I was unaware of a time that they removed that because I wasn't active then. What's the story with that? I had a normal whistle for a year? lol

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.

lol yeah, my birthday last year was 09/09/09 =)

Can't argue there Halo is awesome. Played all of them except Reach which I hear from friends stink.

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 can't really comment on it because I never got a chance to play the actual release, but I know they changed a lot from the beta.

I am unaware of that. Maybe it was just them but I would like more input on this part from other people.

Yeah, idk man. I've seen 2 different ps3's do it and it's just irritating as hell. I don't want to wait an hour I want to play my game now, lol.

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?

lol, I was in a position where I needed cash like you said. Not sure why xbox charges and sony doesn't. I've seen both the startup screens though and I like the xbox live GUI a lot better than sony's personally. This is all just my opinion from what I've experienced personally though, definitely not trying to start a game system war or anything. I don't even own an xbox anymore, lol.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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.

Apparently the animators nearly walked out over this. I find that incredibly hypocritical, considering that they lampoon pretty much every other aspect of life, that they should get a sense of humour, or some new animators.

I literally laughed out loud at this.

Story time:

I remembered I used to have a cricket sound in my cellphone when I was in High school. I'll never forget one day a teacher asked to us who wanted to read to the class a long paragraph that was in our books. Nobody raised a hand and nobody said something for 5 seconds... then "My cricket" started to do its sound, making everybody starting to burst in laugh, including my teacher :P

Heh. I wonder how much stuff I have already learned that I will never need to know again.

About half of my high school subjects were pretty useless for me now that I think about it :p

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..

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.

I suppose that's what they call readers here. We usually have to buy them, but sometimes they'll put them online. And sometimes they'll just contain lecture slides which can be found online anyway, so they're a big waste of money.

Lol. I don't know how the girls are where you live, but over here they usually aren't that stupid :p

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

Only time will tell. 4 years of hittin the books...and newgrounds I suppose ;) I'm psyched about getting student loans because that means I'll have a laptop. Can't. Fucking. Wait.

You'll get a new laptop? Awesome! I had to buy one myself.

Anyway, 4 years of hitting the books isn't so bad. You'll probably find that your college time is the best time of your life.

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.

A new government? lolwut.

Yeah you know...

We had elections last June and some party won and then they should look for parties they want to work together with so that they can get the majority. With that majority they can get their new plans through (they hope).

It works different here than in America.

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.

True, though Bruce Dickinson's solo work is great stuff, I'm glad he's back where he belongs (Not quite as "Maiden" as Steve Harris, but getting there!)

He has done solo work? I thought he was always there with Maiden.

I am now a Level 28 user.

I sure appreciate my parents for telling me they'd be able to pick me up from work yet when it was time to go home, they were all the way in fucking Liverpool!

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.

Damn, and I hear some Duke Nukem games sample Megadeth. Well, maybe the 2D games. I don't know about Duke Nukem 3D.

Yeah but what can you do?

Get windows 7 to make your life suck less? :p

Money.

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.

Well it is hard for a politician to make himself popular in bad times of course, but they can still 'do the right thing' and I suppose Gordon Brown didn't do that.

I can't recall a single good thing Gordon Brown did. Hell, the tories have managed to do two good things ever since they took over. However, they're still raping the country up the ass and the good doesn't excuse them.

Apparently the animators nearly walked out over this. I find that incredibly hypocritical, considering that they lampoon pretty much every other aspect of life, that they should get a sense of humour, or some new animators.

The keyword is nearly so they didn't walk out on it in the end but it's understandable to be concerned about it.

I'm not after any forests around here. Just my dark cave will do. :D

Tree roots can penetrate the ceiling of your dark cave, causing unnecessary cave-ins. Have you notified your insurer?

Trust me, where I am there are no tree roots.

sixflab already mentioned it, but I meant God of War, which is PS exclusive.

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. >_>

lol well in all fairness they don't play games often, but it's still really inconvenient when it takes an hour to update...

Yeah, I know. I don't play too often as well (and I also forget to check for updates) so often I think: "Hey, let's play XYZ!" and then I have to update first. ^^

Right again. On XBox Live you have cool gamertags like "HaloFanBoy51" or "SteveIsMyGod". o_O
Never played online on an Xbox, don't know how skilled the players are in different games.

Exactly, you've never played online with an xbox, so your opinion would be biased. I've played on both systems =)

Well, that's why it's called an "opinion" because it's biased. :P
I was just trying to say that you have 13 year old kids who think they are "cool" on both systems, so you have lame gamertags on both systems. That's six of one and half a dozen of another.

I can get the slides for free (but they are protected by a password) but anything more than that I have to pay for. And most of the time they want us to buy some lame ass book that often costs 100 Euro and more. But I only buy books if they don't cost more than 30-35 Euro.

If you're interested in some of the content of the playable demo (yeah a demo, holy crap) have a look at this. There's nothing I'd class as spoilers per se, but it seems to be exactly what we'd expect of ol' Duke.
