Im really surprised how well Shadows of Mordor has been reviewed.
Thought it would be another LotR game flop, I might have to get itSteam sale to the rescue
Newcastle is pretty good man, it's one of the best night's out in the country. Truth fact.You guys undersold Newcastle.
Which level are you up to? Cause level 20-26 is a desert.

Yup, that was fucking killer. 10 points to you.
I am genuinely curious to hear your view if you don't mind explaining.Nice edit, I don't totally agree with the message.

Just the whole we don't care about the bottom, we want to help the 'friends at the top'. That their polices are about only helping the top, instead of polices that stimulate the economy by increasing mobility of labour and so on. Transitional neoclassical ideas. Not to say he's wrong about their messages, I agree with some of the messages and am confused and criticise at Tory polices.
So I'm going through some essays to find a specific one and I see an essay entitled "Are video games a waste of time?" and reading it makes me want to find the author and give her a piece of my mind (I'm sure she'd love that, being tracked down by the exams officer and told she's fulla shit). She tries to argue that films are better than books because 'technology'. Gaming is not a waste of time because it keeps animators employed. But this is my favourite bit:
"The was reports of a man in America who got so consumed In a video game where you are the sole survivor of an apocalypse and have to kill everyone to maintain survival that when he left the confinements of his own home he was certain that people around him were trying to kill him and shot 4 men. This however was in America where guns are readily available so potentially if on a game your natural instinct was to pull the gun out of your back pocket and shoot people then this is reinforced into someone mind it would be like a reflex and very easy to mistaken able to do it in real life"
Yep. That's what a quarter of a million pound education gets you.
Its very popular to think that all humans are born equal in terms of thought processes, I think its called the 'blank slate theory'. It says that external stimuli are the sole factor in shaping a person, so when things happen like shootings; everyone looks for what was to blame in the persons past.
The thing is that genetics play a HUGE part in personality and how people think, 2 people bought up exactly the same way will interpret their upbringing differently and lead different lives.
With tons of people playing games these days, there are bound to be a few nutters who might get triggered into something but they could equally be triggered by reading a book or looking at a tree. The nature of standard deviation means that there will always be extremes in terms of personality whilst the majority lie in the average
I dont really know where I'm going with this but it seems related.
Yeah I agree with you, I think the "play games, might shoot people" link is far too tenuous and with the millions of people who spend lots of time playing stuff there would be a lot more evidence.
I was more blown away by this 18-year-old girls' utter inability to express herself clearly while making facile, unsupported generalizations. I expected better.
But really, most things are a waste of time, innit. Depends on your definition of what wasting time is.
Did she give a reference for the shooting? 0/10 if she didnt.

At first I thought you were saying the girl wrote a bad essay because she has shoddy genetics. Bit disappointed now.
Wow now I'm really disappointed, I thought that was the musings of a 15 year old.
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." - John Lennon
Speaking of Mr Lennon, that guy who shot him was inspired by Catcher in the Rye, books are clearly dangerous and in the interest of public safety I think books with violent or disturbing themes should be banned and we should think very carefully about who is allowed to own and read books. I think the best course of action would be to impose strict regulation of this dangerous past-time: no books without a license, no books for the mentally unstable or people with a criminal record, all books must be kept in a safe or lockbox. "Hardbacks" or Assualt Books to you and me should be taken out of circulation permanently.
Last night I played destiny for quite a solid amount of time.
Made it to the end of the raid then called it a night.
Tonight I shall with friends beat it.
I dunno what I'm going to do afterwards, probably take a break from destiny until Iron Banner.
Work today is dragging like hell, they also have iPhones in stock at the apple store.
I am deciding what to do...
they seem terrified of losing the right-wing conservatives to ukip and at the same time, not scaring off the working class cameron so clearly hates. millions of pounds in to the nhs? haha, you fucking backpeddler.
it all seems like a party that is scared and unsure of its identity.
Volotaire is David Cameron. I assumed that was known.Pretty sure he was referring to Mr Cameron there.
Yeah sorry I wasn't around to help out but obviously you made progress.
Iron Banner is the next thing I'm interested in for Destiny, but I also have my eyes on Alien Isolation and Driveclub this month, plus I want to try BF4 again at some point to see what the changes are like.
Volotaire is David Cameron. I assumed that was known.
That's alright buddy, may need you tonight if you're around, just for the last boss.
As Matt has to go out but we want to get this finished!
Yeah looking forward to Alien, Driveclub not so much.
Yeah saw the patch looks interesting, funny that it took a YEAR to get this game fixed.
But GG to EA and Dice for actually putting the work in.

"Please describe what you feel to be your two main strengths and two main weaknesses in your current role."
aww shit.
filling in a job application for a data management role (company car included), and I got to this part:
I've finished the positive side of it alright, but...shit. What kind of thing should I write as my weaknesses?
Applaud this man."inability to come up with adequate responses to bullshit weakness questions"
or
"1. counting to 2
3. see 2"
I think it's fair to say you're not that good with the public, right?
Pretty sure he was referring to Mr Cameron there.
Volotaire is David Cameron. I assumed that was known.
You could always try to pass off a positive reason as a weakness.
Something like "One of my weaknesses is working for too long and being too focused on work lolol".
Quite frankly, if I was an employer and I read that I'd be like "Ha, you're so full of it. cunt" and chuck the application in the bin.
aww shit.

So who else in BritGAF owns an Xbox One?
Or am I now an outcast?
You are the One.
bad joke
