Could be that they have pleaded (pled?) guilty. That would mean you can jump to sentencing right away.

I tend to tip around 10% ish whenever I have table service. I find the concept of tipping at the bar utterly bewildering. The guy turns a tap on for 10 seconds, then turns it off again, or worse, gets a bottle out of the fridge and opens it for me. Why on earth would I pay extra for that? In fact, paying for stuff in America is really annoying because prices are always more than advertised, items in shops, they don't put the tax on the shelf ticket, everywhere else, you have to pay a tip. Charge for things properly America!

Bonus points for noticing Turban+Chin and Eyeballs + Nose = Crudely Drawn Penis.

I was wondering when someone would wyrm a terrible pun into this thread.

Bugger!

You're both on the outside of the Em-aye-double-ess-aye-double-ess-aye-double-pee-aye. Fixed!

I beated The Swapper on the Vita. It has a pretty cool Event Horizon-ish vibe to it. Recommend.

This is my favourite example of that: Without the context it looks like they've drawn a black woman as a monkey. When it is actually taking the piss out of a far right party who genuinely posted this:

You take that back!

I liked the bit about the Metropolitan Muslim Fashion Police who wound people that aren't in Muslim attire.

My only real issue with TLoU is that I felt like I was forced to leave areas that I wanted to explore because it was populated by enemies that I had to stealth past. I would love to be able to just walk around and soak up the atmosphere in each area.

Would love to know why. I absolutely loved it. Expectations too high? https://ihateloadingscreens.wordpress.com/2015/01/04/the-last-of-us/ I see. I don't agree to be honest, I think that TLoU told a great story, the lack of soliloquies from the protagonists was a good decision, when I'm talking to people when we're out and about it's normally in a couple of sentences, rather than a five minute speech, it felt more real to me. As for back stories, people's pasts are alluded to and Left Behind (which I have yet to play) adds more story to Ellie's journey. The crafting, combat and exploration gameplay all felt great to me.

o_0 did you just link know your meme as a news source? Are you suggesting that the attack didn't happened because news relating to it is available on Know Your Meme?

Agreed, I mostly plat'd UC games because they were playable in chapters which made collecting stuff easy to go back and do, also getting the weapons trophies because you could jump into a chapter where you knew x weapon was and replay it a few times, which also improved proficiency with that weapon, making crushing easier. 3 ruined that streak for me as a result, I never played it on crushing because as soon as I knew I was never getting platinum, I didn't grind out the other trophies.

The what?

I don't have a problem with boosting from an ethical pov, I just can't be bothered to do it.

Didn't meant that to sound as boastful as it did. Actually, platinumed 1, 2 and golden abyss. Not sure why I didn't do 3. May have to go back to it. Oh wait, now I know why, all the stupid MP trophies. Win x game mode 5-0. Yeah, no.

OoT was my first proper zelda. I am now totally bored of the repetitive nature of the series. Find slingshot, find hookshot, find bow... Every Zelda game feels like fan-service to me.

I platinum UC's routinely. Crushing varies for me between being a fun challenge, and hair tearingly frustrating depending on whether enemies are standard (can be head shotted) or are ridiculous bullet sponges.

The crushing sense of inevitability upon entering an open space with numerous chest high walls. *sigh*

It wasn't that you pointed out that we have an "Introduce Yourself" thread, it was the fact that you did it in the most FDS way possible. I imagine many people would refuse to learn if they aren't supported. I wouldn't expect anyone to walk in here and know everything already, for example, Drake probably doesn't (or rather didn't) know that you are a bit... abrupt... and I would have for them to think that the rest of us are that unapproachable.

MS never give sell through numbers. Especially when they are being spanked at the tills.

Yay! Buzz Killington arrived! Welcome Drake! Hope you enjoy the place.

Well, I was referring to the Witcher. Sorry to disappoint, you'll just have to get your own escort. I'd go Eyre Affair and then The Big Over Easy.

Thanks Vecha for Goat Sim and Prison Architect (with bonus Uplink, Darwinia, DEFCON and Multiwinia)! I will now have something new to play during long, tedious conference calls. Productivities loss is entertainments gain.
