Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

[Eparcyl]

But thinking you're taller than me want some cheats to be taller.
But know can we talk about our faces:

And that's mine:





I'm THE SHOW OFF: HELL YEAH!!!!

[CHRdutch]

I have that game too (I bought the need for speed PS2 collection) but I don't like it . I once was racing against my little brother and there was a part where you had to drive up a hill. But my car didn't drive up though, it rolled down

Did you just mean “Collector’s Series”? The Collector’s Series doesn’t have Pro Street.

I currently have:

• NFS Underground (PC)
• NFS Underground 2 (PC)
• NFS Most Wanted (PC)
• NFS Underground (PS2, black label, PAL)
• NFS Underground 2 (PS2, black label, PAL)
• NFS Most Wanted (PS2, black label, PAL)
• NFS Carbon (PS2, black label, PAL)
• NFS Pro Street (PS2, black label, PAL)

As you can see I don’t have any Platinum NFS titles.

It's this one

I believe I lost the box though

[Fifo]

It's this one

Oh I see.

I already have those three titles as you can see above

- Bad planning and schoolwork resulted in me going on less than five hours of sleep today, and it wasn't pretty.

+ The exit polls were very accurate, well done pollsters
-- The exit polls were very accurate, well done Tories

-- The Conservatives have enough suppport to form a government with the help of the Lib Dems and DUP, hooooo boy.
-- The SNP did incredibly well, which I like, but it means that the sociopolitical divide between Scotland and England is starker and more unfair than ever.
-- As thought, UKIP did well but was too dispersed to actually gain much. That'll additionally raise yet more questions about the validity of FPTP.
-- All in all a pretty terrible night heralding a pretty interesting 5 years.

My biggest worry is that Labour swings further right. If you look at Labour's results, they've actually gained outside of Scotland, even if it was well below expectations. But they'll take any opportunity to say that their tiny "shift" to the left was a mistake so they can go back to being Tories again.

- Due to Canadian politics being extremely boring (the most interesting thing regarding it that's happened in my lifetime being that one of the Prime Minister candidates is doing an ad campaign this year to add more train routes) I haven't garnered a taste for government politics outside of keeping up with the literally inescapable prose of US presedential elections.

I consider this a negative because it's something I want to get a little more invested in. Really though, at the end of the day, the overwheling majority wouldn't even notice the change in leadership. The problems of first-world countries usually manifest themselves as the unemployment rates of poor people, small problems that if fixed would seem like no more than minute perks, and of course, other countries' problems.

[Jewish Candy]

Honestly, what little I know of recent Canadian politics tends to make me wince, as with Australian politics.

++ Farage is out, thank christ

[Rulez]

+ got the video from our performance in that contest two weeks ago, where we got second place! Seems lovely

[Imco]

- I was working on a new Rayman song, just wanted to save, it crashed. I spent 2 hours on it, or so D=

+ I think I know how to recreate it

[Xenon]

+ The exit polls were very accurate, well done pollsters

I was one of those pollsters! One of about 250, to be fair, but one nonetheless, so thanks

As for the result, it wasn't what I was hoping for either. But the funny thing now is, I'd say there is not a single thing this man can do in the next 5 years to please those snps. Forget devolution, they will continue to claim they are not listened to, continue to use the same rhetoric and continue to push forward their ideology until they're independent. The next five years will be fascinating indeed.

So I guess that's kind of a plus?

[Jewish Candy]

You were? Fucking hell Xen. Seriously, excellent work on that one. What a shake-up!

+/- Based on what various figures have said I actually doubt the SNP will raise the topic of independence... at least until after the EU referendum (great, another headache) Yup, it's gonna be a pretty crazy term.

[Xenon]

It was pretty interesting really. I was sent to a constituency where it was an absolute wash, with over 75% of the electorate voting for the incumbent Tory candidate. Of around 300 polls myself and another chap conducted Labour failed to reach double figures

I think the snp are playing a clever game at the moment, and they're playing it very well.

[Serza5]

-- The SNP did incredibly well, which I like, but it means that the sociopolitical divide between Scotland and England is starker and more unfair than ever.

- You talk as though that's a bad thing, actually no; it's always been like that and I hardly see how more SNP seats can make it "worse" unless you mean on the English side of things

[Xenon]

I don't think the acquisition of parliament seats makes it worse (in fact I would argue the opposite), but you surely can't deny Candish is right in that the snp's rise in popularity has bitten hard into Anglo-Scottish relations?

[Jewish Candy]

Hmm, I wouldn't be in a position to say it's bitten hard really, like Serza says the differences haven't necessarily gotten any stronger (or weaker) on the ground. I meant more that in the halls of Westminster, Labour is unionist and therefore considered at least vaguely respectable. No such respect is afforded the SNP. Scotland already takes a battering and it will only take more now that the Tories have unlimited power - and a convenient nationalist bogeyman as an excuse. (Labour in charge would have done the same, though being forced into command/supply may have tempered that.) I'm not really blaming the SNP for this, the problem lies on this side of the border.

Do you think Scotland will get independence this term then? I'm certain there'll be calls for it. Gonna be a lot of constitutional wrangling with FPTP under scrutiny too.

[Serza5]

It's not that I don't disagree with this more like confused as to why this comes as any sort of news, as though the relations have always been good, or at least not bad, between the two. The only reason the SNP seem to be "biting hard" into this is only because they're the only party shouting at Westminster to fix the fact that Westminster only gives a shit about Scotland when it cries "Independence".

Do you think Scotland will get independence this term then? I'm certain there'll be calls for it. Gonna be a lot of constitutional wrangling with FPTP under scrutiny too.

If I recall this time round there's more of a push from SNP to make the union fair, as in voices for Scotland (and I won't try and say the others because nah, obviously not, but still) in Parliament. My only issue with the idea of Independence this time around is both sides trying to pull of the same bullshit scare tactics as the last time, which is the only reason why the vote ended up as it did.

+/- Respecting the game like a good mod

[Jewish Candy]

+ Serza setting a fine example

I don't think it's the animosity or polarisation that's news (except for the Little England bubble), but how shameless it's gonna become now Scotland is an eeeevil buttercup yellow.

If I recall this time round there's more of a push from SNP to make the union fair

Yeah, that's what they've been saying, and I believe them for now. If the EU referendum returns an Exit vote though I sense independence will become unavoidable as an issue...

- The union ain't ever gonna be fair cos it's unfair by design

[Xenon]

@ Candish: I admire any party that stands up for itself and is controversial. It's totally legitimate and accceptable for a party to wish for independence (even though I most vigorously oppose the proposition). My critique more came down to strategy, rather than principle. I wasn't putting my point across well, but was trying to say that their increased popularity has engendered a certain rivalry and anti-feeling particularly if you look from below the border (and that's not a criticism, just an observation).

And to answer the question, in my opinion, yes. I predicted before the election that if Cameron got in, Sccotland would be independent by the end of term, and I stand by that.

@ Serza: Well, you're right about that, and I hate the Westminster bubble too.

[Serza5]

Scotland has always been evil though for simply identifying as a rebellious, individual state as opposed to just sucking up to the rest of the union. But yeah I understand where you're getting at with that now, again though it's hardly news more like something you just gotta expect because of how "fair" the union has always been.

- The union ain't ever gonna be fair cos it's unfair by design

Possibly, although I doubt Scotland at this point has much interest in EU given that the EU was like "Nah" when it came to accepting them as an independent country, basically the only ones who'd want an independent Scotland besides me and the rest of the 45% are the Nordics.

- Christ I never do talk much politics but the Scottish blood, it gets me rolling
