Shame, it's a good alt.

Dave Grohl and Phil Lynott are exceptions, because Lynott played Bass and Grohl plays everything and is a musical god.

I suppose doing drumming and singing at the same time is difficult, so Phil Collins can't go with both and he seems to be fairly successful as a singer.

I think that Collins is a good songwriter and a better drummer, though I wouldn't say that his singing is iconic.

Getting from 13 to 14 takes such a long time.

You wait - the climb to 15 has just begun for me :P

You'll get there at level 54 apparently. Doesn't sound too bad, but then again, climbing levels takes longer and longer the more you progress.

Yeah, but that's a side effect. I'm still B/Ping, so I'm well up on the ability to deposit :D

Speaking of levels, congrats on reaching level 47. I think it has a crappy level icon, but the gold aura helps making it look a little better.

Thanks - I like it, so I'll see if I can integrate it into the story.

PS3 - it's free for online gaming, plus the graphics are better and the console doesn't break, as XBoxes are designed to do. One vent passes hot air straight over a few solder spots, which get damaged by the heat over about 18 months, so generally they burn out just after your warranty has expired.

All good for the Sniper then. I'm more impressed with Pyro's Degreaser which is so good for Axtinguisher. I've yet to use that combo since I still need the Degreaser but once I get it I'll have fun with these two weapons.

It really is a sad age and the British political parties make a heavy contribution to that.

Hell fucking no. The current prime minister is pretty much doing everything to bite the lower and middle class in the ass and let the upper class get away with everything. The previous prime minister didn't do a good job with his role either.

Most are very accurate I think and The Reviewers List is one of the slowest lists. It doesn't happen that often that a new user appears, so it will still remain fairly accurate for some time even without tracking any other profiles.

But yeah... would drinking be okay then? Essentially it's not so different from smoking pot, except that one is legal and the other isn't.

Yeah, that's the sad part I've never understood. Drinking is totally fine. Makes no sense to me. If anything, drunk people cause a lot more problems than somebody stoned sitting on their couch, you know? Until our government figures that out though, I can't risk any more tickets. Plus, I can't even get a job if I fail a pre-employment drug test for pot. Hilarious...just hilarious...like I'm going to freak out and assault someone at work from getting high on the weekend, or miss work from a 'pot addiction'. What do these people think is going to happen, seriously?

Lol. Yeah it's not so bad. I know plenty of guys who smoke pot in the weekend and they're all good people. There's nothing wrong with them, in fact most of those guys even study at a university with me. I also know some who really fucked up their brain by smoking too much, but they ended up fine as well and they weren't the most clever ones anyway.

Honestly, I have yet to meet an aggressive stoner and I think it has been proven that our soft drugs policy works. Occasionally there's the overenthusiastic drug tourist who ends up jumping off a bridge, but you can be sure that you won't be buying any toxic junk in a coffee shop.

Yeah I heard stories about some American student who got into so much debt that she could probably only afford a small apartment for like ... the first 20 years she had a job. I don't know, but studying hardly seems worth it if you can get yourself in so much debt.

Of course this is an extreme case though. If I understood the story correctly she went to the wrong bank and picked the wrong loans.

Yeah, anymore I think being in debt is the American dream. The economy over here is just not what it used to be, and I'm not exactly in debt up to my eyeballs, but I have a couple outstanding bills that I need to pay and just don't have the funds to do so right now. Who knows man, I hope Barrack Obama knows what he's doing and gets this country back on its feet.

Yeah I believe the average American is in about a $50,000 debt right? I think you guys are more capitalism FTW than we are, but more and more people have been getting themselves in financial trouble as well here by taking loans they can hardly pay back.

Indeed I hope Obama can get you guys back on your feet. If things are going well in America, things will go better in Europe as well.

My town has a minor light show in a park where you can walk around, but to the north there is a huge light festival where you drive through the park and look at the lights. You can also get out and walk around, carriage rides, see Santa, etc.

It's a silly little subject about art which isn't even that related to my minor program, but they still had some EC they had to fill in so they thought they'd add it.

Only filler subjects I had so far are some seminars. I have to do a presentation for those, but usually they shouldn't be longer than 20 minutes, so I don't have to work too hard for that.

Normally I have to read much bigger books, but there are usually summaries of courses available which save shitloads of time.

Summaries would be nice, but there aren't any "official" ones. Only summaries made by other students from a previous semester.

Well, it depends on what kind of things you would like to do with a computer. If you want to create and program software, working with programming languages then that career is for you.
Computer design involves a lot of imagination, in my opinion. If you want to design hardware and machines, using your skills and imagination then that career is for you.
If you want to work with hardware, a little more than software, then computer networking it's for you.

Gahh idk they all sound tempting. I'm going to have to take my core classes first and really think about it. Design sounds ideal but I'm not sure if I have enough art creativity in me or now. I mean how does one even know?

You know? I'm alright. I don't have any problem with this addiction. I'm just seeing blocks falling each time I close my eyes and when I'm trying to sleep, but it's nothing to worry about.

Watch this progress and your entire kitchen and bathroom appliances start lining up into blocks XD I suppose this could make you pretty creative at parking your car over time as well.

Why sell your Xbox360? You said nothing was wrong with it so why(unless you needed some cash). What I don't get is that you pay for live on XBox but not for PS3. And better online services? Care to explain that a bit more?

PS3 - it's free for online gaming, plus the graphics are better and the console doesn't break, as XBoxes are designed to do. One vent passes hot air straight over a few solder spots, which get damaged by the heat over about 18 months, so generally they burn out just after your warranty has expired.

I hear more about the Xbox breaking down then anything. Some my friends have gotten the "red ring of death". So a other reason to favor the PS3 in sense of having a longer life then the Xbox. Do you have the PS3 Coop? If so is it true like SeeD said do you always get a update for the PS3 while online

Wade and the NG staff 'claimed' that they discovered a glitch in the whistle system that made it where the person with the highest whistle power weakened everyone elses whistle power whenever they gained whistle points so they changed it from a sliding scale to a fixed scale so that anyone who had enough whistle points could have a deity whistle.

On that day it really sucked to be me >_< in a way.

Also you must have had at least a silver whistle because if you had a normal whistle you would still be at that unless you had flagged up some abusive reviews while you were active, and wade and the review mods deleted them at the same time the whistle system changed.

Interesting. I tested the beta months before it came out and honestly thought it sucked. Now all my friends that were against halo are like totally into it now that Reach came out.

I've seen both the startup screens though and I like the xbox live GUI a lot better than sony's personally.

Well my whistle was deity when I left, and it's still deity...that's all I know...

Growing forests over your lands?

I think that Collins is a good songwriter and a better drummer, though I wouldn't say that his singing is iconic.

Indeed he isn't.

Exactly - we love "In the Air Tonight", because of the drums, not because of his singing. In fact, Genesis was a good band, then Peter Gabriel left to do his own stuff (Sledgehammer rocks!) and Collins messed it up.

The former one was Gordon Brown right? I thought the UK'ers were quite happy when Tony Blair was not their prime minister anymore, but I suppose Gordon Brown didn't do a much better job either then.

Gordon Brown was a brilliant Chancellor. The problem was, he was a poor leader. It's sad, but this is what accountancy does to people.

PS3 - it's free for online gaming, plus the graphics are better and the console doesn't break, as XBoxes are designed to do. One vent passes hot air straight over a few solder spots, which get damaged by the heat over about 18 months, so generally they burn out just after your warranty has expired.

I hear more about the Xbox breaking down then anything. Some my friends have gotten the "red ring of death". So a other reason to favor the PS3 in sense of having a longer life then the Xbox. Do you have the PS3 Coop? If so is it true like SeeD said do you always get a update for the PS3 while online

I don't have one myself, but I have friends with XBoxes and PS3s, so I'm qualified to talk about it.

As for the PS3, he does get updates, but they aren't all the time. I'd take that as a necessary evil to avoid red ringing at any date.

Yeah, Duke Nukem 3D is on the PS1. Not sure if it's censored, though but as long as I can play it I'll be happy.

Probably not. I'd say Nintendo is about the only company that would censor mature games.

Yeah, Nintendo was very strict on censorship. Who knows what the PS1 version will be like. I'll just have to pick it up and see for myself.

I have Vista. D:

Sucks to be you :(

Yeah but what can you do?

Hell fucking no. The current prime minister is pretty much doing everything to bite the lower and middle class in the ass and let the upper class get away with everything. The previous prime minister didn't do a good job with his role either.

The former one was Gordon Brown right? I thought the UK'ers were quite happy when Tony Blair was not their prime minister anymore, but I suppose Gordon Brown didn't do a much better job either then.

It was one bad prime minister to another. Infact, I reckon Tony Blair saw the recession coming so he resigned from his position as soon as he could and left Gordon Brown as a scapegoat. Even with that, though, Gordon Brown still did a shoddy job at taking care of the whole country.

Yeah it is indeed. By the way, there's no chance you'd like a Series 2 supply crate in exchange for Ze Goggles/a Medic token/Refined Metal if you have/can get them is there? I really, REALLY want that hat.

Crates shouldn't be worth too much. Only the minority of crates have the described hats and only a very slight portion of them have unusual hats. I could make a Medic token for you if I get enough Medic items to craft. That and a reclaimed metal?

Fun fact: This is actually the second time I've recovered my Deity whistle after a glitch. The other glitch was from flagging art reviews back in January. Yeah, out of everything I did, I lost my whistle from flagging art reviews. That glitch is long gone but it's still a funny thought.

Initially I had to do a presentation for this as well, but they decided they're just gonna give an exam about the book. The lectures serve no real purpose other than giving some extra explanation.

As expected, the book is filled with stuff I'll never need to know -.-'

Normally I have to read much bigger books, but there are usually summaries of courses available which save shitloads of time.

Summaries would be nice, but there aren't any "official" ones. Only summaries made by other students from a previous semester.

Some clever student at my studies was kind enough to write summaries about every course I have in my major program and put them online. Some of them aren't that well written, but they've helped me get through most exams without having to spend dozens of hours following lectures, studying books etc..

It was some French girl who thought she could fly and she jumped off a bridge. I don't know what she had been taking.

Yeah I believe the average American is in about a $50,000 debt right? I think you guys are more capitalism FTW than we are, but more and more people have been getting themselves in financial trouble as well here by taking loans they can hardly pay back.

Yeah, myself included. It's like an endless cycle here though, you don't have enough money to live so you take out a loan. Well, with the way unemployment is over here, you can't make the payments on the loans so you're just kinda stuck in debt. I'm a textbook example. I can't find a job so what am I going to do? Take out a loan for school so I can get a job, lol. I mean, I'll be in debt really bad for the time being, but I have hopes of paying everything off when I can get a good job *prays*

Being stuck in a downward spiral I guess. Well hopefully you'll get a good job after college then.

Indeed I hope Obama can get you guys back on your feet. If things are going well in America, things will go better in Europe as well.

I don't follow politics much either, so I'm just hoping he knows what he's doing.

I'm not following American politics that much, but I try to keep up with what's going on here. Especially now that we're getting a new government soon, which has presented its plans not too long ago.

In the Air Tonight is about the only song from Phil Collins I like.

I'm not too familiar with Genesis' history, but I know Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins have had several hits after they left. Still for the quality of their music it might have been better if they stayed together. I think that applies to almost any band that has split up by the way.

Yep. I hope it's the original for you. The censored version didn't have music either, which was too bad. On the bright side, you can put up some heavy metal as background music while playing the game.

360 for multiple reasons:

1. Halo.

"Halo: Reach around wouldn't be a good game" </stupid joke>
PS3 has GoW.

2. Ps3 likes to do HUGE fucking updates constantly. I have 2 buddies with these things and every time we even think about playing online we have to do a massive update that takes like an hour. This happens all the time. I've never once had this happen on xbox in 3 years.

Right. Because a system that never updates is far superior to a system that is kept up to date constantly.
Seriously, your friends should just check if there's a new update aviable and install it during the day. >_>

3. Everybody I've played on ps3 also has really noobish gamertags like they don't play games that often, and I mean they're really bad. On ps3 you find BobTiger23 and JoeysCool3423 and that's like EVERY player. On the 360 almost every gamer has a cool and creative gamertag.

Right again. On XBox Live you have cool gamertags like "HaloFanBoy51" or "SteveIsMyGod". o_O

4. At least in CoD WaW, everybody on the ps3 sucks. When I played I won every game even though it was my first time even using a ps3 controller to play. Xbox seems to have much more skilled players, and I'm not kidding about this. It's really a huge difference.

Never played online on an Xbox, don't know how skilled the players are in different games.

Nice. I frequent a forum that was set up by some students. Lots of material there as well.
Also, in all my informatics lectures I can get some very nice scripts. But in the economics lectures profs are always very hesitating if it comes to giving out stuff for free. Most expect the students to buy the scripts at a copy shop. Lame.
