Good luck with that.

And as per usual, we suffered a loss. 10 wicket defeat, we just couldn't get them out. I don't expect you to understand, that's mostly for gamejunkie.

Criket reminds me a bit of Quizzlestick, but Quizzlestick isn't as confusing. So, why don't you just bowl the secret "points swap around bowl" when you are about to lose?

I wish that we had the chance to do that, but being English, we just don't come up with rules as insane as that.

Sorry, but I believe otherwise. After all, you drive on the wrong side of the road!

But you know what they say - That's Numberwang!

Shit just got real.

Yeah, but for ManCity is new. Even in Germany we know what "Fergie time" means. ;)

Fergie time, isn't that when David Beckham gets hit in the face with a football boot that Fergie has just kicked across the dressing room at him?

Not quite, even though that must have looked hilarious.

Well, we only saw Beckham with a couple of sterrastrips across his eyebrow and The Sun went ape about how Fergie was a terrible cunt and so forth.

What I meant was: Must have been interesting to watch that in the changing room. Also, I thought Fergie IS a terrible cunt?

Worst of all, when the whole team gathers around the ref. This is what Fergie complained about. Funny, because if you do a little research on google images then you can find pictures of United players doing the exact same thing. Even though Alex said that United players wouldn't do something like it.

Also: Everton 1-0 United. LOL!

I was around at a Utd fan's home on Monday night. not a fun atmosphere... not until we cracked out the D&D.

Ugh, that reminds me of the LITERAL translation of the name "Dungeons & Dragons" on that one Simpsons episode (the one where Homer is back in College). That's even worse than those incidences where they translated "to swear" in the meaning of "to swear an oath" and not in the meaning of "swear words". Yes, "I never swear" CAN mean "I never swear an oath", but it doesn't make too much sense...

So, how long until the next summer games? Oh right, 4 years...

Yeah, we need to focus on Sochi 2014 now ;)

Well, at least "Sochi" is easier to pronounce than "Pyeongchang".

"Puh-yong-chang" Simple, right?

And now do it in a voice like this.
"Pyeongggggg Channggggg!"

Well, I will resort to it if shit does get really stupid. For some odd reason, Metalocalypse season 3 DVD has gone out of stock entirely for region 2. That really makes no sense at all.

Only solution is to set your DVD player to Region 0.

Or get a region 0 DVD Player. Problems solved for all. My friend had to get a region 0 DVD Player due to all the stuff he was getting that wasn't available in region 2. Meh, the region locking bullshit never made sense to begin with and Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves for being more tight on it. Sony on the other hand, region free for most games!

Most DVD players should have the option to set them to Region 0. But most of the time, this option is not explained in the manual. You could try to google a solution.
Also, region codes are just lame. They where invented because cinema owners started whining about how people might import DVDs before the cinemas even got a chance to show the movie... but in reality, not too many people import DVDs anyway. And because of high shipping costs (and long waiting times) it might actually be cheaper to just go to the cinema anyway.
And I think Sony wants to bring back region codes for newer games and/or the PS4. Lame, I say.

As for Clock Day, I was hanging out with my friends instead of staying home for it so I missed out on most of it. No saves were claimed that day either.

I guess I was trying out the Co-Op mode in TF2. Pretty fun, but forgetting Clock Day was shameful!

Hmm... I can see me getting some medals shortly... brb...

I can't stand Mirrodin or any of the other Phyrexia etc decks. Ruined afternoons for me, that did...

I can see why you don't like the Phyrexia engine Magic was using but at least that's going to be rotated out. The most you have to worry about Innistrad's engines is transformation cards. I don't use any transformation creatures myself but I like how they work.

I might have liked that, had I been around enough to get the cards when they were available and in vogue. I'm spending all of my money on cricket atm, so not exactly rolling in it...

What I meant was: Must have been interesting to watch that in the changing room. Also, I thought Fergie IS a terrible cunt?

I wouldn't know - I've never met the guy.

Whenever I see him I think "Oh wow, what a cunt!" so he probably is one.

Good manager, not necessarily a nice person.

And now do it in a voice like this.
"Pyeongggggg Channggggg!"

?!?!

There's a link behind "like this": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U1nuzn_A_Y

I think I need my brain flushing out now...

Well, you'll pass if you say "The English are just being cunts to most of South America" ;) What with the Falklands, or Las Malvinas and Julian Assange and anything else that can be thrown at us. Something will stick.

Ah, nowadays' subjects... Always good to have a discussion on. I guess the general agreement on the Malvinas thing is that Argentina is making an enormous unnecessary fuzz about it that should have never started whatsoever. Nationalist politics. The bastards!

I'm sure that getting Hollywood celebrities to wade in has helped their cause so much!

And Assange should suffer some kind of "accident" soon enough.

I'm sure he would, if he would just leave the embassy ;)

Worcester Warriors? :P

No, the Warriors are my Rugby Union team, that I support. Cookley Cricket Club is my local village team, that I play for and do a hell of a lot for, besides.

Aside from only playing? Such as administrative stuff?

Yeah, I do the scoring for the Saturday league second team (though I did it for the first team today - rained out) and arrange meetings, talk to the representatives of the playing fields association, whom we rent the pitch off of, that sort of thing.

Eh? I could swear that the NG forums supported umlauts. Anyway, that was "Motley Crue", and the following one was "umlauts" with an umlaut whenever it fit (everywhere).

I just pictured it as one hellish scream of feedback. So I was half right :P

You passed 15,000 Experience Points. Good job!

35000 total stats

Also, I don't remember whether I posted about being in the top 3,333 exp rankings. But I'm there.
