though because it doesn't make me log in with my MS password (I've haven't used that to log in to Windows 10 at all yet), it just doesn't remember I want to use the PIN and as soon as I change back to PIN it lets me login with that.

I'm using whatsapp on my android phone, and it connects to whatsapp web on my laptop with no problems. I'm struggling with my ipad though. The whatsapp web app doesn't work in safari, nor chrome - it just suggests I download the app, but that works only on iphone, not ipad. I can't find anything on google except connecting the iphone app to a laptop, which isn't the problem I'm having or installing whatsapp on an ipad, which would be good except it doesn't seem to actually work with iOS 8 and is rather dodgy. Anyone got any ideas?
-
I'm having several login issues. On my laptop it doesn't always remember that I log in with a PIN rather than password, so I'll type it in and get an error before I notice and then have to click about to get it to PIN entry when the whole point of choosing that method was that it's quickest for me. On my tablet you can't switch users from the login screen, so if another person wants to use it from sleep they either have to restart it or get the original user to log in and switch users from the start menu, neither of which, as you can imagine, is ideal. Once I'm logged in I mostly like it, though I liked Windows 8, so what do I know.

I'm not sure about"find some familiar faces" makes it sound fleeting - most of the games end up mentioning altair and his master, to show where things started out so it could be something as simple as that. I just started rogue, so don't know quite where the modern day story ends up. I did think about danny wallace, as I like him, but evidently forgot to mention him.

Here's a Guardian article on the project. It's vaguely optimistic, but there's not much to it. It does say Fassbender will be playing both a modern day character and a 15th century Spanish ancestor during the Spanish Inquisition. To make it work I think they'll need to spend a larger proportion of their time in the modern world setting than the games do since you'd probably need the amount of plot they've spread out over the entirety of the game series in the one film. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they spent the majority of the film's time there. I wonder if it will tie into the game world, e.g. the modern day part could be a continuation of the game's without much difficulty, or if future games will make reference to the spanish inquisition. I'd be equally as happy if it was it's own separate world.

I feel like I may need to keep my eye out on passiveaggressivenotes.com for some of your handiwork.
