Apart from one tiny cliffhanger, the series ties up nicely, so enjoy it. It’s really *really* good once it gets going!

Yup.

Bugbear were the original Flatout devs, so it’s pretty much a given. That and the hollow career progression sounds just like it’s forebearers...

Are we really at the stage in society when a company openly correcting an accidental manufacturing glitch and taking ‘up to three hours’ to fix it is a bad thing?

This is a design feature. It sandboxes everything to a) prevent the whole browser going down if one tab crashes and b) prevent the tab interacting with other tab processes to steal data or exploit plugin flaws.

Recent versions of Firefox do this too, but group 3-4 tabs/plugins per process. It’s a half-way house on

The problem wasn’t LEGO churning kits out, it was TT Games being able to keep up with producing enough in-game content to justify the price!

When you think about it, GTA IV’s DLC was the blueprint for the GTA V main game - the DLC was basically the same story as the main game, told from two other viewpoints.

The did a big upgrade for Lord of the Rings and then massively overhauled the engine for the original LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. There’s a development video explaining the latter...

The core is pretty much the same, but if you go back and play the pre-LEGO Batman 2/LOTR games, then you’ll see how much they’ve moved on.

I just wish they’d had the balls to drop the Radiator Springs crew and run with a 100% new set of characters in a pure Bond/Bourne/Spy parody- McMissile’s rig infiltration at the start & the airport exfil were so exciting I enjoy re-watching them.

a) It’s apparently not great

Both games were great, but one is an adventure game with a few bits of grand strategy bolted on, whereas the other is the first proper real-time strategy (ignoring Herzog Zwei).

‘We Can Do It’ is a woman rolling up her sleeve, getting ready to work hard. The offensive gesture involves grabbing your bicep.

She’s pulling up her sleeve to show she’s getting down to work, not grabbing her bicep.

But surely books, CDs and DVDs go out of print all the time?

Nope, wrong.

I’ve *never* known any publisher to recall copies & update them - that would be a massive waste of resources.

The idea is between exits you move lanes appropriately without causing an accident - if you’re passing halfway around the roundabout, head towards the inner lane(s). Ideally the road or a sign on approach will indicate the ideal lane to take.

You missed the bit that generally you indicate the opposite way if the exit is past halfway (i.e. the ‘left turn’ option on the above diagram) then indicate back out of the roundabout.

Just as much as roundabouts seem to confuse Americans, it confuses me (a European) that they are confused by them :)
