  1. A love bite from what? An octopus?
  2. A nice, fat, HD version of the F1.com trailer is now on Youtube, direct from the source. For your pleasure & convenience:
  3. In case you weren't already aware, there's a brand new and vereh, vereh tasty exclusive preview trailer of what appears to be the near-finished product on the official F1 website. Also, screen shots! Most drool worthy I must say.
  4. I hate raw, whole tomatoes. I'm not sure why, the whole thing just seems wrong, particularly textually. It's like a little liquid balloon with a taut, thin skin with hard little seeds floating around an inconsistent jelly inside. It's just odd. I also dislike Mel Gibson. Somewhat strongly.
  5. Life? I feel like I haven't even been born yet. There's an entire universe for me still to conquer. What "me" is is still yet to be decided. Though growing up and living and studying in parts of the country which double as national-scale retirement communities probably hasn't helped prevent that frame of mind. Also, am I detecting a lot of latent frustrations in this thread?
  6. Experts agree, jets, helicopters and shit blowing up are necessary parts of your daily diet! (Pregnant women should consult a doctor for supplementary advice.) Coming next year for PS3 & Xbox360. From Kotaku: Plenty o' screen shots via the link above. Personally, I'm excited.
  7. The Simpsons, Season 9, the episode where Principle Skinner is revealed to be a fraud, having never served in Vietnam and somehow managing to fool the real Skinner's own mother for so many years. In one fell swoop the writers successfully and permanently destroyed an entire and meticulously constructed character universe and retroactively neutered every humorous and surreal Vietnam cutaway we had ever had from Skinner, and all in exchange for an episode of near zero laughs. They do reference the fact occasionally in later episodes, unfortunately self awareness is not the same as good writing (that applies to you too, Family Guy).
  8. Well I'm a dyed in the wool Hamilton fan, so obviously I'd be delighted to see him take his second though I wouldn't mind to much if Button took the double for Britain. I think I'd also quite like to see Webber take the crown, for the novelty of a new Australian F1 champ after thirty years and I can't imagine he'll have many more chances left to do so.
  9. You guys do realize there is an entire board for this sort of nonsense.
  10. The five webcomics which I check most frequently and I ORDER YOU to visit. Girls With Slingshots - Honestly the best written webcomic I've yet found. Encompasses diverse and complex plots on relationships, jobs, alcohol, cats and talking cacti. Questionable Content - Sort of like Friends, except everyone is generally badly dressed and pays rent with low level jobs - basically like real life. Also, Anthro PCs. Menage a 3 - Sort of like Friends, except stacked to the ceiling with gay and lesbian sex. Hark A Vagrant - Usually history-themed comics for smart people by professional smart person Kate Beaton. Also, Wonder Woman comics occasionally. Wasted Talent - The weekly webcomic-diary-blog of 20-something professional Canadian engineer Jam, aka Angelia Melick. No really, it's awesome. I would also like to recommend DAR by Erika Moen, which isn't updating anymore but is still utter brilliance from start to finish.
  11. Put me down as a "C". I mean, I'm not NOT excited by it, but I do feel like I've got all the FPS's I need right now. I'm kinda FPS'd out.
  12. I'm really looking forward to see how it comes off, it's a really interesting attempt at making the season/career mode more then just a series of races. Wouldn't be surprised to see something like it start cropping up in other sports franchises.
  13. The manageress and most of the supervisors, indeed most of the people I work with at the shop are a group of the most charming people you'll ever meet, except for one. He's 26, overweight, balding, has a bad back and his mother still tucks him in on cold nights. He's arrogant, lazy and goes about pushing around anyone he can get away with. He also loves lecturing me about not doing my job quick enough especially when I spend some it doing part of his job, reducing dated produce while still trying to serve customers and stock shelves while he spends 45 minutes doing about 10 minutes of admin in the office. I learned elsewhere that he used to get bullied horribly as a kid. Joined a few dots for me. He's not especially popular with the other supervisors either. I'd hate him more if I didn't pity him quite so much.
  14. Here's the fifth and final dev diary, complete with 2010-spec cars running about. I hope this is as awesome as it looks, I so desperately want it to be.
  15. Gonna be another late round up guys, work is a killer at the mo. It'll be up sooner or later tho.
  16. My thoughts in a series of nutshells: 1. Bad luck Hamilton, bad luck combined with slight carelessness Vettel. 2. Well done Webber, well done especially Red Bull. 3. What Schumacher did was wrong, but it's not a new thing. He's always been like that. 4. Bravo Kobayashi, from 23rd to 9th. 5. 'Tis a vintage age for F1 and I'll fight anyone who disagrees, bare-chested in the street. I'll see you all again come 'Spa at the end of the month. Looking forward to it.
  17. So... is this a perception of me that really exists or did you just think of that because Star Trek is on?
  18. Red Bull are impossibly good form this weekend. How are Ferrari or McLaren supposed to beat a car that can shift up round corners everyone else is shifting down on? Alonso is more then a second away in third! It's Red Bull's to loose (again.)
  19. I don't think I've ever enjoyed/suffered being so attracted to someone I just happened to meet in the way a lot of the people here describe. I have found other people very attractive but not to the point I would describe it as falling in "in love" with them. I have grown emotionally attached with others over time but I've not yet experienced the whole "at first sight" thing some of you seem to be describing.
  20. Don't blame me! I voted for Kodos! Good luck Tom!
  21. Honestly, I assumed you were replying to my post specifically.
  22. Happy Birthday! Hope you had a good day!
  23. It's not my absolute favourite but one worth a mention is Porco Rosso. There's an odd moment that happens to you about halfway through, when Porco is making a break to escape the Italian Gestapo in his new seaplane and you're really getting into the action of it all, when it suddenly hits you: You're watching a movie about a pig. A pig that flies seaplanes.
  24. Rainy here in Scotland too, though today actually turned out to be rather nice and fair. So we live in hope.
  25. Today: A double header mid-season spectacular! Playing home and away... Rising Pheonix 4 - 1 Complete Domstercool It was yet another complete defensive collapse late in the second half that spelled doom for a battered Complete Domstercool squad as Rising Pheonix continued to soar higher and higher towards the top of the table. It had been a competitive hour of play, DC equalising at 1-1 with a shot from Mansell. Dsoon after though RP’s star player Lorimer hit back with his second goal and never looked back, Phoenix offence tearing through the opposition. Two further goals in the last ten minutes finished another bitter day for the Domsters. DISCOUNTED VIAGRA 1 - 1 Juicy Fruits DISCOUNTED VIAGRA were left to count their blessings as Teryoshi Koga stuck late in the game despite the team being firmly on the back foot throughout. Righter scored first and early for the Fruit, bursting through the Viagra defence with Dennis Ramdat for record breaking goal right in the first minute of play. Fruit midfielder Lynch was injured five minutes later but with an organised defence they managed to regroup and strike back to finish with a fortunate point. Bayern Fish 2 - 0 Martinists Men The Fish were left essentially unopposed as they breezed to an early victory against the disorganised Men. Full confidence the Fish pressed the field drawing ire from the referee, eventually finishing with 3 yellow cards. Torsten Hammarskjöld led from the front scoring both of their goals, the first a beautiful header and the second a solid free kick effort from well outside the penalty area. Once again Martinist’s Men had no reply leaving the squad in a deepening state of crisis halfway through the season. Recall United 2 - 1 AFC ReZs Rabies It was a tense encounter between Recall United and the Rabies but one that saw Recall overcome a sub par defence to make the most of the chances on goal. The Rabies offence went immediately on the front foot harrying the RU goalmouth but it was Solano who struck first for the red with a powerful long range shot. Rabies harried again skillfully picking their through the defence but failing to find the net. Recall then countered again with a breakthrough run with a close range shot by Roy MacCalham. Hallerstron finally took a consolation goal for the Rabies in extra time, but question will still need to be asked of ReZ’s defensive lineup. Most Important Result: Bayern Fish 2 - 0 Martinists Men sinking the Men to very bottom of the table. Turned on Style: Rising Pheonix 4 - 1 Complete Domstercool, yet another blistering result for a team on the up and up. Player of the Day: Kieron Lorimer, yet again the star of the Rising Phoenix with a two goals and an assist. ... and then away at home. Complete Domstercool 2 - 3 Rising Phoenix It was a slightly improved performance for the Domstercools but it still wasn’t to dim the unstoppable fires of Rising Phoenix. Things seemed to be going badly as they went two-nothing down despite dominating possession of the ball. Two long range shot goals, the first from Mansell after the first half hour and then again from Altstrand half way through the second half seemed to sink Rising Phoenixs chances. Then the fight back began, Piquet and then McAvoy scoring in the last twenty minutes with the cruel killing blow coming from Bolam in extra time shattering what looked like a olsid victory for DC. Juicy Fruits 0 - 1 DISCOUNTED VIAGRA DISCOUNTED VIAGRA snatched a rare win against the odd with a single goal against a Fruits squad that had everything except luck on the day. Kartasemita, Fruits midfield linchpin was forced to limp off early compromising their ability to set up the shots but their strikers persisted. Four time sthey burst through the Viagra defence only to have each shot sail the wrong side of the post. DV didn’t seemed to be anywhere in comparison with their ofeence being effectively picked apart by the opposition time after time until their star Eichi Takeo finally broke through in extra time to take the match. AFC ReZs Rabies 1 - 1 Recall United It was a gentlemen's affair between the Rabies and Recall with the referee pocket going unmolested despite plenty of action along the full length of the pitch. The Rabies had the best of the possession but were unable to take full control with Recall consistently on the offensive. Wiberg scored first for the Rabies heading in a graceful cross at 25 minutes only for Recall’s Deacon to retunr the exact same favour at 39 minutes. Both harried the goalmouth throughout the second half but neither found the net again, the final score 1-1 unfitting for what was a game of relatively high calibre. Martinists Men 1 - 2 Bayern Fish The Fish continued on their ascendant League cup campaign with a solid victory against the struggling Martinists Men. The Men had their wits about this time and harried the Fish goalmouth time after time with brilliant counter attacking football throughout. Bayern’s golden boy Hammarskjold struck first with a header off Andervi. Jardin finally bagged an equaliser for the Men soon after the break but the squad were soon running out of steam. Niskanen hustled through for a skill full midrange goal to take game and put the Bayern Fish squad within shouting distance of the very top of the table. Most Important Result Martinists Men 1 - 2 Bayern Fish. Now the Fish can start to dream of league glory. Turned on Style: AFC ReZs Rabies – don’t be fooled into ignoring a fantastic attacking performance by the scoreline. Player of the Day: Eichi Takeo rising above it to clinch the win in dying seconds for DISCOUNTED VIAGRA.
