Ok, so it t'in't from youtube, but it made me laugh. Lots.

"My cock is much bigger than yours" - IGN.com

Yes! Not many people liked to play this. When not in this mode, nothing was more embarrassing than 'Klobb death'.

Last friday? The reviewer seems to think it's captured the fun of the old game. He could be wrong though Defo going to give it a go.

I found IGN on twitter last night. I was hoping for some ace quotes, but it's been disappointingly bland so far. The best I've seen is: "Exclusive new Metal Gear Solid Touch screens. Awezom. ~Levi" - @IGNcom "Geddes' Resident Evil 5 review is live, unlike the people of Kijuju, who are all dead" - @IGNcom

Suitably chastised.

Back in my first job, when I was basically building PC's for the company I worked for, they were buying the power supplies with the 240/110v switch on the back. One day, I was bored, and wanted to see how much of a bang I'd get for switching the voltage from 240 -> 110 while it was turned on. I did this with a plastic screwdriver at arms length. There was an almighty bang, and the biggest, blue-est, fattest spark I'd ever seen jumped about 6 inches out of the back of the machine.

Hooray for you! (lot) This sounds like a good wheeze. I am just jealous as I'm out of job very soon, and a holiday to SF sounds like it would be just the ticket, even though the G and D don't bear any relation to me. Or the C for that matter.

This isn't comical, it's just fuckin' cool. The guy has been round youtube, chopping up music vids that people have posted and made it into a track. *Impressed*. EsBfj6khrG4

Yeh, I agree, they're all good...but it was the silly smile looking oddly pleased with itself and piecemeal hair on toblix's cyborg that really did it for me. If it makes you feel any better, I wish I could draw that well OssK.

Breaking news reports from across space! Galactic commentators are starting to ask questions about the extent of the disturbance in and around Seyllin I - what has caused the disaster? An entire planetary population is being evacuated, 1 fleet has vanished and probes are disappearing without trace. More news as it appears. http://www.eveonline.com/apocryphabreakingnews/

My mind was still contemplating the Seyllin disaster. Guaranteed half the galaxy would be there by now, by turns trying to see if there was anyone who still needed help, salvaging or salvaging the salvagers. The entire galaxy's sweep of personalities would be there, jostling for position and a quick buck. The very best and worst of humanity. It was too far from me. SCOPE had reported 4 in total, there were bound to be more. Wormholes could wait. The Amarr could not. The comms array barked. I glanced up at the resolute face of an Alliance council member. "Brethren. We have found one. Report immediately for duty if available." Looks like I was right. There was no need to ask what had been found. I wasn't going to leap across space to fight others, but one nearby? Hell yes! I looked at the ship rack. What to fly. An unknown quantity. My eyes flicked over the Wolf, it's deadly form waiting. Too expensive. Need to know what's out there. I looked at my Rupture. Ahh, the trusty Rupture. It's been too long since I flew a cruiser. A few minutes later I was dropping into the blackness of space - some of the Alliance were already through into unknown space, I could hear the radios crackling, voices filled with wonder. Then, controlled, clipped tones cut in, "Targets located. Warp in on my position." Engaging! Already! "Requesting co-ordinates for Wormhole travel." "Warp in on me, pilot. What are you flying?" "A Rupture." "We jumped through and located a drone complex, origins unknown. The drones attacked immediately without warning - it appears they are some sort of automated defence. Aggressive. Thus far we have killed one frigate, but it was tough. I hope you've got an armour buffer fitted, else you are not going to last long in a Rupture." "Roger." As I approached the anomaly, my eyes opened in wonder. The object in front of me was confusing to the eye. It was translucent, but not. Shifting colours swirled into each other and distorted the starfield view around it from the gravity lensing. As the familiar fear gripped my stomach, I told the computer to lock and jump.

Man, the last few times I've been to the cinema, I've had to shout at scrotes like that. The very last time, we were watching 'The Changeling', 3 teenage girls had been messing around all film, up and down, in and out, then I heard one of their phones ring. Fair enough, thought I, they'll quieten it. But no. Oh no, no, no, no, no. She started talking on it. Whispering fairly loudly and giggling. THEN SHE PASSED IT TO HER FRIEND SO SHE COULD TALK. A fuse blew. I jumped over to them and grabbed the phone and told them to fucking shut up and fuck off out of it. I nearly threw the phone down the stairs, but I gave it back to them. Then they shut up for a bit, until it started again. I went and told one of the attendants, and fair play, she was right on it - got a burly security guard to watch over them for the rest of the film. A pyrrhic victory, since the film (and it's atmosphere) was already completely wrecked. Little, little, little bastards.

Oh yeh, I have 21 day trial things to give away as well.

In an apparent confirmation of New Eden's worst fears, the flotilla of rescue ships above Seyllin I has left orbit and are pushing towards the system’s stargates. SCOPE News vessels attempting to defy system-wide evacuation orders were fired upon by Federation Navy warships. All communications with the planet Seyllin I have ceased. Automated efforts to restart fluid router transmissions have failed, and distress signals emanating from the system have gone silent.

Yeh, it's basically backstory via 'news reports' that are filling the time while the new update is applied. Servers due to come back up around 16:00 GMT, although with the massive changes to the universe and the fact they're adding a new SAN, chances are it will be down for a day or so. The update will contain wormholes, new enemies, better enemy AI, tech 3 modules, engineering, construction and craft, modular ships, attribute respecs, skill queueing, UI-revamp, upgraded graphics and sound and russian localisation.

SYSTEM X7O-MU – The Sisters of EVE have released an unprecedented general warning to "all space faring travelers of New Eden" that they are forecasting the imminent formation of multiple wormholes throughout the cluster. The claim from the reclusive humanitarian organization comes amidst one of the most deadly natural catastrophes in modern history, as Seyllin and at least three other systems have been devastated by a main-sequence anomaly within the last several hours. The highly technical warning states that "multiple instances of defect-mediated turbulence in the fabric of spacetime have been detected in various locations throughout the cluster," and that the sightings "coincide with the erratic behavior of multiple star systems, many of which are unreported, all throughout New Eden."

As more reports filter through, it is emerging that the anomalies all occurred around a similar time. Reporters are being detained by miltary authorities for releasing information about mysterious energy sources near the local suns...

Anyone seen 'The Mist'? I heard about it a while back and it intruiged me, so gave it a watch. Normally horror films are a bit gash, but this one is good! If you let yourself be pulled into the film, it's really tense and (dare I say it?) actually made me a scaredy-cat! Not all the horror comes from the creatures either - the human element gets a little scary in the supermarket too. Kind of reminded me of a sort of Half-Life story, but told from the perspective of general punters rather than scientists.

It's interesting what you say about Jon's background... Someone who was unfamiliar with the source has said that was too long!

Particularly when used to describe a gay man: 'Turd Burglar', or perhaps in post-coital bliss, 'Turd Burgled'.

Interestingly (or not) I originally chose 'predilection' when talking about us lot shortening words, but changed my mind.

We met a bunch of people from the US in Barca and one of the lads mentioned something about this - he was screwing about why the American language uses much longer words for the same thing than British-English. The one example hes used that sticks in my mind (I was pretty brained at the time) was 'Elevator'. He said, "...and you guys use 'Lift'. I mean, what the fuck?". He was pretty affronted, it was funny. Oh yeh - if any of you guys from the 'States ever get round to trying Fish and Chips, make sure you ask for 'Haddock and Chips', not Cod. It might be tricky, as you're likely to be in London, which is mainy Cod I think - at least it tends to be down south. If you get mushy peas, make sure they mix a bit of mint sauce in with it! Also - get some gravy to go with the chips!

Well my grammar is pretty poor generally, so I've had to go and look this up, mainly because you've piqued my interest. This is not in the interests of one-upmanship you understand, or the great North Atlantic Grammar War 2009. I think possibly the all-round part is maybe from the British penchant of making words as short as possible to make them easier to say - plus it appears next to the definition you posted in the dictionary link. I think it's just a case of what you're used to
