Azvareth

I don't have any fancy quotes from politicians or authors or artists. This one's from a forum I frequent, and it's probably the best explanation I've read on it: -------------------------------------------------------- "[bleep] all the pop song puppy love [cabbage]. Your heart skipping a beat isn't love, it's cardiac arrhythmia. It's not about shortness of breath, either, or how turned on you get or whether you tell yourself you'd throw yourself in front of a bus for her or whatever. You can convince yourself of a lot about how you feel and what you would do in exchange for regular oral sex. Love is when she drives you insane sometimes. And I don't mean merely "aggravating" or "annoying," I mean flat-out [bleep]ing in. Sane. And in a way nobody else can do it in a million years. She'll drive you to the point where you'd gouge out your own eyeball with a melon baller or smack your scrotum a half-dozen times with a ball peen hammer if it means you can be done with this conversation. She'll make you want to chew your own arm off to get out of talking about this. And I don't care how many [bleep]ing times you've had this conversation, each time, you know you'll have it again: Her: I thought you turned the heat on. You: I did. Her: Well, I'm still cold. Are you sure you did it right? You: Yes, I'm pretty sure I know how to turn on a thermostat. Her: 'Cause you know you have to flip the switch to "heat" and.... You: Honey! I know! How to turn on! A thermostat! I went to college for it and everything. Her: Well, I don't feel any heat blowing in here. You: I know. I think you broke the thermostat again. Her: I didn't break it. You: Yes, you did, you put that halogen lamp right next to it again. Her: That doesn't do anything. You: Yes, it does. Her: I thought you fixed it? You: I did fix it, and you broke it again. Her: Are you sure you fixed it right? You: Yes, goddammit, I fixed it right. Her: How do you know you fixed it? You: 'Cause it worked when I fixed it! Her: Well, it's not working now. You: 'Cause you broke it again! Her: How'd I break it? You: You put the goddamn, [bleep]ing lamp next to it! Her: I don't see why a lamp would break a thermostat. You: OK. I'm going to explain this. One more time. Slowly. Thermostats have a coil inside them that expands and contracts based on the temperature. This is how they know when it is hotter than the setting of the A/C, so it can cool the room off, or colder than the setting of the heating, so it can heat the room up. Halogen lamps generate heat. Halogen lamps generate a lot of heat. That's why you burn your fingers when you touch the bulbs after they've been on for a while. So when you put a halogen lamp next to a thermostat, it causes the coil to keep expanding and expanding and expanding past the point it's intended to expand. This makes the thermostat think it's really, really hot all the time, and it makes the coil less sensitive in the future, and it'll eventually break the coil so I'll have to replace the thermostat. Her: That doesn't sound right. You: Trust me. It's right. Her: How do you know? You: BECAUSE I TOOK SIXTH GRADE [bleep]ING PHYSICS, OK?! Her: Well, I don't think they should make thermostats that can be broken by something little like a lamp. You: Fine. Don't think that. Write a letter to the manufacturers. Write a letter to universities and tell them to build a better thermostat. I don't [bleep]ing care. But that's how they make them. That's why I keep moving the lamp, that's why I keep telling you not to put it back to the right of the bookcase, that's why I've had to fix the thermostat four [bleep]ing times now. Stop! Putting! The lamp! Right! Next! To the thermostat! Her: But on the other side of the bookcase, the front of the hallway is dark, and I can't see inside my gift closet. You: Well, you can turn on the hall light to go through your gift closet, or you can sit here and be cold! Your choice, honey! Her: You: Her: You: Her: I don't think you fixed the thermostat right. You: GOD-MOTHER[bleep]ING-DAMMIT, I'M GOING TO FIX THAT MOTHER[bleep]ING THERMOSTAT TOMORROW, AND I SWEAR TO MOTHER[bleep]ING CHRIST IF YOU PUT THE LAMP NEAR THE THERMOSTAT AGAIN, I WILL SMASH IT TO A MILLION [bleep]ING PIECES AND SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR GODDAMN THROAT!!! MOTHER[bleep] ME, JESUS!!!!!! And if the seventh time you have that conversation, knowing full well there will be an eighth time, you'd still rather have that conversation again than imagine a world she's not in, you're in love. Especially if you do fix that thermostat... again... the next day, and not just so she'll shut up about it, but because you really don't want her to be cold anymore." -------------------------------------------------------- I have a rather huge .txt full of these gems.

Probably Deus Ex or Fallout 1/2. I've never played them but they're supposed to be excellent games.

In order to further continue this debate (and a thrilling one at that), it would require an expert's opinion; someone suitable for this sort of subject -- namely backsides of the male sort. Where's Viktor when you so promptly need him? Oh wait. Good day indeed.

I enjoyed them. They were well-made and pretty. But that's about it. I believe people when they say the books were a lot better. I read the first one, and yeah, it was better than the movie. But the thing about reading pages upon pages about a particular (but undedoubtedly a very fine) piece of pinecone isn't quite what I like to wade myself through when the rest involves mighty wizards, ravaging monsters and hairy dwarves with big axes. In that sense the movies were better, since you don't really need a brain or an interest in the Tolkien world. A lot of it is just brainless action with little content. Which is fine by me.

Whoa there! This really makes you come off as a conceited [wagon]. Just sayin. I know mate, hence my hesitation in saying so, but to be honest, I'm sick of it after a number of cases. Yeah, nothing against you or anything, but you surely you know people tend to make comments like that, not as a sign of devotion - let alone a desire to orally moisten a man's backside - but merely for the fun of it? I dunno. I just don't often see people react in such a paranoid manner to those kind of things, that's all. In fact, there usually ensues quite a bit of chuckling from all parts involved. Perhaps even a rough, yet friendly, pat on the back. Maybe I just missed something.

Gary Moore - Walking By Myself (live).

This. Most topics you see are posted at least twice a month, and will continue to. Oh dear god no. However, most of the people here fit under that age group (12-14+), so you're probably right. Sadly enough.

Well, a recent one in TF2 would be when I was a medic and I was following a soldier into the enemy base on the 2fort map, cue him dying and me taking down 3 guys before a demoman finally blows me up. Afterwards he congratulated me on my kickassery. :3

my friend has a Creative Zen, and i wouldnt suggest one. ugly, and not all that great, to big, little biiger than the ipod. Well, in addition to what Bubsa said, it also has better sound quality than that of the iPod, and the screen is brilliant for watching videos (if you're into that). I think that makes up for the fact that it's a few mm's bulkier than the iPod. I've had one for about a year now and it hasn't let me down yet.

Is it true that it's coming out for the PC as well? Release date will be 30/11 here in Sweden according to Webhallen. If it is, then... wow. I can't wait!

It's on the same realm. You can't make both an alliance and horde character on the same realm. You would need two accounts. My gametime has also run out. I've also stopped playing.

Exactly. And can't you see a re-occurring theme in there? :P Both you and Andy have a nasty habit of giving up when you're like 98% of the way through. So I'd be a pretty big idiot if I did this. Oh and I'm never gonna sell or delete my account. Spent way too much time on it to give up for a few hundred bucks.

Oh yeah, those are always epic. Like if you're the red team on Dustbowl, and you max your ÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¢â¬Åbercharge before the game starts, and then as soon as it begins, you grab a pyro and just run down the tunnels and kill everyone. Man, I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

Delete my (almost) full epic rogue which I have invested close to 100 days playtime on and abandon all my friends and the guild I'm in... to work as a healbot for you and Andy in arena? And by the time I reach level 20 you'll just start on some other server (and delete your horde characters because that's what you do apparently) -- or yet again go all, "IM ROLLIN PTR LOL!! :thumbsup:" Yeah, I'm just annoyed I didn't think of this brilliant idea first. /facepalm

Judas Priest - The Sentinel. Makes me wanna dance.

Well, for FPS I'd recommend Tribes 2. Hands down the best online FPS I've ever played. I don't know how many active servers there are nowadays though.

My server > your server. Pick Shattered Hand Horde! We are teh win. Or if you wanna hang with that loser Azvi, go Alliance. :P I've stopped playing though.

If I'm a heavy it does. :lol: Christ, I swear, on at least three occasions today, they actually started shooting at me with the shotgun because I wasn't healing them constantly. Well, that is, after they had spammed the "MEDIC!" button at least eight times. It is especially annoying if you're trying to max your ÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¢â¬Åbercharge before the game even starts. Besides, in some situations it's usually better to keep a soldier or demo guy up more so than a heavy (taking down turrets and dispensers for example). If any of you want to catch a game I'm usually on the server in the screenshot. :)

Oh yes, I love being a medic! Basically the only class I play nowadays (except on 2fort (I think) - I tend to be a soldier there). A couple of pointers for people who play other classes: - While waiting for the game to start and a medic is healing you - and if you're a soldier or demo - chances are pretty imminent that he wants you to shoot yourself. That way his ÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¢â¬Åbercharge charges faster. And if he doesn't, well then you can probably start shooting yourself anyway, and call on a medic. 60 seconds is more than enough time to max the ÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¢â¬Åbercharge. Really handy when charging in the beginning. - If a medic has his ÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¢â¬Åbercharge on you, don't just stand there - charge! Cause mayhem! - Just because you're a heavy doesn't mean I have to be on you like a leech every second of the game. Just a couple of things I've noticed some people seem to have a hard time realising, and the more who realise it early on, the easier our job becomes. :P

So, who here is Sean? Missed your messages. Was nice playing with ya though!

They only need to add your original steam name, not the nick name. I know that now. Hagelreth is what I use to log in, hence why I said he can remove the "Hagel" part in his post.

Oh btw, if you could edit the OP and just put Hagelreth under my name (remove the "Hagel" bit). Thanks.

So what's it like?

Played through the demo a few times now, and I'm very much looking forward to the real thing. Such an intense game.
