This sort of thing would also work, £18.99 and no need to open your PC up since it's USB. Seems fairly well rated.

This game will be all kinds of awesome. The thing I loved about Demon's Souls was that you had to use your brain to survive, and simply rushing in would get you killed. I guess I'm a little fed up of games where you have a super resiliant character, checkpoints are plentiful and there's relatively typical gameplay for its genre. I actually liked the tendency system in the first, although I do agree that it could have been better implemented (e.g. if you die in body form, you would bar your chances of white tendency - most didn't have a clue about this either). The online for Demon's Souls is probably the best I've ever seen for an RPG. Xbox owners, definitely try this! PS3 owners, the original is dirt cheap at ShopTo!

I might also be going to Belgium for a conference, it's really expensive there in Gent though. Something like 120 euros per night for a single room. Beautiful place though.
-
Hay guyshhh Also these: ...were actually outlawed in our playground. Serious amphetamine lark there.
-
The originals, pretty sure I got them all! I loved these, especially Eggy and Top Hat.

I'm planning on where to go this June for a week, always wanted to go around places in Italy so it's looking likely that we'll go there. Japan in the near future would also be nice, given I love their culture, cuisine and technology. Anyway, where do you want to go, or where are you going this year?

You know what would be awesome? It would never happen, but imagine if they included a Zelda dungeon creator tool with the game. People could create their own dungeons and upload them to a server where people could download, play and rate them. It would be like LittleBigPlanet but with better puzzles, using our favourite equipment and whatnot. Majora's Mask was a gem, easily one of my favourite games. The only downside is that I've played both it and OoT so many times that I feel I'll probably be completing this game in autopilot.

Edit: CBAaaa this argument. As pointless as the day is young.

Could selling used video games become illegal!?
Sheikah replied to LegoMan1031's topic in General Chit Chat
Increase in piracy. :p -
True but when it comes out in the cinema you can't watch it at home straight away, so 3D at the cinema could still be viable. I thought it was really, really good for Avatar anyway.

At the end of the day, if people can have what is a superior Wii remote but with games worth playing in HD then I don't think anyone's embarassed for Sony. And if you really want pathetic stunts, well, Microsoft are kings.

I just think if you're going to accuse someone of stereotyping you should at least get your facts straight. Or read just halfway up the page, etc.
-
I'd already explained further up the page how it was misinterpreted!
-
Yes it is common to fill in blanks with their own mind rather than read topics, I've noticed that a lot. It's really what you believe is talking out of your ass though. I would use that term if someone wasn't telling the truth, whether consciously or not.
-
I actually edited that out. But it was her who initially falsely accused me of something, so it was pretty much deserved. How would you like it if someone wrongly accused you of stereotyping people over something when you hadn't? And they would most certainly be talking out of their ass if they did.

The lumping people statement was with regards to 'all smokers stand in doorways, etc'. Feel free to quote part of my posts that states "I believe all smokers stand by doorways or in queues pissing people off. You won't be able to. This is entirely due to the person in question drinking. Why are they drinking to begin with? The drink is hardly the cause of their psychological problems. The initial points raised were that drinking as an 'evil' cannot be compared to smoking as it does not directly affect other people when it is consumed. If people become more violent when drunk, that's because they are violent people who have abused drink. Here's a good example that cuts through this argument: should we ban knives because they can be misused? No, because used properly they cause no harm to others. Same with alcohol. While you could say a smoker can smoke properly by only smoking in isolated areas, many people do smoke in the vicinity of others or their children, not all, but at least enough to consider cigarettes more dangerous. The day we start blaming alcohol for people's conscious choices is the day when you may as well throw the book at common sense.
-
It isn't because you can drink socially around people, but if you're smoking around people you are causing damage. Hence not really comparable.
-
That has nothing to do with his point (that I was lumping him in a group of people who all blow smoke in faces and stand in doorways). The previous debate was about whether smoking in doorways was right or wrong. Not whether all smokers do that or not.
-
I never did lump you in with anyone?
-
As an aside I will say that although there is clear contrast between smoking and alocohol in terms of health effects, I also believe that there should be stricter regulations on cheap alcohol. Not banned, but certainly none of this cheap shit cider that supermarkets flog. It's one of those cases where you sacrifice a slice of freedom for health and wellbeing, but at the end of the day, it's done with the best intentions. Drinking can't harm others directly, true, but it doesn't always stop people harming themselves. I support the idea of a steeper minimum charge on alcohol to stop the kind of antioscial white lightning type drinks that really don't help anyone at all.
-
That's a problem with the person's personality rather than the drink itself. Plus drunkards can be annoying, but don't exactly cause damage to your health. If you smoked then you probably won't be as annoyed by smoke around you too.
-
Yeah but you told people to fuck off if they drink alcohol despite stating the very reason why they are quite obviously different. :p
-
I'd be up for some red dead. Gotta love it.
-
What is it with justification against other evils in this topic? Not really a good defense for smoking. :p Alcohol: - Our bodies can break down reasonable quantities safely with no ill effects - Research suggests that small quantities can actually be good for you - As you said, when you drink alcohol, you don't pour it down other people's throats at the same time (although some may actually thank you if you could, lol). It can be addictive, correct. But so can anything that feels good. The basic point is that smoking is always bad for you no matter how much you smoke, and it affects others directly.
