No, troopers here are meticulous with their speeding tickets. They will put down the make, model, last service date, etc. of the radar they used. Plus an internet link to the video of you speeding. Not to mention they get fired if they don't show up to court dates.

So yea, no way of getting out of speeding tickets.

TopicI think the scores for Marvel's Netflix shows underline the problem with...

the modern comic book industry and the sensibilities of the modern comic book reader. For example, the lowest rated show according to the critics was Iron Fist:

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/marvel_s_iron_fist

Now while I wasn't a fan of Iron Fist and it is certainly the worst of the Netflix shows, it is in no way an 18%. At worst maybe a 50% - 60%. Conversely, the highest rated show is not Daredevil (my favorite), not Jessica Jones, but Luke Cage:

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/luke_cage

96%, really? Pretty much anyone you talk to says that show has a really bad second half. And while I tend to disagree (the first have was really boring while I actually liked the second half, although the ending was crap) the point still stands that it is not nearly perfect. At best it is a 75%.

Also, for reference, there are the scores for the other 3 shows:

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/jessica_jones
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/daredevil
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/marvel_s_the_defenders

There isn't a huge disparity between these, but I think that the user scores are pretty close to my personal opinions on them.

Anyways, the point I am trying to make is that the two top rated shows (Luke Cage and Jessica Jones) tend to deal more with the sociopolitical issues of today (like a lot of modern comics do) while the rest are more politically neutral. As a result, critics rate them highly, but fans just tend to roll their eyes and not care as much.

I'm a little burned out on these remakes and re-releases, but I feel like if people don't buy them then Capcom (or whoever) will think there's no interest in the game and then the chances of a new entry will be that much slimmer.

So I'll buy it, but it'll probably just sit on my shelf for a while.

I don't mind them too much as long as they stay cheap ($20 or less) and the games are old enough (1 generation or more). Plus they are an easy way for Capcom to make money without needing to invest in a AAA game (which they really can't afford to do too many of nowadays).

Put it this way: Without RE0 HD and REmake HD, we probably wouldn't have gotten RE7.

But yea, get pounds. Even if you can pay in a foreign currency the conversion is probably not in your favor.

I used to like checkpoints, but after years of being forced to do the same thing over and over again, or being drained of resources with no way to replenish, or just general glitches which make them difficult to use, I prefer save anywhere.

I do think they should still have automatic saves at certain points as a backup. A lot of late 90's/early 2000's FPS games did that and it was perfect in my opinion.

Also never NEVER do checkpoints in a stealth game. NEVER!!! FUCKING NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bottling soda (Root beer) could be fun though, but I'm guessing it isn't easy/cheap? :x

Depends on how "authentic" you want to be. Making it from scratch, then no. Making it from extract is actually very easy, and not that pricey since one 4 ounce bottle will make like 8 gallons.

He's actually a hero in his home country.


I am honestly surprised they haven't used him in the Assassin's Creed games as a member of the Brotherhood. The similarities between the Black Hand and the Brotherhood are so close that it must have been an inspiration for the later games (Not so much the earlier ones since they take place long before the Black Hand was formed).
