Dan; check the link I posted in my first post in this thread. It was posted for you before, regarding southpaw controls. The site tends to have that info quite quick, like.
-
So you think this website wants to take on the main 'ports of call' type sites like IGN? The website already has a good collection of news-related content, I don't think it needs to go out of its depth and try and assault the grand task of reviewing games as well. The internet is an array of tools that the user uses to its own ends. I'd rather go to a site like IGN to read up on a game then find out accessibility via a quick search for a paragraph of the info I need - than go to this site, feel the review doesn't really do much elaborate reviewing, then have to go to IGN and read the same amount again. Disabled gamers are already trolling all the big networks and sites, the suggestion that this could be a new spazzo-hub is itself a bit patronising :P If anything, this site'll just encourage other sites (eventually) to have a paragraph (or a link to one, or whatever) with accessibility ratings... blarg. I'm trying to do my essay you bastards. P.S. Infraction issued, ReZ :P

Fuck off, ReZ. You're not always funny. Flameboy; no, your first paragraph wasn't articulated well at all. I don't know which 'sector' you're referring to, which people are burying their heads in the sand, what 'things' can never be patronising, and who is what with the where, how? I wear hearing aids and I have buggered eyesight (people tend to think both conditions for me aren't that bad, but they're wrong). I have slower 'reaction' speeds on games because it takes me longer to scan the screen to find what I want. I don't consider myself necessarily the target audience of this sort of website, but I also don't think your reply was much to do with my post. I said that their reviews do not need to be so lengthy. All they need to do is surmise the accessibility of games, rather than focusing on full-length reviews covering loads of bullshit that gamers will already know about. I say this because such a shift in their manpower would mean they'd fill up the website quicker, at least.

MURRAY: True. But what if I know his own expedition will lead to nothing but rotten cargo for him, too? Does the code not forbid knowingly inflicting pain on your bros? Plus I hold on to the glimmers.

A lamp would be good... I can't remember specific things Shorty's tried to convince me to get, but I definitely remember the type of conversation :P We'd have about one a week. Good times. Cheers to the three people who've helped with my questionnaire thing. I went to uni today, printed some stuff, got ten random people to let me do my test on them. Already noticing flaws in my experiment, but it's too late to rectify them, I'll just give them a lengthy analysis. SO now I need to get the results on my pooter, then do some reading for an hour, eat a baked potato, then read, then structure the essay (probably all wrong), then continue to ignore teh xbocks. I've been using an ebook of the recommended text book for a few days. Turns out pretty much the only pages missing are, er, massively crucial. Library didn't have them. I'm lolling inside.

There's a pick n' mix kiosk thing in meadowhall, but it's meadowhall, so annoying fulla-people atmosphere to be expected. Dan must know of a proper sweetshop on a school route somewhere, or something.

Odwin; yeah, I figured I had the rest of your tactics pin-pointed, but even I can't see why I chose him as my playmaker - if I had gone for piechnik I think I'd've scored more goals. I'm never comfortable with 1-0 wins/losses, but my Packham (we must have cousins in our squads or something, Odwin) was injured and I didnt want to risk an all-out assault without my goal in safe hands. Our league is still ridiculous - no gaps have formed anywhere. I have a game in hand over DuD, therefore I'd say I'm in the strongest position at the moment. I think after friday's round we'll see a bit more of a divide in the teams. I'm pretty confident I can beat Eddage's side and complete the relegated-teams hat trick :P ReZ's team basically took the piss with 4 up-front. If he had fiddled his tactics a bit different he'd've had more chances, I reckon (minus the long-range shots).

The official help me get a degree thread
jayseven replied to MoogleViper's topic in General Chit Chat
Ok, I need to do a psycholinguistic 'experiment'. Here's the required speel: I'd appreciate your participation in my test; a simple word-association task. I will present to you a list of twelve words, and you are to respond to each with the first four words you think of. Please do not worry about how 'good' or 'appropriate' your choices are, just try to say the first four that you think of. My intention is to analyse how words are connected within our minds, to see whether one proposed 'model' is more accurate than another. If you could PM me with your response rather than posting them here, I'd be very grateful. Your results and my analysis should be confidential, and you are free to ask me to remove your results from my assignment at anytime. I'm also conducting this experiment in the real world, but I'd like to have two solid groups to compare and contrast. So here are the words, in spoiler tags so you can think about one word at a time; -
It should be law to have an extra switch for the bedroom light by the bed.

Gets a thumbs-sideways from me. They don't need to produce such 'detailed' reviews if all they're focusing on is the accessability side of things. Quick, easy-to-find information is what people really want. This topic is depressing and patronising.
-
Very true words, droogs. Reading's going well. I'll close the window now, and try not to not try.
-
Yeah but that's the advice for bros. This here is "is at first you don't succeed, hand her over to a bro" ... which, er, I guess certainly sounds like it'd be in there. She's invited me out tomorrow night with her law society. Advice needed! I have an essay to write. If it's not done in time, should I go out, have a few drinks, then just try to finish it before 4pm on wedsnesday? Or should I just send Dan along, y'bastards.

Wes; he's also a big rugby player nightwolf; They're still cool in general, but they've been friends for nearly 4 years so it's still a bit weird trying to just sit and relax with them in the lounge. The fact that none of them understand me when I say "SO I hear you liek mudkipz?" gives an example of the difference in wavelengths we're on. Certainly not bad living here, though. Well screw dani then. You don't have to cover her rent so let her make a tit of herself.
-
Ok, maybe more like a chicken.
-
Woah, Dani moved out?! lol! Why? Mess? OCD-induced fit? You finally made her cry?
-
Dan reckons that I should 'pass on' hot girl because she definitely doesn't fancy me. I think that is totally against the bro code, no?
-
I'm never going to shave my chest. What a ridiculous notion. It looks like an eagle.

Cleaning issues! I've never been excellent at cleaning dishes. Living with shorty and nami, if I was found washing up I'd get a torrent of thank-yous and you-didn't-have-to's from nami. I have a habit of using the same plate for two, three or five meals. If I'm gorging on microwave meals, or making a sandwich, why use another plate? Why use another glass if all I'm drinking all week is water? Yes, many would say disgusting, but the point (most relevant to my current house) is that I don't use all that much stuff. My current situation is a bit different; two housemates go away every weekend (leaving piles of crap to do) and moan when they return to a larger pile. One of them is a chef, and likes his kitchen immaculate. The other one never does any washing up, uses everyone elses shampoo/shower gel/toothpaste/hard-to-count-food (I recently bought a box of weetos, and didn't even get a single bowl's worth of it), but he never faces the brunt of it because... er... I dunno. They all like him and don't even know me? A couple of weeks ago I took the hint, and have since then kept on top of my own stuff (petty), but today I didn't immediately wash up the tray I used (as I was working, then been procrastinating with essay) and the chef said "those are nice clean plates, aren't they Smeds?" while Cricketer smirked. I made promises to do it tomorrow, felt ashamed, retired to my room for more solitary. So anyway - I just went out and washed up everything that was there. Feel a bit badgered into doing it. I'm more pissed off at the average state of the bathrooms. We have a damp problem and people don't understand that the puddles of water on the floor won't dissapear themselves. BUT THAT IS LIFE! That's communal living. My work has me out while they're in, and they go out when I get home and I'm too poor to join them. They contribute to my general feeling of 'I'm boring', but I don't help by staying in my room for hours straight. But I need my chill time! Arg. Big, stupid, non-readable post. I'm gonna watch UFC 106 then play some solo borderlands. I thought there were 4 of you in the house?
-
oh! yah! Expect it tomorrow :P
-
I want a kinder-surprise one, where each day you have a little toy to put together!
-
'Complicated' implies 'drama' :P I remember each and every bout of the stuff I've ever had (including the current, but-really-there's-nothing-there situation I'm 'in'), and I remember how I had that inner glee that I was experiencing it at all.
-
Not really sure what to expect with tomorrow's game. I'm missing my best keeper, oddy's got a midfielder and a defender out. My players haven't been massively reliable this season, but my star striker's grown a heart so I hope he'll be dependable. Arg!
-
Oh. I just got it.

It's long-past the point where I can treat n-e as my anonymous playground.

Work. Chips. Essay due weds. Hot Girl asked me out tomorrow night. Can't go. Damn. No money. No booze. Must do essay. Must.
