but ever so delicious
Music actually doesn't help, At a certain point it actually makes it worse. While listening I will get really light headed, tingling feeling in my head and i'm just forced to take the earphones out and try to breath and relax. It's almost a feeling of passing out and throwing up or at least wanting to haha.

Meditation is something I do need to try, I've been meaning to forever. I will actually try and give that a shot tonight. Any specific tips I need to know?

you really just need to practice turning everything off.

It's basically like the simpsons.. when they show what's happening in homers head and its just a bear going around on a bike with circus music... when marge asks him to the ballet

find something. focus on it. and dont let your mind wander.. then let go of that thing... and stare into space... i try to get myself to do it on the bus when im freaking out..

breath slowly. think about nothing, or something pointless until your mind stops wandering.

Cyberpunk trailer sets up the universe, offers a glimpse into what the game will revolve around. Just a nice little taster. It is mainly to entirce publishers and investors to give them sweet sweet money. Also it isn't coming out for another [counts] 2+ years so it is either this or two more years of waiting.

Rotation policy!

Would have been interesting to see what they would have done if Haddin wasn't injured.

Xavier Doherty is the most boring cricketer in the history of cricket. I wish they'd stop picking him.

Whys it called cricket? Cause its the sound most commonly associated with the excitement of the game!

A number of other words have been suggested as sources for the term "cricket". In the earliest definite reference to the sport in 1598, it is called creckett.

Given the strong medieval trade connections between south-east England and the County of Flanders when the latter belonged to the Duchy of Burgundy, the name may have been derived from the Middle Dutch krick(-e), meaning a stick (crook); or the Old English cricc or cryce meaning a crutch or staff.

In Old French, the word criquet seems to have meant a kind of club or stick.

In Samuel Johnson's Dictionary, he derived cricket from "cryce, Saxon, a stick".

Another possible source is the Middle Dutch word krickstoel, meaning a long low stool used for kneeling in church and which resembled the long low wicket with two stumps used in early cricket.

According to Heiner Gillmeister, a European language expert of Bonn University, "cricket" derives from the Middle Dutch phrase for hockey, met de (krik ket)sen (i.e., "with the stick chase"). Dr Gillmeister believes that not only the name but the sport itself is of Flemish origin.

The french also call eating snails 'cuisine'!

Also cricket has french roots? Nuff is said. No wonder the game is based on making it take 5 days and hoping for a draw at best!

The French have one of the best military records in the world. They simply employed the wrong tactics against the Nazis and suffered the wrath of Blitzkrieg.


EDIT: I really don't know why I'm bothering with this...

So why are we getting all excited about that Cyberpunk trailer, when it's all CG and usually we bag out CG trailers?

1. Because there is no faked gameplay.

2. It looks pretty close to the source material which I love and has never seen a decent video game.

Weird, VLR actually arrived today (despite not ever getting a shipping message from OzSave).

I guess this means I won't buy a vita. What a shame.

Got a call back about a job today. Same pay, worse hours, 2 years + progression. I wish they were forced to be upfront about pay in the ad.

Regardless of whether she is or isn't, I'd probably watch to see how she handles a bat.

I'm starting to feel like I'm not going to play another console game for a really long time. You couldn't pay me to play through the vast majority of the games people seem to get excited about and I look at most GOTY lists and see naught but generic dross that I wouldn't look at twice.
