If someone (ReZ?) could text my my result tomorrow so i can also pass it onto Haden, it'd really be appreciated!

Go as a zebra crossing. Would make for an awesome evening of pictures.

I've listened to Daisy at least 5 times now. It's... still growing... but I feel I can comfortably say it's their worst album yet. There's too much weaving of 'symbols' between the songs (boats, beds, fire, stones) that is too obvious and to no gainful end. They rely on repeating choruses/verses more than I'd like, and there's probably only one song where Jesse gets anywhere close to the self-loathing rambling that he ought to be famous for (that "I am the mountain that was moved~" one). More than any other album (besides arguably YFW and The Smiths,) there seems to be a lot of influences pouring out of these songs. From Modest Mouse and Nirvana to more contemporary Manchester Orchestra and, dare I say, Biffy Clyro and Lost Prophets? Less of the latter, for sure. I hear that BN wanted to focus on recording more gig-friendly songs (by writing a 1 and a half minute song and then just repeating all the verses at some point), yet tehy also want to tour less (even though tehy've got something like 30 US gigs planned before teh end of this year). Personally I think their best songs are probably the least gig-friendly ones, yet the most emotionally strong ones. So yeah. Definitely their worst album so far. ... anything by Legion of Doom, really banging bass, and a core that's so hard that diamonds melt within earshot. Good angry-stare music. Yes, I basically only ever mention the two above stated bands along with MWY. Shrug :P

I've listened to it about 3 times now (it's quite short! I can listen to it one-and-a-half times on the way to work), and yes, it's growing. At The Bottom sounds very influenced by their recent touring friends Manchester Orchestra, and the album as a whole is louder, heavier and less angst or lost as the previous albums' tones were. There's one song I facepalm at -- that one where the vocals flicker on and off rapidly so you can never quite tell what it is that is being sung. Bit pretentious and, honestly, grating to listen to. But more listens are needed!

That utterly sucks man. You're certain you've done all 4 campaigns? I've been struggling to get some of the special infected achievements - 100 yard drag with the smoker, kill all survivors as a tank, incapitate a survivor who has entered and left the safe room. I'm over half-way on the 56k zombie kills, though!

Man, if I were allowed to give infractions for ignorance, then choze'd get at least four in this thread alone.

Your Favourite Place...In The Wooooorld

Hove Lagoon. Ok, so it's not what you would call a recent picture, but it's not actually THAT different today. (if anything it's kind of eerie to see the houses in the background exactly the same) -
There's a girl I had a fling with who has said it to me on repeated occasions. I started off saying "aww, bless you", then it became "but why? You barely know me" then it ended up a sort of "shut the fuck up and leave me alone" thing.

It's kinda off-topic, but I think the gun crime problem in the US is more to do with education and the class divide rather than just that there are more guns. Other countries in the world may have similar gun crime levels but a lower report rate. Gun crime covers robberies and rape as well as murder - things which the criminal is potentially likely to have done with a gun or not. My point is that it's not the guns that kill people (as we've all been sorta saying), it is culture and social oppression. So I guess my point is I sorta agree - it's a mental thing? Useless post this is, then!

Yeah so I didn't actually bother reading your whole post, but if you watched it on DVD then you'll find an option to watch it in the 'correct' order, and yeah, it's not as good.

I'm pretty sure 3D doesn't work for me and my broken eyes. Hooray for the future!

Sorry, but I thought it was very cringeworthy
-
WAIT WHAT?! The album leaked?
-
Yeah there are other things there that I'll definitely be watching (dollhouse and the amazing race, for the lols), and a lot of things I'll give a go... but mostly there's stuff I need to catch up with -- Heroes, Big Bang Theory, The Mentalist, HIMYM, etc. Looks alright though.

I was under teh impression that by allowing everyone the fairness of access to the most powerful weapons at the time, no one person or force would be able to impose their way upon others, which is why there's hypocracy with the US and WMD's, if you ask me.
-
That goes against my policy.

Was it the first time you beat me, too? I'm pretty sure I have quite a good record against you.

N-Europe Chatroom! (thread open for discussion)
jayseven replied to Shorty's topic in General Chit Chat
Erin. Read the very first post in this thread, because you seem to think that the 'chat' is in this thread... It's not. It's in a chatroom thing, elsewhere. -
Cheers pal. Would you like a bag with that? Have a nice day. I'm starting to say the same things to different people. Like, if people are buying their babies some toys I'll say something like "in a few years this'll be an xbox and an ipod" and they chuckle and smile, just like the other 20 customers I said that to. It will drive me crazy eventually.

Yes, I'm sure it's hard being fat, but maybe it's my personal issues -- it's harder being blind and deaf. You can lose weight but my eyes and ears are only going to get worse. That's all it crunches down to, really. No amount of hard work will improve my life, no matter how down or depressed it makes me, I don't have that option to make things any better. I just have to shut the fuck up and deal with it.

Supernatural next week! Yumyumyum! Of course I'm looking forward to smallville and House as well, but it's Southlands and Friday Night Lights in october that I'm more eager for.

With a start, I woke up again
