Well, to drive at 16, it needs to be with a 21 year old or older, and you can't drive by yourself

The 17 year old license (which I got) lets you drive by yourself, or with one other person.

At 18, you can drive whoever and whenever you want.

I didn't know that, thanks for clearing that up

But still, what's the point to be allowed to drive at 16 when you need to be accompanied by someone 21 years old? Then that person who is accompaning you might aswell drive so there's no point in letting the 16 year old drive, is there?

You also say that with the 17 year old license you can drive by yourself, then what's the difference with the 18 year old license?

@logical: Letting a 15 year old drive is even more irresponsible ,with a companion or not.

Yeah, that brings up another thing! My dad lets my little 10 year old sister drive. We almost fell of a huge bridge twice into the Missisippi River, I'm surprised the police didn't pull her over so there could be lulz to be had.

No offense, but BULL! I don't think your dad would do that. Next time I see him, I'll ask

I think I'm going to play something...Not sure what, but I haven't touched a game in almost a month now.

[Tondog]

If you have a 360 or PS3 you NEED to download Bionic Commando Rearmed. It's one of the best ways to spend $10 if you like games.

[Ghost Soldier]

Played a few hours of Sega Rally Revo PS3 with my son.

Went on a board-gaming binge the last few days at GenCon.

Final Fantasy Tactics is a really really complex and hard game. Period.

What version are you playing?

[Shimra]

War of the Lions. I've beaten Fire Emblem without having any of my characters dying and unlocking everything which is supposed to be like super duper hard, but this is more weird than hard. The complexity of the battle system, the stat growth, jobs, etc. is overwhelming. I hear after chapter 1 the game isn't hard so we'll see. I'm enjoying it. Oh and I'm at the Dortier Slums or whatever it's called. From what I understand that's where people have some of the most trouble in the game even though it's like the 4th story battle.

Pokemon Yellow. 

[Sirgin]

Pokemon Yellow. 

That game was so much fun when I was 11. Everyone in school used to be playing that (or the other versions)

Only thing I thought was stupid was that your pikachu couldn't evolve which didn't make sense to me

Huh?!

I thought it could?! Don't you use the thunder stone?

[Sirgin]

Now you're making me wonder myself. I always thought that the pikachu you get from Prof. Oak refuses to evolve.

[Mr. Ksoft]

That's right, the starter Pikachu will refuse the stone (probably to match the TV show).  You'll need a Pikachu from elsewhere to evolve into a Raichu.

WTF?! That cunning bastard... Hmmmmm....!!! (Evil plot forming against pikachu...)

Ah, then I was thinking right! That's what I didn't like about Yellow in particular. I like it when you use your starter Pokemon until the end, but because he can't evolve, pikachu is quite weak. Also you can have all 3 starter pokemon of red and blue which kind of ruins it for me. (It's like: what's special about them if you have them all?)
