It's not like he's on his death bed or anything but he seems to be going through something. Could end in suicide. Maybe that's what Darmik's talking about.

Yeah. Or some sort of overdose. The guy is worrying me.

Do you think those people who sit next to you in an empty theater are the same people who use the stall next to you in public toilets?

People who buy popcorn and other food when watching a movie: how do you clean your hands afterwards?

You suck and slurp your fingers while burping.

A lot of speed limits are designed around the banking on the roads in turns, lighting, and other factors. Speed limits are not just posted to generate revenue.

I know. Which is why I asked my original question.

I generally avoid driving topics here because the road rules can differ a bit between countries to be fair.

A MAN who created a hyper-realistic sex robot has copped a savage backlash after admitting on a morning show that he lets his children play with her.

A MARRIED dad who appeared on British TV show This Morning with the sex robot he uses for threesomes with his wife has denied he is a pervert.

Viewers were left shocked after Arran Lee Squire brought brunette bot Samantha on to the show and he has hit back his critics who dubbed him “perverted”, The Sun reports.

Speaking to presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield this week, Arran explained how his wife is supportive of doll Samantha — who even has a “family mode”.

However some viewers were left unimpressed and said Arran was “perverted” and “strange”, the Daily Post has reported.

Arran has now hit back at these claims and said: “We get some strange reactions when we tell people what we are doing, but we are not perverts and these dolls are not for perverts.”

During his interview on Tuesday, Holly admitted she didn’t know much about sex robots, adding that Samantha was very human-like to touch but her co-presenter did not agree.

Phil said: “When she was brought in and we were introduced to her, I did touch her, and I found it really quite unnerving that it was a good feeling of skin, but it was cold, she was like a corpse.”

“Yes, yep,” said Arran, who added that he’s looking into ways to be able to heat her up.

Holly’s worry wasn’t her base temperature — it was Arran’s young children, aged five and three, finding her.

She asked: “Women have vibrators and sex eggs that’s now accepted as part of our society and they fit in the drawer.”

“Where are you gonna hide that? It would be quite frightening if a child found that in their wardrobe.”

But that’s no problem for Arran and his little ones — as they love hanging out with Samantha.

“Samantha has a family mode,” he said.

“No, don’t!” exclaimed Holly.

Phil asked: “What, she’s going to read the kids a bedtime story?

Describing her assets, Arran said: “She can talk about animals, she can talk about philosophy, she can talk about science.”

“She’s got programmed a thousand jokes at random, which I don’t know all of them, so there’s a lot to Samantha, she’s advanced.”

“So you can switch her to the family mode and have her sitting on the sofa among the family?” said a baffled Phil.

“Yes, yes,” quipped Arran.

“My children, they say, ‘Where’s Samantha?’ so she can be at home. When we brought her in the car they really enjoyed it.”

Not accepting that this should be the norm, mum-of-three Holly pointed out that his kids’ view may change as they get older.

She said: “But at some point they’re going to go, ‘I’m now old enough to realise that daddy has sex with Samantha and Samantha’s not mummy.’ Is that a bit strange?”

“I think the world’s changing,” reasoned Arran.

It’s not just Arran’s kids that are on board, his wife Hannah Ngyuen, who was backstage, also loves Samantha.When Phillip asked if she was “totally happy” having the robot on her sofa “with her kids around” she appeared unfazed.

Hannah replied: “Yes, yes I am completely [happy].

Yeahhh letting your kids play with your sex robot is a bit weird.

What's the point of a limit if you're just gonna go 10+ over it (I get having a leeway of 5).

Like if they increased the limit in areas where you think you should be able to drive faster would you then go 10+ on top of that too?

Depends on the flow. I personally think there should only be limits in specific zones like school and road work.

Eh I dunno. Some roads lead to sudden turns. Suburbs with lots of pedestrians etc. There's a lot to take into account and tbh I don't really trust most drivers to rely on their own intuition.

Sony needs to allow EA Access

This and the lack of PS1 Classics and PS2 Classics with Crossbuy support are the worst things about Sony this gen easy.

Oh and the lack of crossplay with Xbox One and Switch.

I have no idea what you're talking about. PS4 is also having a great year.

I think 1 in 5 PS4 owners owns a Pro, which is big.

Since the PS4 Pro launched around 1 in 5 PS4 sales are of the Pro model. So it's not really that big. It doesn't really matter much though.

Will this be a good entry point into the series?

Metroid isn't a story heavy series for the most part so you're probably fine.

There might be improvements made during this game that make the other 2D games feel a bit clunky in comparison but that's about it.

Yeah it's mostly left to the reader, I always assumed the "new" humans-vampires would cull the mindless vampires from the earth and start a new society but i always wondered why no one bothered to contact this "monster" that was the last human... i mean he pretty much holed himself up in his house and had to deal with the mindless vampires every night...

I think he was killing ones that weren't mindless and thus he created himself into a legend that he was some sort of Dracula-esque monster that couldn't be reasoned with. It doesn't help that the vampires were still pretty primitive and were still evolving.

But yeah it has been a really long time since I read the book. It's a shame we didn't get a movie about this sorta stuff. It would have been way more interesting.

while it was great i didn't like the ending of the book, felt a bit too inconclusive... like what happened after and such.

What do you mean? It's been a while but didn't they just execute him and he realized at the end that he was the monster in their society?

No i mean like They imprison him, the not so angry vampire tells him everyone is scared of the monster, he comes to the conclusion that he became what he was hunting all this time, etc etc, but i meant afterwards, what happens with this "new" society, the story just ends with him, i mean it makes sense but i always want to know what happens after that sort of stuff :<

Ah I see. More of a curiosity thing then? I remember being under the impression that the vampire society was evolving to be just like ours with their own superstitions and what not. But I'm sure a lot of it is under interpretation.

I think it's because they think fans of the adaptation will watch it regardless so they need to try and bring in the people who want a dumb and inoffensive popcorn movie.

It's a shame what happened to I Am Legend. The movie wasn't bad but it was an awful adaptation.

Those were NES ROMs. And they were already selling those individually on the Wii Shop Channel 11 years ago.

Yep so you gotta rebuy them again if you want. Even worse than the $2 discount they gave for wii -> wiiu

Aren't the arcade versions better than the NES ones?

I only care about Punch Out Arcade tbh.

I'm not sure how buying a full priced game to play some arcade ports is a better system though lol

Next summer, Nintendo will also bring back the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition system with new shipments. More information about the timing of the return of NES Classic Edition will be announced in the future.

NES Classic Edition features 30 classic NES games such as the original Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Donkey Kong.

I think it's the same exact games.

Played it at PAX, it was pretty fun! The platforming sections weren't fantastic, but the boss fight I played was ridiculous fun. Should be a great game to do co-op with.

I remember the game was originally just gonna be a boss rush game so that is one of my concerns.

Doubtful. Those tend to be covered on their own by TPCI and CoroCoro.

Oh I see. They did say 3DS games so if it's not that maybe the Kirby stuff.

This might be the first time that Nintendo has a bunch of sports games to show off too. That's usually when I get bored during E3 heh.

So a solid chunk of Mario Odyssey info

Release date and more details for Xenoblade 2 seems obvious

Final titles and more stuff about Kirby and Yoshi?

Fire Emblem Warriors info.

Pokémon Ultra Sun/Moon

I suppose that's already pretty meaty. I hope all of the teasing from Platinum Games leads to something. I'd be happy with a Bayo 2/W101 port.
