You've got that kinda backwards tbh MF. Rockstar themselves came out stating how proud they were of the 100 hour weeks people pulled to get RDR2 ready, they then relaxed their social media rules to try and get people to come out and say it wasn't the case/a problem and while some did quite a lot spoke to journalists and confirmed that, while 100 hours was the very upper end, several of rockstars studios have terrible overtime expectations/cultures with a "its a privilege to work in this industry/for us" attitude taken to those who didn't like it as they'd be easy to replace. Its a bad look for Rockstar and a blight on the games industry in general, especially that "youre easy to replace and you should be honoured to work in this industry" attitude. So yeah, for as little difference as it will make I'll get RDR2 pre-owned so my cash doesn't go to them. @The Fish ^^

What?

I have no idea what you're on about, no idea what could be considered offensive or wrong with what Jake Humphreys said and I've no idea what dan roan has said.

Yes

He wasn't the sole owner, was the chairman and part of the consortium that bought them. His son was part of that same group and is a director so it looks like he'll replace his father as chairman. Not sure how the ownership is divvied up though.

City already winning. Trippier did terribly.

13 hours time difference now and a late kickoff. I can finally watch a game of football out here! An its Spurs v City...could be worse, could be watching us.

Well, Brazils fucked. Expect CT to try on being a Bolsonaro fan next time he gets bored.

Confirmed that Leicesters owner, his daughter, two pilots and an unidentified fifth person were on board the helicopter. Puel wasn't.

Why? just watched that on twitter, he made a joke about not being rich enough to have a helicopter before it took off and its somehow supposed to haunt him?

Or if we'd, you know, spent the 27 million we got for him like we should have

Man its going to be good, I'm taking an unnecessary, overly principled, wont make a difference really stance and not buying it 'til I can get it preowned stance after rockstars insane "crunch" culture came to light a few weeks back. But I really really want it.

BAU boys, no downside for the common man from Brexit to be seen. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/24/no-deal-brexit-would-halt-most-uk-spain-flights-industry-says

Obama apparently as well.

Making jokes at times like this can give everyone a lift

Who else were you voting for in that case? Cause I don't have anyone to vote for anymore, Labours lost me in its current state because its...well, stupid now.

That is lovely! How are you liking it?

Chairs!

3-1 to us Theres will be a penalty after knockaert dives.

he's being "funny"

Alcacer is absolutely on fire at the moment, 9 goals this season, hes started 2 games.

oof, you've got to think palace and southampton will struggle for the rest of the season going off that.

Ive said fairly often but I adore my helix, I brought it to New Zealand in my suitcase in the place of...clothes The stomp looks cool, you'll not be using the units interface all that much I reckon as the screen and controls on the unit are somewhat limited due to its size. You'll be getting an astonishing bang for buck in a unit that small though and it still has the USB out meaning you can use the HX edit software as your main interface which is a doddle to use at a surface level but also lets you have some insanely detailed control. By and large its as tricky as you want to make it, theres a good library of user generated and uploaded patches on the Line6 website that you can just whack onto your helix in no time with it plugged into your PC and you'll have that tone, they're all star rated and have a "number of downloads" against them so its easy to filter the shite. It'll come with the fuck loads of Line6s own preloaded patches too which is a solid range of stuff. Main hassle for me would be the lack of footswitches, 3 vs 12 and an expression pedal is a big difference and I dunno how they'll work their way round that.

Israel, they're not sold on this free speech malarkey, even when its in other countries they have no jurisdiction over https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/oct/12/israel-fines-new-zealand-teenagers-18000-for-urging-lorde-concert-boycott

Email from GuitarGuitar this morning saying they now have Chapmans in stock, I think they're the first non-andertons UK store to have them. If anyone happens to be dropping by the Newcastle store and fancies picking one up for a test I'd be curious to know their thoughts, Chappers aside (love him or hate him) the guitars themselves have always held some interest for me but the idea of going to guildford to try one was always a bit much. They've a good lefty range now as well...
