So the internet is saying the game has been ready since may, and that it's potentially 'not very good'... I don't really have anything to add to this myself, just thought it was worth sharing.

She must have one of those army suits with all them medals on that looks ridiculous for being with you. Anyway, just read this on MLIA and thought of you ReZ.

Charles Darwin Film Too Controversial For America
jayseven replied to Dante's topic in General Chit Chat
The great thing about Obama is how he's not buckling to all this nonsense. He knows he has four years to make his mark, whether the idiots like it or not, and eventually history will remember him as one of the greatest presidents. -
How's she going to react when she finds out it's you?

Frickin' forgot to SAVE my tactics so we were too defensive and only managed a 0-0 draw. I had more possession by a fair bit and really would've capitalised on it if I was aggressive. The return leg will not be the same, Cube! I can still take satisfaction from having the best keeper. 22 years old and playing at 11 skill. Totally awesome :P

The fossil of a girl who didn't believe in dinosaurs? -
But yes, asteroids are more interesting, oui?

Get some spare livers.

So do you think you're immune to manipulation, and do you think it's ok for manipulation to occur? EDIT: Seperated questions^

First sentence; maybe 'content' was teh wrong word... I think I'm trying to say that most people would rather keep the floodgates open and see what the future brings than to go through the back-catalogue of things. In this hypothetical world then we would continue to live on the same amount of fuel, food, etc, with no increases or decreases :P Second sentence; I don't mean one individual who has experienced all, more that all things have been experienced by someone or other. Moogles points; I think you can compare 'content' more than happiness, which is why I've tried to squeeze that word in everywhere. I would say a closed community is more content because there is less 'greener grass' syndrome around. But I don't think we're capable of being happier than their happiest, nor do I think that we can be happier than any past individual's max potential either. All that changes is the cultural outline of this is what makes you happy. That 'the more stuff we have, the more we want' thing; it's true, but why? What element can we say is 'human' and what can we say is, if at all, the 'fault' of the direction our society has gone in? I personally think that we are certainly greedier than we need to be, and I also thinkthere's an element of force (brainwashing being too strong and conspiring a term)... a subversion involved. Ashley; you said yourself you watch adverts to see how they convey their message -- and that's it. Advertising is basically "you are uglier/worse off without this product." They never directly say that sort of thing, but they suggest it with the trillion methods they have -- and these methods have been attuned over decades. Manipulation, bros. And I think we get bored, excited, aroused, upset, elated and all those other ones no matter what new/old stuff there is. Because we're human. That basic life is what we are. The rest is decoration. Except with capitalism we don't get any say in the decoration, and the decorators have assured us in very convincing terms that these are the best decorations for us, so we're cool with that.

Ok, so I'm not being argumentative anymore as this is a train of thought I genuinely don't know where I stand yet, without more definition anyway. If we could be content with what we have now, or content with what is to come, then why do we choose what is to come? Is it because we know someone else has already (probably) fully experienced everything there is past and present?

You forget there are nearly 30 of us who play x11... ok so 20 regularly but that's still 20 votes :P

Yeah deeewd! Haden, you're clearly going to mop-up at the 2009 forum awards. Although you won't find out until 2013. And by then the world explodes, remember.
-
Well maybe that's just it :P Rant about the good things too! You appear on here as if you're emo. You're not emo irl. 'perspective'
-
Are you sure you don't get 'confused' and 'hit' yourself repeatedly? Sorry, bad, bad attempt at humour.
-
Well I think a lot of the points we have are the same, and we can either get more personal with them and try and define our own existense, or go larger and try and think how theoretically we ought to, or could, live. For example, something I said earlier; if there was no further creative progress, be it in the arts or with technology, would it be so bad? Would you get bored, or would our tastes become more refined as we get the chance to read those books, watch those films, or whatever? The 'more IS progress' mentality of capitalism prevents us from getting the most out of the present standard, so maybe tomorrow's standard is a step in the wrong direction... *shrugs*

Hope your leg'll be alright after all this, dude. You seem to be doing what I wanted to do at uni! Curses to youuu. WHY is your life always so damn bad? Is it?
-
uni library, my man. I was without net for 2 months and still managed to set my tactics... most of the time! Plus now apparently you can set them for future games too.

SO went to the hospital because my hearing aids are both basically dead. Turns out they forgot to process my details over a month ago, so I have to wait up to 3 weeks for an appointment, then another 3-6 weeks for a return to the world of teh hearing. Nice. Got my retake result today! Failed it. Got an email saying I need to come in to uni for a meeting to 'discuss my future options', when tehy told me before that I had none at all. So now I'm shitting myself with this self-aware false-hope shit. I also have to cancel my 7-hour shift on friday, which isn't good. And I might be a student again this year, which isn't good. Well, it is, but I don't want to even consider this a possibility then have this appointment where they go "oh, it's you? Lol, no. Go away," thus destroying any dreams I have as well as taking a very much needed day's work out of my pocket too. So my solution is to get very drunk today and curse teh world that little bit more.

Her face is too wonky.

Yeah that's how it started... All baltic, and I was the first british team to start playing in the league, and through last season and the gap before this one a whole bunch more have joined.
-
AH, I didn't know that Got a team with "Sheffield" in their name this season, so that explains it.

That's perhaps another topic. How are you meditating, and for how long? Doesn't it worry, startle, or at least annoy you that your brain is actually capable of having thoughts that you don't want? This is more awesome than the thread. Ripping it naow. The irony I saw was more along the lines of how anti-trademarks I am - of how trademarks and patents go against anarchy/whatever.
