The Bard

Oh balls...gonna be at a friends house tonight and they'll probably insist on watching Lord Of The Rings. Again. I can't take it. Dear lord what have I done to have offended thee...so? I'll rate it as a trilogy now: 5/10. Good...nay, half decent popcorn flicks, but due to lack of any real purpose or sense of substance, all the flashy elf bullshit just gets so fucking tedious. Aieeee.

I got a random message from someone called Abigail. I thought it was nice, until I found out everyone else had got one too o_0...then it became creepy.

Xenogears is a really awesome RPG dude, you should definately check it out .

Have you played Xenogears though? o_0

Anyone on for a player match in a little while?

Yes, it is. Foreigners have as much right to be here as people who are born here. After all, it's just a fucking piece of land.

Is that because your expectations were too high? . The reality is no match for the legend I'm afraid...

I like it. Why not make it permanent? Oh and people keep telling me that I look sad all the time! It's wierd. I'm not really sad!

I never liked the TR games. She controlled like a fucking tank and no joke.

I had to take some photos for the "credits" in my schools student magazine, so I thought, why not also horrify the denizens of N-E with your unsightly visage eh? Two birds with one stone. So now I present to you a sight not yet seen in heav'n nor hell, to wage impious war upon your eyes: bit shit really. Camera's flash is broken so it's pretty blurry. Ah well. Who really gives a fuck?

It's a love it or hate it thing.

Dan...are you still drunk?

Looks good. Hopefully they'll add a multiplayed mode this time. I never played the original so I guess it's great for people like me.

I have some of Dark Side of The Moon, and The Wall. I'll torrent Dark Side of The moon then...it's been a while, donno, maybe I'll take a liking to them this time.

Donno, they've always seemed a bit too pedestrian and self indulgent for me. Kinda boring. They're not bad by any means though. It's just one of those things o_0.

All great choices tbh... apart from Pink Floyd

Puzzle Bubble was always better. Bust a Move 4 = best puzzle game of all time...

F.E.A.R. Definately. Best FPS ever.

So...you like balls eh?

Can someone riff off a list? This shitty comp doesn't have sound

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Fuck, this was a total trip. Amusing, bemusing, disturbing and meaningful. The narration was really well done, I thought...kinda has some parallels with The Great Gatsby...with all the speculation on the futility of the American Dream... Anyway, best film I've seen for some time. 10/10.

Bullshit, I've never got pwned by a n00b on any fighter, but that's because I'm fucking ace. If it was so luck based, why would there be annual tournaments with large cash prizes for the winners (who tend to be the same people) year after year? you need to check out Evolution Tournament

I can't open mIRC keeps going on about malware and shit.

Donkey Kong, for that god awful rap he spawned. He deserves a damn firing squad to be set on him. Same goes for Zant.

On the RPG front, yeah I agree, the most beautiful RPG's were made on the SNES and PS1, but they used Sprites and Pre-rendered backdrops, which looked brilliant. They didn't do that on the games of last generation and the look of the games suffered in my opinion. With the next generation of consoles, I felt that 3D has finally caught up to how great the old 2D games used to look in terms of their art style. I think it's a shame that nobody makes great RPG's in 2D anymore, especially when you look at something like Odin Sphere, which is one of the most beautiful games I've seen on PS2. As for Excite Truck, that was 2 days of about 2 and 1/2 hours of play a day. On my first go through Resi 4 , I think I clocked around 35 hours. Thats a hell of a lot more than 2 days, but you could complete it in 2 days if you played constantly enough. Added to that is the Mercenaries mode, and the incentive to play through the game on multiple difficulties, get all the weapons, and extra items.
