The Elder Scrolls should be a single player game.
I'm glad Skyrim didn't have multiplayer and am a little disappointed that Bethesda decided to release an Elder Scrolls game with a monthly fee. I hope it doesn't fail and prevent us getting a proper Elder Scrolls 6.
I had one of the Tetris Watches... My Mum had an East German pen pal and had purchased it as a Christmas Gift for their children.
My Dad pointed out sending them something with "From Russia with Love" printed on the packaging in December 89 probably wouldn't go down so well and I ended up with it!
Its probably far too late to prosecute now but you have a claim under Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Eliz2/1-2/28
For the purposes of this Act worrying livestock means—
(a)attacking livestock, or
(b)chasing livestock in such a way as may reasonably be expected to cause injury or suffering to the livestock or, in the case of females, abortion, or loss of or diminution in their produce.
(c)being at large (that is to say not on a lead or otherwise under close control) in a field or enclosure in which there are sheep
There is a clause that c doesn't apply to packs of hounds but sections a and b still apply to them.
No they don't...
In the World Cup and European Championships they have got to the final once and to the Semi Finals 4 times in total (including the time they reached the final).
We generally cock it up well before the semi finals.
"I have yet to meet anybody who can type faster on their fancy custom Android keyboard than I can on my iPhone, and a fair number of people have tried"
I have yet to see anybody who can type faster on any touch screen phone that I can on my old Sony Ericsson P1i's physical keyboard. Unfortunately the phone manufacturers don't make anything with a keyboard like that any more.
Glasses are much smaller than an Android phone... One thing I don't know is if the battery is contained within the Glass unit or if you need to carry a separate battery pack?
If the battery is contained within glass I see no reason to assume it will last all day without charging, especially if you are using bluetooth.
Well I've never needed any service because my device works correctly, I've never had to search forums for an intermittent error code because I've never had an issue like that and I wouldn't describe my phone as tacky plastic.
Android and iOS games are not an answer to Nintendo's problem...
Imagine a Pokemon game released for one of the phone OS's. You would either need to spend hours searching for Pokeballs or spend your hard cash to buy some.
Alternatively they would sell it at the normal retail price and everybody would moan that it was too expensive for a phone game.
I always tell them I make websites for a living... if they want help with their website I will see what I can do but I can't help them with their rubbish laptop.
Luckily none of them have ever taken me up on the offer of helping with a website!
You would be surprised how many non-tech literate people go to facebook by double clicking the big blue "e" then typing facebook into the search box that opens on their homepage.
They do this because the first person who showed them the internet showed them this way and they never learnt any better.
