Do you spend that much time on boats?

It's just not the same without a red beam of light lopping off limbs and such. Lasers have let me down.

This ones been doing the rounds with my lot lately. Cracks me up.

Ah, that's fair enough then. If it's ~$40 of content plus a video feed, then have at it. Not that anyone needs my blessing. Cheers for the info.

You having a laugh? $40 to watch a jumped up infommercial online?

Why am I not allowed to see it? (I clicked it anyway) Ohhh "Acquired". Gotcha!

I shall give you a blow by blow account of coop tonight via steam chat from my PS3. Welcome to the woooorrrrrrrld of tomorrowwwwwwwww!

Portal 2- Exceeds the original in pretty much every way imaginable. Get it.

And his tea will get cold. Mwuhahahaha!

So advice for people who ask for several thousand dollars make sure you're going to keep your end of the bargain. Also don't Or go on holiday to south america permanently. Unless the only people you have upset are a bunch of whiny Linux fanboys, I mean, this isn't the ndrangheta we're talking about.

I agree that to people who are part of that culture the different words mean different things. Like "jus" and "coulis" to a lay person are just "sauces" while to a chef or foody there is a world of difference. There's no point raging at people (which I acknowledge you don't) who say "are you reading a comic/watching a cartoon?" You can either take a breath and explain the differences (subjective though they may be) or say "yup" shrug your shoulders and carry on.

Bubbly is the blind date watch word for me. I hear "bubbly" and I think "blubbery".

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13047890 Some old biddy gets ragged on by our previous PM, makes a few headlines. Am I now supposed to care every time she makes a comment about or around a politician. She asked if Clegg was happy with the governments decisions. He said that any government would have to make tough choices, she says "I've just been listening to you on the television, and I've listened to you on the radio, and that's just the same speech you gave an hour ago." Why wasn't the headline "Old Woman Points out that Politician is Consistent in his Messaging"? Still, maybe she has some sort of insight into the current situation... "It's gone wrong," she said, "Let's face it, it's all gone wrong." Great. Thanks for that. Any other pearls for us?

I'm getting a strong "Leon" vibe from this trailer (this is a good thing) not suggesting it's a remake/copy/rip-off or anything. Just the Social Misfit Assassin - Kid relationship and stuff. Definitely on my to-do list.

I too liked Suckerpunch.

Well, the last part is basically it. But it's not that I'm overly concerned so much as that I know they're not exactly the most savvy users when it comes to basic security and you know what they say about better safe than sorry. And I said myself that I was paranoid about my Steam account's security. Besides, it's not like I ever had any reason to log on Steam on any PC other than my desktop or my laptop anyway. Though I guess that now with Steam Guard and all such insane precautions might be overdoing it. Yeah... I kinda came up with the last bit as I was about to hit "add reply" but still wanted to ask just in case you really were mental. That's fair enough, you never do know how clean other people's systems are.

Every Colossus death scene was epic.

I guess if you could ignite the ammo/fuel or something... but then a well placed pair of mirrors set at a 45 degree angle could make this a very hazardous weapon for the person firing it...

I don't believe this one's an Americanism, but it was so hilariously dumb that I have to raise it here. When referring to someone who was doing something backwards, an American paralegal colleague of mine said "They're always putting the horse before the court." As opposed to "Putting the cart before the horse." To this day I have no idea what she was thinking as I couldn't bring myself to correct her.

You wouldn't log into your steam account on another persons computer... even if you were the one doing it? I don't get it. You could quite easily remove all trace of your steam account when you were done. I get being careful, but that seems a touch OTT imho, unless your concerned that their PC's are already full of keyloggers and what not just waiting to steal your deets.

You should of realised that by now I know you cannot be taught.

Wow. How can you admit that M&K is superior, play on a platform that uses it, and not M&K on purpose? I mean, I'd flippin' love it if more developers allowed M&K on PS3, the right tool for the job and all that.

As in. It took Anon way too long to figure this out. (I know Anon is not technically a "he" it's a "they" but I wanted to preserve the original quote).

I still think the Helghan or is it Helghast? Are more Soviet than Nazi. From the punishing nature of their home to their Cyrillic looking text. I could stand to see a proper Mass Effect movie, but I'd rather something set in the ME universe than along the ME story arc. If you catch my drift.

He can be taught!
