Patters

I do already do this, though on-line with 3rd parties who only know me, it feels more correct to refer to her as an unambiguous term. I still think people I have previously been involved with as: "Megan", "Mellisa", etc (Aside why is Megan not recognised as a word on Chrome's dictionary). Yeah, I have been through that. Don't get me wrong, I am attracted to the girl in question, though more than just for her physical appearance, in fact I am probably more attracted to her personality (sorry for the cliché). I do go out and meet new people, though as I am trying to cut down my drinking this has decreased from the last year, I have in fact gone out of my way to meet people, without drinking a ridiculous amount.

Had the most intense games I have had yet, JamesM, two random people and I completely destroyed a team when on defence. I was rocking the semi automatic shotgun, rocketeer blowing the crap out of people trying to bomb our base. Fantastic fun!

Yeah, the friend thing has almost happened before, though I stopped it before anything serious did, at the time she was pretty much my best friend and was the ex of my best friend from High School. So I took the moral high ground and took her aside and explained that nothing could happen and we are still fantastic friends. Just the women I have been involved in in the past few years have all fucked me over, which is probably why I am done with "metal chicks" which is a slightly derogative term I know, though the grief I have got from them is ridiculous. Of course they aren't all bad, but those that aren't are already involved with someone or are far too old for me. The girl in question is a friend, and a long time one at that, for the better part of a decade, though most common friends lost touch between the end of school and now. I guess I had also. Though it's really weird with everything being 'cutesy at the moment, which is something I haven't had for years. I want something, I'm reasonably confident she does also. There is just a lot of shit that has happened in my past, involving high levels of mental instability, which I have only ever told 2 people who aren't family. It was hard enough for me to get through; which could affect her as well, if we ever get serious. This thing is why I game, it's why I am me, it's why I will be incredibly careful if I ever have kids. Sorry for that, just needed to vent a little.

All thumbs are equal, but some thumbs are more equal than others.

I really need to stop being such a coward on the woman front.

A few of us were planning to, Mr 'vania's Brain child, it just kind of fell through with previous commitments. I would still be up for it though.

It's a double edged sword, if you blow a hole in the building then the structural integrity is weaker, the building falls and the defence objective is lost. I had something similar, I was assaulting the naval base, with the giant shipping containers you can run through, then as I left one I walked less than 5 metres and a fucking Helicopter hit the ground and exploded in my face, killing one of the opposing team around the corner and leaving me with a metaphorical brown stain in my pants.

FUCK YOU ALL! I like it!

Same time same place: 9GMT Xbox Live. Lets blow shit up!

I kind of just ordered the delorean one, those are fantastic. Also the TF2 Soldier Vs Demoman posters are Rad!

Hopefully you can manage to make it, I'm looking forward to driving my Abarth quickly and looking like the best person!

Tanks are a lot easier to take out now, though the assault class will have a tough time against them, with no heavy weapons.

Pushing more into team work, I tend to quit if I get a weak team who play it as a deathmatch I hope there is a squad play mode (the players form a team, and go kill some guys, etc),I expect they will as it's already in the console version of 1943. Thus far, there are people who are proper BF people, though few and far between. I expect this will settle down after the game is released so those that want to can find a tactical type server. Earlier today I played a game with a couple of tactical gamers on my squad, proper tactical advancement proceeded, unfortunately we lost as we started late in the game. I already love this game, it feels like the BF I want, it fills the gap between CoD, CounterStrike and Rainbow Six. Of course due to it being in Beta the chance of getting a good set up is minute, in a way it seems that it is a demo above a beta with the lack of a ton of general features in PC shooters.

I fucking love GTA.

We have that too, though a few of our friends wouldn't be able to play certain games, as in people who take multiple minutes to take a turn in Catan, wouldn't be able to finish a game of Imperial 2030, though I may make an effort to introduce a few friends from our video gaming society into boardgames.

I thought this would be a better idea to make my own thread than spam the Project Trico thread (The Last Guardian). It's the fact that I want this game, but I Can't justify getting a PS3 with the input problems. There are remapping tools, however they are crap (according to a friend who got one for his fight stick) I could put a PS3 controller in a 360 one, however the expense would be horrible. I really wish at this point we were heading towards a universal wireless/wired input code, which is become the norm between 360 and PC gaming, though I doubt that a Sony controller will work on the 360 or subsequent models and vice versa, which is a pity as I am sure there are other people who have the same problem as me and suffer with an Xbox controller. Of course this may seem a bit nit picky when there are those who are missing or partially missing limbs, thus have adapted controllers to suit their own needs, however it is my belief that a there are controllers with the same number of buttons, they should be cross compatible. Finally I would like to add: I am not disabled in anyway, it is just an affliction I suffer from. Relevant follow on discussion can/should involve similar afflictions, partial sight loss including colour blindness and anything else relevant

Sorry, I have loose ligaments, and underwent Physiotherapy regularly till I was about 10, which affects plenty of things, which now I am used to, apart from the occasional twisted or sprained ankle and my hands. Which is likely to be the cause in my case. RSI would probably be explained best by wikipedia If you are interested, I wouldn't blame you if you weren't, it causes my hand writing to be fairly terrible, and inconsistent, meaning I have to use thick ball point pens or almost any fountain pen. At the moment I have been using a Parker Urban while not technically the best pen I have used, including Parker 45s, it is easily the most comfortable for me to hold and use. Also Toblix, that was fantastic.

I'm not really sure, I have met one other that has been affected, the thing just doesn't fit my hands. My ligaments aren't great anyway, the way the controller is modelled doesn't give me anywhere to easily hold the controller. I hold a 360 controller differently than most, with the left hand covering it normally (two trigger fingers), then on the right I usually have my middle finger covering the triggers, index on the face, thumb on the stick, with the other 2 fingers holding the back. The GC controller was the best for me. A normal ballpoint pen causes me pain also, hence I have to use fountain pens.

I Doubt I will get this, i have no particular want for a PS3, sure Uncharted, Infamous and the like are great games, the controller is a piece of crap and has given me RSI in the past it still hurts to hold one for 45 minutes or more. To add to this, I never had a PS2, thus never played any games that are still PS2 exclusive, which is not a problem to me. i do however wish that sony stuck to their guns and released the boomerang controller, instead of taking a saw to the controller and then sticking stuff to it with super glue.

I found out about a week ago that my university has a board games society, which is pretty great probably gonna go next week. There is one slight annoyance which is the fact it is on GTA night, I expect I shall alternate between that and GTA or something.

It's better than the 2nd pack, but not the 1st. I really like Cosworths, which is probably from the 18 or so years I have lived in Essex for, Lancias are always fun, The AMC looks cool and the Syclone looks incredibly stupid

These parts I think are those that haven't been finished, particularly on the server browser and scoreboard, there is no information on latency given despite the space being available. I have had one occurrence of full on team work happening, the other team got completely raped.

The developer is Running with Scissors Inc. I don't know of any official affiliation. Another "so bad it's good" game is Brutal: Paws of Fury, a Fighting game on the Sega Megadrive, the premise is you are animals and you beat each other up. Classic characters such as The Dalai Llama and Roxy the Fox, star.

You had already mentioned those, though I still want to pick them up.

Haven't had any pop in at all, also no elevators like the original thus far. This is the PC version, but I expect the 360 version runs the same, someone who has played it on the 360 should chime in too.
