I will admit that I laugh out loud at movies when I think other people will often just not. Like I'll laugh out loud at shit like The Importance of Being Earnest.
-
I can't either, but I guess I would just say there aren't many good comedies so maybe I'm actually the one that's hard to please. I'm okay with stuff just being enjoyable to watch, but if it's advertised as a comedy I want it to be FUNNY.
-
How can a comedy with 5-10 good laughs be "good"?
-
Well apparently 999 is generally considered to be done correctly, and I had a bored-to-tears time.
-
Arkham Knight. I know, it's not out for like 7 months, but there's nothing stopping me from cancelling it in the (extremely unlikely) event I change my mind.
-
Trial I had scheduled for tomorrow just settled. Suddenly gone from "FUCK NOT ENOUGH TIME!" to "hmm, I'm bored."

The rule that each side pays their own costs is called the American Rule for a reason; it's the rule in just about every U.S. court.
-
That's what I thought, but without having personal experience in more than about 3 very geographically close courts I didn't want to make a blanket statement like that. A lot of the general rules like that that they taught us in law school aren't quite as general as we were lead to believe.
-
True, but it's the default rule. There are specific causes of action created by statute, specialized courts, and so on with attorney's fees going to the victor (as well as run-of-the-mill attorney's fees). I had to do a memo on the American Rule for my EU-based firm when I was working abroad, so I studied up on it. Also had to learn all of the various state escheat laws. That German firm loved using me to produce memos that amounted to legal surveys of state law on various matters.

I just do not understand the appeal of visual novels. It's like a comic book without the convenience of being able to go through the panels at a reasonable speed.
-
South Park finally really hooked me. I've been enjoying it the whole time, but now it's got me to that point where whenever I'm not playing it I want to be. At my parents' house after having dinner with them and wondering how soon I can convince my wife to go back home...
-
That sounds a hell of a lot smaller than most story /DLCs/ I've played. And I'm usually reluctant to pay $15 for those.
-
I don't know if it's because I'm playing the episodes the day they come out, but it hasn't been showing me a recap of the decisions. Makes me sad. *Edit* - About the actual episode:
-
Gone are the days when you could drop-kick a Nintendo product down three flights of concrete stairs and have it still work find afterward.
-
I hold everything down about at my lap (unless I'm trying to read small things on my phone), so for me the best comparison is the Vita at 220 ppi, nearly 40% higher than the Wii U pad's. I don't have a 3DS. I do agree the contrast/saturation is a bigger problem, but the resolution is terrible as well. Basically it's just a shitty-ass screen all around.
-
I thought it was only retail games that got increased, not PSN.
-
The DPI on the Wii U pad is awful. The fact that you hold it close makes it MORE important to be high resolution, cause you can see all the pixels. When I hold the pad it takes up approximately the same amount of my vision as my TV, but has less than half the horizontal resolution, and everything looks really pixelated.
-
Just finished reading the links. Good stuff. Literally lol'd at "the Alliance military will shoot first and ask questions never when they come across your ship." Sounds just like them Alliance wang ba dan.
-
I'm so excited for this game too. Though the fact that it's online makes me somewhat wary.
-
lmfao
-
Nope.
-
I love the name, but the game itself doesn't really appeal to me for some reason.
-
I haven't noticed any pop culture references that seem like they're supposed to be current. The reviews I read also mentioned that, commenting that it was good that they didn't try to be super pop-culture-y so its jokes won't get dated.
-
I haven't watched the show in probably 7 years or so, but I still am getting most of the references (I think, I guess it's possible I'm missing them by not even realizing they're references, but I'm getting enough that it seems like it could easily be most of them). Has the show become super self-referential?
-
Been playing South Park: The Stick of Truth. It's weird, I'm really enjoying it while playing, but when I'm not playing I don't really have much desire to start playing. It's like the opposite of the Sims.
-
You guys jinxed it!
-
I can't believe we didn't have a thread for this yet. I so so SO want this game to be good, but the Alien series does not have a good track record, so I'm scared.
-
Well apparently part of Xbone's graphics problem is the amount of GPU time reserved for the OS and Kinect. From a Digital Foundry interview about Titanfall: So not only is Kinect a lame baby toy that you don't need, that makes the box $100 cheaper, but it's actually negatively impacting the core games that people actually want to play. Maybe now that Mattrick is gone MS can start backing off Kinect, since my understanding is it was really his baby.
