    15k job, moving house. What would be the perfect rent?

    Though I admit I'm not taking tax into this, so that could be throwing my maths off substantially. I was rather hoping I wouldn't have to go back with houseshares at this point :/ Downsides to the first job I guess.

    15k job, moving house. What would be the perfect rent?

    I work 9 hours a day at £7.50, making around £67.50 a day (without adding any overtime) I do that five days of the week (weekend wage is doubled but I'm not doing it) which adds to... £337. I've had wages through already and it all adds up on my end, why think it must be less? I've seen...

    15k job, moving house. What would be the perfect rent?

    Strange question I know, but there are people here on the Big-E with more life experience so it can't hurt to ask. I have a new job paying 15.5k, getting paid just over £300 per week (paid weekly). I'm looking for a new place and wonder what a good bracket for rent prices would be, considering...

    Looking for a CERTAIN Batman story that may not exist.

    After talking to a friend of mine about various Batman canons I seemed to remember something, that may or may not be real. Was there a storyline where the Batman was accused of inventing the Joker himself and staging all of the Jokers crimes? I seem to have the idea in my head that at some...

    Loved Portal/2, is Half Life worth it?

    Playing through the game to the final hour for a bridge doesn't sound all that appealing to me. I'm sure HL2 is good in its own qualities, but the games have a totally different feeling that doesn't quite work for me.

    Loved Portal/2, is Half Life worth it?

    Just finished Portal 2 (put it off forever) and admit I adored the finale. Not just because the game is funny and enjoyable in itself, but also the layers of context involved (such as Coraline's relationship with Chel, and the subtext of the Promethius myth). Since I believe Portal and Half...

    Warhammer 40k; Deathwatch > Honour the Chapter question

    Anyone who's familiar with the Warhammer rpg Deathwatch is probably aware there was a recent release of 'Honour the Chapter', which detailed how to use Second Founding chapters. Despite it being out (as far as I'm aware) I've not been able to find any news on what chapters those ARE. Does...

    Red vs Blue; Much better than expected

    Alright I have to admit, the Tex on MainxYorkxWyoming training scene was freaking epic. Actually starting to get into the whole Freelancer backstory going on. Even though the original team is still my favourite part, gotta love the epic exposition. You know what it reminds me of? The Horus...

    Red vs Blue; Much better than expected

    Oh god yeah, plot holes like no other. The time travel thing is especially riddled, but it IS a comedy show so I kind of accept that... Started 9, I'm actually very surprised they chose to follow Church into the Epsilon! I thought it was a great ending as it was. Kind of weird knowing what the...

    Red vs Blue; Much better than expected

    Tell me about it, I was shocked at the changes after season 5 alone! But 6-8 was the best part by far. Feel a little crushed about how things ended with Church but it was a very good ending all the same. Starting 9 now- it seems quite prequel-ish. Do they not follow the Gulch crew anymore?

    Red vs Blue; Much better than expected

    Years late to the party here, I had a friend of mine recap the entire of the RvB storyline to me like 2 years ago or so. Got bored and decided to watch some of it, ended up watching ALL of it (currently just finished series 8). Have to say... 6-8 is some of the best damn narrative I've seen...

    Books you regret reading

    'Catcher in the Rye' 'Alias Grace' The original ending to 'The Prestige' Everything else I've read was good. I don't tend to pick up stuff I find questionable.

    Unfortunate Warhammer 40k Itch

    For some reason I have my mind stuck in 40k, but can't seem to find much lasting amusement in Dawn of War, Space Marine (game), or collecting anything outside the upcoming Chaos Marine release. You know what I'd love to see happen? That 40k MMO that's been announced, and then re-announced...

    Horibble Ports for PC

    Strangely enough my worst experience has been with one of the reportedly best ported games. DMC3 on the PC is supposed to be an excellent translation, but using a controller only half the buttons actually work even when correctly configured (and the controller is perfect all other times). Just...
