  1. I think that while this looks interesting, people seem to be praising it purely for how it looks. I'm trying to ignore its original presentation style for a moment since I can imagine becoming accustomed to that after a few hours of playing the game (as I have before with other such games). From what I can tell, it seems it's going for a very traditional and simple approach which may or may not be a good thing. If it's like old school Zelda it could be good, but it would need a bit of complexity. I'll wait and see.
  2. Hey. I went to the UoM and did a degree in Cell Biology, and I'm going back in less than 2 weeks now to do a masters. You definitely don't need a car. There's a huge number of buses every minute that all take you past the university, including some that are free to ride for students of the university. The entry requirements depend on the course. You're best off looking at the UCAS website for the requirements of a course you want to do, and check if you think that's realistic of what you can achieve. Manchester is great. It has much more going on than most cities and it's big. But not as big as London, which in my opinion is a good thing. I can honestly say I don't know anyone who went to my university and didn't like the area or university. When you register to the uni try and get the payment done beforehand via the online system (you'll get a welcome pack that let's you do this), meaning you get to avoid a huge several-hour queue at Whitworth hall. All in all, Manchester is a great place and right up there, particularly for life sciences. Go for it!
  3. Nope, scroll up; everyone acknowledged that the shaftee was you. Stop kidding yourself, sunshine.
  4. Favourite place is round back of chippy like. Feels like having a right nice steak and kidney pie.
  5. Fail Fail FAIL. I move to have Choze banned purely for the worst comeback to being shafted on the forums to date.
  6. No, but you're not an idealist. An idealist strives for an ideal world, and harming creatures unnecessarily when there are alternatives is therefore not idealistic. Just pointing out that you are selectively compassionate (and speciest) as opposed to idealistic. Your logic really is baffling me. From what I can gather, it's perfectly acceptable to kill animals who haven't wronged us, but humans who have murdered and raped shouldn't be killed due to having greater levels of understanding and ability. Heaven forbid these people suffer the kind of fear they afflicted their victims with while they sweat it out on death row!
  7. Just wondering; are you vegan? If not you're not really an idealist. You'd still be buying into unnecessary cruelty; cruelty that wouldn't be present in an ideal world. Gosh, I sound like my ex-girlfriend now. But the point is still true. It'd basically mean you're selectively compassionate.
  8. Killing someone is a bit different to taking a computer. If someone stole a computer they'd probably get a punishment along the lines of losing the computer plus community service/prison. In other words, the punishment would be worse than the crime. But with murder, how would you issue a punishment worse than the crime comitted? It's obvious, really. To take someone's life is to deny the victim of ever experiencing anything ever again. It also meant they were put through tremendous pain and probably extreme fear. There's no punishment other than death that is fair and just for a murderer. Even if they were in prison for the rest of their life they'd have shelter, sports, activities and communication. And let's face it, life doesn't usually mean life, either. Bloody ridiculous. To be honest, unless you're intending to murder someone I honestly can't see why people get their panties in a twist over the thought of the death penalty. Who gives a fuck if some murderous random bastard gets killed?
  9. Are you a tree-hugging, ganja-smoking member of the green party? :p Swings and roundabouts.
  10. See, I don't get this almost egotistical view of ourselves that some people have. We're animals. We still have animal urges and that's why we kill animals that have done nothing to us. Yet people have a problem with killing murderers who would only spend the rest of their days pointlessly rotting inside a concrete prison anyway. Baffling. NO. If they killed someone, they didn't give the victim a chance. Why should they be allowed a chance? And in ALL cases the murderer kills the victim in a far less humane and more barbaric process than the, dare I say it, almost slap on the wrists death they get through the death penalty. At the very least there is a) one less piece of scum on Earth, b) a huge consolation to the victim's families, and c) no silly **** out on the street in 15 years time! I knew it! I knew the saying "an eye for an eye" would get used. Why is this saying used? What purpose do sayings even have? We just use them and expect people to just accept these silly sayings at face value, even though we all know the world literally can't go blind so have no real clue as to what the real consequence for vengeance really is. We should kill people who have carried out a premeditated murder and are of an age and mentality to understand their actions. If you take someone's life, you have no right to yours. You don't even have the right to change, since you didn't give the victim a chance to do anything, either. Chances are a luxury, not an essential.
  11. Well the N64 should be much closer to the front. The fact the DC and Atari are ahead of it is slightly strange; you could name loads of games on the 64 that really were (and still are) groundbreaking, amazing games. I agree with the PS2 being above the GC though - it had far more stellar games, with most GC greats being first party developed, as well as there being far fewer. Oh come on. No one will ever believe that. :p If it's not a factual statement (and in this case, someone's rating of consoles) then it's opinion. End of. Work it out yourself and don't annoy people by challenging them.
  12. How is it? Humans are animals and therefore we kill. We have no problem killing animals who have not wronged us in any way, yet some casually wish for rapist murderers to live? No human being should ever want to cause harm to others, but sometimes it is necessary or just. To say that human beings are so advanced that they shouldn't go killing one another is a bit silly. Someone who shows a complete disregard for another person's life has no right to life themselves. That's what I think, anyway.
  13. There's too many screw ups there for someone to say that the death sentence is wrong. It's clearly one fuck up after another; if you screwed up the use of a carving knife you'd end up dead too. But that doesn't mean we should ban the sale of carving knives. The number of lethally injected people (at least in developed countries) who are later found to have been completely innocent must be negligible. Seriously, that case sounds unreal - such a massive cock up. I think that malicious criminals being wiped off the face of the Earth is a great thing.
  14. He did this with me too...this is a forum where it's almost all opinion. Dwarf, you have to use your brain to determine if people are posting opinion or fact. It's actually quite easy to tell. This list goes against probably most people's opinions. Clearly some thirty-something nerd who still believes the NES is the best thing ever because he had it when he was 10.
  15. I honestly haven't a clue how to play the Mafia games. lol.

  16. Sheikah

    Oh Hai

    S0000uuuke 0000uuuutt. Yo.
  17. This is probably one of the best games on the PSP...I love it. The story is complete shite but the gameplay is fun. And it's one of those RPGs where you could sink loads of time in to get all the best equipment. Not at all bad for a fighter.
  18. At the end of the day, if you're over 20 stone you're obviously eating more than your body requires. It's gluttony.
  19. Yay! Weeee are the champions. In your face, rest of the world!
  20. Huh? But it's not even out on PS3 yet, is it? The PS3 version is obviously going to have a lot more (KKOB did a list) so it's obvious that GamesTM don't know what they're talking about, lol.
  21. Not had them in a long time...I remember the ice cream ones being really nice.
  22. Sorry, I don't play it.

  23. That's cool, but I would try get more from him. You could probably earn that 5k from the job in a reasonably amount of time, whereas now you've got no way of earning any money.
  24. That was the other day, lol. We saw Bruno (strange choice for a first date, I know, but we both loved it) and on the sandwich was sweet chicken teriyaki on Italian bread with onions, lettuce and green peppers.
  25. I guess that makes sense since we know of postnatal depression, prenatal care etc.
