It's got lots of shit on it.
I haven't even finished SS yet, not because of time but because its dragging.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through SS (at a guess). The first temple and a few hours after that (so about the first 10 hours) were treading on extremely familiar ground, but after about 15 hours I found I was really enjoying it, and though it sticks close to the Zelda formula it actually plays with said formula quite a lot and does a lot within those bounds, messing up as much as it can.
If you asked how many dungeons I've done, I couldn't even tell you because there are sections in the meat of the game that could easily be considered dungeons but just occur outside.

I had an interview with ato last year and they said they put all their newbie uni grads in the call centre for their first 3-4 months
Good thing I had no intention of working there!
That makes perfect sense.

That's good to hear. I actually just started playing SS, I just had the second portal open up for me. I thought the game was feeling short, good to hear it is long.
I have not played zelda since the top down on the gameboy and i am loving it.

Reposting from OT. I don't quite understand how women are better than men purely based on the Bolded fact. All that means is that Men get it right 1st in most cases and women just sit there for an extra 5 minutes reparking till it is perfect. This study baffles me.
"A study out of the U.K. found that women are better at parking than men.
National Car Parks, or NCP, is a large operator of parking services in the U.K. The company surveyed 2,500 drivers and rated them on different aspects of driving over a month. With the maximum score of 20, the survey rated women an average of 13.4 and men on average of 12.3, reported The Daily Mail .
"I was quite surprised by the results because, in my experience, men have always been the best learners and usually performed better in lessons," driver instructor Neil Beeson, who designed the test, told the news site.
"However, it's possible that women retain the information better. The report shows that men need to give our partners more respect when it comes to parking. The facts don't lie," said Beeson, who was featured in the documentary, "Last Chance Driving School."
According to a news release from NCP, the survey rated how well each sex successfully completed the following parking tasks:
Appropriate space-finding speed 64 percent (men), 92 percent (women);
Good or very good "pre-parking pose" 53 percent (men), 77 percent (women);
Reverse into space 28 percent (men); 39 percent (women);
Forward into space 72 percent (men); 61 percent (women);
Speed of maneuver 16 seconds (men); 21 seconds (women);
Reposition shuffle 29 percent (men); 56 percent (women);
Central finish 25 percent (men); 53 percent (women).
The study also tested an ability to correctly position the car before entering the parking bay. It found that some 39 percent of women chose to back into a space (which driving instructors prefer), compared to 28 percent of men, according to The Daily News.
And while 53 percent of women parked centrally in the space (compared to 25 percent of men), 56 percent of women would readjust their car (compared to only 29 percent of men)."

Only 25 percent of men parked centrally in the space. So doesn't that mean that Men get it wrong in most cases and then don't bother to correct it?

Yeah. I saw a pic of her, I'm not surprised she was so angry and ban-happy. She had a mustache. I am not kidding.

Ugh, hate it how people prefer reverse parking into bays. Into parallel spots, sure, but other bays? What exactly do you gain? It's much slower to get in (going from an open space into a constrained space), and only marginally faster to get out (going from a constrained space into an open space). Why would you bother?
Now that's not very nice!
Anyway, I suck at parking. No amount of parking sensors or reverse parking cameras can save me. It's worse when someone is waiting behind you when you try to park because you just know they're judging you.
I (try to) reverse into parking bays because it's easier to get out when you leave!
What am I supposed to say? "She had a lovely mustache, it was a beauty to behold" ?

Yea suppose depends how un-central they were, i made the assumption not being parked perfectly but still an acceptable park.
That is kinda what i was going for, what does it prove or achieve? such a waste of time and i am sure resources from somewhere.

It's an ugh because I have to wait for these people to reverse in. My time's far more important than yours, random stranger!
Unless you're speeding out of the bay at a million miles an hour, have zero spatial and situational awareness skills, and have no mirrors and a blocked view at the back, you're never likely to hit someone in a carpark. If all of those things apply, you were lucky to make it to the car park at all.
Better.
never ever drive in sydney deek
you get that when you are doing 65 in a 60
edit: food for thought there was some stats on the tv the other day about revenue from speed cameras
Victoria $248 million
NSW $78 million
I know speed cameras in Vic are nuts, but wow at the difference.
from what ive heard its
64 in NSW before u get clocked but they don't fine until 66-67
Victoria 63 and they fine at 63
WA they fine at 61 (LOL WA thats ridiculous)
edit: a few years ago a victorian MP had the amazing idea to fine people for driving to slowly through speed cameras
Peak hour would have been bank time!

Yeah if you get 'done' at 62, then you're fined. However fixed (or is it the ones that aren't fixed...) cameras have to remove 3 or 3%, whichever is higher. I think.

Choc's emails scroll across his windshield.
I have my license but I hate driving, I know at some point I will be forced to pour money into a car but that day is not yet. I want a mini though.
I was IRC friends with Dragona for years until we lost touch, and she introduced me to GAF - but I never actually saw her.
EB said no to matching on twitter, so I'm asking again in a different way. I want my evidence!
Edit: They still said no

This sounds cool actually.
Stay awhile, and listen!
Especially if you had Choc's email address.
That wouldn't piss him off near as much as:
