  1. I had issues talking in one of these sessions, and it turned out it was the batteries getting too low in my wireless controller (even though the controller functioned perfectly).
  2. 25 years since Elite was released!

    Damn... Maybe I should check that out. It's incredibly frustrating to see ideas I've wanted to see realised (I've got pages of notes somewhere inspired by my frustrated attempts at playing X2) - only to see that I was right! There was a market for it and it could be done... by other people Next up: The RPG where characters react to how you've treated them/their friends/family, rather than based on your "evil-o-meter" score. (© May 2007 - based on a reaction I had to playing Black & White in 2001) If only I wasn't so lazy.
  3. Life

    It's not a "parody", it was supposedly a "response" to TLC's international hit song. (I was working in a record store when both were released and got to hear all about it.)
  4. The All New XBox Gamertag Exchange Thread!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (You immediately rejoined... right?)
  5. 25 years since Elite was released!

    I'm still waiting for the ultimate "Space Trading" game... They're either far too technical and fiddly (the X series) or too linear (Freespace). There's such an awesome opportunity for someone to make an MMO in space that lets people create their own clans, jobs, factions, whatever. People could actually join the police and start hunting down the pirate players.... *sigh* I've wanted to see this game made for years.
  6. MINERVA: Metastasis (a Half-Life 2 mod)

    Geez, was there really a need to create a whole thread for this?
  7. Illegal house party

    Wow, that's cool. Do you do 3D modelling then Ossk?
  8. Bah, missed it this week... Hopefully I'll be there for 100000 / XXXII
  9. Life

    Yeah, I know. I've never heard outside that song, either... but some men somewhere apparently do -- even if it's just a bunch of guys making it up for a song
  10. Brütal Legend overload...!

    It probably will be, at some point.
  11. Life

  12. Life

    Update: My Mum may not be as ill as we first feared... *phew*
  13. Favourite endings to games.

    Got to say I wasn't a fan of KOTOR's ending... it felt rather rushed and unsatisfying to me. Still, I can't really argue with the rest of the list so far... Tim Schafer does endings very well it seems! I really loved the final (mini)chapter of Monkey Island.
  14. Other podcasts

    Hmmm. I like the sound of A Life Well Wasted and Hardcore History, I'll give them a shot! This thread was a good idea. A friend of mine recommended Blast The Right, although I've not listened to it yet, I do trust his opinion. Also, has anyone listened to Dan Carlin's other podcast, "Common Sense"? Just wanted to hear opinions on it.
  15. Look what Kanye did! (Mildly amusing.)

    See for yourself: http://www.idlethumbs.net/
  16. Look what Kanye did! (Mildly amusing.)

    My bad, I thought you were expressing your frustration through an amusing quote.
  17. Actually I'm not as fancy as I thought... My binary is obviously a bit rusty - it is 31 in binary! (Toblix was being fancy!) Doh.
  18. New people: Read this, say hi.

    You could go the other way and start using "wo" to mean "will". If it catches on then "won't" would make perfect sense. What wo you do?
  19. I miss the Roman numerals Also, if you deleted one of your 1s, it would be "31" in binary, which is the number we're up to I believe! (Edit: See below )
  20. Life

    This put a smile on my face, your mileage may vary... Gaid72fqzNE
  21. New people: Read this, say hi.

    There was a great 1:1 PC remake of that game... Great for a quick play (Oh, and welcome!)
  22. Look what Kanye did! (Mildly amusing.)

    You do realise you bumped the thread in order to complain about it? (Amusing quote, though.)
  23. Illegal house party

    A very Philip K Dickian moment... Meeting yourself at a party. I like it!
  24. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Seriously, though. Can't someone just ftp the thumbs images to the above folder? Here's the files: http://www.thunderpeel2001.com/tup.gif http://www.thunderpeel2001.com/tmeh.gif http://www.thunderpeel2001.com/tdown.gif Just FTP them... go on, you know you want to...
