  1. Do any of you live in Iceland?

    I'm sure if I bashed your head in, all sorts of secrets would come tumbling out...
  2. Do any of you live in Iceland?

    SHAAAAAT AAAHP Toblix! Where did you grow up, Hermie?
  4. Play.com is useless

    I ordered an Xbox 360 bundle with Kinect, and some games off there. It shipped on the 25th, I got the box and signed for it, only to open it and find out they'd sent me all the wrong stuff. I had basically just paid hundreds and hundreds of pounds for a fucking Xbox 360 4GB. I immediately phoned to tell them, and I don't know why I was surprised to find out that everyone in the call centre speaks jumbled English and is apparently a robot. I was told that I would have to wait 48 hours for them to investigate and respond to my issue. I waited exactly 48 hours and received no response, emailed and received no response, and then called them to ask what was happening as I have a useless Xbox in my living room and my account is minus hundreds of pounds. I was told I'd have to wait 48 hours, again, before any kind of decision is made. A quick google search reveals that this is pretty commonplace with Play.com now. I'm really fucking annoyed. I think I'll just ask for all my money back and buy my shit elsewhere. Anyone got recommendations for where to get an Xbox 250gb bundle + kinect? AHRgARHgaHRgaRHgARHgah.
  5. Play.com is useless

    Wish I'd asked here before I bought anything, I just assumed Play.com was still not shit. Bah
  6. FAO Thompson

    I thought this thread would be about Jack Thompson Also, it is never too early for Christmas, I am a firm believer in stockpiling presents from as early as September, maybe even prior to that. Christmas is some good shit!
  7. Sweet advice guys, thanks so much! Thunderpeel, that is a sweet photo of my wallet you posted. Patters, in that photo you posted I swear it says "Dick to empty your basket". I think I'm probably going to follow your advice almost exactly as I know approximately nothing about anything
  8. Movie/TV recommendations

    Anyone else watching Forbrydelsen? Or The Killing as it's being shown as in the UK. It's great. No spoilers, I'm only on episode 10 or something. I want Lund's jumper. I love it so goddamn much. Who did it?!? I NEED TO KNOW NOW.
  9. Pub, London, this Friday.

    Bah I only saw this now.
  10. Hello all! I need to buy a laptop, primarily for uni (doing art-related things). I use photoshop and illustrator lots, but also want to start dabbling in 3D eventually. It would also be nice to play some games on it. I would like it to have a reasonably big monitor as I'll be taking it into uni and using it in class. I am not so fussy about it being heavy. I don't care about that. What should I be doing, or getting, and from where, and how? And how much will it cost? All these things are things I need to know. TNX
  11. Inter-railing and stuff

    Hello all! Long time no speak. In September-ish time I will be inter-railing around Europe with a friend, possibly two (although since the second possible friend is Ginger, the chances are he'll drop out). I'd like to visit Budapest, and I'm always up for spending more time in Berlin. Croatia would be nice, as would lots of France and Southern Italy. Anyway, basically it would be cool if some of you chaps had recommendations for places to swing by, stuff to check out, or even sofas to crash on or back gardens in which I can pitch my tent. I'm interested in everything, from winsome countryside to cool places to hang out in towns, and local dishes and all sorts of awesome things like that. Also places to avoid - I am at my MOST LIKELY TO BE MURDERED at 24. Women in their mid-20s and murder are like totally synonymous. YAY. Also hi again.
  12. Inter-railing and stuff

    Sounds great, thanks for the advice everyone. Tallinn was on my list already, it looks ridiculously sweet there. Hanko you say? I will check the shit out of that now. Ice caves?? I need to know more about Ice Caves.
  13. Futurama returns in 2008

  14. I was just on Mobygames and this banner was on the side of the page. People in the games industry need to grow the fuck up. I am so sick of seeing dumb shit like this in banners and stuff. At a company I used to work they once took out a full-page recruitment advert in an industry magazine that was an original painting of a mostly-naked girl wearing a thong and carrying a sword. It didn't even have anything to do with any game we were making at the time, and if anybody thought that it was a reflection of the type of women working at the company then they were wrong, and stupid, just like the advert was. As if the ideal clothing for swordfighting is bikini tops and thongs anyway. This shit is so ridiculous. Also, what kind of a dumb fucking bra is she wearing? I can just see that this was drawn up by an overweight ugly little nerd with one hand wrapped around his wacom pen and the other rubbing his crotch through his pants to bring himself off. It's so super fucking retarded. Do men even know what the purpose of bras are? And also those panties have a buckle, why? Why do they have a buckle? Has the man who has created this piece of art ever tried wearing panties with a metal buckle? Probably not. Or is it a swimsuit? Why is she wearing a swimsuit? And if she's wearing a swimsuit then why is the top bit so retarded? If that was a real bikini top it would be very uncomfortable to wear whilst swimming, and would constantly require "readjusting". Basically there is no excuse for how fucking stupid and retarded this whole banner is. And it's got a review on the banner from it's own forums.
  15. That is hilarious and appalling.
  16. Yeah I agree, even game content is ridiculous. I'm so so bored of playing titty women with holes cut out of each ass cheek of their jeans. If they're even wearing any jeans, which they're probably not. It's just embarrassing at this stage. I mean, 15 years ago or so when everyone working in the industry WAS probably a young guy who thought this kind of thing was cool - okay, fair enough. But it's been like two decades now and it's still the same as it ever was. Maybe worse, because now the breasts can have their own special physics, and their constantly erect nipples are in higher definition. It's just painfully embarrassing. And it's everywhere, and it's driving me nuts.
  17. Idle thumbs London meet!

    Where any of you wearing a Grim Fandango or Dizzy tshirt? I saw two guys standing together wearing said shirts, and screamed excitedly but SOMEhow they didn't hear me. I walked past and then wondered if they were thumbs. But I wanted to seem cool and aloof so I couldn't go back and ask. OssK has met me and can confirm I am extremely "cool", so you'd better all be nice to me now, or you'll be uncool by unassociation.
  18. Creepy statues in games

    I'm writing an essay and I require some info. I think statues are pretty creepy. Statues of dead people over tombs and gravestones for instance, with their staring lifeless eyes and creepy frozen smiles. That kind of shit. Anyway basically I know I've played a million games with creepy fucking statues in them but I can't think of a single one. I'm sure there was a resident evil game with loads of creepy statues somewhere. Maybe 7th Guest had some. I can't remember, I just remember their frozen, cold, marble faces. Can anyone help me here? Also I swore loads in this post so you'll think I'm cool and the "alpha female" and therefore you're more likely to try and help me out because you want to impress the alpha female, right? Because then I'll like you more and your life will be easier with me, and god, on your side.
  19. Idle thumbs London meet!

    I don't care how much of a quiet forumer you are, I love you and Japan. And I'm a very trusting person and will happily take you up on your offer even though we don't know each other. That is the beauty of being stupidly trusting. The downside is that I'll probably be murdered one day. But at least my cold dead body will be found somewhere cool - like Japan, or the South of France. Anyway, I <3 Japan!! But I would have to save up loads of money first so that I can buy everything I see because holy shit. I'm also really annoying and chose to inteprete "have a drink with me" as "come stay with me and I'll show you around Tokyo". fyi
  20. Idle thumbs London meet!

    Nevsky you should have come to say hi! I was standing with a group of the biggest retards I think I've ever had the displeasure of queuing with. "Aight boy this queue is real slow like, we is neva gonna play any games man. I need some GRAPHICSSSSS yeah?" Then they started judging all the girls in the queue and saying which of them they'd shag (which was all of them). The first thing I saw when I saw when entering was a person I absolutely hate, followed by a second person I hate, but then I met Nachimir and OssK and Lawrence and Spaff and I was happy again. And then I had to go home so I was sad again. God I'm so lonely.
  21. Idle thumbs London meet!

    Oh my god this queue is full of terrible fucking people.
  22. Idle thumbs London meet!

    Aight fuckers, I might head up to London this morning and just come back early for my work shift. That's how much I love you all. I'll probably be wearing this outfit but minus the guitar I'll also have a funky NCsoft backpack. It's black. So feel free to come over and say hi or some shit. I'll also probably be spending most of my time crying and trying to find a corner with an electrical socket so I can charge my laptop and finish my art essays.
  23. Creepy statues in games

    Those statues were great! I hated them! In a similar vein, Keen 4 had rocks that threw themselves at the back of your head whenever your back was turned to them. Not statues, but also made of rock, and quite sinister.
  24. Idle thumbs London meet!

    Really sad to miss this Stupid work. Although I need the money so... awesome work. I'll be there in spirit, if you believe in that sort of thing.
  25. OK. Who wrote to UK:R about Marek?
