  2. You had plenty of complaints before you moved though, almost monsly levels of whinge
     
  3. Yeah true. Although I think most of that was to do with the fact that the wifi barely reaches the games room (rectified with the 20m Ethernet cable).
     

  4. It's cuz there's no standardized name for it.

    bubbles, boba, tapioca balls, pearls.. it's chaotic. I ended up using the boba term more often because that's what my local chain called it when I lived in Orlando.
     
  5. It only seems like a cheap trick if you're a foreigner purchasing something from the US. But if you live here, you naturally know you need to add tax on to it.

    I think the reason we don't add that into the shown price is because our tax laws are different in almost every situation. It depends on where you're purchasing the actual product. You might be familiar with our tax via internet purchases situation. If I buy a product from say, Amazon, I don't have to pay any tax on the product as they have no physical entity in my state, such as a distribution center.

    And moving on, there's state sales tax, which is different in every state, which includes a county sales tax which is different in every county. Some states don't even have sales tax as weird as it sounds. And then there are meal taxes (taxes on prepared meals) in some states. And then there are prescription drug/non prescription drug taxes in some states. Some of the taxes only apply if you buy up to specific amount.

    You can just witness the craziness here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_States#Summary_table

  8. I think I unfriended TashinSutcuoglu from my PSN friends list because I had no idea who he was and we never played games together. I'm really picky with who I add as a friend on my consoles.

    Consider yourselves fortunate.
     
  9. PSN appears to be down this morning.
     
  10. Who's around sat/sun morning? This is a thing now, right? We play on weekend mornings before grim goes to the shops.

    I've noticed arma hasn't applied to be a member of FAPS, despite saying he would. FOR SHAME.
     
  11. I not going to the shops tomorrow but I do have to go out in the morning to the in laws so as usual will have more time on Sunday and a brief go on Saturday.
     
  12. Anyone around this evening? I'm level 28!
     
  13. Honestly I have no idea,

    I think the only thing we really need to do now is the RAID, we need come up with a time we can all do and set a date in stone. We have 5 in Myself, you, monsly, AKS and Armadeadn so if anyone knows one more who wants to come along please suggest it.

    It is all we really have to do in this game now and then I can see myself taking a break until the DLC comes.
     
  14. We need to get monsly up to at least 24 though. Timing is gonna be awkward with us split between us/uk
     
  15. I was level 28 but then I bought a new exotic helmet for my titan so now I'm a lowly 27.

    By the way. The queens mark (or bond or cloak depending on class) does not convert all rep into queens rep as all the other marks do for the other factions. So disappointed when I got a queens rep level 2. I wanted to grind that rep and get better stuff but the only way to do that is to repeat the same damn 9 bounties over and over and over again.
     
  16. @grim I've got a couple of mates who are playing a lot. It wouldn't be hard to bring one of them along.
     
  17. Is anyone else irritated that the free version of Driveclub got delayed AGAIN? I was so excited to get a free next gen racing game and it was a complete buzzkill to find out that the servers buckled for the retail version so they never released the free one.
     
  18. Yeah, was a bit annoyed but my general enthusiasm for that game has been eroded. Looks a bit sterile to me.
     
  19. Drive club got a really good review on GT, the driving game guy seemed to love it.
     
  20. Waiting for the free version.

    Monsly's enthusiasm for life seems to have suffered a major hit recently.
