Roguey was wrong again :smug:
You're getting a little used to this Youtube unboxing thing, aren't you? Thinking of making a career out of it?
Maybe Downunderlord could start aping pewdiepie and doing LPs of old school CRPGs. He could gain more viewers in a month than Matt Barton in half a decade, which would make for pretty sweet butthurt.

Maybe someone should have made a similar bet with Cleve some years ago.

My guess is their only reward would be their "mascara tears"...

You naysayers will be eating crow and substantial amounts of it, first when I cruise through 250G like it wasn't even there and then when I release the game on May 1st. I don't want to think about the mascara tears running down your cheeks when you realize it will be DRM forever after and your one shot to get the physical copy has forever passed you by.

There will be only one opportunity to get the box, manual and full solution guide and this will be it. I will video myself after the fulfillment pledges tossing the masters for the DVD and manual into a woodchipper which will spit the fragments into the lake of a rock quarry with the entire surface covered with diesel oil. I will then throw a flare into the quarry causing a massive explosion that can be seen from hundreds of miles away, effectively incinerating even the possibility of anything physical shipping ever again.

Dryzone... sounds like it has something to do with women:
A woman can be to dry, for sex. In that case alcohol may act as a lubricant for the spirit of both partners. Or it sounds like a pad or tampon. Fuck what is going on in Australia. Is the sharia already installed there? How can the good old prisoner heirs allow this?
This is clearly a reason why australia is safe from me. I know why i prefer good countries like Ireland, Scotland, Finland, Russia, the entire EE and parts of France, England, Spain and Italy. Luckily in germany we can also drink.

Probably. I assumed it's a place where you are forbidden to drink but I can't believe such places exist, except middle east

I thought they only existed in the US. There are areas there where alcohol is not allowed. One such area, hilariously, is where the Jack Daniels distillery is located.

Dry zones

Many towns and communities ban outdoor consumption of alcohol. Dry zones are often established by local councils after certain areas, such as local city parks, become favourite locations for problem drinking, violence, and anti-social behavior. Some local councils further restrict consuming alcohol in outdoor public areas, such as local streets, footpaths, and hiking trails.

What a fucked up places in the first world. You cannot order a beer in the public, in a restaurant. Or you cannot drink a Shandy, while you are throwing some meat on the BBQ in the park, to compete with the turks, who brought their entire doner kebab food booth. Nor laugh about some drunk polacks, that are standing before ALDI and drinking Vodka. If not for the sun the suicide rate would skyrocket.

Northern European Protestants (Britain and its colonies, Scandivanians) have historically had problems with alcohol. These laws are a remnant of that.

Actually, Germans have a drinking problem too, they just don't care:

From the NYT, a map of percentage of adults who admit to binge-drinking:

The lowest state was Utah, the highest Wisconsin.

Sounds like a nice place. Public drunks are degenerates and a menace. The alcohol culture is very uncivilized in anglosphere countries. Maybe not as bad as in Russia, but chavs and bogans are disgusting plebeians.
And knowing the local laws, it's likely to repel obnoxious young extroverts and older bohemian types alike from moving in.

Nice correlation map Infi. Some alcoholics drink in public with friends, but most alcoholics drink alone and in private. And if you belong to the second group, then you know that you have a alcohol problem.

Yes we need 'Zucht und Ordnung' and 'Kruppstahl und Leder'. (While my right arm is slowly rising.) JOKE!!!
A to dead sterile environment is also not good and it sounds like a place, where only old farts are living, and dying. But it may be, that my opinion is based upon the fact, that i lived in the St.Pauli red light district.

Naw they put shrimps on the barbie in the land down under.
Beh. Snobbish sterile bug eaters. If i would be in australia, the first thing i would do is run into the outback. Living in the desert or with the crocodiles and mosquitoes is a paradise against this.

Don't forget us pasty young pencil necks who like to larp edgy anti heroes and warhammer 40K characters on the internet
