i just had *shockingly* good service via livechat with Ryanair (for some reason my booking kept changing the date at the very last stage of payment). -- nm - Andie Oct 28, 09:24
If ST has discussed (have we?) the high school student body slammed by the security guard, the guard has just been fired. -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 09:23 6
- I thought it was a cop not a security guard -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 09:30 1

        It does have the hilarious Carly Chaikin so it can't be too bad. -- nm - mud Oct 28, 09:35
        
        The shocking reveals in episode eight weren't particularly shocking. -- nm - David Oct 28, 09:33 1
        
        Yeah, it was more of a "Huh. Well, despite making less sense, things are starting to make sense." thing. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 09:45
    - Although I keep thinking I'm an episode behind due to the odd naming convention. - David Oct 28, 09:16 1

        if he would pay me what I make currently with insurance, I would gladly run his sanctuary for him. - groiny Oct 28, 09:09

The speed of Halo 5 is a dream. The fact that they can pull this off smoothly on a 16+ multiplayer game is nothing short of miraculous for 343. - Mop Oct 28, 08:54 10
- That's solid news for Haloers. I wonder if Microsoft actively stepped in here to prevent another MCC clusterfuck. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 09:09 4
  - Sort of? The multiplayer stuff runs on Azure which is Microsoft's cloud based computing platform -- nm - JD Oct 28, 09:26 1
    - Cool. As a non-Xboner, I wasn't actively keeping tabs on it, but that's pretty solid. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 09:30
  - It's a textbook example of building new code rather than performing maintenance on code you didn't write. -- nm - David Oct 28, 09:11 1
    - Whatever they did, assuming it holds up, seems to be working which is great. - Shaun Oct 28, 09:19
- Maybe everyone is still playing the campaign. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 28, 09:00
- I would guess that they took whoever was involved in MCC..... - groiny Oct 28, 08:55
- Maybe only a few bought it? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:55 2
  - I can say, if MCC never came out, the chances that I would have Halo 5 right now would be 100% -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 08:56 1
    - Mine would fall at 99%, but agreed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:00

- [deleted] 1
  - BA is only for sale through mid-September form what I can see. But the LGW flight is $792 pretty much ever day in September that is in sale. -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 08:43
things i shouldnt read, comments on the baseball game last night. or any comments. period. -- nm - Truman Oct 28, 08:38 13
- I forgot to watch but the outcome was as desired. That means I'm not allowed to watch any games now, right? -- nm - Baron Bostwick as Brad Majors Oct 28, 08:51 1
  - The game was stuck in a tie until I went to bed, and then my team won. Does that mean I have to go to bed during each game? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:53

- It's mind-boggling how many self-inflicted wounds they have to deal with. - Will Hunting Oct 28, 08:55 5
  - so...you're going to stop watching games? - znufrii Oct 28, 09:04 2
    - I've watched maybe 7 quarters of football this year. - Will Hunting Oct 28, 09:08 1
