Yeah, after something like almost 10 years?

Yeah, it's like the DNF of indie games, I'm impressed so far though. I haven't done many missions, just tearing it up in free roam mode which seems as addictive as the original GTA so far. The sheer amount of 80's references so far is staggering, you can tell every inch of the game is a labour of love. Cool music too.

I was just thinking you were announcing you were gonna be a dad or something.

For the record Rory, I didn't expect anything less. I saw a troll spoiler coming from a mile away. Nice try.

Rory you are a comedy god.

Was it that hard to make a ponytail?

When my dad owned a motorcycle, I always bugged him about growing a ponytail. Unfortunately, due to a bike accident about 6-7 years ago, he sold his bike. He was driving slowly through a construction zone on the Trans Canada Highway somewhere in Ontario where the person in front of him slammed on the brakes hard. He doesn't have the reflexes like he used to (getting old probably does that), so he didn't brake in time and his leg smashed up against the bumper of the car in front of him. He shattered his shin bone. He was only going around 20 km/h.

Fortunately when he got home, his wife and I were looking after him. I went to the drug store and bought him some crutches as I recall.

So instead of owning a motorcycle, he now has a Mazda Miata.

So the, uh... European Union got the Nobel Peace Prize.
The European Union?
The same European Union that is currently going through this:





You could have given the Nobel Peace Prize to Occupy Wall Street, and that probably would have made more sense than giving it to the European Union.

The Nobel Peace Prize is just a fashion.

For example, Bush was nominated, despite being responsible for a war. And Obama won because, I don't know, popularity?

The EU has been a major contributor to many decades of peace in the most part of Europe.

Fox, on 12 October 2012 - 05:12 AM, said:

Due to a single speech he held not long after being elected. Right before not closing down Guantanamo and killing far more people by drone attacks than Bush. Which creates a dozen more potential terrorists for each casualty.

The Nobel Peace Prize isn't worth that much nowadays, indeed. The winners are elected by politicians and therefore it is often more a political statement than a reward for an individual's dedication to peace and understanding.

That may be so, but a good time to award the Nobel Peace Prize to them would have been at the fall of the Berlin Wall (instead they gave it to Gorby), not at this very moment when its very economic existence is in jeopardy.

[Sangman]

A bit weird to award the Nobel Peace Prize to the EU just around the time of that Pakistani girl being shot for standing up to the Taliban. (without shooting them)

She'll be eligible next year if she survives long enough..

[Master Fibbles]

I thought she died?

How do you give a federation the Nobel Peace Prize? They are getting pretty silly with that thing lately.

The truly worst part about Obama winning it was that when he accepted it, he went on to justify war. Accepting a prize for peace, he justified war

AFAIK she's in hospital in critical condition.

Other than the other prices it's not unusual. The Red Cross and UNICEF got it, too.

Yup, he should have turned it down until he'd lived up to the promises he made.

Now back to the second half of today's more important event.

I just noticed that Zaxtor posted in this thread only 4 times. Kind of surprising.

P.S. Why constant downvoting is abuse while upvoting isn't?

You've brought that up several times in other threads haven't you? Or was that someone else.

Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. People get all pissy when being downvoted but don't question being upvoted even for shitty posts. It creates a very distorted view - ie. morons with a rep of 200+ because almost nobody ever downvotes.


disclaimer: no this does not mean I think everyone with a rep of more than 200 is automatically an idiot

That was hilarious... but as per tradition I still have to downvote you.

It didn't help that you put my avatar so late in the vid.

I was too mesmerized by yatta to pay any attention to when my avatar showed up.
