Out of curiosity: What is it like for a beginner? From watching videos, it seems like the kind of game where it's almost impossible to do anything right on purpose until you've really mastered the game. I mean, did you feel that you really had some sort of control of where the ball went already from the start?

Nah, if you get an opportunity to explain it, it’s simply an extremely amusing anecdote, with the bonus that the other side of the discussion will get the reference in the future. I’ve explained it to two new people only in the last month.

I see where you’re coming from, but I personally haven’t made my mind up on where I stand on this issue.

I was reading this far down just to find the person who mixes motorsport into the picture.

Your idea of athlete is based on an incredibly far-fetched interpretation of the definition, which would also include competitive hot dog eating, and is far from how the word is used. Yes, you dislike it when people look down on esport players as lazy/weak geeks. That doesn’t mean that 99% of humans (including real…

DUDE. You need to start saving some money. And why aren’t you guys paying tax? Don’t you see what that does to your country? And Germany. Stop being an uptight self-righteous asshole. What the fuck are you doing? Are you two going to behave now? France, stop sniggering.

Huh. If I buy a game that runs ok on my computer, and a mandatory or non-reversible update suddenly makes it slower, shouldn't I be able to get a refund? I guess that it's a legal area that hasn't really been explored before, but if Ford issued an over-the-air update to my new-ish car that takes away 10 hp from the…

Hah, as a European kid I remember seeing this and thinking 'what kind of truck is that??', I'd never seen a truck with the engine in front of the driver in real life. I consider this (perfectly normal, thank you very much) Merc to be sweet revenge towards American kids :D

I could probably take a huge amount of amber and invest thousands of hours into building a scale model of a PT Cruiser, with precious stones for headlights. Replicating that model will cost lots of money. Finding anyone who think it’s worth paying that amount of money for an amber PT Cruiser model will still be…

I'm guessing that's some cosmic balance thing for all straight teenage boys who are spooning their female friends during sleepovers. So many awkward boners, so little actual sex.

After moving in with my gf about a month ago, we reached our first we-need-to-have-a-serious-discussion-about-things moment. It was about how she always closes the passenger door by the window (and it's a pillarless window too!). Now every time she closes it properly, I make a point of telling her how lucky I am to…

Videos like the one above is the reason why this site exists: http://bennyhillifier.com/?id=xNnAR-ihbj…

Ping pong balls?

I can't click the Youtube video (being at work), but if this is Chocolate Rain then I applaud you. Have a star, just in case.

Not in every country, at least when it comes to cars. I'd argue that Germans don't really consider Jaguar a more prestigious choice than Mercedes. Similarly, British people don't seem to have a huge preference for Mercs over Jags either. I'm thinking that the whole "import" thing might be a mainly American phenomenon?

Is there some formal definition of furries that says that it has to be real animal species, not fictional ones? What about extinct ones? Cryptids? Serious question, I would love it if there is a core community of only-currently-existing-animal furries that get really annoyed when someone dresses up as a dodo and…

So buying a used copy is only different from stealing if it's a game where you can buy DLC or play online?

Thank you, yes.

To me, the answer falls somewhere between some of the above cathegories.

I would be very, very surprised if Rowan Atkinson didn't beat you to it.
