I don't take exception to cryptocurrencies themselves and all investment is a gamble to some degree, but the issue I have with those who invest in cryptocurrencies--and I suspect this isn't especially unpopular--is that they won't shut the **** up about investing in cryptocurrencies.
I think crypto has a future as a legitimate currency and they're getting in on it early. It's still entirely too volatile (as evidenced by recent activity) and subject to memedom right now for me to consider even playing with it.
I think it was the character as a whole and the escort mission feel that was irritating, not just the voice. The rich, snobby, daughter of a powerful person who is almost completely helpless who had to be defended was a bit stressful first time playing the game. I do, however, prefer her with the unlockable suit of armor.
That didn't even bother me either, especially since I didn't really find her snobby. She said nothing in that game that came off as snobby to me.
Suppose you're right, my memory of the game is faded since it's been years since I played it. But I do recall my perception of her to be snobby even if she didn't say anything to make her that way but that was my interpretation. Though, I could swear there was a cut-scene when you first meet her where she comes off as ungrateful. Again, faded memory.
Ah, that could explain it. I still play this game often (I even recently bought it again for PS4 right before getting RE8). With that said, she did thrown wood at Leon upon meeting her, but I think that was more of her being scared thinking he was another member of that cult coming to attack her or something.Suppose you're right, my memory of the game is faded since it's been years since I played it.

Disagree, cats are very cool, it's just that they have only ONE human owner that "love" and respect, and they don't trust much other people, although there are exceptions, some cats are friendly in general, but it's not usual.
I saw it maybe ten years ago, watched a couple of episodes and thought it was quite funny. That’s it though. I didn’t bother to watch any more than that. It’s mediocre TV at best, and that being generous.
I love it. It's one of my favorite comedies of all time. Thanks to Hulu I'll still watch several episodes in a row at least once a week or so. I also think Charlie Day is very funny in anything he's been in.
Did you watch the UK/original version of The Office?
I've started it and like it, but haven't sat down to really watch it. Looking to give it a full go at some point.
That's not an unpopular opinion. 😝
I rate the UK Office, and think it’s really well-done, but even as a Brit I think that the US version is superior. Well, it is after it stops trying to be the UK one. The first series of the US Office is a hard watch for that reason. Dwight’s character growth from a poor version of Gareth to the show’s greatest character is amazing.
Same here. I enjoy the earlier seasons of the Office, but the characters started to turn into unrealistic caricatures after a while in my opinion. James Spader's character really creeped me out.
I loved the British version of The Office as well. It's been quite a long time since I've seen any episodes though. Extras was brilliant in my opinion. Ricky and Stephen Merchant were hysterical. I'm a big fan of Gervais in general. His newer series "Afterlife" on Netflix is very good also. It does have a lot of humor but it's also quite dark a lot of the time. Go to Youtube and see the blooper reel from season 2, very funny.
I think the same logic applies to James Corden playing Smithy in Gavin and Stacey. Annoying person, hilarious show.
You mean US versions of UK shows? It's normal to redo something for its own market. Popular US shows such as Sanford and Son, All In The Family and The Office all started as remakes of UK shows.
I struggle to understand your question I bolded. To try and answer it though, we are not insulted at all by not understanding humor in other parts of the world/other cultures.
When it comes to UK vs. US shows I just think that sometimes humor doesn't crossover very well. I watched the UK version of The Office and thought it was OK, but I don't think that would've been all that well-received here. Plus, people tend to relate more to shows that take place in their own country. While I know where Slough and Swindon are, I have to imagine I'm in the minority of Americans who do. Just like I can't imagine many Brits know where Scranton or Stamford are. Also, while I know where Slough and Swindon are, I couldn't tell you what the cities are like outside of what the train station was like in Slough.
I think that's kind of the point of the locations, in both the UK and US versions. They're average and at best nondescript. You may have heard of those towns but most people, even those that live in the same country, would probably not be able to pin point them on a map. Average people working in average companies in average towns.
