Nonsense. Neither of them are the same, considering that Liam Neeson is Zeus.

What's with the Jynx hate? This is the second time recently someone's said Jynx is their least favourite pokemon. Why not a shitty pokemon like Lickitung or Goldeen? Jynx is an alright pokemon ya hear.
Welcome to BritGAF by the way.
'cause she's black innit, they're just racists.
Perhaps You Should Start A Thread On Gaming Side?
MAY ZEUS SMITE YOU!
Hahahahahhahahahaha!

A female at that not just racism but sexism like all people who play games are sexist
All went well. Just finished my eight hour shift.
We're all new, but even now you can pinpoint those who are lazier than others, making it look like they are doing something when really they are just stalling, not speaking to anyone and hanging around the back as much as possible.
I've made sure to get stuck in, speak to as many of my colleagues as possible and have already made some great friends.
Being on the till was awesome, but annoying as any age-restricted product (cigarettes, alcohol, etc.) had to have one of our higher-ups put a code in for us as we're still technically in training. So as you can imagine, having potentially one customer right after another buying that kind of product, it gets really frustrating to keep asking for them to do it for us.
I'm also useless at cigarette brands so finding them on the shelf is a nightmare.
We had one guy try stealing whiskey twice which was fun.
Majority of customers were really polite though and most seemed delighted this store was opening in their area, so I think it's going to be really popular and we're likely to see our hours increased.
Right now we're all on crazy overtime, but once it settles down we'll be on 16-hour (week) contracts.

Welcome Vaddon! Can I get you a drink?
Sensations certainly are rad.

You'll get the hang of it Vashetti. That's awesome that you are starting at the beginning of a new store opening up. I'm sure you'll have a great time with your coworkers and all the overtime at the start is pretty damn sweet, rare for base employees to get that so savor it while it lasts.

I'm liking the walking dead game but I'm not a great decision maker. Should I take the supplies from the car or just leave them? Halp.
Haha, I have to be honest, my pokemon knowledge is very limited. I just put down the first one I could remember that I didn't particularly like. And thanks!
Thank you! I'm alright for drinks though, think I'll wait until my third year at university begins.
Yep, they sure are! (And thanks a lot for offering to answer any questions I had about econ his in the other thread!)
I took it upon myself to resurrect it. You're welcome.
Question is, can you live with Clem knowing you're a piece of shit that steals from other people?
I don't want to shatter your illusions, but I think it's best you know that your decisions don't make a great deal of difference and that the the devs are always pushing you down a linear path with some minor differences.
I learnt that the hard way after playing the game on PS3 and then again on Vita, picking different choices. The game gives the illusion of big decisions and big consequences, but ultimately, you'll be going in the same direction as everyone else.

So I got Trine free on Plus earlier in the year and I just got round to playing it. It's pretty good! Would recommend to any other Brit-Plus-Gaffers who just download every free game every month.
It's like a puzzle-platformer where you can switch between three characters with different abilities. The puzzles usually involve pressing a switch or getting over a gap, but there feels like quite a bit of freedom in how to progress. Every time I complete a puzzle I think "that's probably not how you were meant to solve that one",

It's best played once - with the blinders on. Besides, some of the little differences do matter in and of themselves.

Mighty Aphrodite?
No probs!
Choices don't matter anyway so just go ahead it makes bioware choices look deep and impactful

Also, try and imagine it's not the most dull, overhyped, hackneyed, badly coded piece of shit that anyone ever told you was worth your time. Fuck me, that game is hot garbage.
I mean, plenty of games are, but quite how such a poorly conceived, shoddily constructed piece of software garnered such acclaim is beyond me.

Your favourite actor is dead.
At least he has nice handwriting and can still afford a pen and paper.
Very hungover this morning. Red wine and beer last night on my fourth night drinking. Far too old for this shit and am also out tonight.

Hi!
APHRODITE I ASKED YOU TO REMOVE MY MONOBROW I DID NOT WANT A FULL ARCH. ZEUS IS DISPLEASED
You can do it!
We're all new. It's just crazy right now because we only opened yesterday.
Everybody's on horrible times. It'll calm down next week.

Well done man
my first job was working at a supermarket too, I look back on it with a mixture of fondness and horror. It will give you a healthy disdain for the general public and it will make you more sympathetic of retail workers for the rest of your life. And sometimes you will go around other shops facing up and you will want to slit your wrists.

Guess who got tickets to see Chvrches at the Barrowlands this November.
Awww yisss.
that one guy does a lot of butt-touching.
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
Dem Yanks and their weird sporting behaviour.
He requested it according to the guys on the chat last night. Guess he needed a break or something.

Nothing wrong with a bit of friendly butt touching.
Hey BritGAF, I like pretty much never post here but as I'm sure a few of you have just been accepted in to Uni this year just wanna check something.
So when I applied to Uni 4 years ago you would apply for up to 5 places but then only pick between 2 places as your 1st and 2nd choice, essentially throwing away anything to do with the 3 you didn't pick.
Now my brother is going to be applying this year and whilst talking to him he seems to be convinced that 1st choice and 2nd choice means nothing as the Uni's you apply to can't see that information anyway and that if you get the results for any of the 5 you applied to, regardless of wether you made that Uni a 1st or 2nd choice, you will get in there.
So is this right? I mean I assume it's not as then why would anyone choose a 1st/2nd choice but thought I would ask as I didn't pay much attention to anything during my UCAS stuff and also I know how things are done can change.
