I've never really played any games. Never seen the attraction.
Have you never played Sim City?
You can just break out the bulldozer and slap a stadium down. None of this pesky private tenants with rights or commercial viability nonsense.

So you’ve never got a quad feed on Rust?

Weirdly enough we were on the top floor in there when there was a fire and my Mrs who was 36 weeks pregnant at the time had to evacuate using the stairs. Great laugh.
Haha yeah! Who would want to spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing over a game with no real world impact!?
you sit on your own in your Y fronts eating Doritos and wanking.
that sounds fucking horrendous, fortunately my missus was never in that position because she'd have had to deal with an hysterical husband on top of everything else.
I think if the hours before and after the non world impacting game involve a day out on the bevvy with your mates it's slightly more appealing than one where you sit on your own in your Y fronts eating Doritos and wanking.
Surely (but of course not) something should have been agreed prior to it being built. Minimum time spent being used as an Ikea and plans for what it’s going to be if and when they close it down. It’s such a mental bespoke building.
Fuckin' sorted! Good job! That's OBVIOUSLY why they've sold the Flying SubstandardGIANT WETHERSPOONS.
Solved it lads. Don’t even change it either. Just cross out Ikea and put a Wetherspoons sign next to it.
Imagine being the poor sod at kicking out time, trying to explain to the pissheads on level 5 how they have to go up a level before they can get down to 4!GIANT WETHERSPOONS.

When they proposed/built it I posted on another forum it was a stupid place to put it. Of all the out-of-town retail/business/science parks we have on old factories etc one of the retailers that REALLY suited those locations ended up in the city centre where the road infrastructure couldn't cope with the numbers. That they say they're making losses when on weekends the junction next to it is rammed and was backing up onto the carriageway shows how unsuitable this was - they couldn't have got more people in and I suspect a number of people ended up giving up on it due to the time spent sitting in the queue for the car park. Wonder if CBD business rates also were too high compared to other stores?
To add to that we've now also got that awful building with little to now active frontage, parking, blank walls, garish colourscheme and weird design as part of our cityscape (although I've no doubt someone will already be trying to put a protection order on it due to its 'uniqueness'.)
I'm very sorry to see it shut even though I didn't use it much it was good for the city. But if they put it somewhere like where Amazon etc have put their warehouse I think it'd have been successful.
August as well, it was about 25 degrees. And I was gasping for a pint. She caught up with me eventually though.

Games can be quite intriguing..
Here's a reading list if anyone's interested.

You seem to miss the point, IKEA didn't want an out of centre store. They wanted to try city centre retailing which after 13 years failed in the end. They never were interested in building on an out factory site
Be interesting how much they paid in business rates per annum compared to an out of town store like Wednesbury or Nottingham as well as these new student blocks popping up over the city!
I think that’s what they mean when they say it’s costing too much because it’s busy every time I go in there, they have gotta be making money, just trying to get cheaper rates I thinkBe interesting how much they paid in business rates per annum compared to an out of town store like Wednesbury or Nottingham as well as these new student blocks popping up over the city!
You mean the train loads of students who head off to London and Birmingham every weekend.Why mention student blocks? The disposable cash students bring to the city outweighs the lack of business rates or council tax.
Most of the nice things we have are there because of them.
