Ask The Staff 'Anything'

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

Can I ask why? Just curious 'n stuff.

They have all proved themselves to be liars, cheats and not deliver on their promises. Claiming our cash for their own personal gain and turning the UK into rip-off Britain. Its likely that none of them will do 80% of the things they have said if they get into power and until someone stands out and proves that they will start to do what they promise and grab my attention with some policies that interest me then im not interested. All we keep hearing about is cuts in public spending and tax rises and how we are paying for their mistakes and bad decisions.

Good reason. :lol:

But isn't that typical politics?

Well you could say that but you have to expect them to at least be true to some of their word. The petrol prices for example are an absolute joke £1.20 a litre average is crazy and they are driving most the driving and transport industry out of business and then moaning that unemployment is on the up. Then the petrol companies are making £1.2 billion a year in profits. Then taxing the high earners more (sounds good in theory) but those high earners are mostly job bosses who when they see a drop in profits have to lay people off or shut their businesses. Seems no politician ever looks at the bigger picture, just what makes them look good there and then. These are 2 small examples off the top of my head. I dont really claim to know much about politics and dont have much interest but i know what effects me day to day & money grabbing moronic politicians are making my life harder and more expensive than it has to be.

Dear projectego and Angel,

when will you help me with the last firefight achievements in ODST?

And

Dear Angel,

why is the latest DLC to Mass Effect 2 so crap?

I'll get back to you - this week's completely out for us but should be free next week?

Haven't played the latest DLC but I'm becoming more and more disaffected with Bioware in general these days so wouldn't surprise me if anything they churn out now is utter crap.

EDIT: Being in the higher tax bracket is not all it's cracked up to be either - we're in that due to circumstances out of our control and being taxed to hell and back when we've already paid through the nose for it in the first place sucks. I could understand it if we were consistently earning insane amounts of money, but we're not. Someone passed away and left Steve with a lump sum which was already taxed by an outrageous 40% and now they want more on top of that every year. We're not rich by a LONG shot yet we get taxed as though we have money to burn because on paper it looks more than it is in cold hard ready cash. Then you get situations like families who earn just outside of the limit for receiving financial assistance to keep working and therefore boost the economy and they get nothing so they cannot afford their kids, their rent/mortgage, their bills etc and end up having to quit work to go on welfare and make taxes even worse. I honestly don't know how any government will fix that.

Sounds to me it is time to blow up the House of Parliament.... again.

You all called me crazy. You spat on me in the street when I was waving those signs about on the sidewalk. But I was right! So dreadfully right! The end is night for BioWare! Doom! DOOOOOM! And I saw, and behold a white horse. And he who sat upon him, his name was Electronic Arts!

This calls for pulling out an old copy of V for Vendetta, plus might do us a favour if someone did.

Mass Effect 1, I liked. Took me a while, but I liked it. Dragon Age? I play it because I'm being an achievement whore but it's shockingly bad. I got on my soap box about it yesterday and bored the crap out of Steve with all the bad things about DA and I hope to goodness they don't try anything like that again. Maybe once upon a time they did good RPGs but if DA is anything to go by, those days are over...

To all staff, do you like cheese?

Bavarian Smoked...mmm mmm mmm...

Wait, what? Haven't been paying attention. Last DLC I got was the tank pack, and I still haven't played it. What new DLC is out?

You're still crazy. Because we all agree about EA being the Great Satan of the Gaming World, Lords of capricious and Certainly UnNeccesary capitalization. right?

Yeah, I love cheese.

@ Gikoku: Benny Lava is awesome, true or false?

True. His beard & sunglasses are proof of that.

To all staff, would you rather be a hippo or a walrus?

A walrus, then I can take over the world with my diabeetus testing supplies and minions, and anyone who defies me will face the merciless wrath of...

It's your Rep/Reputation.

 

[Evan]

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

Why are some bolded and some not? And how much rep do you need per rectangle?

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

100 rep per rectangle.
Some are bolded just because they are. It gets easier to count them as they get to the bold numbers.

Meh. Not gonna blow money on it, even if the helmets both look cool and would be useful.
