  1. Here goes: 21. I'm going to do it in fives. So... Paper Paper Rock Scissors Paper Rock Scissors Rock Paper Rock Scissors Paper Rock Rock Scissors Scissors Paper Paper Rock Scissors 57. I've worked this out but there might be an easier way. Start off on 301. Get triple 20 3 times = 180 (3 darts). Score is now 121 Get triple 20 again (which equals 60) (4 darts) Score is now 61 Get triple 16 (which is 48) (5 darts) and the score should now be 13. So, the answer is 5 darts.
  2. Seems a bit stupid sending him on loan. Especially as he was getting some gametime towards the end of last season. I had a feeling that this season was going to be his "proper" start to his Liverpool career. It's not like Liverpool are blessed with an abundance of creative midfielders. He could have been useful.
  3. You've got Aquaman, but he's gone to Italy on a loan deal. Hmm, there's also the argument that maybe Gerrard shouldn't be played in the central midfield area, but behind the striker instead. I can see him definitely spending a lot of time in midfield this season. With maybe Kuyt or N'Gog playing upfront with Torres. Or Jovanovic.
  4. They don't "need" anything like you or I do. They don't need to rest, or sleep. Essentially, they're a moving corpse. Do they even need to eat? Probably not. As Jayseven said earlier, their origin stems from African stories about voodoo magic. About how spells could take control of other humans being, or even used to re-animate the dead, for whatever reasons. They don't have control over themselves, hence why most of the time they're walking in a daze or in a stumbling state. Plus, sleep is something that you only need if you're alive. If you're dead, I don't think you'd need it. Its amazing how much we're talking about this. I fucking love zombies.
  5. It depends on the source material, again. Most zombie films I've seen tend to have slower zombies who sorta stumble around at walking pace. The one that springs to mind is from the Dawn of the Dead remake, but then these probably resembled the 28DaysLater type of infected, or the zombies from Return of the Living Dead (not a George A Romero film). These ones should be out of breath. They never are though, but they probably should be.
  6. Could you? Ah, I must have forgotten that. In that case, it pretty much is perfect then.
  7. I've not played 5, but as an outsider, I find the fact that a fair few gamers were praising even the addition of a co-op mode, let alone it being valuable to the overall gameplay very worrying. It is a perfect example of exactly why I worry for the series. 4 was very much an action game and had very little to do with the survival horror nature of the series. I enjoyed the mechanics, and there are tons of memorable moments, so it's a good game. However, I'm not sure I like where Capcom are taking the series. Do people really want co-op in a Resident Evil game? There are already a dozen 3rd or 1st person shooters on systems at the moment, many of which offer co-op. How does 5 stand out from those? When I think of Resident Evil, I think about isolation, the fear of running around Racoon Forest, unsure what's going to jump out at you. Exploring many hallways, where nothing happens, but it all adds to the tension. Best of all, I remember playing this at night, with the curtains closed, with the lights off, and with nobody awake but me. I would like Capcom to have a try at doing another Resi where you get these feelings again.
  8. Hmm, there were one or two things that troubled me slightly, but nothing which was ever serious. The main one was to do with the jumping, it's hard to jump when you can never ever see your feet. But then, that applies to all shooters where you can jump. Even then, it was a minor issue. I was indifferent towards the backtracking. It did slightly make things abit more annoying towards the end of the game, especially when the enemies were harder. But, that's Metroid. I lived with it. Hmm, I don't necessarily agree that Prime 3 being linear had anything to do with it being for the casuals. It was hardly even marketed from what I remember, whereas if it were aimed at them, surely it would have seen more publicity?
  9. Was that true then, about him going on strike? What a prick. I reckon Liverpool could have got a bit more for him, but they probably just wanted shot of him. What a world, eh? Going on strike and refusing to play for Liverpool. Most people could only dream of that. Reminds me of the time when Heinze wanted to play for Liverpool instead of United. What's with these Argentinians?
  10. Brilliant. I can see you winning lots of money in life with ideas like this, Cuboid. You'll be famous for this, one day.
  11. It could very well have been. I like you but for two reasons: Dirty Liverpool Fan. Metroid Hater. Work on these two things, and you'll be great!
  12. I'm trying hard not to read other people's impressions of the game, or reviews and stuff. The Metroid series is a love it or hate it series anyway. I remember reading a review for Prime, which just moaned about the back-tracking throughout the entire review. Also, I don't want to know about the content of the game too much. I have a feeling that may be important for this game. I'll probably pick this up in October sometime, when I get paid from work. Can't wait.
  13. Haha, I just imagined a cartoon there. Where the character has a white vest covered in shit, but sparkling clean hands. Well...Ine's Mother is a bit over the top with cleaning things. A little. I like it, because we usually use it after we've been cooking/during cooking or when we've been washing up. So, if I was going to use the "handle" dispensers, then the handle would really get quite dirty, usually because my hands are covered with bits of food, or cake mixture if we've been making cakes, or something else.
  14. Hmm, oh dear then. We'll see what happens this time. They'd have to be pretty daft to go crazy twice in so many years...I hope we don't see anything like this
  15. He did say in the very first sentence in the original post "apart from work." I have one very fond memory of playing ConnectFour with a little group after they had finished their work. That was great fun.
  16. Ah, fair play. You have to remember, a fair amount of us British folk are dirty buggers. Unfortunatly, I would imagine that there are houses out there that are shit holes. They could definitely use this in South Wales, for example. I can think of a few places. It's not a product that will change the world. It's more of a convenience thing, maybe?
  17. Hmm, I've never really thought bad of the Rangers fans. I've got a good friend who is a Rangers fan, along with her family. She always made out that the Celtic fans were worse. She really loathed them! It'll be a good tie. I kinda wish my family and I were watching it with her family...and her. Probably won't happen, though. Also, Liverpool fans, what do you think of Mascherano leaving?
  18. But then you say yourself in your original post that in a public place, you wouldn't really want to touch the soap dispenser. I don't like using the dispensers in public toilets. Or the taps. So, aren't you saying in your first post that there is some use for it? I like it. I'd prefer to use one of these in public toilets than the other ones we have. Even just for psychological reasons.
  19. I know the zombies are the rising dead, that's what I meant in the first part of my post. Where the guy gets his head crushed on the tombstone, dies, but is then re-animated. It was suggested in the film that this was caused by radiation from outer space, or from a satellite contaminated with the stuff in space, as it fell to Earth. So, yeah, there's no talk of infection. But there's one part in the film where it's stated that a young girl was earlier "bitten" by one of the zombies. She later dies, and is then re-animated. That's partly where I become confused, because...if I were to bite you, you probably wouldn't die. So, hmm. It gets even more confusing because in the sequel, Dawn of the Dead, the same thing happens to one of the main characters (Roger). He gets bitten, eventually dies, and is re-animated. I'm not sure where I stand with this whole "lethal death-biting" stuff. Certainly in the later films, Romero went along with the "If you get bitten, fuck, you're a zombie." I much prefered the original premise in Night of the Living Dead, where the dead were just rising again.
  20. Ine's got one of these in her house. I quite like it. It looks quite futuristic, it stores a large amount of soap, and it looks quite neat in her kitchen. I'm worried, because I've been to B & Q today to get some shelves, and I couldn't help but admire the soap dispensers that they had. I'm easily amused.
  21. Fuck Yeah, No Mercy. The ladder matches were brilliant. None of these paper thin ladders that other losers used in Smackdown 2. We had actual meaty ladders. I used to pedigree other wrestlers onto the ladder and I thought ohhhhh. DDTing them on there as well. It was insane how much pain you could dish out on that game. The only annoying thing was the tables. You had to actually climb on the tables. I wanted to suplex somebody through the tables backstage, but it wasn't possible. IRRRRRON MAN MATCH.
  22. The benefit about playing Rangers is that it's not too far to travel to for the team. So, going to Scotland, Spain and Turkey. The last one is a bit of a trek. A good draw, I think. That Spurs group leaves me horny. Some juicy football matches that.
  23. It's not a dead cert that if you get the blood into your system that you'll die. In the very first Night of the Living Dead film, there were numerous characters who were re-animated after death without ever getting zombie blood on them. One character has his head crushed on a tombstone, another is shot. Both are re-animated. However, one of the character is bitten, then dies before turning into a zombie/ghoul. Hmm, so it's a bit of a mystery really. It depends which material you're sourcing. A zombie itself is a re-animated corpse. Yet, the creatures in something like 28DaysLater are not zombies, they are infected. So, which leads me to believe that if you were "infected with the blood" you would turn into something other than a zombie. Unless you died from the infection and THEN became the zombie. STFU Jim.
  24. I wish. I also want to meet this guy: Don't fuck with the Poirot!
  25. I looooove the old "puppety" Gerry Anderson shows. Like Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett. I wish there were more episodes of Captain Scarlett. That is one show that deserves a proper conclusion. Another thing that I'm a massive fan of is/are the old black and white horror films. Hammer horrors, or science-fiction films, like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or the original Night of the Living Dead. The sense of paranoia, the impending doom, the questionably sane or insane main character. I could watch these kinds of films for every single second of my life.
