    Not really no. A lot of prices drastically went up or down (mostly up) the moment we dropped our national currency for the euro, but video games prices have remained stable for as far as I can remember.

    So 60 euros for a console game and 40 euros for a handheld game. Snes/GB games were actually a tad pricier, not to mention NeoGeo games lol.

    Sure, some overhyped games occasionally flaunt a 70 euros price tag, but I' ve also seen underhyped games whose price was cut by ten euros (for instance I bought The Four Heroes Of Light for 30 bucks). It seems to be a case by case hype-related scenario rather than a global trend.

    It seems you can now buy tickets for a trip in space, in case you' d like to check it out for yourself. I' m not even joking mind you. I know that we can mindlessly regurgitate spoonfed conclusions and still get good grades in school (in fact, in many ways, we' re encouraged to do just that), but the reasoning that led to those conclusions is out there, feel free to challenge it.

    The worldwide historywide conspiration theory doesn' t exactly seduce me. Scientists however could have defined the label "space" inacurately, that would be much easier to swallow. Happens all the time. Science does not give us certitudes, it gives us predictability and reliability. It' s a pragmatical tool.

    And it is actually a Sa-Ga entry, not a FF. Square just stamped Final Fantasy on the box to boost its sales in the US.

    I' d wager this is just you becoming a teenager ? Arguing for the sake of it over anything and everything is like their job description. Goes with the hormone bomb thingy.

    It will pass. The hormones I mean, not the fact that you' re becoming territorial. Hopefully you' ll learn which battles to pick and how to wage them calmly.

    Looks like someone forgot what was written at the feet of the statue of liberty.

    But then aren' t the Kosh brothers financing the tea party ? Just one of their many ways to actively screw America, but hey, gotta keep looking good on TV ! Guess what Coke, you reap what you sow.

    When I was younger I used to put sugar in my coffee, my dad kept telling me it makes it taste like syrup. When I became a student I went through a rough patch and had to be stingy with my wallet, so I stopped buying sugar and drank my coffee black. When my wallet got better I bought sugar again and ... bleh, he was right, it does taste like syrup.

    So no sugar for me. Milk ? Yeah once in a while. No idea what it is that you call French vanilla, but if it is chantilly cream then **** and yeah, bring it on !

    Not really, no. It does share themes with the book, but it changed several plot points to insert its own themes.

    The upcoming movie will show the cohabitation between humans and apes, a topic which is only mentioned briefly in the book but definitely deserves some focus. If it' s anything like the first movie they' ll treat it as an action oriented summer blockbuster but I' ll take what I can get.

    Totally, however the line between expressing a personnal, tolerant viewpoint and hate speech can be quite blurry, especially in the guise of comedy. France certainly has its hands full with that very problem right now :

    I' ve been on the fence for some time, the guy deliberately stays in the gray area, but the longer he does that the more suspect it gets. The more I find out about him the more I think he' s an asshat. Problem is censoring his shows might have been a Pyrrhic victory, it only advertized him an rallied even more support in his favor.[DOUBLEPOST=1390810074][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Yes thank you. I didn' t quote the full thing but that' s exactly what I was hinting at.

    You could totally crash at my place but uh, Oneida County is a little far. I hope you' ll find somewhere to go and I hope things will get better between you and your parents (my youngest sister and I have been there).

    Yeah it' s nothing new. When cellphones weren' t around it was credit cards, jewelry or, well, money. Those are still going on.

    It might seem stupid to you, but the fact that they' re willing to hurt or outright kill for it should tell you how desperate they are. A few years ago I was working at a mall. One day I saw a kid walking around with a "petition" on the parking lot. His French was awful. He asked me if I could smuggle a banana from my workplace. The discussion went south, then my boss showed up and kicked him out. I realized later on he was probably a victim of modern slavery, had I known sooner I would have bought him ten bananas and freaking cookies.

    Traffics, human or not, are hard to track down because, like the article says, they ignore borders. To counter their inefficiency some governments are trying to shift the legal blame on the end buyers. My country just shot down a law proposal suggesting to fine hookers clients.

    Time is money. I don' t mind waiting either but if it takes them three more years to make the game they' ll have to shell out three years worth of salary per employee.

    Remember Agnis Philosophy, SE' s five minutes long next gen demo ? Took them six months to plan it and six months to make it.

    I' m right there with you. Fake news aside the reality isn' t that far off. Hilarious at face value, but then I remember that Kim Jong Un is basically King Joffrey and my smirk fades real quick.
