I wonder if holding the door open for people is just an American thing because I have never seen it here.

Mind you, people will hold the door open until the other person is close enough to hold it open himself, but you never let the other person go first.

Oh well, generally that's what I mean, unless they have stuff in their hands or a stroller or something, in which case I'll let them through. You'd be surprised how many people just let the door swing shut in to the people behind them without a backwards glance..

[Dutchling]

Flying Dice's comment suggests otherwise.

I generally let everybody walk through then go myself

Quetzalcoatlus.

They're like... fucking amazing. They were lizards, flew, and were the size of giraffes. It's the closest I'll get to a real-life dragon having ever existed, so...

They were reptiles, but not 'lizards'.

I think this person just spontaneously combusted from the burn.

.-.
is it that strange to marry virgin?

For me, yes. But that's not really the point. Saying that is like saying "If they steal your watch, burn them alive, as they were never human in the first place!" is kind of over-kill. Then having someone say "Is it that weird to not want your watch stolen...?"

If you read "Sid Meier's Civilization' right, it reads "Sid Meier is Civilization".
...
Sounds like an action movie.

[Orange Wizard]

That's not how apostrophes work.

Anyway, NZ is in Zone One, so on you.

Not that I'm going to be playing the game. I just have no idea why we're getting it first. And by first I mean in ten minutes' time(!?).

Unless I read the dates wrong and we're actually last, which would make more sense.

[Arx]

One AM! Not that I'm planning on playing it...

Isn't there some degree of disparity between watch-stealing and virginity? I'm not really an expert on either, but they seem a little different.

Poor Iran, Syria, Burma Myanmar Shaving Cream, Venezuela, Cuba, Kosovo, Sudan, Sri Lanka, and DPRK.  No Steam, punk or otherwise.

[Descan]

It could have been anything, you're missing the point as well.

Personally, virginity is a load of bollocks, but either way, that's not what the point of that was. It's the whole "She's not a virgin, therefore the marriage doesn't exist and she should be killed," part.

I get to play it at 11 tonight! Fuck yeah!

Oh it unlocks at 9 pm tonight for me, awesome.

How come Ethiopia, Falklands, Myanmar (I think), and Shri Lanka don't get steam support? NK, Venezuela, and Cuba I could see not having it for political reasons, but not the others.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Here's hoping it isn't a massive disappointment. Seriously, god help Firaxis if they fuck it up.

The more hype goes up, the more expectations are raised, the more likely a product is to be considered shit even if it isn't that terrible. I call this the Spore Principle.
