Got ten seconds in, would have to disagree.
I find her very visually upsetting.

And a nose ring to boot, how fucking undignified.
Different strokes for different folks.
I guess we'll just have to agree that I'm right.
Let's do the objectification drama again!
Oh I've seen that. I quite like body modification but that seems really impractical, especially if you're the type of human that eats food.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Yeah I saw this too. Most forms of extreme body modification I will never understand, especially since they always, always, always look like dogshit once you reach a certain age. I will give them this: it's a creative way to never get hired.
Ahhh life's too short. If someone wants vampire teeth or to look like a lizard I say go for it. It might not look that great to me but who cares. There's probably a whole club of lizard people (illuminati) that dig it.

To be honest I have no idea what the topic of the video was.
The title was something something Resurrection. Was she talking about our Lord and Savior or the Alien movie?
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Yeah it might. Too bad you'll never find out, that ship has sailed mate.
I just looked up our post history, we were pretty chummy at the start of things, who knows what could have been. I think our relationship hit the rocks when we started talking about Radiohead album rankings.
Kid A claims another set of lives.
We're not chummy now? This is all shits and giggles. You're second only to Ninj in my heart.
OK but once I get on it how do I join in with other BritGAFfers?
EDIT: I have installed the WhatsApp app (or should that just be the Whats app?) on my phone, but I don't see a way of searching for groups?

When are we meeting up?? You live in Manchester. I live in Manchester. Let's make it work!
Boss. You should come over, play video games, drink tea, meet the rodents.

Cool, I'm up for that. We'll sort out a night next week!

Sploatee did you know they eat guinea pigs in some Latin American countries? My ex and one of my friends have actually consumed a few of the piglets before while travelling there. They said they were pretty good. I'm conflicted because they are cute but I can also see how they could be delicious on a spit with some roasted veggies.

I may be, but not till the Saturday if I do. My company is running an Education Question Time thing and I interviewed all the panelists.
Yeah I knew that. It's one of the reasons I'm trying to go veggie this year once and for all. There's no logic behind what meat we eat and don't. It's just not for me really.

I think I'm in the final act of Bioshock now. I approve of this game, although I'm now basically the Bio Terminator with more money than I know what to do with. Maybe

The only solution is to eat everything. We are top of the food chain after all.
Have you been saving the Little Sisters or harvesting them for their sweet, sweet ADAM?
Would you kindly stop eating meat?
Evening UKGAF, looking for a bit of advice.
I was sold a phone last year by Vodafone under the pretense that i would get a 20% workplace discount every month. Then i noticed the discount was never applied, and apparently it's due to the deal i bought not being eligible for this discount, but i was never told this in store (i was actively told the opposite, they didn't even know about any conflicts with the deal i was signing up for). The in store staff acknowledge that they sold me the product with the agreement of a 20% discount, but they bloody thing still isn't sorted.
Is there something that protects me here, some sort of law? I want a bit of ammo before i go back in tomorrow for the 4th time...

Sale of goods act is a good one to quote, they admit it in store so should honour it, can you get something in writing / email? They have mislead you to obtain money at this point, which is illegal.

As somebody who used to be heavily involved in the britgaf soap, cheer the fuck up you miserable cunts
Shouldn't you be pissing up somebody's back?
I'll be starting with other humans. Apparently human flesh cooking smells just like pig meat being cooked.
I harvested one to see the animation and then have saved the rest so far. Without spoilering, how different is the final third if you're objectivist? For a game built on choice I hope it's pretty different.
Ok!
That was easy. I'll probably eat meat again, I'm just trying to phase it out. It's tasty but after watching slaughter videos and what not it's just reaffirmed my view that eating other living things is not something I need to do.
Morning everyone. It's Friday, isn't it. My get up and go went. Hoping today will be painless. How's everyone?

You should read this
Opened my eyes. Some of the shit in there is unbelievable like how they mass produce chickens.
Because they change the DNA of chickens to grow larger when they're in the cages or whatever even though they have no room to move around their legs snap due to the sheer size of themselves. The farmers or whoever cut the beaks off and sever the chickens wings so they cant flap anymore either. I'm sure he goes on about chicken flavoured power is made up of the beaks and legs

Nah it was her turn to get inebriated last night, I was genuinely scared for her life when I saw her unable to stand uo
Is there more big plot to come?
I'll backpedal a bit and say the theme of choice rather than choice itself. I wrote a big sophomoric jumble last night about the concept of self-determination in the game but it's for personal use!
Yep. Industrial 'production' of meat is horrific.
I did some research into kosher and halal slaughter as well and was left nonplussed. Seems pretty horrific with a bit of Avatar-style "thanks God for making everything killable by us" afterwards.
Get your arse back on whatsapp. Jed is mourning your loss.

No more big plot, I don't think. I always thought (possibly controversially) Bioshock was about the lack of or illusion of choice.
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
It has been a while, but is that not the consensus? That was what 'would you kindly' revolved around?
As an aside, The Last of Us: Left Behind is absolutely tremendous. I was lukewarm on the main game but this takes every complaint and amends it. The combat encounters are far more interesting, utilising both humans and infected. All of the combat is performed alone, preventing frustrating AI/animation flaws. Plus the interaction between the two leads is excellent. The 'joke book' part (being deliberately vague ) was one of the best bits of voice acting and writing that I've seen in a game and made for a very moving moment. It made me very excited for the potential of more non-violent big game experiences.

I dunno, man. Wasn't on the internet at the time and I've only been involved in discussions about Infinite since. S'why I put "possibly".
I'm a bit confused. Do you mean 'would you kindly' or in the sense that the choices you make don't really affect what happens?
my reading of it (so far) is that the only choice you have is whether to be altruistic or not regarding the Little Sisters - so it's effectively "are you like Ryan / Fontaine / most of the Rapture-ians" or are you not.
It totally made me think about "linearity" in games though. I was thinking last night that Bioshock is one of those games that functions as meta commentary on gaming I.e really about player choice (inc absence of) and how you are effectively being guided through a narrative by Mr Levine, Last of Us being about heroism and what constitutes heroism in a video game and (bit of a stretch) Dark Souls being an exploration of what a 'fail state' actually is.
Umm. Total pseud here no doubt but Fez seems to me to be totally meta about perspective and nostalgia - ie wasn't the world small when we all played 2d games back in 1992 and we were kids.
