Yeah I'm curious as to who did the number crunching and decided it would make for good business to open up shop. I always assumed people brought what they needed with them, not that you could pop into a Dick's Sporting Goods down there to pick up a spare jacket or tent if you left yours at home.

I knew of the ATM in Antartica but I did not know that the ATM in Ein Bokek (Which I have been to) was the lowest. If I would have known at the time. I would've withdrew some cash :D Maybe the ATM operator needs to put a sign up of this fact, they would collect so much more ATM operator fees if tourists would realise this fact.

People think when you become a scientist you eat for free? *facepalm*.

No, I assumed that when stationed - cash would not be paid for what I also assumed would be mostly caffeteria meals, which would be part of your package.

Stop assuming you know what people are thinking *facepalm*

Feels like some side-quest in an RPG :p

The end of the world is coming at the most desolate place on the world, you're the single soul that braves to go there and fix it, and guess what - a random guy pops up and still wants to trade :D

Take out the end of the world (unless that's something we don't know about Antarctica yet) and it's really like that :D

Great, now next time I'm desperately searching an ATM I won't help but think of these forsaken but comparatively enabling places! :angry:

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Yeah, kind of odd. I would understand it more if it was an exclusive, but to launch on both consoles and not PC seems like an odd choice.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
