    The lousy web browser ?

    If you come up with that kind of number technically you should be able to log on the PSN.
    Even if the signal strength kept having hiccups your PSN would lag or outright freeze, but you' d see something.

    I forgot to mention that sometimes my router enters buggy mode and ignores one of my devices for a while, even if I reboot it. Might be because I plug too many stuff at once. Have you tried turning everything down, rebooting the router and trying to connect the PS4 before connecting anything else ?

    Mine is two floors above and working. Only times I got that message was when I made a typo when entering the key, but in those cases the connection tests failed. No wait, I was also supposed to press a button on my router before I' d connect a new equipment for the first time (the one with a wifi symbol on it). Once that button was pressed I had 30 seconds to quickly connect, otherwise the connection would be made but the router would ignore it. Thirty seconds to run up two floors and press some buttons, took me a few tries. ^^

    I wish I was nearly as good of a cook as my mum.
    I have a few aces up my sleeve though, especially when it comes to cakes. My Tarte Tatin isn' t too shabby.

    In my country in order to buy a gun you have to get a hunting license first. It involves written exams and practical exercises, and requires to go through a physical and psychological medical exam. So basically it' s very similar to our driving license.

    Our government recently suggested to lower the penalty for driving without a license, proposing a 500 euros fine instead of jail time. I don' t have a clue what our politicians smoked the day they came up with this, but the public reaction was a massive ARE YOU GUYS NUTS ? Why you' d want to treat gun ownership any differently is beyond me.

    But here' s the twist : you don' t. A quick look at the polls shows it. You just live in a country where money is speech too. Oh hey look, republicans are tantrum filibustering common sense measures approved by 90% of the country. Must be Tuesday.

    Couldn' t help but notice. xD
    Some things just cannot be translated well.

    By the way, in case you didn' t know, "vol de mort" is French for "death burglary" (bit of an awkward way to imply "death cheater").
    It can also mean "flight of death".
    If memory serves there are other French puns peppered through the books.

    Oh god yes, I didn' t mind having to grind since I' m used to playing RPGs, but these tanks were ridiculous. They' ve managed several times to survive the entirety of my ammo stock, drops included, even though I kept my weapons as upgraded as they possibly could at all times. Didn' t find the AIs or the dinos to be nearly as tough though (Peace Walker aside), granted they' re still a bit lengthy.

    Judging from what you' ve said you' re nearly there. Besides the dating mission on the beach is pretty funny.

    I think it' d be pretty funny if one of the HD cross dressed Cloud models looked like ... Lightning. xD

    Woo boy, you should see the French version. Some sentences don' t even make a lick of sense. Not until you translate them word by word in English that is, which leads me to believe that ...

    a) they translated the English version, not the original Japanese (Chinese whispers anyone ?)
    b) they hired a Spanish cow to do the job.

    Not that professional translators can' t make mistakes or weird choices. For instance the French FF IX has its moogles shout Coubo instead of Kupo.
    Why might you ask ? "I just thought it sounded sweeter", said the translator in an interview. M' kay ...

    I doubt knowing there are shelters around is much of a factor when it comes to abandoning your kid. This isn' t the kind of action one takes lightly, you have to be pretty desperate to resort to that. Same goes for abortion, just because it is now an easy thing to do doesn' t mean people do it lightly. I mean sure, there might be a few people stone hearted enough to think nothing of it, but I' d wager it would take a pretty heavy tall on most women.

    Sometimes it' s pretty useless to teach a man how to fish because the truth is he won' t be able to afford a fishing stick anytime soon. Sometimes giving a fish is the best course of action. Yes, it will teach some people to sucker you out, but they' re in the minority. Says the data mind you, not just me, though I' m afraid I don' t have any specifics at hand right now (and frankly feel too lazy to dig them up).

    Doesn' t mean you can' t think of security measures to counter the loopholes. For instance in my country in order to access social security you have to prove that you are indeed looking for a job. It' s not perfect mind you, people can still cheat the system out, but they keep thinking of new ways to try and improve it.

    Most famous is the whole Don Corneo infiltration / transvestite Cloud thing.
    There' s also the dating scene you get the first time you reach the Golden Saucer. If you' ve made it your mission to be a perfect and complete ******* to all of your female teammates every chance you get, you end up dating ... Barret. That scene was hilarious.

    I used #4. I didn' t think of using mime though, I used four Attack All and four Attack x4. My Cloud had 255 strength anyway so ... yeah.
    I' ve never played the English version so I' m not sure I got the materia names right.
    Calling it cheap would be quite the understatement, I literally put the controller down.

    Couldn' t get Ruby not to eject Cloud so I lost patience and beat it with my 255 magic character, just throwing meteors and healing when needed.

    The one and only game I really want to play on that console. No wait, there is also that one Zelda game, but the WiiU is such an epic fail they' ll probably release the next Zelda on both the WiiU and its successor. That' s a lot of money for a couple games, and since I don' t expect more of them to be announced at this point ... I think I' ll pass.

    You might also want to bring the stink to the Church. If his schizophrenia is documented there might be a legal way to bar him from making donations. I don' t know if that' s feasible, nor which authority should be contacted, but I guess it wouldn' t hurt to contact the ACLU and see if they can give you pointers.

    Google already has a voice command option but it messes up most of my searches, I tried it mostly for the lulz anyway.
    Besides I' d rather read up the answers, it' s a hell of a lot faster than listening for me.
    Not to mention I have no clue how this machine could possibly come up with a definitive source.

    "Alexa, do I still have a brain ?"
    "No."
    When I was a kid I was promised flying cars with a TV set and a Super Nintendo in the back.
    I am not disappoint though, flying cars not existing are the reason I still have walls.
    Erm ... don' t ask ?

    Huh ? I get the last part if that allows you to control several computers with a single tablet but ... switch ? I' m not following. I don' t have to switch, never had to.

    Same here. I assume he means now he can watch his movies on his bigger TV while keeping his lazy ass on the couch or something. That' s pretty much the only use I have left for dual screening, but my computer is a laptop as well so I can just put it on my bed at arms length. My TV is already close to my bed so cable length isn' t an issue.

    How about Cube ? Okay, not teenagers but still.
    Or Silence of the Lambs ? Okay, technically not a slasher.
