I'm glad they got rid of the booth babes because I think it's demeaning to the respected women in the industry and I think it puts off a lot of families and female gamers from getting involved in the hobby & going to the expos. Also, frankly, I don't feel that comfortable going to something like Eurogamer and geeking out when I feel like there are all these women with no interest in games wandering around and silently (or not so silently as I overheard them making fun of people) judging everyone there.
See? I totally can't shut up about it. I seem to be pissed off tonight, GAF. What's up with that?
What were they saying lol?
I just take whatever I find in the recycling bins of major celebs like yourself.

EDIT: I have figured out Chinner's code. No caps + a missing letter = insta OT celeb

Jeans are supposed to be cheap and cheerful. Why spend £40 or even £200 on them?
Tesco do fine for me, thanksyou

Weird, I'm sure I saw lots of sexy girls at Eurogamer... also don't assume that just cause a girl's hot she's a booth babe or knows nothing about gaming. BGBW made that mistake...

Next time I get caught creepshotting I'm using that excuse.
In the thread I said that if a girl cares about games or gaming, then I'm happy for them to be there, but still - it's not appropriate for them to be in tiny hotpants and nipple tape because it's an all-ages event with kids, parents, families, blah blah blah.
But yeah. Trying to calm down tonight. Who wants to sing some Paul Simon at me?
look bro just cause im down like a pound doesnt mean you can ape my style like blame space or dr eggman

You need to be checking the new Godspeed album out. it is GOD(speed)LY
GAP (great casual shirts), Levis (swear by their jeans), then whatever takes my fancy from: Diesel, Ted Baker, Paul Smith etc...
Burtons, M&S, Next, GAP, Primark, online shops if I'm looking for a specific tshirt, US stores like Old Navy or Sears/Target whenever I'm abroad, sometimes Asda or Tesco if I'm needing holiday clothes at 1am (there's probably cctv footage of me trying on a pair of jeans in public kicking around somewhere).
Not too fussed about labels as long as it looks good. Will never go near a hollister or Superdry though /snob
Edit: Shoes on the other hand....

H&M, Next, Forever 21, Asda, Sainsburys.
Good jeans too.
I already said I felt guilty over that. At least it was a semi-ish compliment she was was saying she look nice. And she did seem engaged in the job and knew what she was talking about so it was a bit unfair of me to lump her in the booth babe category.
As for clothes shopping I usually got UniQlo since they have a wide colour choice and
TK Maxx shock horror

There actually any Irish people in here?

There were. I think we might have scared them off.

I had to do that when I was staying in a hostel in Helsinki. Tasted like crap. There's something wrong with them.
It's like heating water in a saucepan for a cuppa when you don't have a kettle handy. It just doesn't taste the same.
Now don't get me wrong; I love a bit of science and the thought of making tea via microwaves sounds great in theory, but in practice just isn't right.
Can't be seen to associate with the English.

I'd never heard of microwaving water, and they'd never heard of electric kettles. Microwaved water just don't sound right

Microwaved water does sound like a surefire way of getting superpowers though... hmmm.
You'd get the power of water, though.
Wouldn't you just be Aquaman? I can't think of anything more disappointing than getting to be a superhero, but having to be the shit one who gets made fun of by the other superheroes.

So anyway I forgot to say morning Gaf.
Pretty much got things sorted out, so it's all good. Feeling much better this morning.
Well, I say feeling better, I mean mentally. Physically I'm actually pretty ill, everyone in work has got the same thing, sore throat, aches, bunged up etc. 3 people have called in sick today, but muggins here is far too busy so I've dragged myself in, nearly fainted on the tube, feeling crap and can't concentrate. Maybe I'll go home early if I can get everything done I need to.

Ever read "The Boys"? There's a girl on an Avengers/Justice League-esque team who gets more done to her than just be made fun of by her fellow supes.
I'm English and I throw back coffee like it was going out of fashion whilst ignoring the warm, wet mediocrity that is 'tea'.
Yeah, so I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your parents probably bought you from a Polish couple or something. You definitely aren't English.
Sounds more horrific and upsetting than disappointing
You're an Irishman that went a bit wrong.
Coffee here too. I don't mind tea but sometimes I feel like I'm forcing myself to finish it.
Been going through a Red Hot Chili Peppers binge today by listening to "Live at Hyde Park" on the drive to work and now going through "Blood Sugar Sex Magik".
1.) Can't Stop
2.) Around the World
3.) Tell me Baby/Fortune Faded
4.) Power of Equality
5.) Pretty Little Ditty
Notable mentions: Hard to Concentrate, Aeroplane, Love Rollercoaster, Save the Population, Snow.
Top 5/10 RHCP tracks. Go!

Top 5/10 RHCP tracks. Go!
1) By The Way (Hyde Park version for that outro)
2) Can't Stop (got some good memories associated with that song)
3) Save The Population (my personal Karaoke tune when I was in Japan)
4) Parallel Universe (again, dat outro)
5) Cabron (downright funky tune, and always in my BBQ playlists)
6) Road Trippin' (I surf. The words "check the surf" are mentioned. Conjures up images if mates going surfing. Love it.)
7) Californication (Beautiful use of lyrics and a catchy tune. Plus the video was damned cool)
8) Around The World (A fun old song, and a cool way to open a fantastic album)
9) Scar Tissue (A girl I used to fancy loved this song and I was young & impressionable once, so this song has always stuck with me)
10) Teenager In Love (B-Side, but a cool-as-feck cover of a very old rock n' roll song
Bonus: They're Red Hot (Zany, madcap Chili's with Kiedis just funking away)
Man, I love me some RHCP.
