  1. Get your portrait with Shrek 2!

    Kid 1: Hey guys! Look what I got at walmart yesterday! I go a picture of me with Shrek! Kid 2: Shrek? Man, that's not cool. We got ours taken with THE ENTIRE DVD BOX OF SHREK 2. Kid 1: I am surely better off dead. wtf. Kid 2: Well you're dumb and I'm going to bully you now. Kid 1: Alas, it is too late for me. What, do you get your picture taken with a picture of the DVD box or something? Or the entire cast of Shrek 2? Or does the Shrek you get your picture taken with have more facial muscles that 'Shrek 1'?

    Yeah, alright, so it doesn't look fantastic. But the cheese is good.
  3. Piece of Silence *early spoiler*

    I agree, and that's what annoys me in particular about Adventure Game websites. Each game gets a 70% bonus rating simply for being in the adventure genre. It's fucking ridiculous. If they really want to 'save' the adventure genre, tolerating the most shitty of shit games isn't helping any. It's just making people think that all adventure games are that crap. Yeah, that would bug me as well. God, I am beginning to loathe adventure games.

    I love Aldi. They have really awesome cheese. But I feel really dumb buying computer desks there. Just like some people must feel dumb when they buy computers there. Idiots. They also have very nice American Soda and toothbrushes.

    I also find that using TFTs for extended periods of time hurts my eyes and gives me a headache. Does anybody else find this? It's not a problem I get with CRTs. Although I guess better quality, more expensive TFTs probably aren't as bad. Erkki, I had that same problem with my 21'' CRT. I got a desk for about E50, that has a keyboard drawer, and a place for the base unit underneath, and the printer and whatnot. The only fear I ever have is that it'll one day collapse under the weight of the CRT, which probably weighs more than I do. It's very compact and it also slides out easily enough to get to wires at the back and stuff. I think I got mine from... Aldi, of all places. Man, I almost feel ashamed just saying that.

    I fucking know that, right?! I hate you so fucking goddamn much. No matter what the reason is, it's nice, in a world where good things are more expensive than shit things, for it to be the other way around.
  7. TFT monitors

    Because that never occured to me at all, Chris. Man, I amn't that dumb. I know why they're cheaper. My point is, it's a nice change to be able to get a better product cheaper than a lesser product. I can't find any information on Google about that viewy-ness of TFT screens, because I'm using completely the wrong search terms, such as 'viewy-ness'. But if you can think of the right terms to use, Google is probably a good idea.
  8. Hairy Faces

    What a lot of hairy-faced men there are around nowadays. When a man grows hair all over his face it is impossible to tell what he really looks like. Perhaps that’s why he does it. He’d rather you didn’t know. Then there’s the problem of washing. When the very hairy ones wash their faces, it must be as big a job as when you or I was the hair on our heads. So what I want to know is this. How often do all these hairy-faced men wash their faces? Is it only once a week, like us, on Sunday nights? And do they shampoo it? Do they use a hairdryer? Do they rub hair-tonic in to stop their faces from going bald? Do they go to a barber to have their hairy faces cut and trimmed or do they do it themselves, in front of the bathroom mirror with nail-scissors? I don’t know. But next time you see a man with a hairy face (which will probably be as soon as you step out on to the street) maybe you will look at him more closely and start wondering about some of these things. As you know, an ordinary unhairy face like yours or mine simply gets a bit smudgy if it is not washed often enough, and there’s nothing so awful about that. But a hairy face is a very different matter. Things CLING to hairs, especially food. Things like gravy go right in among the hairs and stay there. You and I can wipe our smooth faces with a fannel and we quickly look more or less all right again, but the hairy man cannot do that. We can also, if we are careful, eat our meals without spreading food all over our faces. But not so the hairy man. Watch carefully next time you see a hairy man eating his lunch. They will have hundreds of bits of old breakfasts and lunches and suppers sticking to the hairs around their faces. If you look closely, you’ll see tiny little specks of died-up scrambled eggs stuck to the hairs, and maggoty bits of cheese, and pieces of sardine. Just look closely (not that you'd ever want to).

    I can never see anything on those goddamn screens unless I'm sitting right in front of it. I've never tried rotating it 90 degrees, I'll try it at work over the weekend. I would still get a CRT if I was buying a new PC. It's crazy that you can pay so much less for something of such better quality, but there you have it.

    Hang on a second, you can roll the plane in High Road. Either by pressing both analog sticks down and to the left/right together, or by pushing I think the right one in whichever direction. Is that what you mean? I preferred the handling in High Road...

    Bran flakes in the morning So full, feel sick Now I'm yawning. Yesterday I asked somebody if they'd ever tasted Horlicks. They asked if it was 'delicious taffy'. WTF? I'm more than half asleep. My head feels really heavy. Now I have to walk three miles To get a bus twelve miles Into School. Weep.
  12. Crimson Skies

    High Road is really good. The only thing I find is that, although for the most part it seems to have fairly even and well paced gameplay, there are certain little parts that get ridiculously hard and frustrating. Like when you go after the Sheriff's friend in that desert place, and there was this one annoying bastard that kept shooting him down. So frustrating. I had to keep replaying that mission over and over. That said, it's only happened a couple times to me, and maybe nobody else had this problem, so overall the game is awesome. I haven't completed the original yet, but it seems neat too. High Road is better in my opinion, for a whole variety of reasons. The best way I can think of to describe it is the same, but better.

  14. Hairy Faces

    Matilda was the most awesome book ever. I remember poring over a red hardback version of it and not looking up until I'd finished. I like the movie. I watch it a lot. The kid in it is a pretty good actress too, and Danny DeVito is awesome. The problem with school copybooks these days, is that they tend to be filled with information, therefore making them less awesome to keep and read over for the next twenty years.
  15. Hairy Faces

    Man, I'm not being serious. I didn't even write that. It's Roald Dahl. I just thought it was hilarious the way it makes little kids look at men with beards. Apparently, Roald Dahl kept an old school copybook with his ideas in it for up to twenty years before he actually wrote the books. The inspiration for The Twits was this one sentence he'd scribbled down in it... "Write something against beards." When I was little, after reading The Twits, I used to stare really hard at men with beards for years afterwards, trying to see bits of sardine and mouldy cheese. But seriously, when you think about it... how do guys with big crazy beards keep them clean? They would actually have to shampoo them. That's crazy. Imagine shampoo'ing your chin.
  16. Hairy Faces

    No, but apparently Roald Dahl did.
  17. Tell Us About Yourself

    He's right though. It actually DOESN'T mean much. Just because I post a lot doesn't mean I have a lot to say. I know people that have a lot to say can seem imposing and scary, especially when they can use big words like I can!
  18. Cartoon Network VS Nickelodeon

    Momma had a chicken!Momma had a cow! Dad was proud! He didn't care how! Opening theme to Cow and Chicken is the best opening theme to anything ever, anywhere, at any time.
  19. Cartoon Network VS Nickelodeon

    Yesterday, Network 2 played an episode of Sabrina where she and her boyfriend ordered 'Tsunami Cocktails', that splashed over their faces when they went to take a drink. Of the billion other episodes of Sabrina, they chose the one with the Tsunami joke. It was hilarious. This country is so fucking moronic.

    Tell me what I did, please, for I cannot recall, Was it something that I said? Or that I never shut up at all?
  21. Crap... little help please? FF7 on ps2

    Is 'the scope' the name of an anime? Because if not, the scope most definitely is not awesome. And if it is an anime, it's still probably not awesome.
  22. Cartoon Network VS Nickelodeon

    Maybe the Cartoon Network I recieved over here was slightly different. Maybe the Cartoon Network you guys get doesn't repeat the same fucking show over and over and over and over again. And the movies, oh god, the movies. If I see All dogs go to heaven EVER AGAIN, I will go on a murder spree, targetting primarily dogs but also little girls. Marek, the show you're thinking of is Courage, the Cowardly Dog?

    I still don't know Can't remember Hey look!... Snow!
  24. Cartoon Network VS Nickelodeon

    Cartoon Network plays the same fucking movies over and over and over and over again, whereas Nick has that retarded show about the girl with blonde hair. They're both atrocious.
  25. Jesus fucking Christ, watching my brother play Half Life 2 is like stabbing myself in the eyes repeatedly. It's like watching somebody with ADD. They're just looking at fucking EVERYTHING except what they're supposed to.
