Kinda related; I have a switch on my hearing aids that, amongst actual useful things, means I can hear remote controls when I put then near my hears and press a button.

Woweewowaa! FIVE WINS ON THE TROT!! I was expecting to be relegated this season and now you fuckers have all but ensured I'll survive! My remaining games are against league toppers Silverdale and relegation battlers Happenstance, and certain I'll lose to silverdale, and I think Happenstance will beat eddage so our final game of the season may be extremely crucial! My dev values are all between 10-16, so theoretically there shouldn't be any negative changes on the change report. I'm expecting to have 6 players above 15, so hoping for a few double jumps!

Started on Bioshock 2 today. Not liking how the game thinks it needs to give me hints on what to do just because I explore each area sooo slooowly... I can turn it off but it's been so long since I played the first that I genuinely need the odd controls reminder. Just about to get myself a fire plasmid, so not that far into the game at all. Playing on normal but think I could've started on Hard!

Playing this for about 10-15 mins every other day. I usually get stuck then give up, then return and solve it pretty quick. Currently I'm in the revolving section after the box/circular saw stuff (don't remember exactly where), having started my session with the mosquito bit.

Glad Ville took this thread seriously. Self-harm can be 'a cry for help' - but that term can be grossly misleading. The individual may not be consciously going "hey look at me, gimme some love!" rather they have to turn to self-harm as a means to find some element of control in their lives. Teens are known for turning blades to themselves, but in most cases with young women who have image issues the main scarring areas are the thighs and other places which will be out of sight, which surely negates any such attentive seeking. One girl I knew cut herself because her mother was suicidal. She self-harmed because of guilt, primarily. Another girl did it because she was pretty, thinking she didn't deserve to have her life 'easy' and 'punished' herself. I've stubbed a few cigarettes out on myself when I was a bit younger. I couldn't tell you precisely why, but the twisted logic was something along the lines of why is it always out of my control? If my life is going to be fucked up then why can't it be up to me? I've only cut myself twice, both times very small cuts and mostly just to see what it would do. Self-harm doesn't have to be associated with suicidal tendancies, again hence the tag-line of "cry for help" -- the individual is lost, confused, or overwhelmed. I know people who have run into walls, or who would literally beat themselves up. There's some fucked-up thoughts going on, but the processes that drive people to do these things are, for me anyway, very worthy of empathy. I was depressed for a while and my method of self-harm was sleep deprivation/alcohol abuse. Escapism to an extreme. Eating disorders fall under the same spectrum as self-halm but can be very deeply rooted in a smattering of causes and catalysts. Etc.

Do you have flaking skin anywhere else, like on your scalp or on your joints?

Pretty much every advert annoys the fuck out of me. There's maybe one in a thousand that is decent, but the rest just make me want to shake people and tell them there is more to life than doing what people tell you to dooooo... Apathetic lethargy tangental diversion; aarg.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_commando http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=going+commando Scoop mentioned it in the Branded Clothing thread and it reminded me; Went commando two days ago. Was good. Last time was at school because I didn't take a change of pants to my mate's house when I stayed over and I wasn't a teenager yet so the thought of wearing the same underwear two days in a row was not as reasonable-sounding as it is now. I don't really have any anecdotes to go with this. I spent that day without socks too, for the most-part. Then my dad gave me some socks. Which was nice. I also go most days without a bra, because they're just so, like, restrictive? That was a lol. Sorry. Would you rather go another day wearing the same underwear, or go commando? What'd be your limit for wearing pants?

Phew, glad this thread isn't about the movie as I wanted to have a moan :P My teeth are shite. Chipped six of them, had braces but gave up on the retainer so they've gone fairly 'british' on me and huddled up in weird angles. Top two wisdom teeth are fully through now, bottom two face the rest of my teeth rather than upwards and get shit caught in there all the time. I rarely eat sweet food, and cold stuff hurts. Pretty sure I need twelve fillings. Not been to the dentists in years pretty much only because of how fucking expensive that shit is so I'd rather just let them slowly rot away.

I've only ever had, like, a couple of break-ups. When I was in year... 8? I was 'dating' this girl. Essentially in a science lesson she was telling me and my mate about how her 'boyfriend' didn't like her and I said "I like you". She was all shocked, and the next day before school she had written me a letter saying she liked me too and would like me to be her boy. It had a popeye and olive envelope. Two days later before school her friend came up to be before school and said "you're d-d-d-dumped" and that was it! Didn't even get to go to the cinema for a proper date. Didn't even kiss. She's a lesbian now. I feel that is some sort of victory. And sheikah; really? it may make him sound a little alpha male but your reaction really does just reek of "I need more sex because that cool shit never happens to me", even though I'm sure that's not true at all! Well. not completely sure. I just think you're really making an argument out of nothing because of what some dude did to some chick years ago when, I'm sure, they were New To All This and were in the process of making The Mistakes You Regret But Actually Kinda Shape You. While it is not to be encouraged, it is hardly something to shun someone for, just because it reminds you of That WHOOOOOOORE - or at least the thought of her having sex with someone else, or just sexual thoughts of someone else, while and/or after being with you is like a barbed lance that pierces every morsel of your heart, and though you do hope that she dies in several ways at once your vengeful feelings are somehow superior to his astutely mature view, and incredibly common amongst all adults, that "my sex is better than theirs". Or maybe, y'know, I'm just assuming things or whatever. I WANNA HEAR MORE BREAKUP STORIES. Your turn, nando. I've seen you, eyeing up that self-harm thread. Get in here and theraputerizathon!

I'll sign up, but won't send characters yet. Reminder before we start?

Can we please not have too many at once? It gets very confusing when you're in multiple games, and each game gets a lot less attention and thought than if there were less games occurring at the same time. I'd advise two actual games going on max, with one sign-up at a time, to avoid annoyance at unexpected delays that can lead to players who promised to play but end up dissapearing *ahem*. Of course, I'm not going to enforce it :P I just think it'd be a shame to see the resurgence quickly flounder under the weight of too many games dividing our attention. Plus I wanna do one and mine will DEMAND the players pay close attention.

I promise not to be a shit. Pleae let me play.

Uuuhhrrhrhrhh... WHY Joe, why?! 40pts with two more to play

Ashley; sheikah's 2-bed pad is shared with his mate and his girlfriend. I presume it's a similar set-up to what me, shorty and nami did when we had our flat.

The table will be updated after this weekend's matches have all been played. I've got a provisional 25pts so far with 5 players starting tomorrow... The last time I played this, an average score was 30-35 with a good score of 40+, I think.

Just watched The Fountain last night. I was pretty drunk, so I kept thinking wow, that guy looks loads like Jackman... and was shocked when the credits rolled. I loved this film. I loved how each of Arnofsky's movies I've seen are so wildly different from each other and are so celebratory individually. I want to post what I think happened but each time I put it into words I change my mind... So what do you think was real?

I think technically I could still be promoted... but my head hurts trying to work it out. Never even planned for survival. Kinda half wanted a season in the lower league! I'd be aiming for 3-skill increase (at least) over two seasons if I was relegated :P Surprised myself with the victory! I think my tactics this season were to start off playing the youngsters, which meant that the end-of-season was the time to play my best squad while everyone else was struggling to get their dev values sorted.

Woah 29 people in the league now! ... Who are all the McGraths?

Well today I went to game, got the adapter for £19.99 and got bioshock 2 2nd hand for £7.99... not a bad duo Shorty; someone just told me today that plants vs. zombies was coming to xbla. Despite completing it already, I'm totally getting it!

Thank you Dyson, I'll be sure to pick them both up over the weekend!

I got fairly close to sitrep before. I can't remember if it goes from 120 to 240 or whatever, but I was like 40 away from doing it but I had been ready to prestige for about 20 hours of play and didn't want to wait any longer

So this prestige I've so far completed steady aim and sleight of hand, I have about 31 blast-shield explosion saves and have just started last stand challenge, racking up 21 today (I think? Can't check it now...). Next prestige I'll be concentrating on sitrep, 1-man army and copycat. I've noticed that I've got no stats for probably 90% of the weapons so those latter two will help with that. Time after that... not a clue :P By then I imagine Spec Ops'll be out! I figure my current class will, eventually, be my quarry/(maybe)terminal/(maybe)/invasion class as it's been pretty shite with most other maps.
