Your views on having close friends of the opposite sex?
I barely have friends let alone close ones and - god forbid - ones of the opposite gender. How do you do it guys? How I mine for friends? People got weirded out when I began blaring the Spice Girls from my mp3 player today.

around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world around the world? I see what you did there. Id have to say my favourites of theirs would be Robot Rock (even if only for the drum intro), HBFS and Da Funk. What is so enchanting about repeating a single phrase for 3 minutes that makes them so appealing?

Left 4 Dead
Ive had her spawn in the only train carriage that you actually have to go through. So not only was there no way around her, there was also no cover or anywhere to run to. It was a case of shoot her and hope she dove onto one of my team mates. But she sort of just went BLARGH and ran out the other side. Many lol wut were to be had. Unfortunately we went out of the frying pan and straight into a tank which cornered us all. NOT AS PLANNED. Haha, ive done this before. My group of - what id imagine were - new players had finally reached the exit and they were all shouting at me to get in but all I said was "NO" and blew their face off with my rifle. Needless to say they werent too pleased, but I found it rather amusing.

Barihawk's Left 4 Dead guide
I concur. Boomers also have very little health and often die just from the general barrage of bullets anyway. I have been ripped and torn by a hunter far more than boomers have caused me a problem. I hope for a better lobby system. Just having "Ok, I play expert, throw me into a game" is kinda annoying since I cant check anything about it before hand. And Zoey is meh. Which is irritating because no one I know is getting this game. So im stuck with "Hey guys im gonna shoot the car ok" and RAGE.

Guess the Game
Its a Hitman game. Which one, though, I cant decipher. The latest, I think. Contracts?

Left 4 Dead
Yep. But of the 3 times I have, ive only ever run into a single tank. So maybe its just the figures dont match up, since ive had less encounters ive therefore had less failures, but I really didnt find him too taxing. Like I said, it really depends on your surroundings when you do bump into one. But ive always found witches to be overly angsty.

Worst shows on TV?
OH NO YOU LE DIDNT. But I suppose you have a point. If youre watching animu on TV it must be some horrible dub of Bebop, GITS, EVA or TTGL. Really? Im incredibly nerdy and I found it funny. I suppose you need to be in the right mind set for it. And im sure 90% of the jokes might have flown right over your head.

Left 4 Dead
I find tanks pretty easy, as long as you arent complete berks about it and youre not in a disadvantageous surrounding [i.e. closed space] all you need to do is make sure to keep a safe distance and pelt him with anything and everything. He makes mincemeat of anyone who has fallen at his wake, though, so its pretty much an instant death should he down anyone. Witches are just "OH GOD WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS JESUS CHRIST" and highly erratic.

Left 4 Dead
Pah, ive yet to play online since its acting up whenever I try to connect. But the AI arent quite as smart as that, they just decide to shoot her some more and agitate her to come back for a second round where the surprise is that she wins every time. Ive also found very little use of the hunting rifle, ive only used it once or twice down the subway for the entertaining POP of their heads as they fly off the shoulders they were once so attached to. And it fires too slow to be of much use in the melee where you might as well be fending off these zombies with a wet flannel. And is it just me or do the AI love jumping in front of you when you begin to fire? So many times ive blown that WarVet's brains over the zombies in front of him and yet he just keeps coming back for more. And they arent too good with dealing with a horde while im on the floor since they seem more engrossed in trying to lift me up so I can be thrown straight back down than dealing with the task at hand. But pipe bomb + large horde = huge lol.

Left 4 Dead
You know, the first time I ran into a witch I was thinking "Hmm, I wonder how scary they are? Everyone seems to think theyre pretty awful." so I be clever and (bearing in mind im playing single player so I dont wind anyone else up) I decide to shoot the crying mess on the floor. Holy jesus. [bleep] damn [cabbage] [bleep]s. Why did I do that? Not only did a small house appear under my seat after I had pulled the trigger, she'd also managed to rape my whole team into submission. Seriously. So I learn. I keep thinking that if I see a witch again, ill just leave her alone. Walk around the side, just so long as I dont startle her. And then; Very funny, Valve. Veeeery funny. So, I took the smart option: lobbed a malotov at her and legged it like the limey coward I am. It didnt work (I hadnt expected it to), but it was great to see my whole team be terrorised by a flaming, screaming banshee.

How bad is a PSP? I'm getting a DS - read last post pls
Well, bar NDS, of course. Its pretty hard to emulate touch screen without the hardware for it. Though, that said, there arent any NDS games id want to emulate. Except maybe the pokeymans but thats only because the little kid in me is bugging me to play it despite well knowing I wont like it. One thing I never understood about the PSP is the LocationFree Player. Has anyone actually used it? It seemed a good idea on paper to "watch live TV on your PSP", but when they said after that you needed this expensive little box the whole novelty just fizzled away. And there doesnt look to have been much progress on the Go!Messenger either.

I can get 10 full PSX games, I could homebrew and get just as many - if not more - Nintendo games as you mentioned or I can fit a whole season of animu and watch that. Though I dont personally homebrew, the only games id want to play on my PSP are either PSX ones which are already released or if I did, a few niche japanese games like Touhou/Melty Blood/VNs anyway. Which im not hugely bothered about.

Someone has lied to your through their teeth and possibly through another bodily orifice alot further south. If you arent a complete dunce you can make the battery last over double what youve posted. This includes; headphones + low volume, put the screen brightness down and generally using the power saving features as much as possible [turning the screen off if youre not using it, for example]. And no, the game selection doesnt compare relatively with the DS because they are - for a start - two vastly different handhelds. One being a very pretty "ooh, touch me more" dual screened something-witty and the other an mp4 media centre with more graphic intensive games. Im not going to say the DS is horrible, because you could do worse, but id still much rather have my PSP since I dont have to use it just for games if I dont particularly want to. Or even if I do, I can carry a small library of games by putting them on the memory stick. Try downloading C&C [1.8gb] through wifi then saying that. FFFF But its a lot easier to access, atleast.

Do your friends know if you play Runescape?
So, why would anyone particularly care if their friends found out they play runescape? HURR ENJOY YOUR LOW RES GRAPHICS AND GRINDAN. Theres far worse games you could be caught playing.

And theres the serve, folks. If youre watching this, youre watching one of the most brick [cabbage]ting moments set itself up. You wont see it coming and then BAM. A small house appears under your seat. Its unfortunate how much QUALITY the show has. If they had a budget beyond a few pennies and a piece of string they found in their pocket, and they bothered to atleast look through the original game, a decent animu this would be to behold. Also, sub faster Eclipse and CoalGuys/qq/whoever has picked up from gg on Toradora.

Video games that hold a special place in your heart
Battletoads Doom I & II. Bearing in mind I was about 5/6 at the time, it was the first game I really played. I had played others before it like Worms, Mortal Kombat and Johnny Storm [?] (If anyone can give me the correct name I will kiss them, it was an old DOS platformer where you had a gun, collected keys and it was awfully pink and green.) but Doom just gripped me in a way the others couldnt. Whether it was just the huge level of gore, guns and general violence - I dont know - but it was just such a fun game to play. It didnt require any finite tuning or remembering combos, levels were relatively linear and unless you missed a key you would neednt have to trawl through a whole level multiple times. Okay, it didnt have any sort of plot, but who needs a plot when youre a hardcore space marine romping through hell with 8 different guns on your back and the manliness to maul a zombie to mushy guts with a swift right hook. Though nowadays it has progressed to the state that I could probably play the first few levels blindfolded and still get 100% kills/items/secrets. I do play it quite a lot actually but on a zDoom mod which gives a Nightmare+ option and occasionally an online Skulltag match or two. Doom 3? More like Doom STUPID.

Left 4 Dead
Whaaat? I have to pre-order to try the demo? EFFFFF. I was going to base on whether to pre-order it on the demo to see if; a) my computer can handle it. (According to specs it can, but my computer is temper mental) B) Its going to be everything I want it to be. Is a pre-release demo likely to be revealed for non-pre-orderers or am I going to have to wait until its already out to try?

genius scheme
If you cant justify your choice of electromagnet yourself, I highly doubt this idea will take off. However, I believe electromagnets are only as powerful as you make them, based on number of coils and power used, so efficiency will be dependant on its use. Could be wrong, I was never very good at physics. But if you do post this little scheme of yours im sure theres plenty of people here who could steal plagiarise help.

90% of British ISPs (that I know of) throttle torrents in one way or another, mostly during peak times as you said. My old connection would allow me up to about 50kb/s during the day but past 9pm I could go way about 150. Nowadays I can get 150kb/s during the day and way about that at night. It didnt come without sacrifice, though.. If you cant read it and you dont know what SaiMOE is, you wont get a lot out of reading it. I can barely read it myself, but I understand whats going on. k. It happens.

[Please Lock] I ate a piece of glass....
While I cant say ive eaten anything particularly stupid outside of some coins, I have licked an iron after it had been on for an extended period of time and also put a cigarette lighter (those ones you get in cars) on my tongue. Neither were particularly tasty but they proved my point of them being hot. Who was I proving it to? Well, myself, mostly. But really, dont lick things. Especially hot things, they burn. Also, dont put metal covered in water in a freezer (so it freezes a thin layer) and then lick that. It just rips off a chunk of your tongue and it really hurts and bleeds more than it should. Ive got to stop testing things with my tongue. I have lost so much sense of taste I cant even remember things that taste like chicken.

The history of your forum/game name.
Cad - Im a bit of one. Bury - I have to say I do enjoy digging a good hole. Egg - I find them to be quite tasty. Nothing to do with any sort of chocolate product. The myth is busted. Though nowadays if I have to use a name its vastly different.
