The difficulty Tim Horton's workers seem to have getting my very simple order right. And cthulu help me if I ask for a half sugar or half cream. It's almost worth the extra $.65 to get a Starbucks coffee instead, they've yet to screw up. Plus cinnamon in coffee is amazing.

Sounds awesome. I'm surprised Microsoft has offices in Fargo of all places though.

Started playing DOTA 2 with some friends. I'm absolutely terrible.

Just beat Saints Row III, probably going to try and finish Borderlands now.

I found Rapgenius when it had just started, can I join your hipster club?

I'm still under $50, but I need to preorder EU IV at some point, which is another $40.

Just bought Kerbal Space Program. Someone restrain me please

Similar to healthcare, the cost of education is a lot lower per capita when it's funded by the government instead of run by corporations. That statement is misleading. It's a lower price per capita because there are more people paying - everyone who pays taxes (in the "European" system or whatever you want to call it) vs. everyone who is enrolled (in the "American" system). The price is the same in either case, and the amount paid is the same. The thing people seem to forget is that in the European system you're paying for other people to go to university through some percentage of your taxes for the rest of your life. Theoretically that amount over the course of a lifetime is equivalent to the sticker price of a four year education under the American system (though of course it isn't for most people because of graduated income taxes and sales taxes affecting individuals of different socioeconomic statuses differently). tl;dr you pay less while actually in college but that money comes from taxes which you will be paying yourself The amount paid isn't the same though. Americans pay about 1.8x more per person for healthcare than Canadians, and after some brief research you also pay more per student for education.

Bought Just Cause 1 for $.27. It's supposedly not nearly as good as the first one, but for a quarter you can't really go wrong.

Ouch, my first semester costs something like $1800

Flagfox says they're in Virginia just outside DC

I wonder if they'll drop 50% off Brave New World for Civ V, it's the only thing I really want to get for the remainder of the sale. Might pick up some cheap CKII DLC too.

Looks like it's about to go down in Oakland and New York. Oakland already had minor riots last night. EDIT: Would anyone be interested in a self defence debate thread? We haven't had a good debate thread in a while.

Picked up Borderlands 2, AoE II HD and Sniper V2 Zombies. Wanted to get BFBC2 and 'Nam but it was just a flash sale and I missed it. I got duplicates of the "Reus" trading card, if anyone needs it I'll trade for it, just PM me your Steam name.

I hate livestream players that have a pause button but don't pause. If it's just going to be live when I press play it should be a stop button, not a pause one.

I could be wrong but I believe Florida has a law preventing civil suits in self defence cases if the defendant wins. The NAACP wants the DoJ to file civil rights violation charges against him, but there was no case for murder and there's no case for that either. On the other hand, he has a good chance of winning his defamation suits, especially against NBC which edited the 911 call to make him seem racist.

Yeah Xbox caps netflix at 1080p 720p

Well what incentive does Microsoft have to let you use Netflix on your console without paying for gold?

I should never be put on a jury, because I'd be extremely likely to find someone not guilty if there was even a shred of doubt.

No really bad ones on my main, but in 07scape I lost about 35k worth of gear over 3 deaths in the first week.

Damn you! Didn't even get to watch the game, as I was at my grad.

It's probably a ploy to see if you're honest.

How can people be proud of buying xp? I mean it's one thing if you want x combat level for pvp/pvm, but buying xp after 99 is just sad.
