  1. I read a few of his books when he wrote under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman, I think he did so because he wanted to see if he could achieve success again from scratch or something, as well as publish more books without coming across as a cunt. The Long Walk is quite a different read, but really good, as is The Running Man. The latter is basically a horrific game show (totally unlike the bullshit Arnie film) in a future America where everything's corrupt and totalitarian, where a man is tasked with surviving for 30 days whilst being hunted by hitmen, and at the same time everyone in the country will be rewarded if they find him or kill him. It's pretty damn awesome. Thing is it's been a long time since I read it so I had to rejog memory on Wiki.
  2. Oh, when I saw the thread I assumed you'd landed an autobiographical documentary pilot. Uhm. Well I'll be seeing you...
  3. I should be doing more than I do now, but then that much would be overkill. It's silly really, as these grades would improve my life by so much, but it's whether you want your presentness (i.e. a couple of months) to be strenuous or not. Most people don't, and they lol at the repercussions. Otherwise everyone would be at Uni.

    Chess

    I think the easiest way to do this would just to have everyone signed onto the same thing - Chess.com Then there's no faffy shit between games as people have to set everything up. Use n-europe chat so agreements can be made, so if a game can't be finished, both players can agree to come back the following day or press to finish/hurry up etc. You can save states of games surely? If not, an annoying getaround would be to take a pic of the screen and both just play until every piece is in the correct position. Best to avoid that if (surely definitely?) possible. Raining, I will be your downfall! (punwintentional)

    Chess

    I'm not too keen about tieing all this up into fb. I insist Ellmeister takes the spot.
  6. Yeah but you've got to think subject quality and attainability. The 5 I've chosen reflect the best of all worlds without compromising too much across the board
  7. Jon, just because you're a cynical waster doesn't mean you can fart your woes and waft them in my direction. I preferred my Sheffield visit than the Birmingham one. The economics dep at Sheff was better, and not tucked a mile away from everything else. Also, the library there was fucking insane - tremendously modern and I could picture myself working there, with a lemon curd muffin. The cafe on the ground floor sold lemon curd muffins to DIE for, and that's reason enough to say Chefs>Burma Manchester overall though was just amazing. It has everything really.

    Oh hadn't seen you were holding one. Ellmeister can have the spot if he so wishes.
  9. I plan on going to Manchester, though I'll have to get AAB, which won't be easygoing. Still waiting on offers from Leicester, Birmingham & teh Sheffield. Really don't want a shelf-stacking job, I mean, I don't want to be wasting my life on videogames and doing that with my life with a totally un-fit partner. I'd probably just kill myself or turn weird, trying to seek attention to make me feel better about myself, as if I deserve better when in fact I don't, and never will. Really wouldn't want that.
  10. That was terrible.
  11. Maybe. Maybe not.

    We'll see

    Chess

    Chess took Sixth Form by the hailstorm this year. I love it, and rape very often. It's an amazing game, and I found myself watching the whole of the World Chess Championship 2010 involving Topalov and Anand. This is incredibility though: I can't see how you could not be fascinated by the game (sorry if vid was posted).
  13. Except he's not because he's toned it down, and now I think everyone's become immune to his bullshit. Almost. He's the most boring poster there if anything. Bring back the days of yore. --- I got Uni offers from Manchester and Reading by the way!
  14. ^ Lul Well it's not that about teh 'thanks', whenever I check NE, I view all my posts and check for those open envelopes. The blue envelopes are much more preferable, but hardly any of them are. Even if I do see an open envelope, I probably won't check it, either because I know I've probably succumbed to posting another forgotten comment in a pointless thread, or it's been ages since I posted it and won't care anymore. Or another reason. But yeah, I just have my profile tabbed on Chrome, so when I'm bored I click it and essentially check for nothing, because like Paj noticed, my activity has been horrendously low. It's like when you keep checking the fridge for food, even though you know that there wasn't anything in it an hour ago. Except this fridge is just frequently stocked with filler material, whereas my irl fridge is weekly packed with win. Basically I'm saying that, as a fridge, NE fails. Things turn mouldy too quick, and too many people want their share. I should be entitled to my fun-size Mars bars but everyone steals them. Who puts them in there anyway? They belong in the Cupboard of Disambiguation Trials and Jordi Cruyff Maritime Snuff Boxes. lekwnflekwn --- Seriously though, NE rotted months ago. It's so dang boring! I'm not saying this happened because of the new 'rules', but it's less enjoyable now. Other Consoles it fucking dire. Every post now is either product support, or a bunch of boring facts. Opinion disappeared, as did jokes. Lame. (it's possibly just my own interest)
  15. Like the rest of you scum? I feel no need to respect Star War at all. Y'all gang up on me 'cause you no I'm the elite member. Bow.
  16. Star War fans are pathetic. The game is also pathetic. Don't waste your time and money Jon. And put an 'h' in your name like normal Johns.
  17. Just make sure to have 999 on hold during play.
  18. Not even gonna bother with the platinum trophy, partly because of having to play caravan. Someone'll claim it's actually simple but I can't be arsed to waste time on it.
  19. I cannot think of many bad films that are good. But I must see The Room at some stage.
  20. http://www.slate.com/id/2249870/ I want him as my father!
  21. Don't associate yourself with those people Dazz, I think that's what poisons your reviews.
  22. company's You aren't the messiah of language, shelf stacker. Although if you do want to go into an editorial job, try the Daily Star, I'm sure they may have a place for you. As a photocopier boy.
  23. I fully endorse your drab replies to my obscure PS messages btw. I will continue to do so, even if it embarrasses your soul. Your Demon Soul!
  24. Ah right thanks for the suggestions. And yeah I did the debugging. I think I'll just not bother with the dang thang.
