Then again, looking at the kind of women he pines after, I kind of see why he feels the need to treat interactions with females like a war. Dude needs to trade up hardcore.

in london you get a moderate apartment for roughly US 20,000 a month
you have to be shitting me
I seriously cannot believe that
even in NYC I'm pretty sure you can get a nice apartment for 5,000 US a month
god I can't even imagine paying 5k a mo in rent, let alone 20k
A nice apartment in NYC is a minimum of 2500 dollars. This is for more than 500 square feet, a good location, a doorman and maybe a balcony.
A great location will make the same 500 sq. feet about 5 grand.
Some of the apartments I really want cost millions of dollars to own, but are usually entire floors of buildings with keyed elevator access and huge terraces. I do not expect to have one, but it is a nice fantasy.
yes that is like what I am saying
NYC, you can get a nice place for 5k a month
that's way more than I can imagine paying, but it's also a fraction of what it costs to live in london aparently
I just can't really accept that there is a city where a standard 2 bedroom apartment will cost you $24,000US a month
you have to pull down 300k/yr to pay for just your rent
how can anyone afford to live there
Dude. Western London is where all the plutocrats live in the summer, or when they go shoppping. They are so far detached from where the rest of us are that the rich city boys who earn 300k a year are priced out of the market
Also Elendil my reply to your huh? was eaten by the forums.
I was mostly just saying that I had the mental image of Themyscira as being full of semi-immortal wonder women and apparently none of them can fly and also there are male amazons which I guess I would approve of politically but it's not really what I had in mind for the RPG.
I have a vague mental image of a few amazons and one other character as a guide, maybe a ghost who's been summoned up to perform some task that requires them leaving Themyscira. I'd like to do something fairly overtly about gender (and rolling dice and kicking ass) within that whole DC universe.
So even if it was all in soft focus and not really involving any actual big name super heroes, I figured I could easily make it seem like a side story that could happen in a DC book. It will probably require more bending than that, and I kind of knew a Green Lantern one would require some liberties too.
I'm not really big on stories that do wild What If?-y things in RPGs specifically in the context of superheroes for some reason. Like, if I did star wars I would want it to be based in all of George Lucas' silliness.

i read the Game out of curiosity. Then I took a shower. Holy shit that is a rabbit hole that goes deep.

To be fair it isn't really a standard apartment. Anything with an SW postcode costs a freaking fortune.
Fortunately London's transport network is such that a half hour commute can carry you some quite considerable distance away from the centre of the city. There are actually people that commute from Birmingham into London (an hour and twenty minutes) two or three times a week because it's cheaper than living there.
My girlfriend has such a fucking broken homelife. Her brother just got arrested for punching out their mom. Great.
Edit: Also, Chu, you're a 10.5? You're fucking like 6'2". I'm a god damn 12.
That's awesome justin, so like just decided to knock out the mom, or was this an escalation of meth grievences?
I have no idea. I met the kid on Saturday for the first time and he's a fantastic spinner of lies. Talking about a former girlfriend in Japan and his current one is in China. About how he used to be the administrator for PSN Magazine before it was official with Sony. And then some other bullshit about how next year from now, he plans on going to China to get his girlfriend, marry her and have 2 kids. Like, what the fuck? He's 27, lives at home, and from I'm told his room is a pile of filth but I've never seen it.
That said, I got her memory for her laptop and it came in this tiny like 2"x2" box. I just put it in a huge box and wrapped it under our tree. She's going to be all excited that I got her something huge.

It's all about neighborhoods.
If you want to live in the tower on the UWS in NYC that Madonna lives in, be prepared to pay a minimum of 12-15k a month. Minimum.
Then there are the 4-5k/month maintenance fees.

also, the trial they got was so hilariously stupid you could almost think that it was really a bunch of racist trolls who did it
because they had military IDs with them (which of course has the insignia of the norwegian king on them) they accused them of being on an espionage mission for King Harald V
also, that killing a random driver was part of an insidious plan to fuck up all of congo
maybe
just maybe
their story that members of the rebel/bandit group in the area tried to rob them and shot their driver is the truth
Secret spying mission for not-so-imperialist Norway: ludicrous idea.
Chance they were doing something morally questionable in Africa: pretty high.
they had this like training camp shit
experience what war is like or whatever? It was a seriously dumb idea. they're just two fools.
but anyway
yeah
that's the attitude over here too
but their trial was still complete bullshit

Gingercakes, is there a reason your sister-in-law's status is listed as 'single' while your brother's is listed as married?
I think it's a joke. Who the hell is my sister-in-law, anyway?
Go look at your brother's info, it says he's married to someone.
Oh, I see, you know the hypothetical sister-in-law is listed as single because it doesn't say who he's married to.
Yeah, I think it's a joke.
Ah, my cousin did that. Given how bad she is at communicating with the family it caused a bit of a panic for a little while until she cleared it up.
Edit - Heh, I don't think your brother was expecting such a vehement response.
Hah I feel kind of bad for him, he's really just a kid who wants to have the edge on reality. But the only way he's gonna learn is if he's told, and he won't listen to me. Maybe hearing it from someone else will drive it home.

There are places in Brooklyn where you can get a 2 dollar slice, two of which are the size of a small Pizza Hut pie.
I'll get two slices and a can soda for about 6 bucks, and I am full until dinner. I know if I ever leave this area I will miss this stuff.
