In my experience most of the girls that do that do it for fun. In fact, I was just at a party with one. It wasn't even a costume party, it was outdoors, it was cold, and yet she was a "sexy ninja panda." I don't think it had anything to do with any pressures, she just wanted to "look cute." It's fine that there be a message for girls that don't want to dress skimpy, but to be honest, she was the one that was ridiculed. These other girls were being complete bitches to her, when really she had just made a costume and wanted and excuse to show it off. Where's the video for girls that want to dress like that, want to think it's okay, and don't want to be told they are only doing it for men/outside pressures?

..that would have been an expensive broken arm. I wonder if the manager was happy about this? Still.. go panda go! ..and with the bubblegum!

GO Panda! GO Giants!

This isn't the pandy that just kicked the fluffy bucket, issit??

Thanks, lucky!

Well maybe I need a few drinks to really respond to your argument properly, but I'll do my best while sober

I think it's a bug and a coincidence. I was really talking about phones and other embedded devices rather than laptops, but you have a point that it's kinda similar here.

Here's the thing though: Win8 is so different to win7 and vista that Microsoft would be taking a huge risk if they tried to make people switch to it before they got used to the change. Given that people will have to re-learn a whole lot of stuff (or install classic shell) anyway, what's to stop them looking around and buying a macbook air, or installing Ubuntu on their old laptop?

Look, I readily concede that your way is possible, but it just doesn't seem terribly likely to sober me (drunk me could have a different opinion, but I wouldn't listen to him if I were you).

Hang on a sec - what your saying is old unsupported devices - such as a 4 year old Windows Vista 7 laptop have a best version. So why, JUST NOW, right when win8 is around the corner are the automatic updates which are enabled on every new PC restricting my dad's functionality?

This isn't a case of his installed the latest win8 beta (he has not surprisingly as he was in IT for 30 years - but it's in a separate boot partition and runs all of his usb functions perfectly). This is an update to vista 32 bit drivers which has lessoned his functionally roughly a month before win8 comes out.

Could be a bug, could be a coincidence. Could be microsoft are shaking the tree just enough to make people question if they need the new OS.

Lets take a couple more points of view - you've probably seen the start trek TNG vs special edition videos where the original footage looked WAY worse than what was aired originally. If not maybe your a gamer? Notice how blizzard are preparing "Titan" for launch (new mmo) whilst at the same time releasing a kung-fu panda expansion for wow whilst addressing none of the failings Guild Wars 2 has highlighted.

It pays for companies to make their old products look obsolete whilst retaining their brand loyalty

Sorry for rant - had a few to drink.

Since the update introduced an unwelcome new feature and you had to roll back, you're kinda supporting my point actually : Every old unsupported device has one "best" version, and it's not always the newest one.

Microsoft say Oct 26 for Win 8, but you'd have to look at the machine specs to see if an upgrade is possible. The interface changes haven't been welcomed by all, either.

Quite a few people hold back on new windows releases until the teething issues have been ironed out... so win 7 is looking good at this point.

You say that but I was round at my dads today and he'd had to roll back his Vista laptop to an earlier backup because the latest "updates" meant it no longer had the USB resources to run both his printer and scanner. When's Win 8 out again?

It definitely doesnt blow. I have been spending huge amounts of time in WvW and that shit gets as brutal as fuck. I have attacks as an engineer that out of thirty people attacking will be the one move that launches the dude being attacked ten feet through the air and then they will be unable to get up, they will probably be down long enough that they are fucked, they can fight back while they are on the ground, if they take someone out they will revive, or they can wait for someone to revive em. But, probably what is going to happen is after I blast them through the fucking air and they are unable to get up someone is gonna fucking stake their ass and they will have to tele back to their starting zone. Dodging is a godsend to a game like this.

WoW would have made you spend months getting to the required level but since it auto 80s everyone you could level from level one all the way to level 80 just by playing WvW. I havent played a game in a long time that is as fun as this game. But, its not all roses... the WvW definitely has problems but I am also not the sort to get bogged down by all the fucking details or to spend every waking hour playing it; I guess I am its targeted audience. Yeah have fun playing as a fucking panda....

Ohhhhhhh, it's so tinyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.


And loud.

As much as I think Pandas are fucking stupid, this trailer is brilliant. Maybe even better than the Wrath of the Lich King trailer. Love the slight comedy, and the very stylistic human and orc. Their cinematics are getting more stylistic now too, as opposed to diablo 3's more realistic style. This suits them better.

Seriously? They've jumped the panda. This is the beginning of the final ending of WOW.

>> ^EMPIRE:

amazing CG.
But I can't help but get the feeling that this is Kung Fu Panda 3.
And by the way Blizzard... Seriously? You can't reach into your pockets and grab 150 million dollars or so, and just create a damn feature length movie already? It's not like you don't have the money, and it's not like it wouldn't make more than enough money back.


That or Kung Fu panda was written by a guy who saw the Pandarans in Warcraft 3 and decided to make a movie about that. Let's check the timeline.

But yeah, why the hell did they decide to go with a live action WoW movie when they are themselves brilliant at CG. Square made the transition to movie making. . . it was a miserable failure, but still.

bah *dead . Sad panda.

There was heaps of this going on though. Who can blame them? Wish I was in that kind of shape. Then again.... donuts taste so good.

Panda Bear was big on sampling The Tornados., check it out:
