LOL.. maybe if you drink enough for brain damage then sure. An occasional drink here and there isn't going to turn you into a murderer.

I learned at school that a lot of teachers spew BS lol.. like the one time the teacher was trying to fight with me that a koala was a bear. No. Just no. Koalas are marsupials. I needed to bring in multiple encyclopedias to prove my point because he didn't believe it.

Oryx October 4th, 2012 4:46 AM

Everyone remember the lie "You'll use cursive for the rest of your life"?

Overlord Drakow October 4th, 2012 5:35 AM

The biggest lie in the universe;

I have read the terms of service.

Ivysaur October 4th, 2012 9:17 AM

I wonder if actually ever reads any of them.

I remember my dad actually read through a couple of the agreements. Of course, he's a lawyer though, so he had to be that guy. >.<
But who actually uses cursive when they're older? I can only think of a couple of teachers who were 50+ years old...

Esper October 4th, 2012 10:14 AM

I read one once. Well, skimmed one. Actually, I just jumped to the end.

If there's anything important in them someone else will find it.

Lumina October 4th, 2012 9:56 PM

So apparently, Halo 4 is going to have Flood-infected Spartan-IVs. This is terrifying. Excuse me while I go cry in a corner.

On a completely unrelated note, my yearly throat pains have started up again. Nose-produce leaking down my throat and drying up. I haven't slept in two days.

I recall reading somewhere about a guy that got sent $5,000 because he read the terms & conditions, and there was a line in the middle somewhere that said "if you read this, send this code to this e-mail and we'll send you $5,000."

Lumina October 4th, 2012 10:09 PM

I have never once read through the terms of service to anything ever in all time ever.

Ever.

droomph October 4th, 2012 10:11 PM

I read like, the first part for fun. Even if I wanted to however I couldn't :P

Lumina October 4th, 2012 10:16 PM

Apparently the iTunes T&C is a pretty good read.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ October 4th, 2012 10:39 PM

I just can't believe they write TOS "essays" that long and expect the average human being to have the patience and attention span to read through all that legalese...

I know I don't. I do however, read through any contract that requires my signature.

Lumina October 4th, 2012 10:41 PM

Oh yeah. Definitely. Never sign **** unless you know exactly what you're signing.

On a semi-related note, I have a terrible signature. And just terrible handwriting in general.

Plumpyfoof October 4th, 2012 11:03 PM

My friend legally owns his brothers kidney because he made him sign an agreement, something to do with sharing the internet downloads, and in the fine print he said something about signing over custody of his left kidney at any time.
Who knows what you're agreeing to if you don't read things.

@Abbadon:
My signature is like a half-drawn star that flicks off into a squiggle shaped like a 'W'
I invented it when I though I was going to be famous and thought ahead so I didn't have a huge long annoying signature to sign autographs with.
It's now on all my legal documents.

Frostweaver October 4th, 2012 11:05 PM

Oh my, OCC is still around too XD;

Terrible/"messy" signature has its advantage. At least it's hard to forge it? But then with time, I feel like my signature is getting more and more messy. When I first made it as a teen, it's easy to read my name. It gets a bit harder every year XD

droomph October 5th, 2012 7:32 AM

Ugh signatures lol.

I just print my name or copy over my sig from PC whenever I need to sign those damn things. I can't stick to a signature cuz I forget, so I just write it down.

My signature is done in the cursive I learned in 3rd grade back when I lived in Washington. It is the only thing I remember how to write like that at all. It looks atrocious.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ October 5th, 2012 1:03 PM

I hate writing my signature. It's messy as heck, you can barely read the name, and I swear it never comes out looking the same way twice. I've just always been more comfortable with printing my name :/

Lumina October 5th, 2012 1:21 PM

I sign my signature only on papers where it specifically says "sign here" or "student signature here".

Palamon October 5th, 2012 4:22 PM

I usually sign all my papers because I have to. It will probably become a state law soon anyway because there are a whole bunch of new teaching laws coming out lately and it isn't fair on the teachers.

Cosmotone8 October 5th, 2012 4:23 PM

My signature irl isn't too bad, though not very consistent.

Lumina October 5th, 2012 5:42 PM

Here's a picture of my signature because why the **** not?



Bonus points if you can tell what it says.

Cosmotone8 October 5th, 2012 5:45 PM

Lemnie Roland? xD Best guess.
I always mess up my last name when I'm signing, never my first really

I tend to have the same problem.

alisaie October 5th, 2012 11:33 PM

My signature is lazy and the only thing you can make out of is it the 'T' at the beginning of it. It used to be a little cleaner but it just got sloppy and then stuck that way whoops.

Frostweaver October 5th, 2012 11:38 PM

Messy signature is an important key trait to be a doctor in the future, so keep at it =D


In other news... why are older games still so pricy (like, PSP games not talking rare collectible NES games). I just checked Persona 3 Portable and it's still 30 dollars... I thought that after so many years by now it should be 19.99 finally... but nope. Sigh.

alisaie October 5th, 2012 11:44 PM

Psh. The closest I am going to get to being a doctor is playing the Trauma Center games.

I think it depends on the popularity of the game and such? I'm not sure but it seems to be a case by case basis. I mean ... I still see some games such as Super Smash Brothers Brawl at $40 still at a game store. Seems it also depends on which game store you go to and whether it is used or not.

Ivysaur October 6th, 2012 1:49 AM

My signature is superlazy XD It's just a W with some flourishes around.

Nihilego October 6th, 2012 1:53 AM

My signature is non-existent tbh. It's just my name written really quickly and really messy. I don't know if that's even acceptable as a signature or not.

pastelspectre October 6th, 2012 2:22 AM

Um hi and i know this sounds weird but i recently got obsessed with the older Pokemon movies and TV show again c: Been a while.

I agree, I just saw Fable 3 for $50. Terrible in comparison with its predecessors but it still cost $120 for almost 12 months in Australia. I feel ripped off.

Cosmotone8 October 6th, 2012 4:01 AM

^$120 for a video game? Holy crap. At MOST games cost $50-$70 here.

donavannj October 6th, 2012 4:05 AM

That's in Australian Dollars, which makes it even worse, last I checked. Probably has to do with the extra editing Australian laws require of video games.

Also, my signature is inconsistent and sloppy. Almost never the same twice anymore.

Cosmotone8 October 6th, 2012 4:07 AM

Even still, the Australian and American dollar are pretty much the some amount right now. And whats with this new law thing? Are they forcing you to own video games or something? xD

Kura October 6th, 2012 4:12 AM

Imports.. special editions..

Makes sense to me, man.

Ice Car October 6th, 2012 4:30 AM

My signature as well as all my handwriting in general if horrible. I'm arguably the best at typing essays and doing stuff like posting on forums where I can think and then reply rather than sort of being forced to think up a response on the spot. I'm type fairly fast but I write slow and I don't even hold the pencil properly because, the stubborn child I was, refused to learn how to use it properly and did it my own way.

Also, cute stuff. Such a god damn sucker for them. There's a limit though to how much of it I can take before it becomes cringe-worthy though.

Edit: Aw, a bit late on this topic aren't I? ****.

Plumpyfoof October 6th, 2012 4:33 AM

I think it was the most expensive video game in Australia at the time, for some unknown reason. But lately it's been relatively good, special edition pre-orders for Assassins Creed 3 are between $70 - $90 for the special editions. Pokemon B2W2 are $60 everywhere as well.

And yeah it's really expensive in Australia, it makes you value money a little more I think however.

Cosmotone8 October 6th, 2012 5:17 AM

BW2 only cost $34.99 here. xD Just saying.

Everything is ridicilously overpriced in Australia compared to everywhere else. Shoes, clothes, games, even cars ahah. It's the most deperesing thing. I buy most things from eBay instead.

Cosmotone8 October 6th, 2012 6:13 AM

But why? It doesn't make any sense to me why things are so overpriced in one country but not another.

Kura October 6th, 2012 6:29 AM

Just the market I guess. Like videogames and electronics are always expensive in Japan.

Speaking of Japan, I just bought some figures and things from there @[email protected]

Shipping was like 35 quid though @[email protected] expensive!

Australia has higher wages than places like America where people get most of their payment from tips. We're mostly isolated from the rest of the world too, so shipping to get things here from China, America, etc, is far more expensive so stores ask for more money so they can still make profit. Plus our population is barely over 20 million so ehh.

Cosmotone8 October 6th, 2012 7:15 AM

I started to think about the shipping after I posted. And I always pictured Australia having more people, dunno why.

Guillermo October 6th, 2012 7:18 AM

20 million Australian's is already too many hahah.

Cosmotone8 October 6th, 2012 7:23 AM

What do you mean? Japan has 125 million and Australia has more livable space than Japan even with the Outback and stuff.

Guillermo October 6th, 2012 7:26 AM

I don't mean space wise, just most Australian's are annoying asses. Plus most of Australia is bush, infested with insects and animals that could kill you in 20 seconds. Seriously the spiders here are so big they have health bars.

Cosmotone8 October 6th, 2012 7:28 AM

Haha that makes sense then. The less idiots the better. xD

droomph October 6th, 2012 10:36 AM

The less idiots the better? Are you kidding me? YouTube would go out of business if that happened :P

Frostweaver October 6th, 2012 10:48 AM

Last I checked for Australia, even a digital copy online for whatever reason, costs like an extra 10-20 dollars... so it's not a matter of importing a game to the middle of a giant rock type of thing.

Then again, my friend's sister works in a supermarket for 17 roo-dollars per hour...? I'm pretty sure that I don't get 17/hr in a supermarket type of job in Canada. I can only attribute the price to taxes/tariffs of some sort.

Weekend rates can be anything up to like $20 an hour for an average teenager, because we don't get tips.

Oryx October 6th, 2012 11:05 AM

I think the online thing is just because the market in Australia can support it. If they couldn't, I bet digital prices at least would drop.

Google says, about $1.01 for every dollar.

Goddamn that's a lot.

Morkula October 6th, 2012 1:12 PM

Yeah, Australian minimum wage is ridiculous, especially compared to the US. Our minimum wage ($7.25) is really low in comparison to a lot of other countries.

Kura October 6th, 2012 1:20 PM

.. I'm in the wrong country.

Lumina October 6th, 2012 3:21 PM

england country is best country stfu with your fact-based opinions and well thought-out arguments i win anyways

Frostweaver October 6th, 2012 3:25 PM

And in a way, you suddenly realized that their video game prices aren't that bad if their minimum wage is double of ours (or higher) XD; I'm a freakin' part-time math teacher and I do not make 20/hour D:

droomph October 6th, 2012 8:40 PM

My mom said that she makes $100 an hour and I was like :o holy ****

and then I realized that half of america makes less than $15 an hour, and then I gave up hope on getting that music studio I always wanted.

Guillermo October 6th, 2012 8:59 PM

Yeah Aus' minimum wage is around $15.96 an hour. I know 13 year olds on at least 14 an hour, so it makes sense everything would be double the price. Still seems ridiculous to spend $150 bucks on the new AC collectors edition though.

donavannj October 6th, 2012 9:02 PM

I thought a lot of the increase in cost in Australia versus other countries is the post-production violence editing that's required by law there for games.

Though it could simply be a matter of Australia's market size being too small to sell them any cheaper and still make a "worthwhile" profit.

Guillermo October 6th, 2012 9:04 PM

Apparently they're bringing out an R18+ rating for games in Aus now, but I've heard that same story at least 5 times over a couple of years. It'd be great if it happened though because the violence in games here is too damn low. :(

Ivysaur October 6th, 2012 11:45 PM

Also consider that Australian games belong in the PAL region, which means extra translation and shipping costs. Games are already more expensive in Europe than in the US, so of course they are going to be even worse in Australia.

Frostweaver October 7th, 2012 12:44 AM

Thus why I compared prices with digital copies... no shipping required for digital, right?

As for PAL version... hey asia is also PAL but you don't see the same price hike like that =(

Japan and Korea are NTSC, and I don't really know about the prices of videogames in any other Asian countries to compare XD

Nihilego October 7th, 2012 1:50 AM

England's minimum wage is pretty sucky next to some of you guys'. Fortunately though any job I've had in recent years has been above it anyway so it doesn't bother me too much but still... damn. My heart flipped over when I realised how much more I could be making if I worked in Australia with your giant minimum wage. @[email protected]

That's pretty bad even by English standards - our minimum wage for 21 year olds translates to almost $10.

• £4.98 - the 18-20 rate
• £3.68 - the 16-17 rate for workers above school leaving age but under 18
• £2.65 - the apprentice rate, for apprentices under 19 or 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship
If you are of compulsory school age you are not entitled to the NMW. Some of your other employment rights are also different.
Past NMW rates can be viewed on the Low Pay Commission website.

Apprentice rates are pretty awful though. As is more or less anything under 21 years of age.

I was born in Manchester, UK, actually. When I moved here I noticed the difference betweeen minimum wages was substantial ahah, but it works out about the same because we're paying far more for things. Even groceries are ridiculously overpriced compared to everywhere else I've been.

Kura October 7th, 2012 3:46 AM

Rent is stupid in the UK. Glad I am on a salary though. I like it better than having to worry about hours/ shifts.

Ivysaur October 7th, 2012 4:26 AM

When I went to London, I was surprised to know that the price of my monthly all-you-can-travel bus &metro pass here in Madrid would only allow me to use an Oyster card for four days XD

BUSES ARE HORRIBLE. A student ticket is like $10.50 and you get 10 trips.

Ivysaur October 7th, 2012 4:38 AM

Oh! That sounds better than our regular 10-trip bus ticket, which costs €12.20 XD Around $15. No discounts! That's why I just go for the monthly pass unless I'm going to be out for weeks.

Guillermo October 7th, 2012 4:41 AM

Wow, that's ridiculous. Are buses as unreliable in Spain as they are in Aus? Constantly late, if they even show up.

Cosmotone8 October 7th, 2012 5:05 AM

Nobody uses the bus here, mostly because we have the T-Trains instead, and everyone just uses that or their cars.

Oh no, here you know something is very wrong somewhere if they don't show up- the green ones at their scheduled times and the blue ones every 5-10 minutes depending on the time and the day. And there are over 300 lines crossing the city so chances are at least one is going to take you to where you want to go.

Metro is faster mostly because of avoiding traffic lights and possible jams, though.

Kura October 7th, 2012 6:06 AM

Every time I go to Bristol it is like.. one trip is 1.90 quid : | Day pass is more worth it even though it is 4 pounds. If you gotta take a trip there and back somewhere it is about the same >_> craziness.

Should just do what I do and teleport everywhere, it's so much cheaper and quicker.

Nihilego October 7th, 2012 6:32 AM

I'm so glad I've got a bus pass at Uni. Twice a day at least plus nights out, going into town, etc., I have to use busses and they're at least £1.10 a shot. Seems like not too much but it really adds up and since this place is massive there are always queues and stuff to get on busses and it's much quicker to just flash your bus pass than it is to get the right change and get the ticket and etc. Plus the drivers are always really grumpy lol.

Kura October 7th, 2012 6:33 AM

I'm so glad my work is only a 3 minute walk from my flat lol.

Guillermo October 7th, 2012 6:37 AM

I'm so glad I have a car.

Nihilego October 7th, 2012 6:40 AM

I'm so jealous of your car. Although driving around here would be a bit of a nightmare it'd still be easier.

HOVERCRAFT!

I've always wanted a helicopter (no traffic!) or a chauffeur <3

Mr Cat Dog October 7th, 2012 7:25 AM

The problem with a helicopter is that there are few places that you'd be able to park it... at least in heavily urbanised areas. If you're out in the country, then sure, it'd be wonderful! But I can't imagine having one near my house to go to work, even though it would be undoubtedly cool in the moment! :D

Frostweaver October 7th, 2012 7:29 AM

Yet sometimes you have a car, the the parking at the university is so expensive that you decide to bus there anyway as if you don't have a car... seriously those parking costs D:

Honestly where I live it would probably be easier to get a park for a helicopter than a car.

Kura October 7th, 2012 8:25 AM

you wouldnt have to worry about people stealing your helicopter unless they wanted to kill themselves- then you can collect on the insurance whee!!!

Esper October 7th, 2012 9:06 AM

Jet packs, everyone. No parking required.

Honest October 7th, 2012 9:27 AM

Video game prices here in the US are pretty static. Console games cost at best $60 while handhelds are around $35.


Capcom, though, has been a prick to deal with as of late. Anyone hear of the special package deal it made with Resident Evil 6? You can get an exact replica of the jacket Leon wears in the game for $1300 bucks.


W.T.F.

EDIT: Awks, I was directed two pages back, for some reason...


I've never ridden a helicopter, for the record.

I've been in a helicopter before. Only once, though. I was seven-years old and my mother and I were on vacation in Colorado and while we were there my one request was that I get to ride in a helicopter (then called the whirly-woo) and so she fulfilled the request by taking me to a free-range helicopter rental place (you don't get to rent the vehicle but you can get flown up in one) I vaguely remember the experience, but it was pretty wild. Fun, nonetheless.

You be surprised =)
People steal construction equipments and bulldozers and other silliness all the time, and pretty sure that they won't have the licenses for it. Nothing stops some silly teenagers or insane guy from having a "chance of a lifetime" stealing a helicopter. For, they'll just have fun destroying it with a hammer or something.

...unless you're Batman, then you can put a simple cover on a huge flying vehicle on the top of a skyscraper for half a year in times of complete anarchy, and it'll be completely safe.

I would probably totally freak out in a Helicopter. Never flown and don't plan on it.

I so want to fly a helicopter. It would be awesome.

I would hate to fly a helicopter. xD Riding in one would still be less than ideal, but driving one would freak me out. I much rather prefer planes

Since the title of the thread changed, perhaps we should change the topic~? So, what is everyone doing for Halloween? Anything specific? Any traditions? I wish someone I know was holding a Halloween party; I could really use one right about now. I haven't been to one in a few years and it'd be a nice break from the usual nothing that we do for Halloween every year since I was ten. n_n;
