  • It comes from the publishers in the 90s. They needed an easy way to tell stores/distributors how popular they thought each of their games would be, to help them decide how many of a certain title the distributor should order. The games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for “this is a starshot, we’re hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs”. That then lead to more and more games being marked as AAA due to budgets getting increased, and the whole system became a bit redundant.







  • This is forgetting, of course, that Russia has enough nuclear weapons to wipe the UK off the face of the earth before we even land the first troops on Russian soil.

    With that in mind, I guess he’s insinuating we’re going to be embroiled in yet another proxy war in the not-too-distant future. I can’t wait to find out which poor country is going to get screwed over for the next 20 years in the name of “freedom”, only for us to give up and let everything slide back into an even worse state yet again, because Afghanistan and Iraq taught us nothing in that regard.



  • Nah, the final arc is huge, far too long for even a 2 cour season, and there’s still a mini arc before that to tie up a loose end from season 3. Plus, I doubt they’ve storyboarded any of the unreleased chapters yet. At a guess I’d expect this to be 13 eps, then a couple more years wait, then a 2-cour season and finally a tie-in movie to finish. That being said we still don’t know how many chapters remain so it could go on longer than that.


  • I think it’s because they changed the story a little from the source material to more neatly fit it into the format they needed for Season 1. To some people familiar with the source material, that’s heresy and absolutely destroyed the story. As a fellow anime-only, however, I felt the story was perfectly fine as it was told and I’m looking forward to seeing where they take it next season.

    After all, it’s not like they pulled a God of High School on us.

    I think it’s more than fair to say if he’s earning and living with you, he should be paying (even on top of the chores). £100/mo is more than fair on £900 earnings, I’d even go so far as to say £50/week is reasonable given the prices right now.

    As for forgetting the chores, if he’s anything like I was at that age, I’d imagine he doesn’t care enough about the negative concequences of forgetting to do the chore to care about remembering, which is a hard thing to beat. It’s unlikely he understands the importance of doing chores, which will obviously create problems for others in the years to come as he moves into houseshares with others.

    The best solution I can think of is a two-pronged approach: speak to him and explain you’d like for him to be more responsible since he’ll be forced to be responsible for himself when he moves out. Second, start charging for keep too, but offer a return on rent if he remembers to put the bins out by a certain time (one that isn’t too late for you, since you will be the one that will be doing the job by default). Another idea I’ve seen, if you feel guilty taking more money than you need from him, is to keep aside some or all of it as savings for him, to give to him when he moves out to allow for him to pay his deposit and for anything he needs to buy when he moves in to his new place.
