General conversation thread: Chat about anything that's not WipEout.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

No, you won't do, and it's a bit like those, yeah. But better! :g
Huh? Which question was that the answer to?Reference to :If this is the answer, what is the question?

Mr White Supremacist David Duke is planning on Presidency.I'd rather not talk about him.
And to set facts straight,US=/=Ally of North Korea

[Dark_Phantom_89]

That is an extraordinary gaffe. I'd be very worried handing the presidency over to her based on that remark. :blarg

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

So who else is fighting for presidency? Other than Sarah Palin.
Anyone want to discuss the recent shelling of South Korea or is this already part of the discussion?
And I still haven't got my answer to my Quick Question. On another Forum(Non-WipEout Related.Digimon Related)I can post my fan fiction. I plan on posting that exact same fan fiction(after some refinements)

[mdhay]

It was an answer to both; you won't get banned and MTW is better.

Politics is a waste of time, it seems that someone who wasn't one would do better.

[Nutcase:259]

F.E.I.S.A.R. i guess if its in context and makes sense then i guess its allowed.


Thats probably what brought about the Sarah Palin North Korea Gaffe.
there shelling the border because the US are doing training exercises with the south isnt that it? also maybe because the north supposedly is gearing up to change leaders so its sort of like a show of force

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Thing is,it's a mix of the video game series members here ALL like,Digimon,and quite a lot of other stuff that would just make everything nonsense,like characters having the ability to transform and other whatnot.And in the Fan Fiction,I'm almost equating them(KKK) to terrorists.Wait...they are...And I'm bundling them with that most common group whose lead OBL(osama bin haydn,it is not you)is status unknown.Why group them together? Their supremacists:turd
And MTW is very hillarious!:nod But why are they segmented?I keep seeing clips of a few minutes every time.

[mdhay]

Because the BBC doesn't want a full program on YT. :g

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

So questions like Things you don't want to hear from your flatmate and Unlikely things to read on a packet may come one after another in an episode?
Politics+Racing Game=:twisted
Maybe I should write bullcrap bashing some people(don't worry,the "some people" will never come here because of their narrow-mindedness):twisted

[mdhay]

Yeah, pretty much. You can tell by what they're wearing.

You could write pretty much anything, JK Rowling does. :P

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I wonder what Rob's stance on text-based games on the forum are. On the other forum I'm on,there are games like "Crack Pairings","Write a Letter to Your Favourite Character","Meetings between Characters",and "What would you say?"
I suppose Rob will just disregard this post:|

[mdhay]

Threads like that usually end up getting locked.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Now that seemingly all topics have been asked,I find it very hard to start a new topic other than in the Off-Topic Discussion section.Should have been more active earlier on.

[SaturnReturn]

If you have questions for site moderators or admin, then it's best to ask directly, rather than just posting them in threads that we might take a while to get around to, and then feeling disappointed that no-one's answered.

[Challenger #001]

With the greatest possible respect FEISAR, what's wrong with trying to write good, logical fan-made stories in the WipEout universe set around the time when wars have been postponed (hence Triakis, a weapons giant has to enter AG leagues to make any money) and equal rights remain supreme allowing female pilots to be equal to male pilots and all creeds and countries are perfectly eligible?

Why do you want to write something that will be controversial, you don't like yourself and will probably read very badly with little influence on actual WipEout events? If you want my advice, just start with writing about WipEout to begin with. Allow people to critique you until you've got a good head about you for writing and then start with the bigger stuff.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

It originally started with WipEout Pulse,then got blown into preposterous proportions. And maybe saboteurs are too much to deal with.The Imagine a new teams thread was a partial RP thread.It had saboteurs...
Anyways,I now have my morale smashed because of my CCA.I missed a church wedding(not that I am a Christian nor Catholic)and it had a very good lunch.Why do I feel that life is about sacrifices?

[MetaKraken]

Well, I do agree with FEISAR's post (the first one, not the second one). I started my own Wipeout team thread and it turned out to be... horrid, as Challenge mentioned that. I could delete it (even though me and FEISAR became local moderators), but I'm unable to do so, so I'll have to be more creative, seeing as how my named team was... an embarrasment :redface:.

I'll probably redo my team profile, but seeing as how I'm somewhat uncreative in creating Wipeout fanon teams, I'll probably need some help on that, so this way I can restart my team profile and, hopefully, get a positive or average critique.

[SaturnReturn]

Thread title:

Hint hint.

[MetaKraken]

D'oh! Should I edit my previous post? Sorry if we forgot that rule...

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Here's smething that is NOT that:
Anyone here taken before the General Cambridge Exam "O" Levels? Because preparation for it started in a sense just after I received my report book.

[BulletWraith]

had a great day today, hung out with my friends from acrobatics and watched Harry Potter 7 with them then went to Dr Sketchy's life drawing, this months theme was Grindhouse films, mmm fun times

zer0shen

[SaturnReturn]

@FEISAR - According to the Cambridge site, they are equivalent to GCSEs, which replaced O-Level in the UK some time ago. Supposedly GSCE is easier than O-Level. I hate it when people go on about exams being easier these days. To be honest, I think it's probably true, and in general I think the UK education system is a massive fail...like, at least THIS BIG. But it's really a bit insulting for people who worked hard at school to be told they're basically not as clever as the generation above. Anyway, that aside, pretty much anyone in the UK will have done something of a similar level to what you are doing, from the looks of it.

@MetaKraken - You don't have to delete what you wrote, just try to keep things in the best thread and whatnot.

[MetaKraken]

Okay. I will (even though sometimes I make mistakes).

[SaturnReturn]

Mistakes are perfectly acceptable. So is people alerting other as to their mistakes. Although sometimes it goes too far. It's all about balance (and moderation - fnar!).

[MetaKraken]

Hehe yeah. Anywyas, back on topic:

I just got another text message from the same caller, though it reads "Unsupported Message", so I waited for my class to finish before heading off and call someone who wrote a nice poem of me. Much to my dismay that my heart was on a verge of skipping a beat, she answered and I commented on what she wrote a poem about me, she laughed, but in a positive way, but since this was my first time, I got somewhat shy before I could even ask her name and hung up. IDK if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but sadly for me, I'll have to wait yet another six more days for her to send me yet another text message (unless me chance of getting a possible crush is all but inevitable).

I just hope I could get to talk to her more and then probably end up in a relationship when I meet her in person.... I hope :redface:.

[SaturnReturn]

Wait a second - what's this again? Is this a secret admirer person or do you know who it actually is? It sounds like something out of a movie.

[MetaKraken]

Yeah, but I don't know who she is, to be honest, so I had to find out who was it.

[BulletWraith]

did you text back to say sorry for the hangup?

I had another great day, went and got my mates simcard(she lost her phone_ off some dude who found it in a park and was nice enough to save it for me
caught up with my parents who are just back from Mexico
and went to a great talk on Romi Kapa Lele Hawaiian Bodywork :) :rock

life=awesomeness

[MetaKraken]

@ze0: I didn't, she simply hung up on me, so I wasn't sure if that was good or bad, but the next day I got another text message from the same caller before.

[mdhay]

What did that say?

[MetaKraken]

To tell you the truth, it's written in Spanish, so I'm not sure if you and the others would udnerstand what it says :P.

[mdhay]

Google Translate. :g

[MetaKraken]

Lawl, I use it, though I can rougly translate to what my text message says to English if ya like :P.

[mdhay]

Up to you dude. :D

[MetaKraken]

Let's see...

This is my recently received text message translated to English:

(I'mma skip the first paragraph, seeing as how it's difficult to translate it)

"Wake up wake up because this patrol is this as you like... Wake up wake up that we went until dawn !!!"

[mdhay]

Erm... sounds..... exhilerating for you. ;P

[MetaKraken]

Haha yeah xD.

Anybody get spam emails like this?

(PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL)
Dear Friend,


This message might meet you in utmost surprise;I apologize for sending you this sensitive information via e-mail instead of a Certified mail/Post-mail. However,Its just my urgent need for a foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction,This deal is based on Trust.

I am Mr Ali Bokhari Personal Assistant to the Branch Manager of Bank Of Africa(B.O.A) Ouagadougou Burkina Faso.I want to inquire from you if you can handle this transaction for mutual benefits/life opportunity for you and me.The transaction is about seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin/ beneficiary of the US$10.5 MILLION DOLLAR,(TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS),he was a customer to the bank where I work. He was involved in 11th SEPT 2001 plane crash attack in (AMERICA), with his entire family during their vacation journey.

The Fund is currently in a suspense account awaiting claim, the bank made a public notice that they are ready to release this fund to any of his relatives abroad.THEREFORE,by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL, top secret should be maintained please!,because I am still in the active service I do not need any form of implication especially now I'm in the verge of my retirement to endanger my career at last!.

Since we got the information about his death,we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws.In that regard, I decided to seek your consent for this prospective opportunity.

Have it at the back of your mind,that the transaction does not involve any RISK, and does not need much engagement from you,since I am familiar with this kind of transaction being an insider in this bank.Necessary modalities will be worked out to enable us carry out the fund claim under a legitimate arrangement.

I have resolved to offer you 40% of the total fund,10% for sundry expenses that may be incurred during the process of executing this transaction and 50% percent for me.I will give you more details about the transaction when I receive your affirmative response,more clarification information.Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interested.here is my private email please contact me for more details(***************)

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I've received a number of spam messages that have someone dying by accident like an air crash or car accident.Like this one.And I'm betraying the trust which is nonexistent.:twisted:With Due Respect

Dear Friend,

Pls i want you to read this letter very carefully and i must apologize for barging this message into your mail box without any formal introduction due to the urgency and confidential of this issue and i know that this message will come to you as a surprise, Pls this is not a joke and i will not like you to joke with it.

I am Mr.Ibrahim AliA Manager in Bank of Africa (BOA) Ouagadougou , Burkina Faso. I Hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that i am about to establish with you for the mutual benefit of me and you.

I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of ($15)millions usd into your account within 7working banking days. This money has been dormant for years in our Bank without claim due to the owner of this fund died along with his entire family and supposed next of kin in an air crash since July 31st 2000. Pls go through the website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm)

I want our bank to release this funds to you as the nearest person to our deceased customer while i come over to your country to share this fund with you as soon as you confirm this fund into your account and ask me to come over.

I don't want the money to go into our Bank treasure as an abandoned fund. So this is the reason why i contacted you so that our bank will release this money to you as the next of kin to the deceased customer. Please I would like you to keep this proposal as a top secret and delete it if you are not interesting.

Upon the receipt of your reply and indication of your capability, i will give you full details on how the business will be executed and also note that you will have 45% of the above mentioned sum if you agree to handle this business with me while 50% will be for me and 5% for any expenses that may arise on the process, Because i don't want anyone here in our bank to know my involvement until you confirm this fund into your account and ask me to come over for the sharing as i indicated.

It is an abandoned sum that belongs to one of our bank's foreign customers who died on a plane crash long ago, where this money can be shared between us in the ratio of 55/45 in event of our success.

You have the absolute authority to claim the fund hence you are a foreigner as soon as you reply,step to follow in order to finalize this transaction immediately would be declared to you.(reply to : jreshma@mynet.com).

I'm highly emotional

and what about a Girl/boy awesomeness thread where people can talk about great relationships and happenings
like after meditation yesterday I had this wonderful dreamy...

meh I'm starting an awesome thread :rock

BW

[SaturnReturn]

There are some threads about good stuff. I think one is about little things that make us happy and stuff. Plus there's positivity in creativity here, and stuff like the competitions people organise. I guess the whole world is a bit emo at the mo though so it's no surprise to have a few threads that show that, and it's good for folk to be able to vent negativity. But by all means start a 'thread of awesome' if there's not one already. Good to have a balance, which leads me to my next topic...

I keep losing my balance. I swear I've suddenly become the clumsiest person in the world. I haven't actually fallen over but I keep almost falling over my bag at work and also other things like splashing boiling water on my hand when I make tea, dropping stuff, can't type for toffee, crap like that. I generally do stuff at roughly the same rate as a sloth, so this really shouldn't be happening to me.:bomb

I can't buy the stuff over here anymore, but it was giant blocks of Willy Wonkas Chocolate Mud Sludge, mix of milk chocolate, some dark mud looking stuff and caramel I think
and yeh, I plummeted straight to zero, so much sugar

I got a sort of similar feeling from a tub of Almond butter and a big block of 82%
it may sound good at the start but using Dark chocolate as a substitute for toast isn't always a bright idea :nod

Hahahah, as much as I love chocolate, I don't think that could ever sound like a good idea - not even at the very very start.

Just watching an episode of Peep Show where one of the characters names a 9" dildo 'Kenneth'. Charming!!!!!

[SaturnReturn]

I saw that, and thought of you. Nah, I didn't really. Must have been funny for you, especially at the end with the way they were talking about not needing Kenneth. Did it make you feel unwanted?

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Topic change that would be a failure:P
Ever wondered what your name would be if you used your real name and were a character in an anime?

[KGB]

Did it make you feel unwanted?

I'd rather be unwanted than 'used' in this respect.....but then again :P

Anyway, I'm not not a 9" dildo, I'm a 5' 10" **** :+ ;)

[IndoorSnowStorm]

I'm with Oryx on this one.

youtube it peep show XD

Excuse my language but that show is f***ing hilarious! I just watched Season 4 Episode 1, and there was never a dull moment. I can't wait to watch some others!

There's not much in this world which lives up to the things we're told about it in television adverts, but if there's one thing that does, it's crunchy nut cornflakes. OMG they're so moreish, and tasty, and moreish, and tasty, and still not even the slightest bit filling after two bowls, and moreish, and tasty, and so on and so forth. I swear to god it's impossible to feel full on crunchy nut cornflakes. There must be something addictive in them too. I feel like the freakin' cookie monster of cereals right now. OM NOM NOM NOM!

I knew I should have gone with the toasted sandwich.

[yeldar2097]

Yeah, as if you'd ever choose anything other than cereal...:rolleyes:

Just felt like recording some Amnesia to share with others. Contains some early game puzzle spoilers (but they're dead easy and obvious anyway)... this is mostly for those who are intrigued by the game but too scared to play it. :D

If it's too long to bother watching it all... 10:00+ to 14:00 is the good stuff. :P

Main reason I'm replaying the game is to check out the developer commentary. More games need developer commentary!

heh, I work part time in staples :D

[MetaKraken]

Lucky. I don't have jobs yet, though that's because I'm still at college AND hoping that I would take computer art class after that.

[mdhay]

Neither do I, primarily because I cannot get enough college work done in the time I have, which college work takes up much of, so I wouldn't be doing myself any favours.

[Woopzilla]

Hmm... I don't think there's a 'non wipeout video' thread?

Trackmania Nations Forever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKh9Yt7w4vM) (The video might still be processing for a few minutes)

Well anyway, I think we should all get together and play this wonderful free game at some point (downloadable for free on Steam). It's really fun. :P

The above video is of a 'press forward' track. All you do is press accelerate and enjoy the ride... you can find some cool custom tracks made by users. I wonder if something similar would be possible on wipeout if there was a track editor. ^^

[Nutcase:259]

free game? i like free. downloading it off the trackmania website now:hyper

there are 2 versions? trackmania nations forever and trackmania united forever? is one an expansion or something?

[mdhay]

Please tell me you can use something other than F1-style cars on this.. :hyper

[yeldar2097]

I think I saw the new Batmobile in one vid :dizzy

[DreamyElf]

I used to play Trackmania a lot before i got a ps3 and Wipeout.
Haven't touched the game for ages, i totally recommend it to everyone, fantastic and very fun game! :)

[P_Denton]

@nut : well Nations only contains one environment, Stadium, and TMUF has stadium + 6 environments in previous Trackmania games. And each environments has a specific kind of car (which greatly change the handling) and specific sets of blocks. So yeah, you could call it an extension (I think you can even use a TMNF account in TMUF). Even though Stadium is the most polished environment, I think TMUF is worth its 30€^^
And there's plenty of downloadable content for it, so changing car skins/models isn't really a problem.

Damn, you've given me the urge to get back to it... I have to resist, that game was really addictive^^

[Woopzilla]

Yea, TMUF costs money... TMNF is a full free game though with plenty of content. :D

New video of another awesome 'press forward' track. Watch in 720p fullscreen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMz9qO7-T70 :g

(note my custom number plate with a "Wipeout HD" sticker ^^) The rest are just some anime chicks... I dub that car the 'ecchi mobile' (loosley translates as the 'lewd mobile'). :g

[OBH]

Ive been prescribed a high dosage of Tramadol for my tooth infection and oh my god, Im ****ed!!! Heads off in the clouds and far, far away. Not too dissimilar from being really, really drunk. Can't focus on anything!

[stin]

LOL!, that is exactly what happened to me two years ago!, I was suffering a headache, my wife gave me two high dosage of Tramadol tablets and guess what, I could not barely walk and act like a drunken man!!!!, but my wife had to help me go back to my bed cos I can`t go to work in that!!!

You know, I`d slept for nearly 30 hrs and not realising!:cold

This tablet is lethal stuff!! but she tooks them 8 a day!!:cold

[UB3R~JKP]

Just recieved 2 of my UNI applications back!

-Got an UNCONDITIONAL for Glasgow caledonian doing Information Systems development :D
-And a conditional requiring a B in Higher Maths for Vide Games Dev. :D

[Nutcase:259]

Cool UBER :D :+

you know which one your gonna choose?

also in Scotland do you have to go through the stupid UCAS system?

[UB3R~JKP]

Dunno yet mate...still waiting to hear back from 3 of my other applications so I'll wait and see :D


And yes we have to go through that foul thing :brickwall

[Woopzilla]

Nice one... at first I was going to say: "You're going all the way up to glasgow??", but then I checked your location. ;)

Anyhoo, I've made a proper gameplay video of Trackmania Online instead of those 'press forward' tracks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLs6gP1eQ6w

Remember that online play is a 5 minute time trial session per track. The reason you see people starting early and later than me is because you can 'reset' the lap with one button and start racing again in case you mess up your lap.

[OBH]

God bless the Bristol Dental Hospital.
Taken me over 6 months to try and get somone to sort my teeth out on the NHS, then someone recommended me to get to Bristol Dental Hospital/University for 8am and they'll fix it for me.

Check up + X-Ray + Operation all in one morning, and it was free!

My saviors :hyper

[Nutcase:259]

So my dad just absolutly ****ed the home pc over, cant access the control panel or basically anything and there's tonnes of fake anti virus software all over the desktop.

ive put it in safe mode and installed McAfee 2011 and running a full scan. but other than that i havnt a clue what to do. theres no major important documents on there that i want so could i just reset to factory setting or do the reboot or whatever its called? or kick it into touch? :lol

absolutely no way in hell he's even touching my wonderful brand new laptop now he's sodded up the old steam powered pc. :lol and its no help that he's about as technologically knowledgeable as the Amish *fumes* :lol

please help me, before this becomes a GBH case :lol

[Woopzilla]

As much as I'd like to trust Antivirus softwares... once you get a significant amount of crap on your computer, you should consider a format/reinstall of everything. ^^

[Nutcase:259]

thats what im think im gonna have to do. thing is, its pretty old and i cant remember how i do it, also the pc was originally xp but i put vista on it (using the CD from my brothers laptop lol. not sure if that was a good idea). im thinking wipe the whole thing and put xp back on it? im sure there must be a tutorial on the interwebz somewhere.

will system restore to a few days ago, then reformat and put XP on

[Chill]

For those of you zoners who experienced my last episode of (you know what) I'm sorry for hurting the feelings that had got hurt... It was not my place to speak of such a topic at such a time... Hope y'all can forgive me, if not... well, oh well I guess...

Anyhoo, I've made a proper gameplay video of Trackmania Online instead of those 'press forward' tracks.

Damn, that's some good driving! This makes me want to start playing TMN again. lol'd heartily at 1:38-1:42, how many attempts did that take? :)

[MetaKraken]

I remember TrackMania. I played TrackMania Forever, though the liveries only has few countries. Shame that this game hasn't received updates since then. :(

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Played TrackMania Nations before. Used a custom F9000 FEISAR Model and tried to do a Florion Height mockup :D

Do you mean the vehicle model, F.E.I.S.A.R?

[Mr Phlanj]

i went to my bros house last night. today i took my ps3 back home. got it all ready and thought "now wheres the HTMI cable".................................................. ................................DAMN IT!!!

[Nutcase:259]

made a second PSN account on the japanese PSN to see if i could find Wipeout 2097. the accounts called SUB_ACCOUNT! (just so everyones clear,:lol)

2097 its not there :(, but the amount of stuff on there Store compared to europe is insane. theres probably as many ps1 games on there as there are items to buy in the european psn!

also i found that you can change your PSN username on your profile in the settings menu as and when you wish??? why arnt these things available in europe? :(

[Mr Phlanj]

Run nutcase!!!! Run and hide now!!!!

[Nutcase:259]

loool im not gonna use it to race and mess up your leaderboards ;)
just wanted to see what they had there, snooping around :D


ill probably delete it anyway as 2097 not there, although i found a suduko game with crazy flashing lights, had no idea what i was downloading at the time :lol

[MetaKraken]

My car attempted to cease itself by permanently disabling the radio and the digital clock. On top of that, my FM transmitter also dismantled itself so I can't listen to my own songs. :|

[MegaGeeza22]

Has anyone tried that new demo in the ps store called stacking?
its sooo fun to play! it reminds me of being stoned lol, and if you have ps+ you get the whole game for free! i spent over an hour on the demo doing all the little missions and finding things... you should try it out just for fun!

[MetaKraken]

I don't have PS+, since I don't have enough money to buy that feature. :(

****sake. :bomb

[OBH]

My god I feel so sorry for those in Japan. No doubt our Japanese WZ friends have been effected too.

The coverage of the tsunami is some of the most incredible footage I've ever seen. 7.4 meters above normal sea level.

Nuclear emergency has been declared too as a number of reactors have shut down.

Madness.

[Nutcase:259]

all the mobile phone technology has produced some incredible footage.
i cant help but find earthquakes and tsunami incredibly interesting. i mean not in a morbid way, i mean like how and why it happens. the forces behind it and the seismology

its just a very good thing that japan is one of the most if not the most earthquake prepared country in the whole world
i think gas and electricity is automatically cut off in the event

[KGB]

Just been watching Sky News and it's saying the pressure is rising as the cooling system at a Nuclear power plant has stopped working, that doesn't sound good at all.

[OBH]

Its the nuclear power plant that scares me. People for a hundred miles have been evacuated.

The 23 foot wall of black water sweeping across the Japanese countryside with cars, boats, buildings and other debris inside it was just mind blowing to see.

They've reported 300 bodies have been found. I can't imagine it will stay that low.

5th largest earthquake ever recorded since 1900 apparently, 8000 times stronger than one in NZ last month, and it gave off the same amount of energy as the US uses in an entire month.
My mind can't even comprehend that statistic.

[Nutcase:259]

Thought id share thishttp://www.iris.edu/seismon/
the IRIS seismic monitor. it shows you every earthquake recorded in the world today, currently and in the past 5 years

http://www.iris.edu/seismon/bigmap/index.phtmlworld view big map
http://www.iris.edu/seismon/zoom/?view=eveday&lon=146&lat=37 North pacific

the nuclear reactor does sound bad. i hope all the people there and the japanese wipers are safe

[MetaKraken]

I hope my friends (on the PS3 and that they are also from Japan) are all right...

What is wrong with mother nature today...? :(

[reach-big7]

terrible...God...

[KGB]

Good to hear from you Reach-big. It's a terrible time for your country, my thoughts go out to you all.

[OBH]

Great to see your alright mate.

Over 10,000 people in one area alone are unaccounted for, and the Japanese authorities reported the situation with the reactor as "We don't know what will come of this", which doesn't sound very reassuring at all.

Hope the rest of the world does it's part to help your people.
A truly epic tragedy.

[mic-dk]

It is indeed good to hear from you reach-big.

It is an incredible and terrible sight when our planet shrugs her shoulders. My thoughts too goes out to you and your countrymen.

[Aeroracer]

what happening to our world nowadays.

whats happened in japan is so devasting and upsetting.
2 million people have no water, power stations exploding, all the deaths and shattered lives and familys.i really hope the whole world joins together to help them rebuild there lives



why are we suddenly having all these world scale disasters latley

japan and austrailia this year
pakistan last year
haiti earthquake
indonsia in 2004
its like worlds falling apart.

[reach-big7]

Thank you for your prayer and rescue effort, mates.
I'm crying against my will.

[Oryx Crake]

hang in there reach! at the risk of sounding cheesy and unoriginal, though hopefully that doesn't detract from the statement, my thoughts are with you guys

[MetaKraken]

I'm glad my friends on the PS3 (in Japan, unless you already know) are all right, since I can see them going online, though I'm hoping everyone else is okay too.

[mdhay]

I was devastated when this happened, Sorry to hear it, I hope the Reactor doesn't go any worse. The world doesn't need another Chernobyl. :(

[Medusa]

I was watching a bunch of the tsunami videos that were posted on BBC at first, and then it really sunk in what I was watching...**** Absolutely heartbreaking.

I can't believe what is posted as the news, it was bad enough to watch Miyagi Prefecture being completely wiped off the map, but then they post a video with sound, you could hear people screaming for God's sake. Why is this sort of thing not edited out. For decency's sake they could at least dub over it. The one video of Minnamisouma, they showed people trying to run away from the water/debris while some on a hilltop are screaming "Hayaku! Hayaku!" (Quickly/hurry) to them. What do these victim's families think, if they are left. Their loved ones are being shown getting killed as news. Over and over again.
What the hell was I doing watching it?

Boxing Day 2004 all over again, but this time in Japan where there is video cameras everywhere, not like Indonesia...

[Aeroracer]

problem i noticed with some these news channels is they way they cash in on human disasters..the worse it is the more they rub there hands together....they make it as dramatic as ever to boost veiwing figures which is all they really care about..sad world that we live in

[Medusa]

Yes nearly every online site is profiting from this also, just look at what pops up on YouTube's main screens, they are making money from ads each time someone watches disaster videos, same with Yahoo, etc on and on...
At least with the legitimate news broadcasters they have the excuse they "need to inform." Yet at the same time they don't draw any limit anymore of what they show as video or photos. If it's news, anything goes. Sick.

[MegaGeeza22]

The times are wrong, it may confuse people who dont live in the uk.

[Nutcase:259]

The times are wrong,

as in the newspaper?

does anyone read a news paper for news? it should simply be called 'paper' or maybe 'paper with some words on it'

[MegaGeeza22]

lol, no the time at the foot of the page... it says GMT+1 when its GMT+0.
its confusing me anyway lol...

[mdhay]

But still, you can#t believe them either. :g

So tomorrow, there's multiple protests going on, it's annoying how I can't do anything. :/

[Nutcase:259]

just had a Christmas dinner.... in April lololol

Christmas crackers, party hats and all :lol

feels a bit wierd TBH :g :xtree:dizzy

[MetaKraken]

Today I was recently down in the dumps because of my friends (in the read world) I was thinking. It literally hurts me that after my graduations, me and my friends went separate ways. I miss them. :(

[SaturnReturn]

Ah yes, having real life friends. I remember those days....they were crap.:g

Seriously though MK, if you do really get on with and value your friends then make sure to put in the effort to keep in touch with them. Too few people bother these days.

[MetaKraken]

I know, that's why I'm looking for my friends. Thanks, Saturn. ^^

[MegaGeeza22]

[Nutcase:259]

So it looks like some people are hacking(or whatever) the PSN to shut it down.

Dont really understand (or care) why but atleast it stopped me from downloading the stupid SOCOM beta and its annoying 'cant quit the download' system it uses like the MAG beta :blarg

as far as im concerned i bought my ps3 to play games, not so i could mod it to work like a toaster or PC ;)

You need to broaden your horizons.
There area few other forums that should be on your Favorite/bookmark list since you are based in NZ.

The official AUS/NZ PlayStation forum for one, since you don't have a PS3 you can talk hard core with fellow PSP owners .
http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Australia-New-Zealand-Forums/ct-p/cANZ

[MetaKraken]

@MyNameIsBom: I'm pretty sure you're not addicted to the forums, heck I come here everyday now and then (although I mysteriously left the forums a year ago), so don't feel bad. :)

[KGB]

I was "uncool" because I don't take drugs, smoke and drink...

Are you telling me all your 14 year old school friends are doing this! Really?

If your that miserable I would ask one if they can fix you up with some of these drugs, then you will really find that happy place ;).

[greenymac]

Metakraken, don't feel bad about it brother. After graduating from high school and then college me and all my friends have gone our separate ways geographically. But we are still somewhat in-touch thru phone, facebook, and other means. Heck, just last week I got in touch with a friend I havent seen since college that I used to jam with. ( I played drums and he played trombone.) He's now the musical director of somecruise line that I believe to be based out of England as he said he's only in the states around sept. or oct. Just remember when your friends cross your mind, thats your subliminal cue to give them a jingle or an e-mail or maybe even find some on social networking sites.

[OBH]

Oh god don't tease the poor boy! As funny as that was! :g

Is anyone watching the royal wedding?
I will be watching it... i know alot of people hate the royal family but he is the future King of England and its territories. It will be a historical event and will be remembered for hundreds of years...
I will be proud to witness this event :D

[Nutcase:259]

You kind of have to watch it. its all thats on :lol
i probably will but if i hear BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchel gushing over the queen in his typically disgusting sickly sweet style any more this week i might crap out my brain and die :P

I hope were getting loads of money out of all the tourists :P

On a positve note i suppose its some nice news amongst all the bad

[mdhay]

I want her to say "I don't"; purely for shits and giggles. :D

But I'm not going to watch it, better stuff to do. :P

[MegaGeeza22]

LOL, Nicholas Witchel... i cant stand that faggot, i may watch it elsewhere if hes fronting it for the bbc.
Iv made sure im free to watch it, il unplug the phone and put my mobile phone on silent. i have a crate of beers, pizza and plenty of crisps lol.
If anything bad happens on the day i will be going straight to my army recruitment office.
I love my country, fk the haters...

[UB3R~JKP]

Nah, Why would I watch that bull? I'll be using my day wisely listening to some great music and playing football in my Ireland shirt. Splendid

I been testing my brand new EZ-Cap before recording videos of my gameplay. So far, the device can capture great quality visuals, but it can't capture any sound from the games at all. What is the problem?

Lastly, is recording PS3 (seperately connected by HDMI) gameplay the same as recording from consoles connected by the red/white/yellow inputs and if not, what is needed to record under that condition?

Soon you will be able to grow pork in your back garden, between the tomato plants and the gooseberry bush lol...
I know its an old story but its sick, i can understand about growing fake fruit and vegetables because these are things that we need to live... but growing pork or any meat is just sick.
This meat must be so unhealthy, yes it will save millions of animals but it will also make even more people jobless and it would be bad for you...
They should concentrate on healthy foods, making the unsustainable sustainable
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article6936352.ece

[SaturnReturn]

Not really sure I see the issue. It reminds me of this Dilbert cartoon where he makes a hybrid of meat and tomato - Tomeato.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J01U8H4CMtc

[MegaGeeza22]

The issue for me is its just a muscle cell pumped full of animal hormones to increase its growth.. and in years to come sausages will just be grown meat "Fresh... straight from the petri dish".
In europe its illegal to give cows hormones to increase thier milk supply because its very bad for children and adults... but its legal in america.
Growth hormones are a very bad thing and to put it in our food chain is ridiculous. These days if it saves money its a good thing... it doesnt matter if its bad for your health.
I wont be eating 'petri meats' im not keen on pig hormones lol

[SaturnReturn]

I think even grown meat would be a step up from whatever sausages are at the moment.

I guess from the hormone POV it's not great. That issue didn't really come across very prominently in the article to me. Who knows how it will be advanced in the future though. It could eventually be a good thing, or it could suck. I'm unconvinced it's definitely one or the other at this stage.

[MegaGeeza22]

lol, i agree! i think its illegal to call a sausage a sausage if it has less than 10% pork in it so they call them bangers... beware of the value bangers lol.
Here is a short article i found on growth hormones... like i say growth hormones in foods are illegal in europe at the moment but things can soon change.

I went into town this morning (worcester) at about 5.30am and i saw from a distance a dead seagull on the floor, it had another seagull pecking away at it which i thought was gross.
Anyway as i got closer the seagull flew away and when i looked down at the dead seagull it was headless!!! i was so shocked lol because the cut was so clean and there was no blood on the floor...
It gave me the creeps

Worcester is so bad! its deafening in the town center between 4 and 5am, it is quite un-nerving when theres 100 seagulls all looking down on you from rooftops as they make so much noise, they are everywhere! especially the morning after a friday night... seagulls eating up all the regurgatated chinese food and the chips that have been strewn all over the streets by drunk teens lol... theres also massive fights between them which can be entertaining but also very dangerous. they are pests.

i got banned from the forum with my 1st post. i made a thread called "whats in scots room"(in the comic u never see whats inside but its got a huge metal door) and the 1st reply was from the creator of the comic saying "ive had it with people asking about brian(a rare character in the comic) and im not having some new member start up the same **** with scot". so the thread was locked and i was banned......

...what a dick.

so now after about 4 years since i was booted from the forum i will finaly see whats behind the door and it damn well better be good :D

I Loooove salted peanuts... but recently everytime i eat them my lips start to sting and swell up? does anyone else get this?
I looked online and all it says is that swelling of the lips when eating peanuts is an allergic reaction... but i love them and have eaten them all my life!! but now i get swollen lips everytime i have a couple, one of my favourite snacks has turned against me lol.
Very, very annoying...

Maybe our bodys reject things if we indulge in them to often...


@MegaGeeza22: It happens when I eat an Orange. Very annoying indeed.
When I eat Mangos, I get incredible stomach pain...fresh fruits are too healthy for me.
Switched to coffee and cigarettes, way better now!
I agree! pineapple's make my gums bleed lol... but they taste so good i cant resist!
Coffee and cigarettes? thats sounds like the traditional english breakfast! a mug of tea and 2 fags lol...

Well, (pure) Oxygen can kill you, so why not?

[Medusa]

Yeah, I hate it when I go all allergic to oxygen. :p

:lol @ the switch to coffee and cigarettes. So much healthier, Flint.

[mdhay]

Yeah, feels like I can't breathe. :P

TAFAPFAFF to you, sir.

[Nutcase:259]

Yeah! potentially useful post time!

Mega geezer, do you also have hayfever? sometimes with high pollen it being 'summer' in england you can have allergies to fruits and veg and nuts depending on the kind of pollen your allergic too. (if you even are? i am, i get an itchy throat when i eat raw cucumber, well thats my excuse for avoiding it anyway :P)

Failing that maybe there's some sort of additive in the peanuts that might be in a certain brand that irritates, so maybe and try another peanut brand, KP, Nobby's nuts (lol), tesco value, ;)

err also does this only happen when you eat plain salted peanuts or with lovely roasted peanuts as well (or even more awesome honey roasted peanuts!)

well thats about all i can think of :lol

Oh and with the headaches thing i dunno if its similar but i used to eat haribo when i was younger and now when i eat it all i can taste is plastic and it gives me headaches.

[MegaGeeza22]

@ Nutcase, i dont suffer from hayfever but i will use your advice and try some different peanuts because im not sure if its just the salted ones that give me fat lips, but i will experiment!
Did you eat a lot of haribo? i do think that if you eat or drink something to excess your body rejects it because your body doesn't need it and it does more harm then good.
i think lol...
I used to drink 2 bottles of sprite a day at work and after a year or 2 it started to taste like rotten eggs... rank.

Ok, so its GCSE results day tomorrow and I'm shitting bricks. :P

On the plus side, I'm off to America for a week tomorrow too. Be back. :P

Seems the 'What games have you played recently' thread has 404'd so I'll just throw this in:

Spiral Knights is a free game now available on Steam. It's basically what would happen if the Legend of Zelda, World of Warcraft and Magicka got into bed and had a baby game. It's also probably one of the best games to encourage co-operations since Portal 2. If anyone feels like giving it a go, I'd be more than willing to go on a few dungeon exploration runs into The Clockworks with you. ^^

Quite surprised I remembered my login for this place. Been digging out my old Wipeout games lately so I thought I'd visit again. Hello there.

[UB3R~JKP]

[Flint Fandango]

Nice woman, that could be an interesting experience. Don´t forget to pick up a ladder. ;)

[FirstDave]

for some reason sausages and tunnels spring to mind :eek

[MegaGeeza22]

There is a new game in the playstation store called SkyDrift, its a great game! its comparable to Wipeout... sort of.
There is also a demo in the store, i advise you all to have a go! i think you will enjoy it!

[MetaKraken]

Well guys, today's the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I pray for the people involved and died prior to the 9/11 attacks in '01. :(

[Asayyeah]

I second this :+

God bless America.

Just had two Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door. It's the second time in a couple of weeks and I'm getting quite into it now, the conversations we've been having always start very formal, with a "let's agree to disagree" tone to them. But they won't agree and start coming out with ever increasingy bizarre statements.

Today's little pearl: the first humans were born approximately 6,030 years ago. Genius, I'm telling you. "Carbon dating? F**k off, we've added up the ages of all the people in a book!"

Can't wait for the next lot, they're awesome.
