Well I can't speak for everyone else on whether or not you speak for everyone else, and based on a sample size of "me" you do speak for everyone. That said. Yes, I think there is a probability approaching 0 that you speak for all of DC fandom.

Agree with the sentiment completely. TKJ should be consigned to history, but I always get antsy about using "We" when "I" is more appropriate.

Eventually you can unlock all in either grid. Standard Grid allows higher max lvls than Expert which is weird. However the way Luck works means that only HP ends up lacking a little.

I hate that the expert grid has fewer nodes than the standard.

Fair enough, but I lay the blame for that on MS for trying to deceive, inveigle and obfuscate, rather than on the journalists who were being non-committal in the face of a slippery statement.

They've always been weasel worded about it. It's only clear if you are fluent in corporate double speak. "It's coming exclusively to Xbox One in Holiday 2015" can just as easily be interpreted as this is an exclusive game that will be released in November/December. Tomb Raider Xbox exclusivity deal "has a duration". "I don't know where else Tomb Raider goes," could be interpreted as Rise of the Tomb Raider is Xbone exclusive, future Tomb Raiders may not be. Whenever MS have been asked "Is it a timed exclusive?" the response has never been a direct "Yes" it's always been "All contracts have a duration" or "It's coming exclusively in Holiday 2015". Contrast with PS that have the pretty straight forward "Coming first to PS4" or "Coming exclusively to PS4". You know where you are there.

I asploded someone so much last night that they signed off with "Victor is an ****". It was a great feeling.

I've not seen many people quit midgame. It's annoying when they do as they tend to get replaced by the aforementioned vicious AI. I don't get the point of quitting mid game anyway. It's a 5 minute match. It'll take you the best part of 2-3 minutes to find a new game. So you save yourself about 2 minutes and you look like a cry-baby.

You get 750 points for completing a game (vs 1000 for winning) so if you care about points, yeah there's a 750pt penalty.

Sort of a Neil Degrasse Tyson, Bill Nye accessible science guy, we don't have a lot of exposure to those two on broadcast, but t'internet fills the gaps.

Seems that the problem they have identified is that "customer cannot access our service to give us more money" rather than "customer wants control of his personal data back". They are fixing their problem, namely the broken revenue stream, and not your problem, stolen (or misplaced) information. Not entirely surprised to be honest.

Beyond the fact that it is a shitty thing to say in general. As someone who does not live in the US, I know that "war heroes" are virtually deified, someone who grew up there must be aware that public sentiment to war vets is overall positive. If you're running for office you should at the very least have the common sense and self restraint to hide your disdain. It's not the nastiness of the comment that gets me, it's the incompetence that led him to air that opinion in public.

A Dyson fan would be rubbish for vacuuming the house in fairness.

You cannot buy a nice hoover vacuum cleaner for £200. http://www.dyson.co.uk/

Not sure if Trump belongs in US Politics or Weird and Wonderful Web. The guy is a lunatic. I mean I don't really get why being a "war hero" is a good reason to elect someone to be in charge of a country, I think it's a rather American thing. But even *I* know that you don't take a pot shot at a guy who was a POW for being "not good at the war thing" while I was busy working my way up from Son of Millionaire" to "Millionaire". That's just silly. You might as well sit there and say "I think it's time we put this whole 'God' thing out with the tarot cards and horoscopes."

Yes. You can set how long the USB ports provide power while on standby.

I bought the pack with two ds4s at launch. I do typically have one on charge at all times. You could always attach a phone powerpack. It's all micro-USB after all.

Played again at lunchtime (yay working in the games industry!) Split screen online multiplayer?!? Could this game get any better?

Am I mental, or are we able to play cross platform? http://www.psyonix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=11396&p=222000&hilit=cross+play+party#p221998 I am not mental. Hope it gets sorted soon so that we can invite PC'ers into the rocket fuelled madness, rather than trusting to the matchmaking gods.

Same here. Never had an Xbox so I'm immune from the Halo halo effect. No interest in Destiny at this point.

@Dean: The image in the dictionary next to "Peak physical fitness" is this:

In this side by side... Batfleck/Fatman looks way "bulkier"... than Bale's version to me.

He makes for a pretty chubs Batman. Doesn't look like he'll be soaring over many rooftops. It'll hurt like billy-o when he lands on you though.

Curses, now my typo has been immortalised in a quote! EDIT: Honestly, it's a bit ridiculous to not do it. The whole thing was wrapped up neatly in a bow. Bale's Bruce flies off into the sunset with Selena, JGL's Robin spelunks into the Batcave, becomes the Batman carries on the legend. You can bring in a new director, a change to the man behind the cowl means you can completely revamp the style of everything, the car, the suit, the gadgets, the attitude. I just don't get why you would reboot when you could continue a winning formula. *shrug*

I thought the Nolan trilogy basically left it wide open Gordon Levit to take up the mantle. If rather have seen JGL be the Batman, or someone else take over his role than this bs Afleck reboot. It's like DC don't get what a franchise is. You have to keep building on it. Like Marvel are doing with Avengers.
