  1. I'm a fan of kicking ass, but when something goes wrong arse sounds so much more dignified than "ass!" As for the winchester quote it also ends with "and wait for this all to blow over" but I felt it was getting a bit long. Also you guys make it "barsetard?"
  2. http://frankie.graffagnino.net/2011/11/5-things-android-devices-should-be.html - on the nail post regarding android advertising n stuff.

      Hmm.... how about micro-USB? *rolls eyes*

      ...so you want itunes for Android? Um, no. Fuck off.

      No he wanted the phone to act as a peripheral, so webcam/mic/whatever.

  3. Vin Diesel, break-dancing, with what looks like an afro.
  4. I think a lot of that change has come from V for Vendetta though. (Since that has a hyper-oppressive gov't n the v symbolism is to wipe that out) People need to just call it a "V mask" n be done with it cos it just makes folks look stupid if they tie in their anon crap with Guy Fawkes n the bonfire plot. Anyway their plan wasn't to wipe out gov't but to kill James I n usurp him with catholic rule, it'd just be swapping one gov't for another n more than likely leading to a more oppressive gov't since much of the population was protestant at the time. Their plan was: 1. Gather co-conspirators 2. Rent out room below houses of parliament 3. Fill with gunpowder 4. Blow up with James I inside 5. Replace James I with his daughter 6. Have catholic rule 7. Go to the Winchester and have a nice cold pint. The problem came with step 1 since one of them snitched, or we'd have a very different history. Main reason they went after houses of parliament was because it was one place you could a) get access too b ) guarantee when the king would be there. It burnt down in 19th century anyway. (And there was the blitz too) p.s this is what we do to Guy Fawkes on bonfire night:
  5. http://gamingeveryth...is-in/?pid=7039 - a review, gave it 95% And the racial bonuses in handy graph form: I'll probably be Breton or Dunmer. Might do Argonian maybe. I'm on a Breton with my current Oblivion playthrough. I could be my great-great-great-grandson. Love magic/battlemage type, so probably be sticking with that. If folks want I can also source the skills you get for each race. Such as water breathing, fire immunity etc. It's pretty much the same as Oblivion though. edit: Bonus and skills in handy list form: Yep I'm using a Breton.
  6. http://pressxordie.com/2011/11/06/mw3-street-date-broken/ Games getting leaked. Bowling & Co seem pretty chilled though.
  7. Man, Bovinelands is offal

  8. f2p/F2P. ftp is a network protocol.
  9. I had someone claim they thought it was just something made up for the film. (The whole "remember remember" poem stuff) I'm not really sure why people would think we're celebrating the dude in general. 1. He failed at the one task he was given. 2. He was catholic 3. He fought for the Spanish 4. He committed suicide at his own hanging. Who the fuck does that? It's a celebration of a failed terrorist attack basically. With some historical anti-catholic undertones. I'm not sure why it's guy fawkes who takes all the credit though, there was a dozen or so part of the plot. However nowadays it's more a case to have a good old bonfire going n watch pretty explosions.
  10. We do have about 200million more people. And it was a decent PC version which will have helped in Europe.
  11. Same. It's pretty big, 26GB purely for comparative purposes is not something I'd want to do.
  12. I've only played Oblivion, so not too huge on the lore n such. But being dragonborn, wouldn't that make you a Septim descendent/heir to the throne? Anyway fairly huge spoiler, but an awesome one. I'd suggest not looking if you want to find out stuff on your own. It's not main quest related though: And image to go with that:
  13. You cancel through the support system.
  14. Arkham City 22nd November on PC. For Americans.
  15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s4Czla6tXc Big show.
  16. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX07j9SDFcc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0AiN8vrn9Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejEVczA8PLU etc. Elton John, Tim Rice n Hans Zimmer. Great soundtrack. btw a minor reminder: re-added the media button. It's the one in-between quote n spoilers. Won't work on the share URL's though (the youtu.be ones) only the full urls)

      I heard some stuff that made me think of Zelda too.

      Almost sounded like a little bit Earthbound in the middle and end, namely a beat somewhat reminiscent of chaos theater in the middle and the cup of coffee dialogue at the end.

  17. So playing Oblivion in prep for Skyrim, gonna see about actually doing the main quest for once. As Samwise Gamgee said "If I take one step further it'll be the furthest into the main quest I've ever been" (I've only ever gone as far as the sewer bit to get the 4th book, that's where I am now, just gotta go see the woman to get it translated. Also got MGS4 from LoveFilm, wanted BAC but at least MGS4 was a "medium" want. People really weren't joking about the movie part. I put in about an hour yesterday, maybe 4 minutes of game up to now. It's pretty fucking silly.
  18. It's in my queue along with Batman AC on "high". Though Batman was on high ages ago and I still ended up with MGS4, so no idea how long til I can play UC3.
  19. lolololol. I thought they said they were going to make it more RPG, not make a mode that just turned it into a corridor shooter. What's the damn point? So in interest, what's the other two modes? In other news:
  20. A lot of MMOs do it, especially near launch. (and going F2P is like a re-launch)
  21. @Ethan: I know IntKeys have it for $35. I'd figure Martian has places even cheaper. (Remember, Martian is Russian. Those "dodgy key sites" that are uber cheap are picking up from his gamestop-equivalent.)
