It's tough to decide. I've experienced as a student fairly liberal teachers who would swear and talk about their lives in lessons, as well as make jokes with students. Not to sound like 'hip' or 'cool' but just as a social kind of thing. With said teachers I got on more with them, became basically friends whilst teachers. It didn't weaken their teaching in my opinion, nor strengthen it. I think we knew that work was work, fun was fun and those two never really got mixed up. A year later when I hadn't got into Uni and I needed a job, one of those teachers (when I reached out for jobs on facebook) said that a Teaching Assistant position could be up for grabs at the school I'd left. So I went along, did an interview, all that and eventually ended up with the job. At that point, I was now a colleague of my old teacher. We didn't see much of each other since we worked in different departments, but we were pretty much the same combative and jokey selves. It was also funny going in to her lessons as her TA, she was really chilled with me when I thought she'd be quite stern about work (she was that sort of person). So my relationship with teachers hasn't been the norm, never encroaching on the romantic or sexual though (maybe thought a few teachers were attractive) so regard or disregard my experiences as much as you like. I was mainly trying to highlight the diversity of relationships students and teachers can have than just what you'd see in movies or tv series. I don't think having a relationship with someone who teaches you at an age when you haven't got full independence is as tough. I've heard of a few night class teachers getting together with students, but that's different because their both adults with jobs and opportunities a student at regular schools can't do. I also don't know if it's wrong if the teacher and student go to the same school but never have classes together. That is very different in my mind, the teacher/student dynamic is basically the same on paper but the experience and interactions aren't Like I said it's tough.
Thought the ultimate white guys food would've been crackers! Oy vey, the jokes...
Nintendo's PR is ok. They ride on the release of Mario and other first party games and the popularity from said games to not really need a lot PR, they just need to advertise a game well and it'll sell. Marketing a console on the other hand is their achille's heel. But i've just not seen great PR from any of the big three, Sony has done the best but I wouldn't call it ridiculously good, just good enough. I honestly think the PS4 sales have come from word of mouth and internet popularity more than from Sony, i've heard plenty of non gamers at my Uni make comments about PS4s being something they'll buy for their boyfriends or such. People say 'XboxO is **** because...' And then say 'just buy the PS4, it's better'. Might not amount to anything though since i'm part of the European demographic.
Is it an easy change then? Honestly i'm not in the know enough to guess if HTML thing is easy to convert to. I don't even knkw what HTML thing is. And we're a progressive, up to date website, apparently. I think we have a better website than most places that employ people, which is incredibly funny to me.
You've been saying that for like a year and everything I use still relies on Flash. Are you similar to one of those nutjobs who say the world is ending but it never does?
Not even that i'd say, they just have pretty good PR, it was Microsoft who had terrible PR that made Sony's PR look better. Even all the negative PR that Sony gave out like delayed PS4 features that won't be available at launch wasn't basically ignored whilst in counterpart, Microsoft got ripped apart by consumers for announcing the same things. The good and bad first impressions concept is very true in the case of the consoles.
My favourite Doctor is probably Alexander Fleming. Gotta love antibiotics.

You an claim that in a week or so i'm sure, but until it releases... I'm sure about 600,000 units will shift in Europe, possibly more considering the XboxO won't be initially available in some countries. It's kinda of tough to guess actually, off the top of my head. So we'll see, but that's a good endorsement from the public, so let's see how it goes now.
Ha, you guys are a great example of the internet community at its best. I really am so happy to see this, truly, its mind-blowing to think about this to me, seeing how it happened and then boom, wow! Ha, as much as I wish I could go, unless you move it to my continent, it'll be a bit tough... then again, you guys are expanding at a quick rate. Keep up that fight! : D
Disappointed, after the amazing gameplay and settings, with an amazing narrative and characters of The Last of Us. We've had three games of Uncharted and as nice as the set pieces were, it just was never as complete as The Last of Us, I really don't get why Naughty Dog want to do this a fourth time. Indiana Jones had a fourth film, and we know how well that was received. I bet the game will look like the most incredible game ever, no doubt, but I am sceptical you can make the story any better than it is, since it's really clichéd. If it got the modern Tomb Raider treatment, maybe....
Handsome and athletic I can get, but smart? I thought acting was a job you didn't have to have traditional intelligence in, social at best, but it's about replicating social behaviour. Don't have to be smart to do that. Side note, I know a couple people who have gone to the London casting call, meeting them tomorrow, wonder how they did.
Really shouldn't read articles whilst trying to fall asleep. Wide awake now. God, that's effing awful, I damn well hope this gets on national news in the US, I wanna see the bastards burn'
They say even if you buy an expensive present, kids only want to play with the box.
Sounds good, wonder how it'll go, shame it's a US only deal for now. If you guys make it a success then hopefully the rest of us can get it! Could argue this is what Kickstarters do, they're popular enough. I don't think it's inherently bad or wrong, it's up to the consumer to decide what they want. I'm fine with buying Season Passes if I like the content revealed, otherwise I just don't buy it.
Not exactly like what I was going for, and I think it's the other way around, 'nothing to fear, nothing to hide'. Usually we hide information about ourselves to protect ourselves, which isn't a bad thing, but if done excessively can lead to an anti social loneliness. I for years put off from going out with my friends, lying to them that I was busy or some such, because I was afraid of going out in public with them essentially. Scared they'd not like me outside of school. Being truthful about it, they were cool with me and never made an issue out of it. Being truthful is just how strong relationships form, that's the only way they form, just gotta be brave enough to be open about ourselves and of others. It's what i've seen, and also observed the opposite (last post of mine story) and it's just what I believe as a result. I said I get it, kind of. It's just been years since I've felt like that whole anon business, the distance makes me not as in tune with the ideals behind it as I use to be.
So i gather people don't like having a web life of their own? I never got that, well actually I suppose I did for a while but it felt unhealthy living as two separate people, two separate lives, felt a lot like lying to myself. This whole anonymous business feels like visiting a brothel, like you're lying because you want to do something socially 'wrong' and don't want to reap the repercussions of it. If you truly wanted anonymity, you wouldn't have an email address, a forum account, or anything, you'd be drifting as a guest on the web, or even safer, not at all. I get maybe taking a couple years on a website to warm up to someone before talking about your real life and being truthful, but if not, it seems strange to pick a social environment of the internet to then not talk, or worse to lie about who you are. On another forum, there was always this group of people who talked to each other and acted like friends for life, but they would never really talk to each other about their real lives, or the ones they did they lied (we learned soon after). They were all pretty bitchy and tight knit like a 'Members only' sort of thing when it came to their threads and would gang up on others together. In the end, with all the hidden identities and lying about real lives, they split and hated each other all because they couldn't trust each other. How can you when you won't even talk about who you really are? Seemed sad to watch honestly, all they needed to do was talk to each other like equals and with a degree of trust and they might have made friends for life. I feel like Google is taking this step so there are less people who are going to be sexist, racist, homophobic, insulting, bullying, etc because they'll be more open to scrutiny. Think YouTube might want to decrease their rep for having terrible commenters.
That vid was a minute too long. The other vid only had about 40seconds of gameplay and the rest an advertisement. He might be trying to mock the other vid, but in order to do that successfully, he needs his own video to be better than the original, which it isn't. Also, I will not have this discredit of Between Worlds, it looks pristine and the music is fantastic. I've seen the briefest of gameplay, and the new tools and magic actually solve puzzles that are new and fresh and make you think. Plus, it's a Zelda game, it's not being pumped out like Mario so it's more 'special'. Addressing the video btw.
Llave's bucket list 1) Make a better bucket list
Also this thing people believe that you can be blunt or tiptoeing only, why don't people just avoid bringing in feelings? Or the more productive, bring in positive feelings to engage the person better and make them try to understand harder. Wow I actually learnt something working as a TA...
