1kG'd Lego Batman today - had great fun playing it. Moved onto Pure now. I such at racing games but this one's quite fun!

Arsenal have, what, 4 yellows already? The feed I'm reading makes it out to be all barca, which I guess isn't surprising!

I'm such a tard. Spent all day thinking "yay football tonight woop" but didn't check the TV listings. Sat with the text feed on bbc instead. Booo-ring.

I am having mexican meatballs with chips. Not pancakes.

Man Up and Power Through, you scumnag. Tapedeck Tapedeck Tapedeck Tapedeck. Penguins.

Two questions, really. What's the best present you've given, then what's the best received? A few years ago me and a friend had a 'feud.' It started when I found his present, a bottle of coca-cola warped into a dali-esque shape, at a car boot. The awkward shape led to awkward wrapping, and I was unable to do little else besides, essentially, wrapping the entire thing in sellotape. Next, from him I received a set of drumstickes with wrapping paper ENTIRELY encased with sellotape. For xmas I then gave him a massive ball of what initially seemed like pure tape... after half an hour of ripping and tearing and tears in general he got to the prize... two rolls of sellotape. A "hilarious" exchange of gifts that cemented themselves into history. So yeah! What memorable gifts have you given/received?

Yes... but no :P Causes more havok than penguins. I mean fun.

Hey, I didn't play in your queue-skipper :P And I do concur that people can pick and choose which game to play - up until a certain point (fairly) recently I was proud of the fact that I'd played in every mafia game on these forums. I think the smartest way of combatting this is to have smaller mafia games. My game will have probably 12-14 players. I've not understood the adamant requisit player number of 20 in the last few months. I only ever really get interested once the numbers have dwindled, anyway. And as for your attitude - I like it. It allows me to be blunt when I want to be blunt, without having to worry about your feelings or anything. I agree with you; life is one unrelenting stream of ok-ok-ok-ok-bad-ok-ok-ok-AWEEEESOOOOOOMEEEE!!!!!!-ok-ok-ok-bad-ok-ok (ad nauscum/infinitscum :P). Whatever's GREAT today is superseded by tomorrow's GREAT, so live and deal. BUT! My original point stands. We may have a lengthier queue than we'd like currently, but game 'constructs' have slowed down a bit. We had a heavy month of idealists. This will come and go in waves. The list system came into place because previously this forum was guilty of having sign-up threads occurring far too early in comparison to the actual event, and by which time the game was rife with AFKers that just spoiled it for others. This way, we're able to get sign-ups and the initiation of the game under way within a week.

Genuine lol at this! I watched the first 40 seconds and I was immediately reminded of Conservapedia. Take some stats and skew them and ignore the reasons behind the figures. Women lose their jobs due to pregnancy? How many of them chose to 'lose' their jobs? How many of those chose after their maternity leave, realising that they wanted to spend more time raising their child? A "better chance of entering political office" is based on what? Previous numbers? Well then men will have a 'far greater chance' for the new fucking forever, won't they? Less likely to be "judged for promiscuous behaviour"? Precisely the banal and meaningless media nonsense that I totally despise. The sexual assault line was read as if the narrator hoped that men's chances of rape would increase in the future rather than any real insight into whether the 'chances of sexual attack' have at all reduced over the last 10/100/1000 years, and even then the definitions of 'sexual attack' aren't defined. So yeah. Switched off. Too much tutting. The problem with sexual 'inequality' shit is that it sours regular lifestuff. I've actually had women frown at me for holding the door open for them (and the bloke behind them). Rage. Too much stuff to think about. Arg. Etc.

Woot! Trippled my score in one round! :P Pretty sure I've only gotten Magnus's right so far. I check this thread far too much considering how shit at it I am. I shall do a round in the future of my favourite games and see how they fare :P

Good thread. Short answer; no. Long answer; equality itself can be applied in varying states of subjectivity. We all exist, so we live as equal lifeforms, but we act and we influence differently. We are affected and altered differently, based on the ol' nature and nurture of it all. As lifeforms, that means we're equal to chavs and disabled people and the birds and amoebas and poison ivy. but they are not our equals in terms of morality or ability. Humanity should strive towards true neutrality, however it would demand that individuals act within a much narrower spectrum of morality, that we all share the same ideals. We do not, and these 'faults' lead to the more interesting elements of society. Not everyone understands art, let alone is able to construct it - yet one individuals talent of storytelling feeds and nurtures a generation of others. My belief is not that we are all equal, but instead that we are complimentary. Combined we can excell and attain the novel and the stun. Ing. If you look at society, there are roles that need to be filled in order for the machine as a whole to work efficiently. Be the cog a sewage worker or a teacher, these are vital to the whole. Yet the pay is different, which accounts for the difference in perception of both roles. Fact is, jobs - which is generally one of the primary definers of human existance (sexuality is still a member of the second set of fiddlers, I'd say) - vary in difficulty. Can you train everyone to be a brain surgeon? Can you train everyone to sing perfectly? Again, referring back to inherited moles of abilities, skills, mannerisms and intellect; no. What we all demand is not equality, but respect. I am a dolescum at the moment - yet I do not wish that to be the sole title that defines me. True equality calls for an unblinkered analysis of how multifaceted any individual's role in society is. Equality demands that people shun initial impressions in favour of experience and understanding. My personal quarrels with society include, amongst many, the obsession with the stereotype. Humanity's exponential growth in non-biological evolution (from sticks and stones to ipods and rockets) also includes the vicarious learning spectrum, which unfortunately means that we by default accumulate entire schemas of understanding from what we are told, shown and taught. The power of the media is impossible to understate, yet also a fraught task is found in elaborating on all the intricacies of how it functions! Such an in-depth topic. It's like a giant game of tangental pick-up-sticks, which only proves how it a defining element of our essential philosophy. There is no science that can answer it, and that, to me, is beautiful. TL;DR Shut up and look down at me. (P.S. didn't watch the vid yet)

Luckily the universe cycled round to reconstructing our reality quick enough for the 6 o' clock news this time. Phew!

Multiple recipants, baby! :P Or, y'know... Recipients... :S

^exactly. We've already established that on this forum, there is such a thing as too many good things at once. People get confused, people get lazy. Limiting the number of games at once strengthens each individual game. Similarly, as peeps said, it's polite to wait your turn. It's rude when you go ahead and make a game when 10 people are actively waiting -- and a further kick in the shins when you then subsequentially disappear for a month which leaves the game in a stagnate state. Civilisation, and all that! Doesn't take a minute to PM people ahead of you in the queue to see if you can jump up.

26 - Grim Fandango?

Lol. My present wins! :P Happy birthday old chap. You happen to share it with my mother and my girlfriend. No, the latter two are not the same people ¬_¬

"Shut up Crime!" Low budget movie. Looks kinda fun though.

Dyson's going to launch his sign-ups at some point this week. (Holding him to his promise!)

When I used to troll the irc room, I was KING of the stats :P Good times/pubescent times!

I started it, tbf. I generally like big issue sellers, and I think people who just walk past them and ignore them are very rude. Diageo; I love a good, quiet, countryside walk. Hell, even a walk through brighton's backstreets just soaking the place up is fantastic, too. I generally don't mind walking, but as RA said, in the middle of a busy city centre, it's hellous.

What's the image you're trying to post? Not sure what you mean by box, but it could be to do with where the image is hosted.

32 System Shock 2..?

Quite a few people were making up definitions. There's a lot on there! http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=j7wicked http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jayseven :D/D:

Sitting on a bus is great! You can people watch from teh skies! Diageo; yeah I find walking is really hard. Like, I got a C at GCSE for walking so thought I'd give it a go at A-level but it was just, like, soooo tricky.

nej, was on here. Good idea!
