I would say their Big Mac prices are slightly below average the other burger prices. It's certainly less than a Whopper in my region. It's about $3.60 in my region which is EU2.53. I think the whole deal with fries and a drink come out to just around 5 dollars (EU3.51).

I guess you do better than the average American on that topic then :)

I can point out where some of the major states and cities are approximately, but don't ask me where Oklahoma is or what the state capital of Ohio is. I've never had to learn that in school and never bothered to look into it either.

You're talking to the guy who won his 8th grade World Geography Bee. :)
And Oklahoma, if you know where Texas is then it's the wasteland north of it. Capital of Ohio is Columbus (aced my state capitals quiz in the 5th grade, heh.)

Yeah. With all the money Harvard receives I'm sure they can give high quality education, but indeed people probably mostly go there for the name. I'm sure you can get an (about) equally good job with a degree from any other good university.

It's a good thing there are also schools who give financial aid. As far as I know there are none of those in Holland. Up until now there wasn't much need for them, but if the government decides to cut back on student support, free public transport AND raise the yearly fees with 3,000 euros for all those who take two extra years to complete their studies, I know it's gonna get pretty tough for some people.

Most public universities hand out scholarship and grants to some degrees but most student rely on financial aid from the Government with grants and low rate student loans. I don't know how Harvard or other college like them stays in business but I guess most are willing to go into severe debt just for it's name.

I don't know. I haven't heard anything of it lately, but it could be that the case was postponed until months from now (as usual).

Yeah, court cases tend to take a long time.

While the outcome is sometimes oh-so obvious. Especially when celebrities or politicians are up on trial. The cases sometimes drag on for years while everybody knows they're gonna get away with a fine at best. Unless of course they have really murdered somebody.

That could be it. I can't find the scene on Youtube either, so I can't try to refresh my memory.

It's possible to find it in one of the walkthrough/LP videos but I'm sure there's far too many.

Yeah Youtube is filled with those. Oh well, I might see it someday if I decide to play the game again.

Well of course they have been ranked the #1 university in the world for God knows how many times, so they've build up an indestructable reputation at this point. And you know how rich families like to show off.

The first few boxes are now in the new appartement, but most of our stuff will be moved in two weeks. We still have to pack quite a few things.

I hate it when celebrities are on trial and they get away no matter what. At least there are some who are dealt with accordingly like the original Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno who's in jail for several months for benefit fraud.

I have finally obtained 90% of the medal points available on the GamesWithMedals page. The rest are either really freaking hard (translation: obnoxious), glitchy, incredibly grindy, or a combination thereof. Oh, and a good majority of them are 50-100 point packages.

Hopefully the next time I do this it winds up being 9000 blams instead of 33,000 saves.
