Morning, boys. I woke up early, so I'm making a spicy soup my mate recommended I try because he does nothing but tell me about good food on certain days.

Plus it was 2 for £3 on Tesco Finest soup that's usually £2.20 a pop, so I jumped at it. Will get the roasted pepper soup next time, probably.

Where did you even go?
Jst to some pub i went to when i was down doing a recce of the place

I plaued many games of pool and some lady invited me back to her place,when i got there it was clear she was real lonely, she gave me a beer and then i thought fuck...i think she wants to have sex with me or something...knowing that i was wasted i made an excuse and went back t the pub...had more drinks ( i was already smashed) then when i left I asked a girl for her name and said id add her on facebook, she seemed cool.. as i walked home her boyfriend drove up beside me..i was like aww shit

i cant really explain it all niwo
 
The other half made the mistake of not accepting my neutral (lie) answer to the question: what do I think of when I have a wank?

He's now sulking that I don't just think about porn and thinks it's damaging to the relationship. -.-
There's a Louis CK bit that deals with that very subject. There's also a CYE episode that deals with pop in.
 
Have also managed to give myself a nice little bald patch on my right eyebrow. I hope the fuckers at work buy the stress angle and reduce the time span of this redundancy consultancy accordingly. With a bit of luck I could be gone by mid April.

Just spotted SmokyDave in the Gaming Side wilderness.

He jus' doesn't like us anymore :(

He is on the iOS thread a lot, much like me he finds this thread not only moves too fast but is rife with "in jokes" from a bunch who know each in irl.

Not whining, just le facts.

Da fuck is this shit?

I think about having sex with famous people

The picture is the joy of being a teenager on Facebook, adding people for the sake of courtesy and watching them share enabling bollocks like that image.

Also, famous people? I thought everyone did that at some point.

mikeside, with your vast dating knowledge, what do you do when you ask for a girls number and then she tells you that she gas a boyfriend

In this case she's either got a boyfriend or she's not interested & is trying to back out of the situation without hurting your feelings.

The only classy thing to do is say "OK, no worries" and walk away.

I agree with the 'moves too fast' part, but barely anyone in here know each other IRL. Sniv and I live close, Musha and some of the other Londoners (Pizza, Buttocks, others?) sort of know each other, I guess, but it's mostly just that we're all in here so much & talk on Steam and other platforms that we're all pretty familiar.
 
That Game of Thrones boardgame is super fun.

My advice - be aggressive early on and start forming an alliance with whoever is the least likely to believe you'll screw them over at the drop of a hat.


Where's the new pad? When is my invite to the flat-warming coming through?
That game sounds like Diplomacy. That was such a fucking amazing game.
 
I've know you for years and not actually known what you do. You're like Chandler from friends.




Sounds like you might be joining Tash at the top of the most thread posts leaderboard in the not so distant future.

If I wanted to be top, I could've done that ages seeing as I only have about an hours work a week on average.

Sorry to hear the bad news, Incontentia. Look sharp and you'll land on your feetWould help if you knew a ballpark for what your peers make. And I agree with Darren. You should aim for a reasonable amount along with the long-term feasibility of promotion versus trying to secure a high number from the get go.

It's not bad news, it's great news as I've been angling for it for a while now. Can't wait to be gone!

This is just the result of a small clique (oh look it's britgaf's favourite word) within a community that's supposed to be for a huge portion of an already huge community. People feel alienated by it and can't be bothered.

It's to be expected, really. I've been part of about 3 online communities where absolutely nobody new ever appears because everyone is so integrated already that it becomes impossible to enter any kind of conversation when in-jokes appear so often and a lot of references to past events are talked about.

To be fair, I find the whole of Gaf is like that. Posters who have been around a long time are always making jokes about Gaf 'celebrities' that newbies don't have a scoobies about. Gaf in general can be a bit clicky and some people don't like that. But if you want to participate you just have to get involved, the same applies in this thread.

Hey bud - hope all goes as well as can be expected up there.
And try to come back via. London, yeah? :p

Y'know I genuinely thought about it but after falling asleep at 11 last night I honestly can't see an allnighter happening this weekend. Bummer.

The firm beds are always the best, but hotels rarely have mattresses and pillows firm enough.

The pillows here are weird. Tbh I like fairly flat pillows that I can sculpt to be as high as I need them. These buggers are tall though, have a bit of neckache this morning.

In other news, the lighting and white sheets in the room are making mrs sniv look proper mint. Unexpected funeral bonus!

Still, it's pretty heavy here when we leave the room, being at a table full of weepy grownups is making me feel very much like the 10 year old I used to be. You never feel grownup around your folks no matter how old you are. I wonder if this is how mum feels about nan too? A question for another day I think. Plan for today is to be quiet and respectful. And, if I can help it, super stoned.

I think people joining and leaving threads is only natural. Mayhaps we are a tad cliquey, bit that's only cos we've been posting here for ages now and we know each other fairly well. In fact, I'd go as far as saying lots of us are actual friends now as opposed to just names on a forum.

And even though it's close knit, it's far from closed off.

It's not closed off. I've been posting here regularly enough despite only having been on GAF as a member for about 2 months, but it's a bit daunting to walk into a thread where everyone knows each other stupidly well and just say hello.

But then again, so many of you have been telling me I should go to the meet-up tomorrow. For a cliquey bunch, you sure are happy to welcome in new folk.

I'm much less diligent about reading the whole thread these days though, I just jump in and start yapping.

Calm down susan, I never said Brit Gaf was closed off or cliquey, just that there are some posters who talk in code that only their e-friends get, I don't give two shits, it's just why some of us are here less, we still love some of you dearly.
 
So part 1 of trope 1 (Damsel in Distress) of Anita Sarkeesian's Tropes vs. Women series came out today.

It's amusing that she completely did everything the critics who criticised it before it was even out criticised it of is addressed - well researched, looks to media other than videogames, addresses games that use the trope but are still overall positive, isn't angry, irrational, or "prejudiced against men" or whatever the fuck that was meant to be a criticism of - yet people are still scrabbling to come up with new excuses about why this sucks to hide their own prejudices.

Will certainly watch the entirety of this series. Analysis and criticism such as this is the foundation of improving both art and social equality.

Yeah, I really liked it even if I'm biased that I backed it. That Dinosaur Planet/Starfox thing stings.

It really is cliquey though. Pretty much everyone here knows when to make a quip about how Mike's love life is less than amazing and there's that Kentpaul fucker who pops in and everyone makes jokes about.

Who the fuck is that guy? Seriously.
 
Her dismissal of handheld gaming was awful, that's why it sucks. :(

(I won't watch that thing, gender politics is a subject that I can't be fucking doing with)

The problem with the video is that nobody can criticise it without getting labelled as a sexist.

But then there are the blatantly sexist people who aren't even trying to disguise it.
