Rather Unexpected

The biggest issue, really... is value for money.

Here in the UK, we’ve seen a drop in customer service - at the cinema in my home town, there are less staff working at any one time, the place is not as clean as it used to be, and yet the prices keep creeping up.

What cinema needs is to offer an actually competitive

I dunno... I mean, if she were talking about Canada, you’d probably get better healthcare if you went back to *that* colony.

Also, everything the “British” royal family does is absurd. They are inherently absurd. They’re a nightmarish joke. They’re one big inbred European family who are directly responsible for both

Wait, who are we talking about now?

Because speaking as a Brit... we had a PM who basically got into the position because Tony Blair said “Your turn!” and he took over without an election. Then sold our gold reserves.

Then we had an election where the population was so overwhelmingly indifferent to all of them, due to

Timelords? You take your perversions outside, thank you very much. This is a family site.

When I first saw The Crying Game, it was at Uni (I was doing a film course), and I was the only student who immediately recognised the leading “lady” as being the evil alien sun god Ra, from Stargate.

It was absolutely hilarious seeing the look on everyone else’s face when that one scene unfolded.

Though to be fair,

Interesting fact - the Lyme itself (that one particular bacteria) is for the most part less damaging than the package that normally comes with it (you get bitten by a tick, it’s not just the one infection that comes across) - furthermore, Lyme absolutely screws with your immune system to a horrifying degree, rendering

Because they might actually start playing the game for real, instead of basically just playing pretend and making things seem much more exciting than they really are?

Whatever, I think Eve Online rather proves that even when you genuinely can blow somebody up, you can still have ridiculous stories evolving outside the

Can we maybe talk about the fact that digital distribution was supposed to (and for a time, did) reduce the cost of games? No physical publishing cost was supposed to mean lower price for the customer.

But the big publishers screwed us all over, and nobody complained. Remember MW2? That game possibly started it. A

In a few years, you’ll get some ISP boasting that with their “unlimited” package, they won’t throttle speeds or charge you extra for access to certain parts of the internet. Except of course, that package will cost much, much more than a regular package cost back before all this happened.

They’ll be seen as “the good

“Also, and this part is kinda self-explanatory, they advise everyone sure to steer clear of the fire.”

Despite the fact that the ships in question can survive for a surprisingly long time skimming stars.

Homeworld: Cataclysm demonstrates another branch of this issue that few people would even think of - Homeworld: Cataclysm is very old. It existed before World of Warcraft’s Cataclysm expansion.

Yet when re-releasing Homeworld: Cataclysm, at long last, on GOG? The name had to be changed, because of WoW’s expansion.

Litera

Eew, that’s just disgusting.

I mean, look at that decal limit. That’s horrible. The marks disappear almost instantly!

I have a similar issue with amazon - a shared account due to an amazon prime subscription, with different genders and ages involved.

So the system simultaneously tries to sell me beard oil and dresses whenever I visit the site. I feel like the algorithms are crying out:

“WHAT ARE YOU!?”

And the same reasoning that gives us repeated shows and films about Queen Victoria in which she has a pristine English accent.

In fact, this is the most hilarious thing about royals often being portrayed as having posh English accents - England hasn’t really had English royals since... I dunno... 1066. And even those

This particular surge on PC has happened due to the likes of Unity. The game in the above screenshot, for example, is a straight asset flip. They literally bought a pre-alpha set of basic assets and behaviours, compiled and released it.

Her bow ain’t got no string. I demand a refund.

Yeah it’s bizarre. I remember doing the challenge mode stuff, the offline singleplayer races against ghosts and whatnot, and practically howling at the lack of an actual multiplayer race mode.

Personally, had they just made it a purely multiplayer game, with those visuals, and players running around the city competing?

Space Marine had its moments, but Relic never really understood that Warhammer 40k is about *history*. It’s literally one big pastiche of human conflict. That’s the entire point.

Now Space Hulk: Deathwing? Has its issues, but when it comes to its representation of the setting? Flawless. Everything is absolutely

Bah, you skipped over the more interesting stuff. When the Emperor takes control, mankind had already spread across the galaxy... but Slaanesh’s birth, and the creation of the Eye of Terror, royally screwed up everything for everyone and mankind ended up scattered, all its colonies degenerating.

Earth itself becomes a
