I was kinda wondering why I hadn't heard any bitching about that gambling hall until now. It's a game for kids after all.

I blame some soccer mom in America.

My reason would be because he's damn awesome. However, having higher stats than Dragonite IS strange. Dragonite looks more legendary than Arcanine.

No he's stats are NOT higher than Dragonite / Tyranitar etc. and that's why I think it's strange that Arcanine has such an uber status.

Could have sworn Arcanine was in the 600s.

Do you have the original DS by any chance? Those models seem to have problems connecting to secured wireless.

I guess it's the original, but I'm just borrowing one. It's no big deal that I can't connect to the internet though. I'm fine with playing through the main story without all that online stuff.

Yeah, the original DS has some issues with connecting to the internet. The 3DS should be much better. And yes, I may as well wait for a 3DS rather than 'upgrading' my DS.

You haven't heard any of us sing. :P

That's right. But you can't be any worse than me.

I'm sure we can beat you.

That's why I'm asking: Why do you say the lyrics on St. Anger are bad while at the same time you say Manowar's lyrics are good?

At this point nothing is going to convince to you.

Who said you had to listen to it? At least you'll have an album released.

But I rather release an album with actual music on it.

I'd still reward myself for releasing an album in my lifetime.

Not if it's a huge one. :P

I've never seen a roundabout with traffic lights... can you show it on google street view? ^^

Can't get the exact point but have a look at junction 4.

We could start a project and get recordings from vacuum cleaners from all over the world, then we release a CD and if someone wants to interview us, we get all philosphical about how vacuum cleaners in Mexico sound different from cleaners in France and that those different sounds reflect different lifestyles.

Nah, she would have hatched by now. We live long so I can't exactly date a dragon who only hatched yesterday. :P

But if you live a long time, 20 years is hardly anything. That was the gap between my grandfather and grandmother and it didn't do them any harm.

Sixways (Junction 6 on the M5) is the same. Traffic gets really bad around there on match days, since the rugby club is just off that junction. Half 2, until half 5, expect an extra hour on your journey time, unless you can avoid that part of the world. Even with the traffic lights, it's horrendous, because all of the parking facilities get filled and as a result, people abandon cars at the sides of the roads.

I don't know if it's true, but I read somewhere that Hamburg is (one of) the greenest city in Europe.
Plus, we live very close to the federal state border and there's a huge forest and some fields nearby.

Sounds like a pretty nice place then. Personally I'd rather live in such an area than in the center of the city. Of course you have to travel for a while to get to places, but at least there's more quietness around you.

14FPS? I guess that goes with a lot of lagging as well? Personally I can't stand playing games that way.

Lagging not so much, except for when I try to play in the battle net while I'm at the uni. XD
But I guess the low FPS is also because I start it under Linux/Unix and I have to use wine (<- that's a link ;) ) to run it.

Oh hey link warning :p *Checks back*

I can imagine running it that way would slow down the program drastically.

Bummer. I'm glad my eyes have always been good. Can't say the same about my hearing though.

My hearing is all right and when I was at your age, my eyes where fine too. :P

Well late twenties is usually the time at which you'll literally 'start to grow old'. I just hope my eyes won't start failing me so soon.

Good thing he agreed with it. Paying double rent is just a huge waste of money, but now I guess you gotta put up with your noisy neighbours for another month.

If I got that right then the people living there right now have a contract until 2012, so they just move a month later and the landlord doesn't have one month where he doesn't recieve any rent at all.

Good that everybody is prepared to cooperate.

Same here, but I guess the vibrating could wake you up if you're not such a heavy sleeper.

Problem is that I completly miss the vibration most of the time. Even when the phone is in my trouser's pockets.

Happens to me as well, but my cellphone might not work so well anymore. I know the battery is starting to suffer from degredation at this point. Even if there's still 3/4 blocks left, I can't even make a 30 minute call anymore =/

Lol, that's usually our main dish when I'm on vacation with some friends :p It's simple and easy to prepare and tastes nice too.

Plus you can mix it with a lot of stuff. Broccoli, bacon bits, sujuk (it's some kind of turkish sausage. It tastes great!)...

Usually we buy peas and a steak with it, and some apple sauce and mayonaisse :p But mixing it with some more stuff sounds like a good idea. I'm sure that with some simple ingredients you could make something even better out of it. I should try next time.

You even forgot the: 'If no-one else can help you' after the first if :p

Way too many if's...

Yeah, it's hard to think of a situation in which you can actually hire them :p

Yes, I never saw the benefit of having a crappy camera installed so that you can take lame pictures of yourself. It might appeal to some kids, but it's a pointless feature to us and it shouldn't be there at the cost of other things (such as the GBA slot).
