  1. Wondering why MW3, a game released by Activision who are renowned for over-pricing everything, costs $60 for a pre-order plus a copy of COD 4 which costs $50 on Steam. Whereas Rage costs $90 US... What a rip-off.

     

    I'm also wondering why Duke Nukem's first DLC pack is a map pack that costs a ridiculous $10 for some areas "parodied" from other games.

  2. Ross, I know it's funny and tempting to post stupid options in the poll--but all it does is take away votes from legitimate options and skews the results.

     

    If they're going to post a stupid answer they obviously don't care either way, I'd think that people voting for something they know nothing about would skew the results more than a couple of silly answers for people to choose if they don't really care.

  3. A phrase taken from a popular joke. To say someone is "in the barrel" or "taking a turn in the barrel" means it's their turn to do an unpleasant task or to suffer an unpleasant experience. The joke is as follows:

    A sailor on a Navy ship had been out to sea for weeks, and was beginning to go through sex withdrawals. Fed up with the lack of sex, he asked one of his shipmates what he did when the pressure was too much to take.

     

    "Well, there's a barrel with a hole in it near the mop storage. When it gets to be too much for us, we use that."

     

    So the sailor went over to the barrel and decided to give it a go. Finding it was better than he'd expected, he began using it regularly, and his problems seemed to vanish.

     

    After a couple of weeks, his commanding officer began to take notice, and said, "You seem to be a lot more relaxed. What's your secret?"

     

    The sailor, embarrassed to give a straight answer, simply said he'd been getting better rest.

     

    "Well good, sailor. You're going to need it," replied the officer. "Today's your turn in the barrel."

  4. I'd say that it's all contextual, for example if I asked you were you were from I'd probably mean what country. If someone from your country asked they probably mean your city/ town. If someone at your school asked they probably mean your address/ suburb.
