Support NeoGAF

[Jedeye Sniv]

So, I'm gonna get slated for this.

What the FUCK happened to Arctic Monkeys

They were such a fresh new band when they first came onto the scene, it was so upbeat, sounded so positive and it was/still is so good. Their first album was fucking phenomenal and I'm talking first album not the EP.

Now don't get me wrong, I like the new album - but fuck me does it seem a little depressive/dreary.

Bring back 2005-2008 AM

Examples:

First Album: http://youtu.be/pK7egZaT3hs /// http://youtu.be/y5ySuWBIglI
Latest Album: http://youtu.be/_E-oxwJutbg /// http://youtu.be/JoKd98AslF4

I've said it before but I totally agree. They've blunted every edge they ever had. I appreciate that they got a cohesive aesthetic they're sticking to, very laid back and languid and vaseline smeared, but it does nothing for me any more. Bummer.

also, along wit h80s Matchbox B-Line disaster, it marks the second young English band that Chris Goss has kinda broken. And I love Chris Goss.

I'd ask the main board but they'd just tell me to but a 100" Panasonic Plasma. I'm after a 32" TV. A Samsung LED Smart TV like this should be fine right.

You will never look back once you get a smart tv. You can beam youtube videos from your smart phone right to the TV, Very handy shit for the people who practice the laid back lifestyle.

In regard to the new monkeys album, I really dig No. 1 Party Anthem.

[Jackben]

Hell yeah man one more for the team is always good.

I cannot wait for GTA-O, it's going to be a new golden age of BritGAF cliqueyness. F0rk and Jackben are going to be LIVID.

Keep talkin like you know something, boy.

Or they could just join in.

And some more ignorance.

Pretty sure neither f0rk nor I ever said we hated GTA V or weren't going to play online. Also, we're separate people, I know you like to group reference Jed (cliques gotta clique) but we have pretty differing opinions about various things. For the record I am going to play but I'm already inked up with Bish's BCT crew. So if I see you on our turf, you'll get an RPG to the face as a welcome.

 

[Jordan]

"I've forgot the fucking words, but this one goes 'I'm going back to 505'"

As much as he tried to style it out... not so cool now.

 

[afoni]

GTAO is literally just going to be me dicking about and everyone sighing about how I stopped off for a game of tennis with Jed while we were escaping after a bank heist.

 

[Symphonia]

If everything goes to plan, I'll become the [almost] Heisenberg of the GTA Online world.

 

[Jordan]

For the people who I do play with (*sniggers*) be it 360 or ps3... Expect me to act like a cunt on GTAO... I will run away with your money, I will be a bastard about everything in game... If you get a nice car and I can't get it - I will steal it or blow it up.

 

[Jackben]

Jordan *brofist*

Why bother doing a bank heist or planning anything like that when you can just rob from the robbers?

 

[Kentpaul]

I'l be heavy jelly of all you ps3 crew online bros circle jerking!

 

[Symphonia]

Why bother doing a bank heist or planning anything like that when you can just rob from the robbers?

I can't help but picture a BritGAF heist ending up like the one in The Dark Knight, with each one of us betraying the others. Except Ninja and Musha, obviously, those two will drive off into the Los Santos sunset like Bonnie and Clyde.

I am already fully aware that I will piss of my friends that I went to school with or game with before GAF. I am fully aware I will probably end up having an argument with one of my friends and can probably see him wishing death upon me (serious gamers too serious) and I will sit there absolutely fucking wetting myself. I remember playing Kane and Lynch's multiplayer and I was like "Right, we'll do this together..." One step away from the getaway and I put a bullet in his head and just walked off... I absolutely fucking wet myself, he refused to talk to me for a week.

I'm not sorry at all about how I'm playing the game, I expect others will try it with me and they're more than welcome to... if they manage to kill me or steal from me then I'll high five them (only if they do it in an awesome, spectacular manor) and seek my revenge when they least expect it... but it will be hilarious.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Nah, Favourite Worst Nightmare was even better. That sharp angular production from James Ford cut straight the good stuff. Granted, Humbug was a slight disappointment, but still a sound record. But then Suck It man, that's a fucking great album.

I think they've just got better and better. I'll be buying the new record tomorrow, and I've loved everything I've heard from it so far.

Edit: Jordan, I'm seeing them in October or November, I can't remember. But I'm sure you'll hear all about it!

I didn't mean it was the end of them as a relevant band. Just the particular era of lads with guitars tearing up the charts and airwaves.

I saw some local kids play the other day and they were all the same songs teenage bands would play 5-8 years ago. Quite sad really, can't think of anything that replaces it. I guess 'original' electronic music producing is cooler now.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

"I play synths, we all play synths"

 

[afoni]

I call dibs on driver in GTAO, btw. I'm a sick as shit driver in these games.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

What about CHEEZMO? Gay or girl? I've always wondered.

Wynaut both?

 

[Symphonia]

Its always nice when 'friends' think little of you.

 

[Jordan]

My friends think little of me but that might be because I'm a cunt.

Yeah, pretty much. Well, landfill indie killed it - when you're seeing genuine pushes for bands like The Twang, The View and The Pigeon Detectives you know shit's about to die. Suddenly guitar music became real lowest common denominator stuff and everyone new and old got real boring.

Personally, I blame Razorlight.

 

[afoni]

I have 3 sets of people begging me to come out this week.

busy though ;-;

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Personally, I blame Razorlight.

Now there's a name I forgot.

 

[8bit]

"I play synths, we all play synths"

I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real
.

 

[Symphonia]

Oh, I know I'm a cunt. But I'm not a backstabbing, clueless retard like some of them seem to think. It's doing my fucking head in.

Now it's all 1 man singer/songwriter with a guitar which is just boring by default

Spoiler

That's what my friend is trying to make it as but I didn't tell him that opinion lol

 

[Jordan]

See, as much as it's not Rock... I love the feels that I get from Ed Sheeran or Passenger, just one man with a story and a guitar. I love that shit.

 

[Kentpaul]

I'm getting sucked into Whatsapp guys, save my soul!

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Wynaut both?

You got to become the cunt everyone loves.

Well someone has sand in their vagina.

Wassup bro, had a hard day? You know you can talk to us about it, we're here for you buddy

NEOGAF

But seriously, I'm not huge on the one man/guitar thing either. Luckily, there's still enough decent guitar music to go around, from here and across the pond. The new D-Plan album should keep me happy for a while.

 

[Jordan]

To be honest, I accepted that I was a cunt a long time ago. It doesn't bother me, I build off from it.

If I know you, I will take the piss out of you, I will be sarcastic and it's rare that I will help you if you're drunk. However, when shit hits the fan - I will have your back, I will support you and no matter who, what or why, you will come first to me.

I have one friend at the moment who comes to me with the same shit every day, gets the same advice every day, and gets taken the piss out of every single day. She knows how I am, she knows I will give advice when she needs it and she knows I will make a joke of it... yet she comes back? The first thing I said to her when I first started to speak to her was "I warn you, I'm a bit of a cunt... well, a bit is an understatement" and she's a great friend of mine now.

Edit: I forgot how good 505 was.

This is what's going on with me at the moment. A likes B. A slept with B. B likes A but not in the way A likes B. A wants to keep it secret from the office that she slept with B and came to me for advice about what to do regarding B. A also asked C and D for advice. Because B gave her weird looks and because I was apparently being weird with him (I wasn't, I even sat down to have lunch with the fucker) A automatically assumes it's ME who's being disloyal and spreading shit, and that's really pissed me off.

If anything is said at all in the office tomorrow, I'm going to go mental and shit will hit the fan big time.

I don't have a many rules in life but I certainly have a few:
1. Don't shit where you work... It will only come and bite you in the arse when shit goes wrong.
2. Nobody at work needs to know my personal shit, I don't need to know there's. If they talk to me about it, I just act so uninterested that it's verging the point of awkward. If they do know my personal shit, as one person at my work does - it's because I trust them and I would stay friends with them when I/they leave.

I made the mistake of adding all my last work lot on facebook and what not, I got lectures about what I put on there, I got bitched at for photographs, I had them pretty much stalking my life. They can fuck off for all I care, what I do is up to me and they have no need to care. "Oh, we're doing it to protect you" If I wanna call my boss a cunt on facebook for basically using me for slave labour then I will call my boss a cunt. If I wanted a photo of me and my ex kissing or being close, I will have a fucking photo. If it's what makes me happy and calm then why the fuck should it matter to anybody else?

What I really can't fucking stand is people who do talk about you and your private shit behind your back. Got something to say? Then please, include me - the odds are, if you're bitching about me, I will agree - I am so self aware of what a dickhead I can be, and if you don't like it please let me know because I won't be so in your face about it.


Edit: Grand Theft Auto Online includes over 500 missions

 

[Musha_Soturi]

I never have current work colleagues on Facebook, unless I know I can trust them. My current workplace I have 1 colleague on Facebook, and only because we know each other from way back clubbing in Camden.

I also have plenty of experience with so called friends bitching behind my back, I don't have much to do with them anymore. Don't need that shit in my life, so I cut it out. Easy

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Jordan, people will always talk about you when you aren't there. It's human nature fella. Don't immediately assume it's bitching man, it could be totally well meaning.

If you really don't care, then just let it slide. Whatever happened to the "fuck it, why not" mantra!

Chin up bro.

Anyway...

I forgot how good 505 was.

One of my favourite AM tracks, particularly lyrically. I love the picture he paints of his long journey to be back with his missus. The whole track culminates with him eventually getting "back to 505", and finally seeing her waiting for him, greeting him with a smile:

"I'm going back to 505,
If it's a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,
And a smile,"

It's the little pause at the end that sells it. He's a brilliant storyteller. I also love this verse:

"Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when you look at me like that my darling,
What did you expect,
I probably still adore you with your hands around my neck,
Or I did last time I checked,"

He's a wordsmith I tells ye.

My chin is in no way down at the moment. I do let it slide, but I wish people who have something negative to say about me to others would say it to my face, it's not a difficult thing to do. I don't know whether people are or are not saying stuff behind my back at the moment. I know I have had it a lot in the past and a lot of it was negative, I have some really good friends who tell me everything and I respect them for that.

Gotta agree with you on him being a wordsmith, his lyrics are genius and they definitely tell a story. That is definitely my favourite track by them, but there are so many from that first album that come close.

I don't have any of my current workmates on Facebook, primarily because I no longer have Facebook, but even when I did, I was extra careful of who I had on there. I had one person from work on there and he's my manager and we get along fine. Apart from that, no-one even went near my friends list, not unless I was 100% sure I can trust them.

To contribute to the topic two pages ago:

I am of the gay.

 

[Jordan]

Everyone tells me I'd turn gay for Justin Timberlake or Michael Bublé...

 

[Jackben]

Well someone has sand in their vagina.

Wassup bro, had a hard day? You know you can talk to us about it, we're here for you buddy

Huh? I thought it was playful, what with the "RPG in your face". It wasn't a genuine threat. I'm not literally going to launch a banned military-grade weapon at you. Please don't sic the NSA on me for a second time.

 

[Vashetti]

Everyone tells me I'd turn gay for Justin Timberlake or Michael Bublé...

Would you?

 

[Jordan]

Would you?

I think I could only decide if it was an on the spot decision.

I mean, they're my man crushes but I'm not entirely sure I would take one from them?

 

[Symphonia]

I mean, they're my man crushes but I'm not entirely sure I would take one from them?

You just reminded me of a 'Would you, could you..' question - if you had to choose between taking it from behind from a big, burly man or having rampant sex - with no condom - with a hot woman riddled with every STI/STD known to mankind, which would you choose?

Who says you have to take?

JT is pretty cool I suppose, but not Mickey Bubbles.

Urgh, that guy sucks.

That's a tough one, having never had anything enter my backside apart from a suppository (still not sure whether the parents were winding me up or not) and only having things leave - I'm not too sure I would feel entirely comfortable with a big burly man giving it to me.

The woman, what sort of condition is her love garden in? Are we talking pus and discharge, or are we talking you can barely notice it?

Who says you have to take?

Well now you've twisted my arm

Edit: Ninj, take that back now.

 

[Symphonia]

I'm talking fayereagan.gif bad.

Having every sexual disease known to man is going to have some profound effect on her love garden. Its gonna stink, there will be pus and even possibly blood and it's going to look absolutely revolting, like a rotting slice of beef.

 

[Jordan]

I dunno man, can I at least be drugged if I go for the guy?

No drugs, but you can have a stick of wood to bite down on.
