I'm in a very productive mood today, got a fair bit done already. I have been at it since 6am, though, so I'm feeling drained. Tonight should make up for it.

I'm sat here reading mountain bike magazines. I had a pile of 20+ that I haven't had time to read and they've annoyed me so much that I'm now skipping work to tackle the pile.
Have you got a big night ahead?
Ha! There's profit in that!
For my part, I'm drafting these employee shareholder contracts for a company with a really complicated share structure. It's making my head go a bit funny.

That's a shame mate, it would've been nice for you guys to meet our respective lady fiends. Oh well, we'll catch up soon enough, def before crimbo. Even if it's just me popping round for tea and cakes.
Not too good, this damn cold I have is bad for the environment. I must have cleared a good acre of rainforest with the amount I've been blowing my nose the last few days.
At least today is a half day, work Christmas party later, getting taken out for the traditional Christmas feast of a Chinese buffet
not that I'll be able to smell or taste anything..

I keep getting recorded phone calls regarding PPI; I don't have any fucking PPI and never had any PPI.
If I could hunt the bastards down...

Date night, innit? Going round hers with a film, a bottle o' plonk and I daresay I'll rustle up something in the kitchen for us. Or order in a Chinese. Things are going well with us so, yano, I'm eager to see where things go.
This... this is going to get some use from me on another forum. Thanks Super Nintendo Chalmers.

Ugh at the feminist comment there. =/
Anybody who feel happy generalising "Feminists" is someone who needs to learn a bit more about the world. Maybe read a bit more?
Slightly OT but not to shut down the discussion about that (so more of a side question). How is everyone doing with their GOTY lists?
I find the whole voting thing fun but also I'm a bit confused. I know none of it matters but hey.

I've literally just played three games this year, two of them mobile.
I only do gaming forums for the off topic stuff these days. =/
I think the whole idea of banning a harmless sex act is ridiculous. I'm yet to actually hear or read of someone dying because their partner was riding their face. And even if they did die, they agreed to participate and knew the [extremely minimal] risk of being smothered or suffocating.
I don't participate in lists. My favourite game this year was a port of a PSP visual novel, so my tastes are far too niche for a voting thread.
I think it's banning them from being filmed and sold for money, is it not?
Even so, that's the Government's way of saying "No! Naughty! You're not allowed to enjoy that!" while they themselves spend our money buying adult films with the exact same sex acts in it.
Not quite, but whatever. Is it no longer allowed to disagree with a Government decision?
Smile, greet and shake the interviewer as you walk in. Don't hunch or show any signs of laziness, move forwards and hand motions when talking. Take your time when answering questions with a little pause for thought at the start of each answer. Use the STAR method for answering situational awareness or problem questions. This isn't an interview. It's a 2 way conversation between the interviewer and you. They're looking to see how you apprach problems and you're way of solving problems if it's a problem based/technical interviews, less so with competency style interviews.

Lucky for you I'm something of a body language expert. There is only one thing I would advise: Don't - and I mean DON'T - get your cock out and waggle it in people's faces. Yes, even if they ask politely.
You're welcome. Good luck!
I agree. They need to face up to this issue rather than bury their heads.
I don't like bothering the GotY lists since I can never remember what I played throughout the year or whether it was even released this year or if I completed it (probably not) and if not should I even be allowed to consider it my GotY
Smile. Be friendly. Don't sit with your arms folded. Don't fidget. If you don't understand a question, feel free to clarify it with your interviewers. Make sure you have questions to ask them - do some research on York uni and on current legal hot topics.
So fancy! Well, maybe we should do a BritGAF game of the year? There's like 10 of us that post here regularly, so it shouldn't be too hard to do
METAL GEAR RISING PC || GOATY (Game Of All The Years)
Then probably, I dunno:
Dark Souls 2, Dota 2, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Fifa 15
2nd best game of 2013. Can't wait for MGR2.

Good choice. Love the Jetstream Sam DLC.
Sploatee! You like Platinum, right? MGR is magnificent.
Took me a second, LOL.

My games of 2014 from what I remember:
Titanfall (PC)
Wolfenstein: New Order (PC)
Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
Shadow of Mordor (PC)
I cannot think of anything else I bought that was released in 2014 so they sort of win by default. I did omit Watch Dogs.
Edit: New page post; I have done that twice today. I usually end up as the last post.

BUT don't ask questions if the information is easily retrievable from the law department of York's website, etc.
Yep. You're right.
Anyone seen the steam auction thing? I bid on a few games but have nowhere near enough gems to have a chance of getting anything decent, only some really obscure games
Vanquish is really good as well.

Not really a fan, personally. I really wanted to like it too. It gave up everything it had in the first hour or so and the shooting made me feel like I was slapping enemies with a rapid procession of wet paper aeroplanes.
CyanideFuse

Yes Vanquish is a brilliant game.
If played correctly.
That spoiler is a joke because if you don't like it then you are generally playing it wrong!
:
But yea, I can see why some people don't like it. I personally wouldn't mind a game where I hit people with wet paper planes if I could do so jet boosting around.
i can't even tell if this is serious or not
Disagreeing with me again?
What a fucking surprise.
Yes, the post is serious. These are the three games I have played most this year. Piss off.
Screaming Meat
Unconfirmed Member
Yeah, I got berated for saying I didn't like it in an LTTP once. Everyone told me I was playing it wrong. Was I meant to use the controller with my feet or something...?
well obviously. You liked Vanquish, after all.
The jetting around was really great... for the first couple of hours. It's not exactly Platinum's best effort. At least it isn't as disposable as Anarchy Reigns.
CyanideFuse
Member
Was it Vanquish that sort of coined the phrase of "not playing it right"? It always seems to be attached to that game.
JETTING AROUND NEVER GETS BORING!!!!!!!
Anarchy Reigns was pretty meh, and Madworld before it. Infinite Space is secretly Platinum's best game.
Screaming Meat
Unconfirmed Member
No idea. It's a dumb way of dismissing dissent.
Ooo alliteration!
CUTTING EVERYTHING INTO TINY PIECES NEVER GETS BORING!!!!!!!
Never played Infinite Space or Madworld.
Madworld is a single player Anarchy Reigns. Infinite Space is a VN/Space Sim made by an eroge dev that platinum had... some involvement in.

Incredible.
As for the banning face sitting in British porn thing... who actually watches stuff made here? I've never consciously seen any. I imagine it looks fairly similar, the only difference is that instead of the usual "oh, yeah, fuck me yeah! Oh fuck, holy shit yeah", British made porn goes "oof! Cor' blimey! Roger me! Roger me right fooookin' 'ard!"
Also my GOTY would probably be Dragon Age: Inquisition if it didn't have more bugs than Starship Troopers.
A remaster and a Fifa as GOTY?
I'm not even doing my "lol cyanide" act. I'm just genuinely surprised that this is actually the way that people think.
Bloodborne, MGSV and Zelda U need to hit so this shit can end.

Odd. I thought it generally went like this.

Re Platinum - I'm kind of Platinumed out the moment. But it's on my huge Amazon 360 wish list.
My GOTY would probably be Mario Kart 8. It doesn't try and change the world - it's just tremendous fun to play.
I know I've only had it a week but Titanfall might be up there too. I'm having a blast with it.
There've been some good games this year for me (TxK, Bayonetta 2, Wolfy, Destiny (for a while at least), Dragon Age) but those are the two which my gut is saying I'd want to play at any given time.
I guess I just preferred the pick-up-and-play-and-get-an-adrenaline-rush-and-make-you-smile games this year than all of these supermega budget games.
(Obviously Dark Souls and Ikaruga are better than everything else, but they don't count ! )
