Re: General Discussion 5
Yeah cold gets to you sometimes it's just easier and better to sip hot chocolate next to a fireplace on a cold day.

Re: General Discussion 5
Nelson Mandela died? R.I.P
Congrats Hwd, you might have to explain all this *A**A*A*** stuff to ignorant non-British-people such as myself, though.

Re: General Discussion 5
For the short moment I was hearing the news on Nelson's death, I heard he
was a great person, loved by the people. So he has my respect so far.
Congrats, Hwd! Whatever "A*A*A*" means, I can guess it's awesome.

Re: General Discussion 5
Ah, I see. Makes sense.
Colleges around here don't look at individual grades much. GPA and standardized test scores (ACT or SAT, depending on the region) are really all they seem to care about. Some will ask about activities and stuff like that, or make you get a teacher recommendation, or write a paper, but I don't know how much they actually care about any of that. I never applied for any prestigious schools, either, so who knows.

Re: General Discussion 5
Thanks for clearing that up for us, Hwd. I finally get to understand it to some
degree. Stormy basically summed up our grading style here. Our grades are
generally averaged or something, which becomes our GPA (Grade Point
Average). Heck, I barely know how it works.

Re: General Discussion 5
From Nintendo's point of view DKCTF is their next big game for Wii U they won't say much about SSBU or MK8, X or even Bayonetta 2 till next year, The announcement about The Legend of Zelda isn't going to happen till E3 next year. So Cranky Kong being confirmed playable is cool and a good surprise. Of course they would promote their next big game.
Glad SM3DW and TLOZALBW won some words for Nintendo they deserved it.
Sony had some cool announcements Grand Theft Auto won game of the year Microsoft got a reveal trailer for Titanfall so it wasn't that bad.
Not the best but not bad.
