Thursday Next

It'd be a pain to make it GeoIP specific. Most folk just apply it across the board I think.

That's rather inconsiderate. I get that you're pumped and want to download to your buddy, but you should still respect that others are on a normal sleeping schedule and try to keep it down a little (or at least apologise for being a little overexcited).

No love for chips and curry sauce?

Pretty much as TCP says. Memorial day could be any time of the year. If I'd been asked to guess I'd have gone for "November-ish" since that's general war memorial season in the UK so I have no idea whether to mentally file as "coming soon" or "coming later". (I wasn't anywhere near annoyed as I appeared by the way. A 5 second trip to Google solved the mystery. It's just dumb Americentric nonsense that annoys me. I was just venting for fun.) Back to the point in hand. I liked the other recent Xmans but I feel a bit burnt out on the franchise. Also, Sansa as Jean Grey does not excite me.

You mean like Easter, which is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21? We Americans are so ridiculous with our complicated "last Monday of May". I'm not criticising the timing of memorial day, I'm criticising the use of a moveable holiday as a release date. I've never seen a UK movie advertised with a release date of "Coming Easter", largely because it moves about and people would shrug their shoulders and say "No idea when that is coming out then." and would miss the big day. (Unless they are parents in which case they'll have a vague idea due to school holidays.)

YEAH! First, they should be on the DATE-MONTH-YEAR bandwagon. It's really annoying living next to them because it's probably 50/50 when you see a date if it's M-D-Y or D-M-Y, they confuse everything. AND THEN, using Memorial Day?? That can't be a real holiday. AND it moves between around the 25th to 30th May every year as well. At least when you say "Boxing Day" it's the 26th December every year. Not some arbitrary 2 Tuesday of the month except on even numbered years that start on a Monday bollocks.

What the fuck is fucking memorial day? For fucks sake America, use a fucking calendar. Fucking 30th of fucking May 20 fucking 16. There. Was that so fucking difficult? I fucking hate this "Holiday 2016", "Fall 2017" shit. Just use fixed a fucking date on the Gregorian fucking calendar you cocks.

No Will Smith is definitely A+++. They haven't cast his kid as his kid have they? It's the sort of thing I can imagine Hollywood doing. EDIT: They have not. They cast some dude called Jesse Usher.

It's just *really* densely populated in some areas, and very sparsely populated in others. e.g. ~10% of the country's (89,000 sq miles) population lives in the greater London area (600 square miles). Which works out at about 10% of the Population living in 0.6% of the area.

Presumably has crappy signal where he lives.

I thought PC was early next year, PS4 November. Yeah, Q1 2016 for PC, "Holiday" 2016 for PS4. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/07/23/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-gets-ps4-and-pc-release-dates

Yeah, I would always assume non-compacted. As long as your measurement is correct, it doesn't really matter if you use weight or volume. Recipes could easily ask for 200g of water instead of 200ml. It would just be weird.

I can't help but feel that the two parter i) Plant *loads* of trees and ii) Stop burning stuff and use renewable energy is a better solution rather than i) Break stuff ii) Break stuff even more in the hope that it gets so broken that it is fixed.

We got a cup with our bread maker that ahs "cup" measurements. Seems a cup is a half pint. That said, provided the recipe is all in cups, and you use the same cup ratios will all be the same so you will just have a larger / smaller thing depending on the size of cup you used.

Something something love song something something...

I could handle a Far Cry BrotherBeastHood.

That's what I'm saying. Whippersnappers. Strutting around like "here's where this is from." You weren't there man! You don't know! You probably think that Ant & Dec first rose to fame doing let's get ready to rumble! smh mumble grumble... younguns today... Harumph.

That only happened cos they were both in Soldier Soldier! Bloody whippersnappers don't know nothin' 'bout nothin'!

That's sort of what I'm getting at. It would have been very similar even if all 14 victims (plus 17 wounded) were armed. Guns = death. More guns = still plenty of death. No guns = much much less death.

"Fourteen people were killed and 17 wounded", "The Police Department’s SWAT team was training nearby and was suited, “ready to roll” and responded rapidly" so even with a SWAT team already tooled up around the corner, 14 still died... It's almost as if having *more* guns doesn't actually do fucking anything to lower the death toll.

I think this is a personal taste thing. 11 guns - 3 x Blaster Pistols, 3 x Heavy Blasters, 3 x Blaster Rifles, 1 x Shock Blaster and 1 x Targeting Rifle feels like plenty to me. Pistols, Heavies and Rifles all feel different to me. Not sure about Shock and Targeting or differences between each rifle as I haven't played it enough to try them all. As for the cards, Jump Packs are for sure the most fun, but the Ion Torpedos, grenades, cycler rifles all have their uses in different situations. If you're a Rebel on Walker Assault you want to be carrying a full set of Ion gear and if you're the Empire on Hoth then having a Cycler Rifle and Homing Shot are going to be much more useful than a Jump Pack. I think it strikes a nice balance between being tweakable to suit your style and situation while being accessible enough for everyone without overloading them with too many options.

Steam ID/Wishlist/Country (in case of regional restrictions) VictorAnalogy, http://steamcommunity.com/id/victoranalogy/wishlist United States of Kingdom, Englandshire. General criteria Short, indie type stuff (but preferably not "lol broken physics" games), something that doesn't need a lot of horsepower to run. What are your favorite genres? Adventure games, puzzle games, short games, roguelikes. What are your favorite games? At the moment, Destiny, Battlefront and Broken Age. Volume was great as is Rocket League. Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? If only PS did gifting. Will you take games not on your wishlist? Of course. Any other information you think relevant? Nah, just get me whatever.

Balance and amount of content is something I've heard a fair deal. What's your issue with Progression and Customisation? For customisation, you can't exactly have people sticking random shit all over their Storm trooper uniforms or running around as a bright pink soldier, loadout customisation is completely open. You can't stick loads of twiddly bits on the guns, but for me that is easily the most tedious element of BF and COD. For progression, you collect currency and experience to unlock and purchase tiers of cards that act as accessories with cool downs. It's all pretty simple and for a change, it feels like unlocking everything is achievable. I honestly think that most of the complaints are down to the game being accessible to a wider group. Rather than being just for people who have played BF and COD plenty in the last 5 years.
