    I dare not watch the video -- I read an interview a couple of weeks ago and, having only read the first 9-ish issues, I was HEAVILY spoilered. But I'm really looking forward to the show!

    This has been up in the air for a while now -- mostly with HWYD which is generally seen as a thread that ticks all the boxes that odwin lists in the first post. The tv/film/music threads have, in some way or another, led to a very linear type of discussion, with the threads boiling down to the same 4/5 members posting the same, nobody-cares stuff over and over again. We want to encourage new threads. Make a thread about the show or the film or the album or the artist you want to discuss, then you'll see a more concentrated response, rather than your opinion being drowned in the detritus and being completely ignored. The majority of HWYD posts are completely ignored, and the rest are repetitions (as my A Day In The Life Of HWYD thread pointed out). I think what Odwin said in the first post is important to remember -- if a thread makes it to two pages, then it's good. In the old days a 5-page thread was amazing. Just give it a chance. Go new-thread-crazy. It's not like we're banning discussion of these topics. I think there is room for debate for new sub-forums if it is proven that there is enough attention to demand one be made, be it music, films, tv, comics, radios, elements or whatever. Please don't! Let's see how this goes for a bit.

    At level 19 -- 20 I get my tar back, and after, what, 75 kills? Tar silenced! Yay! Sexchoc; we should play again. I was strangely nervous... the game you left I ended up doing pretty good, something like 17-8, then after that I did a 20-2! Usually if I'm playing with a bunch of people and sucking, I'll leave for the sake of teh team --- that is, if my k/d ratio is 1:2 then I'll stop playing because I'm so damn certain that I must be annoying my team-mates.

    Lovely I'm looking forward to a few sleepless nights with that game! Sidebar; do you think poker chips will be the currency?
  5. jayseven
    Had a couple of games with sexual choc so far... he's scored 28-8 and 28-5... I've done 6-12 and 5-11? shameful.

    trocadeeerroooooo! jimbob; let us know if you think the hostel/hotelthingey has potential for crashing... I don't mind splitting room cost and sleeping on the floor...

    Well I'm on now...

    i reckon I can still rock with team deathmatch -- I never play any other mode so I'll suck at free-for-all. I'll be on tonight if we're all up for it?

    I'll be bringing a few cans of alright stuff, but I'll be sure to pick up a bottle of some fancy-looking vintage/farmhouse cider

    ReZ do you still have my number? Can you text me so I got yours for posterity/hilarity? I've still not booked anything, have no idea what I'm doing. I'll turn up with some booze and lack-of-conversation. Who's my drinking buddy gonna be?
  11. jayseven
    Prestiged (again)! I used to rock at the start of a game then slowly get more and more shit, but recently it's been the other way around. if you get it done first time round then clearly it's not thoughtless and you're not the sort of player I'm talking about...

    I'm throwing increasingly larger stones at your window, supergrunch.

    I had a session down there yesterday, too. The other team had snipers at the building and up by the boathouse, so I went into a small building there and picked off some over-eager enemies, knowing they'd not look for me in my window. Ended up attracting a lot of attention, and it was fun because clearly none of us knew the area that well. Dwarf; if someone's finished the game with one kill and zero deaths, then he's most likely a camper. If someone's finished the game with 24 kills and zero deaths, but not moved from the same spot, he may be a camper but within reason. Why move spots if you're racking up the kills? The game encourages a mixture of approaches to TDM - killcams show you where the bastard was, so obv. he can't just sit in the exact same spot and wait for you to fall into the same trap. Having a range of classes means you have an arsenal that can combat any situation... The game is scored on kills/assists. If it was scored with "amount of map seen" and "miles ran" factored in then it would be a different game -- actually, that would be quite an interesting game... Anyway, I rant on about this 'camping' issue because, like noob tubes and heartbeat monitors, it's a part of the game that is available to everyone, and only the purists/elitists get annoyed by it because they think they're untouchable.

    Here's a hint to encourage thread survival - try not to let the 'game simmer down into just a ping-pong between two people. It becomes spamlike, unfunny and hard to join in. Make the rules clearer, too!

    Ah no it was never going to be a high-scoring one on my end. One of my strikers I played got a whopping 3 dev. value from that friendly!

    Daft; The Road was a kinky man-date between me and Dan Dare. He offered me the book before we even knew the film was in production, and we were eager to see it. The first thing I have to say about the movie was that it was one of the most faithful adaptations I'd seen since (perhaps ironically!) Fight Club, with only two or so moments of possible alternative inferences. The second thing is that I find it near-impossible to analyse a film based on a book I have read, because I'm spending the whole time comparing one visualisation to another. Hence why I struggle either to agree or disagree with your comment on it being 'boring'. Then again, I don't think the post-apocalyptical world is meant to be all that fanciful, or in anyway enviable whatsoever. It's a film for the empaths. Plus you failed to mention the Omar cameo.

    In response to all of the above; politics.

    Cube; just to let you know, this friendly is going to be very... silly :P I'm giving my youth the experience. Though I do have Packham in goal, I do not expect anything from this match :P

    I try and mix up my killstreaks depending on the map. Skidrow with a turret is far more rewarding than a harrier of chopper gunner in most scenarios. I use a care package partly as I'm trying to get 1000 crates dropped (though, I've just hit level 70 again and doubt I'll be willing to wait for another 800 crates before i prestige again...) and because there's a lot of fun in the lucky dip. Also, pavelow ftw. It was the last one I unlocked this time. I've had two instances of 25-kill steaks since the last prestige and was slightly annoyed I didn't have it on. I'm getting better at certain maps so I may risk it! Underpass and Wasteland... in all honesty I think it's the dreary nature of the maps that puts me off these days! For me, Estate is the most frustrating because, if I'm not in the house, it seems I'm spending forever just to try and get close to the action. I got a quad-kill, thanks to quality timing and sheeplike opponents, on quarry, with one clip! The team aspect of the game is the weakest for me, mostly because I've basically only started playing online games with MW2, so actually being arsed to form a squad and tactically try and make a balanced set of skills between us is beyond me. Finally; Dwarf, I'm not exactly anti-camping. There's an element of king of the hill involved with owning a spot and successfully defending it. What should be avoided is vengeful gaming, where you've been killed by someone then you instantly head back to that point in order to try and make it even, somehow. By doing this you're playing straight into their hand, and until a player stops being so thoughtless they'll never be any good. Similarly it's why I don't like 1vs1 games, Shorty. Sadistic pleasure when you win, pointless anger when you lose.

    Oi. I've pan-handled this stream first, nighterwolfling!

    I don't see why Raoul Moat is thought of as anything but a noob. He didn't even get enough kills for a care package, ffs.

    Mundi mundi, woo-oooah! Something-something, ooo-aaa-ooooooh. Something else, then something more else than the first something eee-eellse, happy birthday to you too as well as the previous greetings tooooo also but toooo

    Mr_Odwin's dad. Or, at least, what Odwin's dad dreams himself to be. (uber-hoping someone else remembers...)

    Mundi; I don't get it.

    My mate gave up alcohol for three months, each week putting at least £30 (that he would've spent on booze) into a pot that he later gave to charity. He also got sponsored by a bunch of people, and promised to pay double what they fronted if he failed to last 3 months. Brave man. Personally I'm somewhat disenchanted by charities. Sorry.
