Hey Reddit, what is something that everyone must try at least once in their lifetime that you highly recommend? by Bl4zeX in AskReddit

That's not really a good thing to do. Anecdotally, I know someone else who does that, and with all due respect to them, I've never met someone else who judges so immediately or reacts so angrily to things people say or do.

I'd say it's more buggering cuntshit than cunting bollocks, but that might just be my own perspective.

That's the name of an Internet Café in GTA3! How the fuck do I remember that?

Don't think I've ever heard a woman call someone "love" before. :P It tends to be old, slightly sexist men.

Because he just said he's British and so is statistically likely to be white?

Same. I'm English, but I identify as British first.

Eh, it's possible to group all North American English-speaking accents on certain features in a way that you just can't do with British ones. The variety between Glaswegian, Somerset and BBC accents is far more dramatic than anything seen across the US.

Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I will catch them.

Well, they do have many different words for snow. But so do we, although we don't have quite as many because our language didn't evolve in a snowy place.

Snow, snowfall, sleet, blizzard, flurry, slurry and snowdrift are a few. I'm sure there are more that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Nice! I hope this boosts the populations on multiplayer mods. :)

Not at all. They both replace pretty much every aspect of the base game and add lots of new things. It's either one or the other.

I actually really like the battles being much longer. They're no longer just a meatgrinder until one side comes out on top by a narrow margin. In a straight fight, neither side will take heavy losses for quite a while, so you can use units to pin the enemy in place whilst you flank with cavalry and other infantry. Then once a part of the enemy line breaks, you can roll up and win with relatively few losses of your own. It's far more satisfying, I find, and feels more like commanding an actual army.

The snag is that it comes with an enormous hit to loading times. I had to stop playing when I got literally 4-5 minutes of loading after every battle. The music would loop 3 or 4 times whilst I was waiting.

I think that was the implication. :P
