Xpert 11 Season 27: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers
Jimbob replied to Haden's topic in General Chit Chat
I'll post my changes up once i get home, IE6 doesn't display Xpert too well without flagging 20 or so error messages up. -
Like myself, stuck in work until 8pm. Won't be able to play until 9:30pm at the earliest.
-
Just as i left for work, the postman arrived and delivered the game. Curses, it's a long day awaiting to play this once i get home.

I'm in a dead-end job taking the crap from the public who have had their livelyhoods ripped from them (aka, the comfy benefit cushion which has turned into a brick). I thought the job i had in 2009 (when the recession hit) was good for life, i was wrong. I very nearly moved out with my then missus, but because of the threat to my job i chose to remain at home and she ended the relationship and made my life hell. So yeah, i'm saving money to move out again. But i don't see myself moving out anytime soon. It's pretty bad, there are no worthy jobs to go for. Oh, and due to the MP's i've not had a payrise in 2 years. Prices have risen, yet my money stays the same.

Games You Tried To Like But Didn't
Jimbob replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Gaming Discussion
The Halo Franchise - I don't know, i tried Halo 4 and played Halo 2 in the past, but i simply cannot like the games. Yes, i've played and completed both. But it was a chore to complete 4 in the end, and i was relieved it was done at the end of the day. Banjo Tooie - I loved the first game, but this was something else. I tried playing it, but it was something i wasn't expecting. The levels were huge, most of them were empty in contrast. And like Kazooie's later levels, most of them had sections you had to re-explore later in the game with an item or split up in order to collect the puzzle pieces. And like it's been mentioned, you leave this for a week and come back you completly forget where you were, what you've done and how you got there. Call of Duty – Don’t get me started, these are simply cack. Same game, different label every year without fail. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater – I heard this was a fantastic game, so I bought it as part of the MGS:HD trilogy. I stopped playing after a few days, I couldn’t get into it properly and I wasn’t enjoying it. I have played many MGS games, last proper one I played was Twin Snakes on the Gamecube. Starfox 64 + Adventures – Played the original and the 3DS remake, not as good as I thought it would be. It was too short, so just as I was getting into it, it ended. I guess Starfox isn’t my cup of tea. Adventures, meh. It was Rare’s last home console game for Nintendo, it was lacking severely in the magic that made them good Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts – I could go on and on about how bad I believed this game is and was. I thought Tooie was bad, but this was something else. No platforming which made the series good, it had too much customising throughout. I know some people loved this, but I didn’t. It felt like it was another game (like SF:Adventures) but had the Banjo cast cut and pasted into the game. I think I did one level and put the game down and sold it. -
I'll throw a playlist together once i get home.

Xpert 11 Season 27: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers
Jimbob replied to Haden's topic in General Chit Chat
@The Peeps. I won't have the time to do a live draw between now and Sunday, so feel free to do the 1st round tomorrow night. I'm in London tomorrow night and not back until Sunday (something to do with the meet i believe). But i can do a draw on Tuesday for the next round if that is ok with everyone. -
Indeed so, pretty shocked to hear this. Great chap indeed.

Blocking Porn - Censorship or Child Protection?
Jimbob replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Chit Chat
Well, best get to downloading as much as i possibly can. Will be selling DVD's under the cover of "Gardening for beginners". -
My reset centre has been completed, had Resetti pop up today (for a good reason only) simply to say thanks for building it and to not forget to save. Started work on the Dream centre today, should have that paid off tonight after a trip or two to the Island (only got 156,000 bells to pay off) now. And, i finally got some lemons!!. My first stake in the turnip market fetched me 150k more on the turnip price i paid for.

I only have the handheld as something to do on my commute to work and back. I'm hardly on it at home. I much prefer playing on the Home consoles compared to handheld. If i am out and about at events, i take the 3DS with me. If a game is out on handheld or home console, i choose the home console first everytime.
-
First impressions, wow. Not going into too much detail, but this is a beautiful game to play. Took forever in choosing names for everyone (including the dog??). But i've put about 2 or so hours into it so far, adding more to it later.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Wii U / Switch
Jimbob replied to darkjak's topic in Nintendo Gaming
I can invision that as well. Fable III was nowhere near as good as Fable II (and that was decent enough) nor anywhere near as good as the original. Some franchises don't need the "future" added to it. Zelda is one, and something i don't want to see occur. Maybe returning to Termina or a new world may be in order to freshen up Zelda a little. Or maybe going back down the RPG route to add to it would help the series. -
Blocking Porn - Censorship or Child Protection?
Jimbob replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Chit Chat
When you take a phone contract out, they have the options available there to impose the restrictions. When i took out my latest contract, i saw the option on the form which was passed to the phone company who sorted things out. Not that i watch adult material on my phone. I know Vodafone, O2 and Orange impose these restrictions. But as phone contracts are under the parents name, these restrictions don't apply. Which is another factor which needs sorting. -
Blocking Porn - Censorship or Child Protection?
Jimbob replied to Fierce_LiNk's topic in General Chit Chat
This is pathetic, censorship in my opinion. The options are available for parents to block this material from the eyes of children. When i was younger, my Dad blocked the content (and he isn't too good with computers) so i couldn't see it. It's so easy to do, and if you are stuck your ISP can assist with it. I watch porn, like many people do. I admit it, and everyone knows and i don't care. I agree with the comments i've read, this should be an opt-in from responsible parents to put into place and not simply an opt out. I know of a recent opt-out choice which was a good decision for Wales, but thats going off the point in hand. I agree that violent "rape" porn and stuff like that needs to be banned, but not general porn. That's not right at all and one i disagree on. But at least it's an opt-out service, so you can at least get it back if you really want it. -
That reminds me, time to find the spare battery and memory cards i have somewhere for the cameras. Will be taking many photos and videos much the same as last year. Edit: There is still 1 space left if anyone wants it, if it's not taken i'll cover the costs for the extra bed so no need to worry about the extra everyone.

I'll put this up now to give advance notice. @ReZourceman, @Goafer, @Dannyboy-the-Dane, @Cube, @The Peeps, @MoogleViper The plan at the moment is for me to do the checking in at the hostel around 10am. If anyone needs to drop off bags or stuff, then an opportunity is available around 10am. My number for anyone who needs it is enclosed. As for payment for the hostel, i'll leave it upto you guys. Either wired over or cash on the day, either is fine with me.
