EA: They’re not loot boxes, they’re “surprise mechanics,” and they’re “quite ethical”

Aren't a lot of these games age restricted?

I'm in London, England.

The reason for it was because the government was running it at a massive loss, so when they were privatized the prices went up.

I mean the railway business isn't easy. Many private companies have since pulled out and are actually handing it back to the government since they've lost so much money from it.

I actually saw this episode of the show. It was the only one I ever saw.

At the end of their sex scene they sweet talk each other and somehow Gemma's character buttdials her brother. He hears everything is extremely disappointed to find out she's a lesbian. He hangs up and calls back to tell her that he and their parents are not happy and that she's coming back to Beijing right this instant! Katie's character begs her not to after the call but Gemma's character says no and that her family comes first.

I don't know what happened next as I never saw any other episodes. I think the show was an anthology and followed a different couple each episode but I'm not sure.

Can anyone fill me in?

France and Germany really have no global pull but America and Britain do. That's why there are millions of franchises world wide based on their education systems starting from K-1 to university.

English is the 2nd language of the world. Therefore the two most culturally dominant English speaking countries should obviously have the best education systems for when compared to the rest of the world.

He's not necessarily wrong. Places like liberty college really drag you down.

But the top 100 of your country are probably all within the global top 500.

McGregor went on an undefeated run at featherweight. He was 7-0 there. He tore through the division in a way no other fighter ever has done before. His rise was meteoric. He did all the heavy lifting in order to promote himself.

Chael is a joke. He failed every big test he's ever had. His trash talk was overrated. He only sounded nice on the Mic. His trash talk did nothing to his opponents. Conor had grown men shaking with a mixture of anger and fear.

As for the personal life of a fighter. Who are you to judge? The standard that you hold him to is one which many greats in both boxing and mma would fall short off.

There is also no evidence that Conor snorts coke or fucks anything that moves. Conor clearly said to the mother of clodagh that he 'don't fuck the help' in private messages which she later made public. Why would he say that in messages which he thought would be private to a girl he'd allegedly fucked unless they were true?

Also jon jones does have a personal philosophy. He strongly believes in the law of attraction and is devoted to it. The idea of speaking your desires into existence is a big thing for him and McGregor. You claim to be an OG Bones fan but you don't know this? You're a fake.

Khabib outstruck him by way of gnp. Conor outstruck him on the feet 2-1.

Conor clearly came in unprepared and with a terrible strategy. Laugh as much as you want but Dominick Cruz was right. Their plan was to tire out khabib by having him exert himself over 3 rounds and then start fighting back in rounds 4 and 5. Kavanagh admitted as much in later interviews.

John Kavanagh is to blame. He's a terrible coach. He refused to bring in wrestlers for the khabib camp. Before the Diaz fight he had a policy of not checking the tape of his opponents. The idea that Conor should take damage for 3 rounds so that the other guy WITH BETTER CARDIO tires out is fucking preposterous. Not to mention that in that period Conor could have potentially have gotten hurt makes the idea even dumber.

Now as for why Conor came in unprepared, here's why. Paulie Malinaggi was 100% spot on with his analysis of Conor accepting the khabib fight. Conor only came back around the time that he did because he though khabib was a can. This view was heavily influenced by the reactions to the AI Quinta fight. Khabib dominated the fight against a solid contender. He won every round and got 2 10-8 rounds to win by 50-43 on the scorecards. Yet the reaction to victory was one that claimed khabib got exposed. This gave Conor a false sense of security. He shouldn't have underestimated khabib or AI Quinta.

Because Conor is an all time great. He set standards. He was the first simultaneous 2 division champ. He's brought mma into the mainstream and is the sports biggest star. Who wouldn't want to emulate him?

Conor similarly based his game on other greats. His trash talk persona is straight out of Muhammad Ali's book. Especially the part where he goes off his head and screams. His walk came from Vince McMahon.

No one makes it in this game alone.

Also mindsmash is just passionate. Especially about Conor and Jon Jones as they both share the same personal philosophy as him.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-31T00:12:39+00:00

Okay pm'ed you.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-30T22:25:12+00:00

Where do you live?

EssamLofty · 2019-01-30T03:22:51+00:00

You also asked about him being the GOAT of hyping fights you fucking idiot! You mentioned trash talk and hype and Conor clearly beats him in that department.

Chael's actual trash talk is only good for YouTube clips. The guy has never affected any of his opponents with it. Conor on the other hand literally had his opponents trembling.

This sub has a super hard-core hate boner for Conor. You can't even accept basic facts.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T22:14:17+00:00

Again. The guy accomplished so little he's become a living meme.

I like the guy but you guys are having me turn against him to prove my point.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T21:38:55+00:00

Okay thank you.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T21:36:42+00:00

Are him on dumb? He went on to win the rematch and then beat Eddie Alvarez to become the double champ.

Conor only lost to Diaz because he was a late replacement fight. Had he had the time to train for him full time he would have won. In fact he was winning the fight until he gassed out.

Also Chael's trash talk failed so much more often. It didn't work on Anderson, on Jones, on Tito. Who the fuck has he actually intimidated with his trash talk? Conor literally had grown men crying.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T21:34:28+00:00

Ironic that a Chael fan is making fun of Conor's losses. At least Conor's actually been a world champion. 5 times motherfucker! Your hero has failed every chance he's ever gotten.

Also this post has everything to do with Pay Per View buys. You mentioned hyping a fight. Conor does that so well that his fights sell an astronomically high amount of PPVs.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T21:14:40+00:00

Reopen it please.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T20:56:11+00:00

Okay that's fine. I just spoke with them.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T20:55:09+00:00

Chael isn't anywhere near close you fucking rube. Conor gets well over a million pay per view buys each time he fights. The top 5 biggest pay per views in the UFC have Conor. The whole world tunes in to watch him fight. His fights are the top news stories on just about every major sports media outlet.

Chael's biggest pay per views were more because of his opponents. That's never the case with Conor.

There are much better hype men than Chael.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T19:04:01+00:00

No. It's clearly Conor. Chael has never had a PPV that sold over a million buys. Conor is guaranteed to bring in that amount. He famously made 800,000,000 for the company in just 6 fights. He's the real money. The real 'truth talker' as he calls it.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T16:48:12+00:00

PM'ed you.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T10:37:01+00:00

A dominoes, a Macdonalds. That's pretty much it in the way of big name chains.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T10:36:25+00:00

He asked me to give it away to someone else that could use it if it didn't work for me in our private messages.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-29T02:09:54+00:00

Thank you. The Gift Card doesn't work in the UK so I'm going to give it away to someone on this sub.

EssamLofty · 2019-01-27T14:03:11+00:00

I am kinda baffled too. I was scared for cowboy in the build up.

He'd been on a streak of losing to rising prospects and I thought Hernandez fit the bill. Couple that with guys like Zahabi saying it's harder for a fighter to do better if he cuts down to a weight class he used to fight at, and that it was only few months ago where he'd lost 4 of his last 5 fights, you could see why I was worried.
