... which is to say that you’re more likely to get struck by lightning while involved in an orgy with Sasquatch, a leprechaun, and some sexy unicorn you met at the DMV than you are likely to match every single number on a drag timeslip.

That actually sounds pretty good, and I happen to have a pineapple in the kitchen...

I’m going to give that a go tomorrow for lunch, cheers :-)

An interesting take on the issue, something I’ve seen myself over the years - a new boss comes in and decides what is needed for people to do their jobs without necessarily understanding what the job is or even asking the people involved what their opinion is.

I may have mentioned this before, but some years ago I used to do a lot of work with various police forces up and down the UK.

Cool. Never heard of that one, cheers :-)

Lovely job. One of them looks like it may have been inspired by the British TSR-2...

I noticed today that the Pokestops are giving out way more stuff, and for me it’s great.

In one of the early CoDs you could do that. The single player came on one CD and the multiplayer on another, with separate CD keys.

If it’s your kind of thing, there is also a line of jigsaw puzzles in the works too...

I have to say I like this article, and I agree on the whole with many of the points you make. While I have been a PC gamer since the late ‘80s and never really been a fan of consoles, I do believe there are certain genres that benefit from the different control types.

There’ll still be a huge demand for oil - plastic is made of oil, for example, but yup, it’ll hammer the oil companies and countries hard.

Kids these days...

I just scrolled down and saw this and I thought I was going to wet myself laughing, but the kids are in the room so I’m having to stifle it and nearly give myself a hernia.

For once, this phrase is entirely justified...

I’m a guy, married with two kids, but I often roll female characters in games and it’s amazing how often you get offered stuff and get filthy messages because people think you’re a woman.

Those narrow lanes are country lanes and they’re not two lanes - they’re single track with passing places. I’ve lived on several roads like that and it doesn’t stop people driving down them at 70mph or faster, or driving past a passing place until they get to you, then throwing their hands up and expecting you to…

Looks like hydroplaning to me. I had it happen a couple of times in certain spots on the M25 when it was really raining hard, although not as bad as that.

In the future, BMW predicts all female riders (and probably quite a few guys too) will be cosplaying Black Widow...

Ooo... I get to bust out my engineering joke!
