The amusing thing about this whole "don't tell a woman to man up" etc. is that at the same point in time these same people claim that male dominated jobs need to be more "friendly to women", read: Guys should behave more like women because only then women feel "welcomed".

"Women start out severely disadvantaged"

Did it ever occur to you that most males would like more females being involved with video games but not by being told that THEY are the reason they aren't?

Are you advocating for equality on opportunity or opportunity in outcome? Because quite frankly, the way most of these "articles" read it's about the latter.

Require cars to look like they're from Mad Max?

So no season then? Sad :( Comparing this to pretty much any other new show that started this was way better executed (Hello Revolution, I am looking at you).

I would guess YouTube alone has that much if not more. They upload what? a days+ worth of video every minute? That's pretty much gigabytes a minute there alone.

Ah thanks. Not sure if I am sticking around BC for much longer, but I'll keep that in mind should things change :)

Haha. I find the handbrake a bit annoying actually. It seems to always spin me in a 720, even if I do only tap it. So much for a u-turn :/

Who are you insuring with? I was the the AMA insurance when I lived in Alberta and when I ended up totatlling my car it was completely painless to deal with them. They paid the ambulance / hospital bill right away as well as for a rental. The car was totalled and their appraiser was inspecting the vehicle within a…

Ah interesting. I only had one car so far, so the "plate exchange" thing never really came up (so far).

I lived in AB before I moved to BC and I found dealing with anything car related way easier in AB than I find it here in BC. Not to mention insurance was a lot cheaper. I paid $100/month for my car in AB, here in BC ICBC dings me $220/month for the bare basics and only has a "leisure driver".

That surprises me, because they clearly will refuse you to give you a new sticker for your plates if you have tickets outstanding. But I guess it fits with ICBC to do the minimal amount needed to make your life as difficult as possible.

Actually the way this works in BC is that the insurance is done by a Crown Corporation (ICBC) who also happens to issue license plates, drivers licenses etc. Yes, they have you by the balls.

There seem to be less load screens than there are in Forza itself, installing it on the HDD also reduces the wait times.

I haven't played the demo, so I am not sure what it showed you there, but the game itself has nothing in common really with Burnout Paradise, outside of it being sort of open world and is about cars.

And I laugh. Why? Because all the Apple fanbois in my vicinity just blew one. They like to think of themselves as oh so smart by selling their old iDevice a month before the supposed release of a new one and now they all got creamed. Amusing.

You can thank the current Conservative Government for that. They have cut back on food inspectors for a few years now, instead relying on "self-monitoring", yeah, it's working well.

Oh of course you're going of the rails here.

It's a fallacy to think that Western culture is more equal, we were once, but over the last 30 years we have abandoned a large part of our own society as well. We just manage to hide it better by employing bread and circuses and keep pointing at places that worse off.
