yesss FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!! :gaming:

'Cos I'm lying, it is actually kinda a lot better than ireland ¬¬ only 'cause there's more interesting stuff here... and the accents are better... Okay first of all there's no video game industry in Ireland worth talking about. But one thing I've thought about in the future is of starting a studio in Ireland - there is an unbelievable amount of talent exported to other countries... Man, I would really like to do that. Plus they'd make it really easy for you to start a new media company over there, because they're always trying to encourage that kinda business to start up... tax incentives and all kinds of fun things... hmm... hopefully it'll still be the same in ten years when I'm actually in a reasonable position to think about something like that... bah.... hmmm.... And second of all... man I'm sure there was a second. Oh yeah, I can afford to live over here now, I just could never afford to if I had a family. At least, not to the standard that I could do it in ireland. Unless I became really wealthy. Which is sort of my plan anyway.

yeah. those two things are pretty shit. having pretty much only moved to england two years ago, I'm appalled at how expensive (and shit) housing is, and also at uni fees. In Ireland, housing is not only much cheaper, but there's enough to go around and there's none of this "everyone living on top of everyone else" bullshit, except perhaps in the very worst parts of Dublin. If I want to start a family in the future, I'm looking at £350,000 minimum for a decent family-sized house in a decent part of town. I'm never realistically going to be earning enough to afford a mortgage like that, so I'd actually be relying on inheritance from both mine and my partner's parents. It's really unbelievable how shit and expensive it is here. You pay more here for a tiny little shit dark apartment in a run-down area of town, than you do for a massive family house in Ireland. And no, it's not that much better here that it justifies it... Also university in Ireland is free, some people even manage to come out of Uni with SAVINGS. Come on England, you backwards fucking 3rd world country, SORT YOURSELF OUT.

Same here.

That sounds nice... Here, there's this ONE STREET that ALWAYS has them. I hate walking down that street. It's like struggling through a crowd of thieves. There are SO MANY, and they all walk in front of you and spread their arms out wide as though they're going to hug you, but really it's so that you have to step around them or stop. Then they say, "hey, can I have just ONE MINUTE of your time?" which is a lie because it takes about ten minutes at LEAST before they stop waffling and get you to hand over your credit card details. Also, as for the money they make... If they're getting £9 and hour, plus food and accomodation in a hotel for one week, let's say that makes their first two weeks of employment cost... hmm... five days accomodation in a hotel, plus food, plus their first week of wages... £500 roughly? That's the first two weeks alone, and not counting the cost of paying the training person or travel expenses (which is also paid for them, and in Spaff's sisters case was quite expensive too - Brighton to Bristol) Then let's say every person they thieve from, gives them a £2 donation per month. You're not going to get more than five people a day, on the very best of days. That's a stretch. Katie usually got one or two people, on rainy days maybe not even that. They're going to have to get 250 people to sign up before they begin making a profit from ONE charity beggar. Does that not strike anyone as odd? And pointless? Plus for the average team of 5 beggars at various different ends of streets, that's 1,250 people before the team starts to make a profit... And that job has a massive staff turnover, since it's generally just a summer job for students.... ...wtf?

It was neither you nor Ginger, Lawrence... it was Spaff. Dan is bitterly trying to win an argument by blaming you for something Spaff did three or four years ago. However I bet none of the staff cried about it as much as they'd cry if you screamed at them until they cried. Anyway I agree with Ginger, they're free newspapers, shhhh, calm down. Charity beggars are teh worst becuase they keep coming at you and and at you with the intent of stealing your money, and then most of the time they'll guilt trip you too. Like once when I had no money for Christmas as I'd lost my job shortly before it, and I had literally only enough money to buy Spaff a Nightmare Before Christmas model thingy that he really wanted, and I hid it by putting it in a massively oversized cheap christmas bag... you know, the ones you get for £1 in pound shops and they're AWFUL. And then some Charity Cunt chased me down the street yelling, "Oh that's a big bag you got there, bet it's full of expensive presents! Some kids don't have a christmas you know! I won't take a minute of your time, I won't take your money, I just want to make you aware of the plight of some children? No? Hello? No? Okay, well enjoy that fat bag of presents you have, I'm sure you'll have a good christmas! Unlike some of us. I guess it's just good that you obviously have enough money to buy presents you know. I guess it's fun to have money. Not like some of us" (blah blah blah) And they hold out their arms to stop you from walking past which I find really invasive... Also, you think those guys really give a shit about their cause? no way. Spaff's sister did charity begging for a few months to SAVE MONEY UP FOR TRAVELING, because you get paid about £9 an hour to do it, plus commission on everyone you steal from. And they also get to stay in a nice hotel in Bristol with all their expenses and food paid for, for a week, while they "train". Bullshit.

FINAL FANTASY VI JUST ARRIVED ARGHARHGHarGHaHRgHArgharhgaHRgHAgHrgharHgaHRgHArgHaRHgHA YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I VOMIT WITH EXCITEMENT YES YES YES

Shhh it will all be okay, Dan I'll make you a nice sandwich (salad with lots of cheese and mayo! Your favourite! A danwich!) and a cup of tea, and you'll soon relax and remember how good final fantasy is and then also you will remember that you actually wrote that entire post all by yourself and it was in no way edited by me

This is ginger actual/ FF is great at what is does, if don't like that style of game, fair enough. But let us enjoy it, PS I haven't read any of the unaltered posts.

Oh dude, thank you for your kind and awesome and excellent words! Unfortunately (for you) I am betrothed to Spaff these days, but I would love to remain your friend, despite your feelings for me!!! We have a very close and dear friendship, Dan, one that I cherish very much. I feel so much better about myself since all those kind words you are super kind! Spaff and I are getting each other promise rings next weekend, I would get one for you too Dan but I am afraid I do not feel that way about you. Man this Final Fantasy 6 game is so awesome and cool! I am so glad that you all agree with me :) this thread is going exactly how I wanted it to!!!

God I'm so fucking unbelievably happy right now

OMG IT'S SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD I JUST WON MY FIRST BATTLE NAH-NAH-NAH-NAHHHHH NA-NA-NA NA NAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

LOOK AT THE LITTLE SONIC FANS CRY

Sonic games are highly overrated. And Sega is shit now.

ratty coloured string in ratty unwashed dreads????

Stop trying to change the subject >: (

Yours are great, but those of hippies aren't, because they don't wash them because they get SO CAKED FULL OF DIRT AND ROTTEN FOOD that to wash them would actually harm the environment. DanJW, yelling at a girl until she cries just because she's handing out leaflets isn't cool. I'll yell at YOU until YOU cry like a girl.

She sounds like an absolute cunt. Mind your own fucking business, hippies. And cut off your fucking smelly dreads and take all those bits of colourful ragged string out of your hair because I'm sick of looking at them.

I completed Prince of Persia 1 when I was 8 or 9. It was definitely before I was 10 years old anyway. It took me many many attempts. My mother was living in a foreign country at the time, so I was very lonely and spent most of my time playing games to take away the pain of not having a mother when you're 8 years old. I also completed Gods before I was 10, and most of the good adventure games that ever existed. Just to fill in that empty hole in my heart where my mother used to be. And of course, to help me forget the pain of the beatings my father inflicted on me every day.

http://www.worldofmi.com/ As somebody at work said though, "even if it does happen, it'll still be a lucasarse game" thanks co-worker. Apparently this is bullshit but the art is nice.

nooo lots of little shithead children running around town

Ginger, please don't allow your 12 year old girlfriend onto the forums.

Yeah see that's what I was thinking.

Um. I don't know what to do. I don't know if that's some kind of intricate spam or not. Uh. I guess I'll leave it there and... if anybody wants to email that guy... go ahead. Uh. It might be spam though. Or something. I'm so confused.

I like how you obviously just typed exactly what you were thinking at the time when you wrote that post, Spaff. Including changes of mind. PS. Yeah it's such a shame neither of us have FF6 to play on our DS isn't it?
