I was in a terrible mood that day and trolled Germany for no reason. I am pretty ashamed of my actions. It's took me weeks to show my face round these parts because of it.
I wanna get it so bad but i don' have £25 to spare and it sounds like the mod's having some server issues with all its recently popularity. Would've loved to play that this weekend.

Wait, what did Kent say about the Germans? Why do I always miss the juicy stuff that happens in this thread.
He doesn't like them because they steal deck chairs on holiday.
Guys I'm being driven mad here. Still at work... plan to be until 10pm. I've been given security codes and everything to lock down the building. It's friday night! I just want to be at home in my boxer shorts eating pizza and playing Diablo.
The cleaners are glaring at me for still being a potentially messy presence in their empty office.
edit - Perkel in the gypsy thread might be a new challenger for a ban. He's said some reasonable things, but his tone is aggressive. I wonder if over the course of more posts he'll say something stupid?

Went to an antiques store with the parents today. Expected it to be lame but was surprised at how much fascinating stuff was there and ended up leaving with this lovely chess set.
Also saw a wet Frankie Boyle at Byres Road while having dinner in an Indian Restaurant. So all in all, not a bad day. Quiet day tomorrow and Sunday. Might head out and watch a movie or something.

I didn't want to spend 25 so i just bought the AO expansion.. i hear you can run it on top of the free version. Dodgy textures and more bugs aside i just want to get in on the ground floor.
Also i may play AO one day too lol the hardass missions will give the challenge i crave.
about to have one of the Chicago town take away pizza's while watching banged up abroad so good.

Fuck, I thought I needed CO. Gonna try this.
You just need to buy Operation Arrowhead. The servers are getting hammered just now though because the mod's getting so much attention, I can't even get in a game

I'd ask about it in the thread before you go and do anything.

Well, it's your life, but your earlier comment about there only being weird stuff or Limp Bizkit-types motivated me to go have a look-sie, and I was shocked when I saw Tenacious D listed. It just didn't fit!
Worse ways to spend a night, anyway.

You can run it on top of the free version if you have OA..! Il be killing zombies in the next hour.. at the very least il have OA to play if i can't find a server.
I hear the graphics are worse though and theres more bugs, Il be buying arma 2 soon to smoothen it out. I could buy ARMA 2 right now to but fuck spending 25 quid in 1 day on video games.
edit

Fuck me, there's blue sky outside. I'm still in the UK right?
The sun is bright, too. Looking outside my window, I almost thought I was in Florida due to the white houses. Almost.

I was going to go to a tattoo convention, but my partner in crime flaked.
Besides, I haven't played games all week. Been too tired. Gotta make up for lost time.
Still, might as well pick a nice chess set up and put it in your house/flat even if you're rubbish at it. At least you know how to play right? That's all you need really.
More Pics:
I could see them all the time in bonnybridge, now staying in the falkirk area i can see they big ass mountain hills at Stirling.
Back from the barbers guys it was FUCKING AWESOME. Me and the barber and a random dude were talking about good places to get burgers round town..
Manly banter FTW
edit looks like me and the girl are taking a coach trip to Paris in august lol this day gets better as it goes on (200quid? fucking pennies for the great time)
Me, you & Kent meet up and kill some bandits?
Looks like a nice day out there, and it's making me feel like sorting out a barbeque. Sadly, I won't be getting home 'til gone 9, so it'll be a wasted effort.
Hopefully this nice weather will keep until my days off and that way I can bust out the hot tub and condiment dinosaur.

Incoming opinion: YouTube comments are fucking nothing compared to the tedious fucks that populate the Guardian's comments section.
God damn there's some scumbags in there.

I dunno, I mean comments for Lady Gaga turn into some big argument amount the government and illuminati and Obama and shit, it doesn't get more obscure.

I just read a Guardian article about Regina Spektor where it turned into someone calling Obama Hitler and morally inferior to Assad in the space of like 4 comments.
Also, whilst YouTube comment morons tend to come off and just that- morons- the Guardian lot have the twin boons of coming across as both stupid and terrible people.
I have a toggle button to hide YouTube comments.
Also you could read CBBC comments (for some reason the BBC homepage directed me to this Newsround article). You have the benefit of feeling intellectually superior to kids.
A good way to start any morning.

Ben, I suggest you talk to your local student union. Hometime should be at around 15:30. If you're still in school at dinner time there are some serious issues afoot.Ben said:
Jon, don't be an antisocial git. Talk to people and learn to read a book for research.Jon said:
SJ Form (wat?). I think you're confused. The school itself will still be contactable. If your parents need to get in touch they can phone the reception and pass on a message. It's a system that has worked for decades.SJ Form said:

I miss my 'working' day ending at 3:30. There's not a lot I miss about being in school, but having the day end during the afternoon and having all that time after is one of them.
I think when I'm completely financially secure in life at age 30-something, I'm just going to work part time.
That won't come anytime soon though, as things I've bought today:
- A VGA box for my Dreamcast. The SCART cable broke ages ago and I've been without Shenmue and Soul Calibur for far too long. I'd say Jet Set Radio, too, but the re-release is out on Steam soon.
- a VGA cable for said VGA box.
- a dance mat for Stepmania. I managed to stop myself from getting a quality one and just bought a shitty £10 soft mat. So what if it only lasts a few months? By then I'll know if my stepmania interest is just a phase or not.
Total damage: £34.92
Also £29.94 will come out tomorrow for Diablo III.
Expensive weekend, considering I've done nothing.
Also I need to book a weekend away with the lover for the release of Prometheus. I introduced her to Alien a couple of months back and I'm pleased to say she took it well, despite being absolutely terrified by it. I don't blame her. For me, it's the only horror film that remains scary upon rewatches.
Luckily, beyond all that, I see no reason to buy anything for ages. I'll be occupied for a very long time.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I've had this dream before.
Seriously though, the only way this happens is if you start/help to start a business and it becomes successful enough for you to hire people to do your shit for you. I was planning on making a start to that this year before I got sidetracked with this pulmonary embolism.
Alternatively, marry someone!
... yeaaaaaah. 30-something is quite pipe-dream, I agree. If I ever make the switch to being a writer, it's something I could potentially achieve. Potentially. Most writers are penniless though, so fuckit.
I'll just accept that working life and gaming as a serious hobby aren't compatible if you still want a social life.
What the hell is this? Listening to music in class? The teacher would have slapped me if I ever tried to pull that, and I don't even come from the age where teachers smacking kids around was allowed.
Earphones, dude. So long as we were essay writing and not needed interaction, we were allowed music in our grammar school, but only once you reached sixth form.

Lucky swine. My 'working' day ran from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM when I was at secondary school. Got in and did all of my homework before doing anything else. Annoyingly, my actual working day is longer than that now.
