The Bard

ZZ Top huh? Not really my thang, but very reminiscent of the mood you would get in a nicotine stained rock bar on Denmark Street. Watching fat, possibly flatulent rednecks having that much fun makes me want a bear gut, some leathers and my own motorcycle gang. Something easy to start off with: EDIT: Changed my mind =p

Uni Qlo is like Japan's equivalent of Primark. Actually, makes me consider how much incredibly overpriced foreign export we swallow for the novelty, irrespective of quality. I was listening to a Japanese sludge rock band I quite love - Boris - and wondering whether I like them simply because they're so detached from the conventions I'm used to. Although, I still buy a ton of stuff from Uni Qlo. Mostly gaming shirts though =p

Went to Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant in West India Quay on friday, the food was fantastic, and didn't instantly tickle my hippocampus with evocations of smarmy annoyance, unlike the "chef" of its namesake. Had same rad pasta or whatever, can't remember what it was called.

Yeah, can't see it anywhere other than above a majorly abused butthole.

In the last month: Peavey 6505, £800 Marshall JCM 800 Lead Series Cab, £200 Dr Dre Beats, £250 And now I can't pay rent.

It's my anniversary! For which I am pre-emptively to expect sex and presents! Fucking score.

I told a hobo to get a job at this summers N-E meet. In my defense I was hugely intoxicated.

Is this game as bastard gimped as everyone says it is? This engine has been prone to buggy shit for years, its about fucking time they updated it. Then again, its an Obsidian game, meaning it will categorically be buggy. Worth a purchase?

Do you reckon this is something of a forced resignation, you know, after he went and slammed the entire Japanese gaming industry as being a bit shit and doomed etc? I totally agree with the man, but I don't understand how he thought he could get away with it, being in a subordinate position in one of Japan's largest gaming companies. He also hasn't made a good game for years. Stones in glass houses and all that.

Schweeeet. My account name is teh_bard. Hit me up anytime, I'm usually online, although I'm going to Hull for a couple days tomorrow. If you have Company of Heroes I want someone to play that with too =D

Sup bitches, anyone feel like playing this with me the way it was meant to be played? ie. on PC? Holla.

I like the game though

God I didn't like this. I tried, but it was so fucking vacuous. And Michael Cera... not a pussy so much as a tunnel full of dicks.

Regarding the final line of your post; that's a prerequisite of them being The Used, rather than the caliber of their live performance, which is probably a superfluous consideration. =p

"That's why we'll never win; They fuck up, they get beat. We fuck up, we get pensions." The show is amongst other things, a source for some of the most earth shattering belly laughs. Incredibly smart dialogue, and for once, America taking a cue from a peculiarly British trait in tv, being that it was written with a full story arc and end in mind, not just a beginning and end point with the intervening seasons left as fodder for the network. Jesus, thinking back, there is so much to talk about, that its difficult for me to think of something to say. It's just so dense; the kind of attention to detail that rewards repeated viewings and really is reminiscent of text, rather than visual media. Ain't nothin but sugar in them veins.

What kinda dumbshit goes to see Gn'R anythefuckingwho? It's not Guns and Roses, its the most obnoxious man ever to grace the musical medium, and his troupe of personal lackeys. By way of an analogy; you don't make eye contact with a Rhino unless you want to get anally impaled.

The company of good friends, I guess. Or, a good book and a cup of coffee. Winning a 4v4 on Company of Heroes =p

Me and my best mate used to go to pub jukeboxes and stick I want it that way by the Backstreet Boys on 7 times in a row and then sit at a corner table with our shirts off. It was rad cause he was 6' 4 and 15 stone so nobody would give us shit. Now he's dead.

I agree with Goron here, Brawl was a massive disappointment after me and my mates took the time to learn the amazingly deep fighting system in Melee. I was more excited for that game than anything else too, and I still have fun playing it, its just a frustration that skill is not as big a factor as it was in previous games. The thing is, most people never looked at Melee as a competitive fighter, but once you dive into it, it revealed a level of depth that was absent from Brawl. I don't understand why they thought that having the same level of combative depth would detract from any mass appeal that game had. Makes me sad.

Happy bday Molly! Hugs and stuff.

The very first ever was John C. Mcginley, but I got over that The ones that come to mind right about now are: Jeff Bridges - Or, The Dude Dominic West - Jimmy McNulty Shawn Elliott - GFW Radio, now of Irrational Games I think he - as do I - interpreted the thread as being to do with people of the sex opposite that of your sexual preference. Braaaap.

I hate clubbing aswell. I'd rather take some drugs and sit playing Smash Bros with some mates the whole night.

I'm never really bored to tell you the truth, I love having fuck all to do, lying in bed for hours at a time with some music on and day dreaming my life away. Also: I play Company of Heroes. A lot.

By god this looks amazing. I actually quite liked Bioshock 2; it introduced some interesting aspects in the form of extended moral choice, but those only cropped once or twice, and it returned once again into the binary of save or harvest little sisters. One thing which that game did fantastically was the combat, I haven't had that much fun in an FPS for a long time. Still, it was inferior in terms of pacing, narrative and just...the mental memorabilia you take with you after its done. Irrational is one of the best studios out there, so hopefully this will more than live up to the pedigree. I just hope they've made an improvement on the actual mechanics of shooting etc, and that it isn't a step backwards from even Bioshock 2.
