I managed to outsmart Turn 10, because apparantly they banned me from all on-line activities, after a race and accepted a gift i had months ago. Got told to delete my account and begin again, otherwise no online gaming. Oh well, looks like Turn 10 had banned Jimbob Rated R, not Jimbob NE. Because i was playing online earlier today no issues at all.

I walked out of Spiderman 3, not because it was crap. Because there happened to be 5 annoying chavs at the back shouting out what was going to happen, how it was going to happen and who was going to die and all that. About 15 of us (including me) walked out, went to the desk and demanded our money back. Cineworld said it wasn't their fault, but we said it is your problem if people are spoiling the movie because you are meant to be in the projection room manning it.

I remember watching Scarface in the cinema (it re-ran for 1 week in Newport), boy that was one of the best audiences i've ever had. It wasn't like you were spoiling the movie, because everyone had seen it so so many times before.

Reminds me of the Walkers "Win a Tenner for getting where it rains next correct". Wonder why you can't pick the Amazon Rainforest as the next place to rain, it seems to rain every afternoon there.

This is why un-employment sucks. So many great titles out, so little money to purchase them with. Only 5 weeks until Christmas, which is enough time to complete/re-play games in my catalogue already. Yes, this is one game i am looking to get. Which will most likely be Christmas to when i get this game.

It will go the same way as all other applications. It is a near cert.

Perhaps they heard that Michael Jamieson (aka Rezourceman) is the creator of such things as Rez Daily and Comedy Rainbow. And not someone who has a brain of knowledge full of useful information.

It's decent, i've actually started to watch the re-runs on GOLD. Didn't like it much when i was younger, but times change and what you may not like when young may become something you like when you become older.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

^ I thought the exact same, but hey. As long as the original cast are involved, should keep me happy. ^ I thought the exact same, but hey. As long as the original cast are involved, should keep me happy. -
Sounds interesting, very interesting. Thats from only viewing the video. If there's a spare invite, send one over. Wouldn't mind trying it out.

I have just basically given up job searching. What is the point of it, when absolutly zero employers seem to be taking anyone on below the age of 25. Between September (when i lost my job) and November (now), i have applied for over 200 jobs. Yes that is correct, 200 jobs. Out of these 200, i've heard back from 30. Out of these, i have got 4 job interviews. Missed out on a 5th because i was attending a job interview already, and had some snobby person tell me they are not interested in someone looking for other work. Been rejected from 3 places i used to work at, 2 because i wasn't skilled enough (bull really, one of them was MY old job but thats a different story) and 1 because the manager didn't want someone who doesn't like being pushed around back. Had 1 job offer, some 60 miles away in a town where i can't get to easily for 8am without re-locating, and can't go to anyway because it isn't based in 1 town, but in 4 or 5 towns. So, in 2 and a bit months i've had not much success. I'm not sure if i want to carry on, but i may. And other things which drive me nuts, i was watching C4 news the other day and there was a women practically giving a lecture to a young lad who didn't have a job. She basically said to him he isn't doing enough to get work, but the news reporter said he was doing more than enough and he just isn't what employers are looking for. He even set a challenge to the women to get a job in a month, she failed and admitted it is a lot harder than what it once was.

New Facebook Messaging System - Will "Kill email"
Jimbob replied to Cube's topic in General Chit Chat
It does sound useful, but do we really want to give Facebook all of our data. Facebook is prone to hackers, and technically a security hazard. I'm not against it, but i do prefer using my phone for texts, my computer for e-mails and both for Facebook. Do i really want to have it all in one place, where i can e-mail/text people on Facebook and recieve it all back. Do i really want to just log into one site and remain there all the time??. Not really, i'll stick to what i have like many people will. I do know a few people excited about this, and will be eager to get their mitts into it. -
Happy Birthday Moogie.

There have been a number of songs this year i have repeated. Fair enough, i'm not one to be "into" the modern day stuff. But, i have been through and discovered songs from the past. These include (there are a few modern in here). Bon Jovi - We Wern't Born to Follow Bon Jovi - What Do You Got Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal K-Naan - Wavin Flag This 1 is a treat for Bon Jovi fans here, because they covered Lennard Cohans original pretty well

You won't regret buying this title, it is indeed a great game. Gets better as you play through it. The controls are quite easy to understand i thought.

Cheers H.O.T, much appreciated. And this Henchman Achievement, jeez it is taking the mick. 10 gold per 5 or so minutes in the co-op mode. Lionhead certainly didn't think of this properly. But i have heard that you can do it offline with a 2nd account, which i may try. Save the internet really.

At least there is news now, which is good. Probably be a patch to go along with it, because people are screaming for one to fix some of the big issues.

Cheek. The combat is excellent, which is better than the SoT combat and a lot better than the Two Thrones Combat. Two Thrones had the stealth element added to it, which was a good idea. But why make it so you only had the Dagger as the main weapon, why not go back to Sands of Time and give you a sword as well. Warrior Within allowed more seamless combat, depending on what the main sword was it allowed more vicious attacks in my opinion. I wasn't much of a fan of the "Death" chasing you at an opportunity which was probably inconveniant at the time, and the last fight at the end wasn't the best (if you got all the upgrades to the heath and picked up the Water Sword earlier for your efforts). But i guess Warrior isn't for everyone. And, in the case anyone was wondering about the game-breaking Sands of Time glitch (where you saved in the Observatory, turned off for a snack then couldn't make anything move or work). There are videos out there that can undo this. Here is one, and this is how i did it as well. I didn't make the video, so don't use speakers as there are no vocal guide points. Here is the instructions Climb on to the ledge next to the crack where farah goes in Run across the wall using r1 to reach the otherside Go inside the room where farah is in ( she may appear to be floating in mid air) Pull the lever ( farah should fall and run towards the exit) climb the ropes to the top VERY IMPORTANT (YOU WILL SEE THIS IN THE VIDEO TOO) when you reach the top you must jump off to the side and kill yourself then use the dagger to rewind time to right before you jumped off. Pull the lever at the top Go down the ropes Go out the exit where farah is waiting

Bit miffed it is PS3 exclusive, only looks cleaner really. If it came to the 360, then i'd probably invest in purchasing it. As Warrior Within is my favourite of the 3 titles.

The weapons i have are Swords/Hammers The Love Sword The Splade Faerie Hammer of the Moon King Aurora's Shield The Casanova The Swinging Sword The Bloodstone Bludgeon Dragonbone Hammer The Absolver Guns The Shrieking Pilgrim Gusket's Musket Swift Irregular Reaver Industries Perforator The Barnumificator Briar's Blaster The Hero's Companion Desert Fury Ol Malice I'm considering re-starting my game, but transferring all these weapons over to a new file. For the reason being, i think this file i have is corrupt. There are a few quests i remember seeing/doing in my original file but since re-starting and having this update, they haven't returned. Which means i cannot get all the Silver Keys, Gnomes or open the Gold Door in the Requim area. Which is a shame really, i was really enjoying the game so far. The Sam and Max achievement has yet to pop-up, and i've done the quest(s) days ago. I think i know where the corruption took place, and that was in Bowerstone when i saw an orb and it spoke.

I got offered a job yesterday. It all began with a phone-call from a recruitment agency from Bristol (of which i don't have a clue, or remember registering with but thats a different story). They offered me the position of Admin/Accountant in a local company around Chepstow. Starting salary is £18,500 with bonuses, full-time Monday - Friday 8am until 4:30pm, with the option to work over-time if required. Of course, i was over the moon. People say no jobs will fall into your hands, you have to work for them. But..........., there was a slight sniggle with the job. Something they didn't tell me, until they said i start Monday. The number they gave me to call the company didn't match the area code for Chepstow. I gave it a call, they said they are looking forward to seeing me on Monday at 8am...................................... In Swindon. Which is funny, for a Chepstow-based company. So, i ask them more about the job. Turns out the agency were telling a few more fibs/missed out some info. The job is actually based in Swindon, not Chepstow. They asked me to re-locate to Swindon because the job involves a lot of travel to other offices around the country. Offices include Birmingham and Leicester. They said i'll need my own car for the travel, but they would pay for the petrol. So, after hearing this i told them that i was un-able to take the job. For the reasons being that i don't want to re-locate, and for an 8am start i can't get to the office in-time to start work. No matter how hard i tried. So, called back the agency and told them to not call me again. Also, i didn't get a job back in an old company i worked for (Fairfields) and i didn't get the job with Lego, which is a shame.

Have a great day today will, Happy Birthday

Words cannot describe what you just said, this will do.

I did a little searching around, it has something to do with earning money through quests along with the player whose game you are in.

Yes, lets ignore it came out in 2000. Made a modification as well.
