Ah yes, necessity is the mother of invention even if you have to manufacture it.

Very true. A lot of inventions were born that way. Makes sense since that's when people are probably prepared to invest the most in the development and it will certainly attract customers.

That goes for about any fast food restaurant. Can't say I'm impressed by what they sell at Burger King either :p

They are a lot better than McD's. I'd pick BK over McDonalds when I have to chose where to eat for the reason at least it looks like a burger instead of some processed meat product in the shape of a burger.

Burger King Burgers don't look a lot like meat to me either. Then again, I don't eat there often and I haven't studied their burgers closely yet.

Out of the 'big three' (KFC, Mc and Burger King), I personally think KFC sells the best quality food. Or at least, on the outside it looks like I'm eating real chicken. I'm guessing there's still a lot of crap in it though.

I think the right sauce and some unions and pickles will add plenty of flavor to do the trick.

Yeah hold the onions; I don't care much for them especially if they are uncooked. Nope just lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, burger, and condiments is fine for me.

They're best when they're baked in my opinion and I love them. They add great taste to anything ^^

If I'm in the mood add a couple slices of bacon.

Americans and their bacon... it seems to me like you guys put bacon on anything :p

Lol!

They do a fairly good job at imitating a Dutch pronounciation, but at some points they sound more German or Russian to me :p

That's always a mark of quality, when a Dutchman approves of an Englishman's impression :P

Well in most cases they simply adjust to a German accent whenever they're trying to pretend they're Dutch. E.g.: 'Goldmember' in Austin Powers 3 is supposed to be Dutch, but he keeps making 'sch' sounds if I remember correctly. That's typically German.

Now don't say Dutch and German are alike! ;)

Yeah you can. That has always been the way I did it.

Heh, never even knew that was possible.

Well I think technically you can finish the temples in any order you like since you can just get the weapon and then get out of the temples. The only thing is that the Kakariko event might not be triggered before you beat the Water Temple, but I'm not sure. I'll have to go and check that someday.

I know the event at Kakariko Village is triggered as soon as you complete the Water Temple, but you don't have to return there straight away of course and you do not need the Hover Boots to complete the Spirit Temple.

I actually find the Hover Boots to help in the Spirit Temple.

They do. There are a number of places which are hard to reach without the hover boots. But, you do not HAVE TO use them. You can get through the temple without.

The game is a bit vague about what the order should be. The medaillions are lined up in such a way that the Spirit Temple comes before the Shadow Temple, but Sheik first says the Shadow Temple before she mentions the Spirit Temple.

Yeah, I noticed the melodies show the spirit melody before the shadow one so that would explain something.

Oh yes, that's another thing. Again, the game is a bit vague about it and I just happened to discover the desert area before I returned to Kakariko Village.

Well that's always been sort of a "hey I'm not completely gone" thing to me, so that Cloud can have peace with her death and all.

Eh, could have been worse.

FFX.

Lol, you mean FFX-II? :p

Can't remember who that was again. Is he part of the sidestory with Red XIII?

No, it was part of the main storyline.

Was it not the part in which Red XIII learned about who his father really was and found a statue of him at the backside of the village?

You passed 11000 Saves. Way to go!

Also, linkage time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reeperbahn

We don't have many CDs so that won't be necessary I think. We just need some space for all her books. Being an English student, she has a shitton of stuff to read =/

Then Billy is your friend. There are Billy shelves in various sizes, we have one very large shelf and one that's about 1m high and about 1,20m wide.

Yeah I think you can also buy several differents ones and just combine them into one huge bookshelf. That's what we're probably gonna do. Also, I think I'll fix a few planks to the walls in the living room so that I can store my DVDs there. They look much better in a living room.

That's what we did. All the stuff you can use to "impress" people (ie brag about all the cool stuff you have) is in the living room. ^^

Also I just noticed that the german wikipedia article for Billy is much longer than the swedish one. ^^

Lol. I like how they added a history section. I'm sure that's really useful to a lot of people :p

I didn't even know that there had been an incident with Formaldehyde. You learn something new every day!

So what does EKTORP mean then? My gf read on some forum that it means 'anus' in Swedish. We don't really believe it though, sounds too stupid as a name for a couch.

Google translator suggest that "Ek torp" means "oak cottage". Hmm..
Also, wtf? I chose "translate from 'Swedish' to 'German'" and suggests "oak cottage" as a german translation? Yes, he really did suggest "oak cottage", not "Eichenhütte" as it would be correct.
I then tried to translate "oak cottage" from english to german, but he again simply came up with "oak cottage". Lol.

Conclusion: Translators suck and will seldom translate anything correctly.

But they are much better now than they used to be!

Damn those long waiting times.

One hour isn't really that long on an airport.

I don't know. I've been to two airports, but have never flown in a commercial airplane, let alone having to switch aircrafts halfway in my journey. But yeah, one hour doesn't sound bad compared to all the stories I sometimes hear and read about people having to wait at least four hours or more.

On our last trip to scotland we had to wait 5 hours for our connection flight. :/

I know some people know everything about the royal family and constantly keep themselves up to date with what they do (royalty experts), but quite frankly I do not give a single crap about them.

I sometimes think the royal families only exist so that some people can work as "royalty experts". I have even seen a "billionaires expert" on TV once. :/

And the Water Temple has the Longshot which is needed for the Shadow Temple. Hopefully for the remake they can work out with allowing you to clear the temples in any order.

Well you need the bow for about everything so the Forest Temple should always go first. Indeed the Longshot is also needed for the last two temples. I don't see how they could change anything there. They could allow you to freely choose in which order to do the Fire, Spirit and Shadow Temple though.

Lol, you mean FFX-II? :p

No, I mean FFX for its ending. It's vague at best and only made you want a sequel. Not a good idea at all.

You mean the whole thing with Tidus being 'just a dream'? It's an interesting concept, but I think it simply wasn't worked out that well. It might've been better if they left it out.

Was it not the part in which Red XIII learned about who his father really was and found a statue of him at the backside of the village?

Yeah, the boss is right before that.

Oh yes. I checked youtube to refresh my memory. I remember an easy boss was nice there, because the whole dungeon that came before it was very tough to get through. There was some kind of enemy that could completely rape your party with one attack.

It won't be too pronounced if you keep it in low quantities. Whenever we make a pasta sauce or a soup, we almost always start with baking some onions. And some garlic too. You won't really taste it, but without those two I find that the sauce/soup just doesn't have an awful lot of flavor.

I don't really like salads, so I'll pass. As for bacon in general, I eat so little of it that I can't even recall how it tastes. I can imagine I might find it a nice addition on some things though, but it's not very normal and common here.

Alright deal. Now we wait five to ten years from now.

With my current future plans, Haggard's gonna lose this one :p

Ha, it's still being referred to as the shitblade. Love it.

And it always will, unless the NG staff take it out from the redesign. I'm hoping more that they take out the cupid since I dread looking at that awful icon for over 100 days. I'm thinking of installing a script to replace 49G icon with something else. That's how bad it is.

lol Fagamut would love that.

Fagamut is only 2 deposits behind me, so he literally IS on my ass! Uncomfortable...

That's Fagamut for you.

Though I imagine that Fagamut and several of your other alts may pass me if I keep up my recent shoddy depositing habits.

Yeah, S-k-y just passed you. However, there will be a point where the S-k-y, Fagamut and EmoDragon trio retire and they'll all stop sometime before level 50.

Funny you mention that now. Today was meant to be my last day there but they've managed to get the funds to keep me on but only for Thursdays and Fridays and the job is still temporary. I'm guessing I'll last until the end of the school year, unless I find another job beforehand.

Well, 2 days a week is better than unemployment. At least it'll keep you ticking over until you can find something more permanent, right?

Of course, I'm happy I'm staying on even for a few days a week.

I don't know, but I think he said he loved the album just for that intro.

I'm pretty sure it's Rhapsody, most likely Symphony of Enchanted Lands II, Triumph or Agony or The Frozen Tears of Angels.

And the Water Temple has the Longshot which is needed for the Shadow Temple. Hopefully for the remake they can work out with allowing you to clear the temples in any order.

Well you need the bow for about everything so the Forest Temple should always go first. Indeed the Longshot is also needed for the last two temples. I don't see how they could change anything there. They could allow you to freely choose in which order to do the Fire, Spirit and Shadow Temple though.

Which is why I think they should make that possible on the 3DS remake.

No, I mean FFX for its ending. It's vague at best and only made you want a sequel. Not a good idea at all.

You mean the whole thing with Tidus being 'just a dream'? It's an interesting concept, but I think it simply wasn't worked out that well. It might've been better if they left it out.

I wasn't talking about that, I'm referring to the part where you see Tidus reaching the surface and ends all of sudden.

There was some kind of enemy that could completely rape your party with one attack.

Yep, it was a huge spider. Hell, that should have been the boss in the cave.

I'm more concerned about my wisdom teeth. They're such a fucking nuisance.

Ah, that's a problem - you're better seeing someone about them and getting them sorted if anything needs doing, rather than letting the situation go bad. Trust me.

Americanisms were never my area of expertise :(

It's only practice.

Anyway, yes, we're doing well and Sunday could really give us a great shot in the arm, if we can make up for the shite we played last year. Let's get the Calcutta cup back!

I'll be surprised and angered if we don't give Scotland a damn good thrashing. Let's just hope that the 2 weeks since our previous game has been spent productively...

You're too young to remember 1990, aren't you. We only had to turn up to win and we lost at Murrayfield. It's not an open and shut case, as the Scots always up their game.

I'm still confident, but wary of the opposition.

No, it's just my underpants are a little tight."

Also, why should I bow to you, I've got a bad back.

Indeed. I don't think they're liked very much amongst critics, but almost everybody I know finds them hilarious. They're great stuff for movie marathons.

I was stuck for something to do tonight, but now I'm sorted. Police Academy, it is!

Well in most cases they simply adjust to a German accent whenever they're trying to pretend they're Dutch. E.g.: 'Goldmember' in Austin Powers 3 is supposed to be Dutch, but he keeps making 'sch' sounds if I remember correctly. That's typically German.

Now don't say Dutch and German are alike! ;)

Dutch has more in common with German than English :P

I can't deny that, but there's still a huge difference. Saying German and Dutch are alike is like saying Irish and British are alike.

So, you're telling me that French and Belgian are different languages, is that what you're getting at?

What I can remember from it was that it was a random story with 'Thunderous clouds that gathered above the lands' and stuff like that.

They'd have to take out all those eye-switches in the later temples then. Or make sure you can get the bow from elsewhere.

I can't recall that, but yeah... that sounds like a typical 'let's make an excuse for a sequel'-ending.

Yep, it was a huge spider. Hell, that should have been the boss in the cave.

And if I'm not mistaken, you had to battle one every time you ended up in one of those spiderwebs.

I was always under the impression that that series stopped being funny after the first one. And apparently there is an 8th Police Academy movie in the making 0.0

So, you're telling me that French and Belgian are different languages, is that what you're getting at?

If it's as alike as Flemish and Dutch: Yes, definitely! Belgian is a language on its own.

Next milestones gained 36,000 B/P and 750 in Exp. Neither of which are really a big deal though.

They have burgers at KFCs over there? Interesting.
A couple of days a do I remembered our convo and decided to get some chicken strips and a side of mash potatoes there for lunch.

It won't be too pronounced if you keep it in low quantities. Whenever we make a pasta sauce or a soup, we almost always start with baking some onions. And some garlic too. You won't really taste it, but without those two I find that the sauce/soup just doesn't have an awful lot of flavor.

Eh, I still don't care for it. I don't even like onion rings. I guess I don't find eating onions appealing. Although I do enjoy French onion dip on occasion.

I don't really like salads, so I'll pass. As for bacon in general, I eat so little of it that I can't even recall how it tastes. I can imagine I might find it a nice addition on some things though, but it's not very normal and common here.

Not every common you say. Are there not to many pork products there?

With my current future plans, Haggard's gonna lose this one :p

So you're not going to have kids and marry?
