A scoreline against Mcoy that is pretty much to be expected, especially away. Team put in a great performance, but looking at the x11 it's clear that happenstance and mcoy are the teams to beat this season.

(fyi I won the title with 3 draws, no losses :P Lost both legs of the tea cup final!) (Also Gwladus Dent is my player - it was Dylan Haag for Leed's that scored the OG) Great write-up though! Not sure I agree with me staying at the top for long. Next game is against Mcoy, then with Cube who always has a strong first half of a season. there's legitimately no 'easy' period this season. I think much of my luck lies in the fact that my change reports are never good and never actually reflect my player's true skills - many of whom played a bar or two above their assigned skill level. But a 5-0 start against a team that's stronger on paper is always good!

Best things were a kindle from my dad and a new camera from my girlfriend - both massively unexpected! I also got a new scar for my forehead and food poisoning, to balance out all the awesome

Properly learn chess, cut down smoking, get into carpentry, get fitter. I've got a year with, hopefully, more free time and I want to spend it in ways that are more beneficial than just sitting around surfing the web and playing computer games (tears fell as I typed that)

I found the size of this mafia refreshing and Yvonne's write-ups were well suited with the added drawings. I do think mr-paul was an idiot not defending me the night I died... As for mafia size, it was having a killer neutral on top of it that made the situation almost impossible for town. Of course, if ReZ had knocked off some mafia then numbers would seem doable but with town only having +4 on the mafia numbers then chances were that town would lose 2 a night, which means they'd have to lynch nearly every time -- we got lucky with the first night, getting heroijan (thanks to yvonne letting me send in my target a little late... :P). So yes, I'd say that it was the town facing two killers at once that made it difficult. Plus nobody protecting me the night I died :P

Jim posts occasionally from time to time, Tim now works for Nintendo of Europe, and the site has passed from Tim to Gerben to Connor to some company to Ashley. Roadkill's around as well, don't remember lordpain... Greatkingbowser? Not here anymore and svt4him hasn't been around for yeaaars...

In the UK you can essentially live anywhere for 30 days before the local council can move you on legally. I have no idea if any similar US law exists, though!

So far, received a couple of books - Snuff by Pratchett and this sci-fi book that my friends got signed by the author on their anniversary (lol) -- some unheard of guy, anyway. Also got a passport cover! As for gifts for others - purchased everything so far, buuut waiting for it all to arrive... Need to wrap it too... Don't really think I've done especially well this year.

All of the above, plus a few other names for periods of time. I love that you're back because I mentioned you :P remember svt4him? Didn't you have a kid or something?

ffs just bought bastion at twice that price! 600 MSP is well worth it! Same for plants vs zombies. I may get insanely twisted etcetc, though.

Yeah, there's a few of us :P Hi crazy mexican! Your kid must be old now.

Then AWESOME! I am pleased for you I've been to rome but found it was overcrawling with tourists and didn't enjoy it much... so yeah, I'm of no use to you :P But yes - best of luck to you!

How long have you know the girl have you ever lived with her where will you live once together what if she says no?

Probably not -- but if you "owe" the council money, then you have plenty of time to set the record straight

@Eddage get a letter from your uni as proof that you're a full-time student and send it to the council with your reference number. The council doesn't get to decide what kind of course you're on!

The COD games (and Halo, iirc) allowed you to basically 'plug' a 2nd controller in and have a friend play as a 'guest' online with you, however they would not be able to use their regular profile, nor get any achievements this way -- but it still allows split-screen online fun. Can't remember ever doing it personally, but it's very frequent to play Modern Warfare games and see a gamertag duplicate with a (1) suffix, indicating they are a guest.

Blackout for three hours! Right in the middle of a blitz chess game hmph. Plus side; laptop fully charged so watched Moon in the dark, all cosy and tings.

Got smashed 6-0. My team is ready for the middle league -- everyone playing at least one skill bar below what they are reportedly classed as. Good season ahead, then!

Website of the year: reddit.com It was much earlier this year, perhaps last, that Shorty told me about reddit - I had a look but was very confused as to what was going on. A few months ago I went back on, got a couple of firefox add-ons that shorty recommended and now it's integrated into my daily routine rather nicely. /b/ got too monotonous/nsfl and generally I felt like I was sifting through shit to get to the odd diamond post, while reddit provides me with instant humour or interest if I want it. I know some btards who are fuming at the whole thing, but hey! Game of the year... A tricky one indeed. Bastion was hugely mesmerising, but I think Deadly Premonition will hold the key to my heart because it was such a quirky little experience - plus not enough other people have played it, and because it's a bit niche in terms of appeal it means I can be all hipster about it. Also, I've not got Skyrim yet... Book series of the year: the Culture novels, by Iain M. Banks Read all of 'em, and books 2-5 just got better and better, then the constant level of quality was always extremely high. TV Series of the year: Game of Thrones While Breaking Bad was utterly fantastic, again maintaining a high level of excellence throughout, Game of Thrones was something I skipped for ages thinking "blah blah fantasy blah." I felt very foolish after i watched the first episode! Mate's lent me the first two books, but I'm hesitant to read them before I watch them, now. Another friend has read all of the books (to date?) and basically threatens to ruin the whole thing every now and then. Album of the year: None... iPod's headphone input socket doesn't work anymore so I've not listened to much music at all. Mostly whatever I listen to in my girlfriend's car -- she likes country and western, so that's a lot of Sugarland and Dixie Chicks (Kings of Leon is an agreeable middle-ground).

I tried to get it as a 'developer' but at some point they wanted my mobile number for verification... fuck that. Can't find a sensible picture for the top -- but it's nice to be able to go to the PAST fairly snappy. Basically reminds me of a time when I had a camera and took lots of silly pictures. Here's hoping that happens in Oz!

That video goes from "aww cute!" to "ohmigod companies must be tripping over each other for this method of data gathering" -- The videos tend to show you some quirky idea that, if applied correctly, means world-changing stuff. There was a video I saw yesterday from 1984 (lol) that predicted much of today's motion sensitive/touchscreen tech that was fantastic.

Care to clear things up a bit, Rummy?

I know several of you guys know of this site already, but recently I've been spending an hour or so before bed watching anything and everything on here. Perhaps it's the subliminal effects of teh cameo it has on the ipad adverts, I don't know for sure. For those who don't know, TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and the whole idea is that TED puts on conferences and invites people to come and talk about their field of expertise. I tend to go for the videos labelled 'fascinating' as they are truly thought provoking. Some of the videos I can remember enjoying are below. The Intelligence of Crows The Birth of a Word Optical Illusions Show How We See What Hallucination Reveals About Our Minds (Gleaned from the 'most viewed' list :P) One of the things I love is the comprehensive subtitling (not that I use more than one option, there :P) which means I can watch it late at night on mute, if need be! Basically you can start by seeing what interests you already (Moot has done a video, that may be something to search for it you like) - but quickly you'll see that you can watch any of the videos and come away feeling like you've learned something new. I watched videos about trying to find the platonic foot, how bacteria communicates, the modern boundaries that define countries, tomato sauce, string theory... Talks are largely restricted to 15 minute time limits, and you'll be surprised how compelling they are. Has anyone else got a favourite they wish to share, perhaps?

Are you looking for general party games or co-op/4-player session games? Castle Crashers is a long-standing game of excellence for the latter. As for general party games, there's the free-to-download (I presume still) Dorito's Crash Course, and if you care to spend a few quid, you can get Table Tennis for like £1.50 from CEX, or look out for the XBLA Arcade disc which has 4-5 downloadable games on disc, including Pacman CE which is good take-in-turns fun for an hour or two, and costs £3, and looks like this; Pacman isn't co-op or multiplayer but fun is had in trying to beat each other's scores, same with Beautiful Katamari. But yeah - dlc has stuff like bomberman, worms, streets of rage, etc. purchasable games like Left 4 Dead are good for multiplayer, but if it's just two people then you're better getting something like Marvel Ultimate Alliance or even one of the Lego games -- again, depends on the timescale. General party games are rare, but I'm sure there are Scene-it games available.... Yeah, need more criteria! Otherwise things like halo, GoW, CoD, Army of Two and Rainbow Six offer some good co-op experiences, either in terms of campaigns or horde modes, stuff like that. Shooters shouldn't be dissed outright - difficulties can be set as high or low as you please, and teamwork is required. Definitely just want to say do not get ilomilo as it's not really co-op at all.
