Every complains about how Peragus sucked, but Taris really wasn't much fun either.
I find the opening segments of most RPGs in general to be boring after the first playthrough.

Which is better, in your opinion?
For me it's KOTOR 2 by far. Better story, more interesting characters, including one of the best antagonists ever. One of my favourite games of all time.
Oh, and the Jedi Enclave scene > Revan revelation.

The thing I don't like about Common Core.. is we should be striving for the most efficient and simple way on solving a mathematical problem. I've seen that number line crap (or however the teacher is trying to present it) in action and thinking to myself, "That takes twice as long to get the same answer as just stating 30+5 is 35"
So much this. We need to be preparing children for the real life, that means teaching applied skills. In an everyday work scenario, a person will either pull out a calculator or quickly jot down a problem like 2+2x4(5-3) and solve it that way. It's simple, time saving, and the best way to do math.
You are so goddamn wrong. How the fuck can a person apply a skill that he doesn't even have?
. . . . . .
School=Education
Education=Teaching
Teaching=Learning math
Learning math=Being able to add, subtract, divide, multiple
And how, exactly, do you expect little kids to apply arithmetic when they don't understand it?
School=Education
Education=Teaching
Teaching=Learning math
Learning math=Being able to add, subtract, divide, multiple
So then why the fuck are you against using more than one example to teach children?
I'm not. I'm against the more complex and impractical form being taught. Traditional math has worked for centuries; if it isn't broke then don't fix it
So then why are you against number lines? They have also been used for centuries.
I'm just using number lines as a quick reference example. Others include whatever this shit is called
This is time consuming and VERY impractical and no logical reason to make it the main focus
what even is all this shit

That's nearly interesting enough to get my interest in the series again... if only I knew that it wouldn't play out as the same exact mission over an 8 hour campaign again...
They won't. Missions are dynamic now.
Dynamic?

What subject are you doing?
Computer Science. Kind of a hard subject to talk about.
Well I'm doing maths at uni, when I first applied to do maths, I was in the same position. I didn't know where I wanted to take it, but I wanted to do it.
I really enjoyed maths at a level, the easy stuff was boring, it was the hard stuff that I enjoyed, that's one reason for doing maths at uni, I know I'm going to like it, I'm motivated to do it, and I want to do well at it.
It's not the generic "I'm doing business/economics/whatever so I can get a high paying job but all I'm going to do throughout uni is complain about how I don't like my course." I'm choosing to do maths because I genuinely enjoy it.
Second maths is used fucking everywhere, I'm not limiting myself to any one specific job.
Same thing applies to computer science. Computers literally run the developed world at the moment, if you can computers, you can probably get a job.
I had another idea but I've forgotten it, I'll add some more if I think of them.
Also, I did computational mathematics last year, and I'm doing numerical analysis. Creating procedures and algorithms to perform specific tasks or solve mathematical problems is really fucking fun with computers and mathematical software, and especially rewarding if you can do the harder stuff. That also contributes to problem solving skills, etc...
Yeah, that last part is kind of similar to something I mentioned in my personal statement about Decision Mathematics. I guess it's the algorithmic approach to solving things that I like.

Do you do any coding outside of school, trying to create games, Java shit, that sorta thing. Talk about that.
I dreaded interviews, but thankfully none asked for them. What Uni's are asking for them? I only know Bristol and Ox-Bridge do.
I've been using Codeacademy to learn Java (course froze though) and Python. The closest other thing that I do is using the scripting language in GameMaker. Surrey's invited me to a visit day which includes a 1to1 session and potentially a formal interview. Southampton's visit day includes an informal interview. Bristol has a group tutorial session, as they feel that it's more suitable for such a course than an interview. And then you have Bath who gave me an offer within a week without me having to do any of this. And Kings College who haven't said anything yet.

okay so I know you guys are all really good at social interaction so you're the perfect people to ask for this. i've been invited to several visit days to the universities i've applied for and they've all got some sort of group tutorial/informal interview thing that i'll have to do. problem is, i can't actually give a straight reason why i want to do my subject i just really want to do it. have any of you guys had any similar experiences and do you have any wisdom to share?

I'm buying it.
Should be fun to play when my bros come over.
But my Xbox use will be 90% Halo and 5% COD / 5% NBA
Check out Mr Dudebro gamer over here.
I only play the finest games.
