Read about this earlier. I'd bet money that this wasn't the first time the driver drove drunk and probably has at least one or more DUI charges under her belt. Drinking and driving is treated so lightly when it absolutely shouldn't be.

From what a cop I know told me, the issue with DUIs is that they're a criminal statute so your normal traffic cop that's used to writing tickets all day for "minor" infractions will usually screw it up.
So they're typically get away with it after a lawyer gets involved.

They just weigh, measure and check blood preasure and heart rate in my experience. Never had to do a "full" physical. They do it every time you go to your annual check up, no other Doctor's visit will do that unless you're about to have surgery. Or maybe if it involves your heart and blood.

Also, even if they have you do blood work, it probably won't be same day, they'll put in an order for you to go have it drawn either down the hall or at another third-party like a week or two prior to your visit so they have the results.

Someone got suspended supposedly.

Pretty sure similar things have actually happened. Answer being yes when they press charges.

The runner up for rapper was also Tupac, third place being Ice Cube.

I remember the one youtuber that's big on scratching everything did a review on these when they came out, turns out the "glass" on the front is super easy to scratch and scuff and the warranty doesn't cover it, so you have to buy an upgraded warranty that cost as much as the "glass" replacement.

I'm still here and would participate, but my work schedule's a bit up in the air, so I might miss some rounds.

Do we still have the results of the contests run by Waffle & Popcorn?

Yes and no, all but two threads are saved except Horror and Rapper, though luckily for the Rapper save that, I can confirm Outkast is the winner.

Yeah and it was implemented in the most bizarre way possible. Iirc you practically had to beat the game before you could change the difficulty in either direction and the direction you could choose was version dependent. What is even the point of an easy mode you have to unlock by completing a challenge most of the way through the game?

It was possible to use them at the start of the game if you had a friend or family member that finished the game since you could swap records using the IR on the cartridge. But yeah, it was really dumb to include it as post game content, especially since if you have hard mode active is effects the GYM Leaders' rosters.

a pokemon game with all the regions and difficulty settings

I mean Black and White 2 had the difficulty settings part.

A Timesplitter 4 that isn't a fortnite clone.

Sounds about right. That price is probably based on a newer, more expensive starter.
Autozone sells your starter for $280, with $100 to install it sounds right.

I remember nominating the Flash for Save that Villian, and getting him in.

I'm a ghost.

From what I saw online it seems like you can easily buy the tanks but it wasn't clear about the O2

You can ship canisters of welding gas to your house from amazon, fully filled too. I imagine oxygen can be mailed too, any gas supplier can fill a canister regardless since they're used in cutting torches.

because oxygen tanks can be bombs

If that were the case it would be the ATF's explosives branch. It's because it's used in medicine.

Is it just me or are users getting suspended more often now that they get banned from CE for being purged?

didnt like every youtuber push this crap?

Prime is run by Youtubers actually. Specifically Logan Paul.

There was a good long period of maybe a decade where GameStop was going so hard on pre-orders that they would intentionally under stock new games so that if you tried to buy it on release day they would tell everyone they were sold out and they should have pre-ordered.

Beyond artificial scarcity though, you do get the occasional nonsense like that one Arkham games where an entire side story was a pre-order bonus.

Never knew that but it makes sense in hindsight why something like Brawl wouldn't have been in-stock.

I remember buying Brawl on release and they told me I should have preordered and something like a $5 charge to do so... went right across the street to Toys R Us and they had plenty.

Personally, I don't see the point unless you want that lame preorder bonus these days for most titles, some games don't even let you preload.

can you explain this?

Atlus always releases an updated version with slightly more content after a couple years.

Persona 5 Royal
Persona 4 Golden
Persona 3 Fes
Catherine Full Body

Capcom does the same crap. Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen was released as a standalone title instead of an expansion, they've done it with several other titles as special editions like DMC.

Waiting for the updated rerelease so I can pre-order and then cancel the pre-order

He can't keep getting away with it!

She got promoted heavily and got attached to other popular streamers that themselves are connected to popular streamers.

Doesn't help that her fanbase is primarily lonely men that didn't care when they were called a bunch of broke morons when pointing out that her cookies were just overpriced white label cookies from costco.

Actually, now that I think about it, I do remember at some point reading about the "trick" of switching all the CPUs to human players on the last turn of the game, so that after the game was over you would collect all of the coins/stars the CPUs had gathered.

But this was years after I'd basically finished my time with MP1, so I never put this to use.

Pretty much the least time consuming way to get Stars and Coins since you can tell the game to skip CPUs playing mini-games. I remember occasionally watching the CPUs play and swapping controls so I didn't have them waste coins on boos.

When I did my test for getting my learners permit, I just got the required number of correct answers which is like 20 and then just randomly picked the rest of them so I could go home.
Got a good laugh out of it too, since the guy behind me failed his test.

Bout 20 years ago. Was really good.

It actually came back in 2012 for some more seasons till 2016 actually.

who?

Old show on discovery channel, basically Man vs Wild without the artifical drama.

I would sooner take to the woods and embrace the knowledge I've learned from Survivor Man.

Reminds me of all those videos of idiot parents having their terrified children pose with wild animals or have them sit on top of them.
Complete morons.

So does it at least power on? If not my last guess outside of it being DOA is your cable for the power button being damaged.

A software update could make the rule that the accelerator being pressed all the way down for more than, say, half a second is probably an unintended input that should be ignored. Boom, problem solved.

First off, that would imply killing the motor if you were doing it deliberately for whatever reason.
Second, that's not an excuse to not fix a serious design flaw that could get you stuck on the road waiting for a towtruck, if not leaving you in the middle of a highway.

Say what you want about Goku being a deadbeat. As far as Saiyans go, at least he was there for Gohan as a kid, unlike the majority of Saiyans.

Dunno, the boot screen wouldn't even come on. Think it's just doa

By chance you didn't just yolo the install and slap everything together, did you?
It might be your ram is installed in the wrong slots for a two stick configuration. (Did that exact thing and it wouldn't boot )
They need to be installed in slots B2 and A2 for some dumb reason iirc, not B1 and A1.

I mean if they wrote good animation like Batman TAS and Justice League, people would still care.

Sword of Moonlight without an instruction manual.

Look, I know oil makes a normal sandwich taste great TC. But don't you think putting it on a cheesesteak with pepperoni and fried onions is a bit too much oil?.

They did lock the threads.

Though, it could be the problem with moderators pointing out you can name certain kinds of sites now a couple weeks back. Might be a rollback of that particular interpretation since people probably abused it in their eyes.

Just got uncomfortable at the thought of being interviewed about being a GameFAQs mod for a documentary. (I don't even know if there is a single story I could tell that would be interesting to anyone outside of the GameFAQs community.)

I'm 100% certain people would laugh their asses off if you told the story of CjayC implementing an auto-mod that suspends users that get marked too much... Only to then get suspended for the post announcing it.

Have the new protagonist walk into the shower only to find the original protagonist ahowering already in all his highly detailed muscular glory with minimal censorship for the magazine.
It will turn out that the last several volumes were actually a coma arc.

Stubbing a toe in the cold is rough. Biting your cheek last for second

I've bit my cheek before, you bite it once you'll bite it again while chewing since it's now inflamed.

Universal has a third party verify disabilities prior to issuing the disability pass (which ironically you need to wait in line to get reissued every two weeks.)
So how people are faking disabilities at Disney is beyond me, unless Disney is just going to say anyone that their minimum wage employees think aren't actually disabled are committing fraud. You don't have to be in a wheelchair or use a cane to get a pass. So I can see it backfiring spectacularly on them if they're standard is "I think."

I remember when Newegg was doing that during covid with video cards. Then they jacked up the price, essentially scalping them like ebay sellers. I "won" once but didn't buy it.

I don't remember them doing that. But I do remember them bundling them with those Gigabyte PSUs that were known to fry the computer spectacularly, and components that weren't even compatible with the rest of the parts (like DDR4 for a DDR5 motherboard, or a PSU that was too small for the GPU.)
