This is true to some extent -- reading text books and making notes certainly helped with my early revision for a-levels, but in a class-room environment you expect to be taught in a stimulating way. That's what teachers are for. If all we needed were text books then why do we go to college?

Saw it for £12 in CEX, and as I said Gamestation have it in their 2 for £30 deal. Just completed it today on normal, got a fair amount of the achievements, but only half of the collectables. Going to run through it on hard tomorrow A thoroughly enjoyable game, in my opinion. Very much like playing a movie, but not too much so it felt annoying. Has anyone played the online mode? At the moment the only reason I'll buy XBL will be to get all the online achievements...

Changevote: MoogleViper. Let's be having you.

That makes the new majority 8, btw. I'd very much like to hear from Eenuh, Haggis, Jonnas, My Buttons are magic!, MoogleViper, Shino and Shorty what they discovered...

Hey now, you're getting pretty defensive. I'd be more worried about the people actually voting for you.

Man, that sounds like a mega-cool group, 'cept I'm currently wearing socks :/ You kids enjoy yourselves. I'm not bitter. *spreads millions of tacks outside their houses*

Erm, I don't really know. I sing to myself? Like, instead of talking, I sing what I'm doing. Not often around others though, as that'd be weird. Despite my usual self-consciousness, I really can't think of any amusing quirks or oddities to speak of. But I feel sad if you don't think of me as weird

You mean the past few days where I've been on a little holiday visiting a sea-side town, not going on the internet? :P Anyway, as I said, I'm hesitent to do that sort of thing because if they're not posting then they're therefore not sending Big C any PMs, thus not a threat.

I'll gladly take that up -- except I'll be 21 and your friends'll be like 18 and stuff... That'd be weird :P I know what you mean, but truthfully it's your skin/arthritis/meds (... hopefully not the meds too much!) which makes you who you are, makes you think the way you do. It's these difficulties in life which makes you see it differently, and appreciate things differently to others. I've got my own health issues which affect the confidence, but also mean that I have a larger awareness of the importance of who a person is due to my own constant worries that people won't see past my own flaws. It limits us, but it shapes us! And besides, I always tell myself that I'm not going to meet my kind of people if I make the 'effort' to go clubbing, or to a bar and actually search for girls there. That's the thing about going out is you don't make friends that way, and it's through friends that you meet the potentials!

Aw hell it's not about talking to women half the time. Being single to me was about re-finding the confidence to do that, and I've got that back now. I just can't be bothered with your idea of screwing them then shooing them. Sex isn't all there is to a relationship, so it's not all I want. I'm afraid I'm a commitment kind of guy, which probably adds an extended period to how long I'll be single :P

I'm working on it... *opens bottle* Oi. Was a mishap of communication -- i thought you'd be in brighton :/ Let me know where you'll be over easter and summer - if you're in newport I'll arrange a trip to my grandparents, if in brighton for summer then you'll meet shorty too! :P I'm all for a newport girlie - the accent is awesome. Mind you, if we get too drunk and my vision gets too blurred, I just might get a little too close for your own comfort...

Ditto-FIVE! *snap* ... yeah. Well for me there's nobody on the planet who I could imagine walking up to and doing the whole "how YOU doin'?" thing. I've resigned myself to the fact that I won't meet any nice ladies 'til I'm settled in a job. I'm not cut out for living it large as a student, as I'm just not cool enough for that. Um. This reply feels utterly futile to both the thread and my situation. The perfect girl for me can't be found because she's always busy enjoying a nice night-in drinking gin, watching a film or playing a game somewhere, whoever she is. Being single makes me realise how shallow the world can be, and makes me annoyed at myself for not joining in, because that'd probably be a lot easier.

Good to see you posting again sprout And that's a fair enough point - what characters can we surmise are left in teh game? You know, I was considering going down the flock-tightening path of suggesting we lynch those who aren't playing or posting much (bluejay, McMad, Mr-Paul), but I'm wary about that route. Is it beneficial? reduces questions and possibilities but also changes the ratio of good/bad in a random way. *refrains poorly from asking if anyone has any info...¬_¬*

¬_¬ Greeaat. Well I guess we now know that Mcoy's not a good bloke -- Spreading a virus that eliminates people. This is getting frustrating.

haha :P Ok, so the character Shorty is playing as has a name that ends in a Y, so you think that has to be Mcoy? What about other people, like platty, ashley, bluey, and so on? And if you mean players with names ending in Y, there's Bluejay left. Either way, all you have to go on is a letter, which is hardly fair is it?

Both being single and being in a relationship have their pros and cons... Ok that's obvious... I've been single now for, what... somewhere between 4 and 7 months. I don't know. The worst part at the start was the solitude, the sudden gap both in my life and inside me -- realising I didn't know who I was, what I was doing, and realising that the one person I could say anything to was gone. Of course, a few months down the line and I've had the time to think about the relationship, about why we broke up. Ok I can't be arsed going into the pitiful stuff anymore; being single is good when you're not bothered about it. If you're happy with who you are and the friends around you then there's no need to feel too alone. It's the whole "ooh I need to have a girlfriend again" will just mean I'll fall for the first person that pays me any attention. Of course I miss the physical stuff -- hugs, kisses, holding hands and TEH NAUGHTYIESZ... but...er... yeah. Ok THANKS yeah being single sucks. Hateyou.

"twice as much action" caught me and made me sad. Don't go backwards, Mr Bond!

Aight! Interactive forum schitzies like this are always worth a couple of pips.

You heard the man -- It's his freaking birthday! Harry Bartholomew dude! *pip pip*

*whoops at another mention of Brand New* Listned to 'You Won't Know' off that album randomly on my iPod today for the first time in aaages, and the song had me. Finally felt like the album is nearing the sublime quality of Deja Entendu. Love the band to pieces, and a new album's been rumoured to hit the shelves before the end of this year, which would be mega-cool-awesome, but I reckon it'll be first half of next year. Where did you see them on tour? I saw them on a one-off gig at Brixton 15 months ago, before I'd heard the new album and they rocked big time! Gutted that they toured with mewithoutYou (for the gazillionth time, people need to give these guys a few chances!) and I never got to see that, as that is seriously the most potentially awesome gig evereverever, for the only two bands i can ever think of promoting.

You live nearby?! dude, we could've met up! I heard it gets real busy over summer, and that some places charge 'local' and 'tourist' prices. Lovely place. Real contrast to scunthorpe/scarborough/sheffield where nobody was smiling, and nobody said hello ever.

well to be honest Rok, if you're going to get uptight about it, then stay out of the threads about it. If eveyone who didn't want to play came in and said so, then it would be silly. Internet = serious business, as Chekhov once said.

Todaaay and the last coupel of days = a trip to whitby with Shorty and his girlie to see her dad. Had an awesome mega cool time behaving silly and general madness occuring all over the place. Trains back today were good as we got a table all the way home! woo! Bad stuff was figuring we'd get some food on the way home and carrying a crapload of heavy shit all the way back... but hey, back! With INTERNETS!¬!!"!£ Sweeny todd tomorrooooww..

Ass. Twas all part of an elaborate plan to infiltrate the forums. Was fun seeing how forumers treated me as 'emo' compared to when they knew me as jayseven ;P mwahhaaa!

:| I can't tell if you're jealous or pitiful :/ I tend to shorten everyone's names to a couple of syllables when responding to them -- Chairdriver becomes Big C, MoogleViper is simply Moogle... But as someone said, the 'viper' bit is part of your personality! Wes, same thing. you're, like, Wes, man.
