Portugal exploded in a shower of pangolins and guanacalamas, with the remaining mass eventually sinking to the depths of DFS and it's sofa-y muffin hell. We would have more news on this story but Jack armadillo's office wasn't available for comment.

I still think that laptops are armadillo, or at least for my uses... I mean there are usually PC at places where you need to make presentations, and it's really easy to put all your stuff in a HDD/USB Stick for whatever you have to do...

Hi! ;D
Oh wow. Hello! Im Ladyhawk. Welcome back. Ive read and heard so much about you Stormclould. Its wonderful to finally meet you :)
Welcome back stormcloud! :D
Oh. My. God.
Stormcloud.
I think I love you.
(It's the classic Phoenixguard greeting, just run with it. ;) )
You have never greeted me like that! Oh, I see how it is..... >:(
(lol jokes ;) But still, you never have :P hahaha)
oh god, people remeber/know about me, I am a little honoured, I apologise for abandoning you guys a little, goddamn reddit and EVE and university, though I got my degree now so i'm 2/3 less busy.

Hmm, I think I get it, not sure though. :P
Nice to see you again matey.
So flippin' cold this morning! (http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k610/cloudy25/smiley/smiley_emoticons_cold.gif)
Twas about 30 degress this morning. It was soooooo hot. -.-'
Can I squeeze in the middle and say we've had the mildest winter on record? :P
Yay! Stormcloud! Always art thou welcome. ;D
I dunno Marcus, its been properly cold the last few days here :( .
It got down to 1°F around here this day (that's like -17.2°C for all y'all), but with a wind chill well below that.
Now it's snowing again.
Good sir it is my pleasure to welcome you back and encourage you to stay.
In your time away there may have been staff changes and new child boards created.
Hey, Stormcloud. It would be nice if you introduced yourself again. We have two/three (Do you know Pheonix?) new members since you've been away. When I first joined I didn't know you much (Just stayed with the Mount and Blade thread mostly) :P.
Sorry Stormcloud "I can't repeat a karma action without waiting 1 hours". ;D
Other than that I've got a question... how do you make these? (http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr270/DrippingD/Stuff/meonexilian.png) :D

yeah he did, way back when the elected admins and mods were created. The global mods (Spatharios) used to be called magister millitae. PrivateClark made me one and i've kept it ever since :D
:( I want one. PRIVATECLARK!!! COME BACK!!!!
that would be a day to remember...
Why not though?
Stormcloud and CN2 have both returned to grace these hallowed halls with their presence. Hell, even Pentagathus came back at one stage, although that was certainly not graceful at all. Why not the good Private?
I wish I knew his E-Mail address to check if he's forgotten us. :( CN2 and Keedo too.
They sound like legendary giants/gods that once roamed through these lands...
Were you here when they were around? If not than you'll know, it's like losing Jubal and never hearing from him again.
Are you kidding? If we lost Jubal this site wouldn't last through the end of the week.
...Well I would still be around. If Jubal ditched us than it'll be his loss. Just like you Stormcloud. :)

Neither would Portugal.
What if he went away to be king of Portugal?
Then his rule would be so excellent that Portugal would never have to explode again and their economy would thus collapse.
I suppose it's possible that Spain might explode in that situation.
Don't be silly CG, Spain can't explode. :P
France on the other hand..... Jubal, go become king of Portugal! Now I say!
As far as the site not surviving without Jubal, agreed. He's the life-source. Or some armadillo like that.

I saw The Half-blood Prince and Deathly Hallows this week... And I have no idea why...
I was postponing this for a very long time, because these were the last pieces of my childhood, and I was saving them so I can have something to hope for. And it's now over...
Too bad.
That's funny. I saw part 1 of Deathly Hallows this week. I've been putting off watching it for ages now. I think I'm gonna go read it one last time before I see part 2 though.
I've never read any of the books. I did see the first movie though (but I think I fell asleep)

Yeah, but that's because you keep using echidnas. It has to be a platypus! :P
Generally, though, I'm no great fan of Valentine's day. Love shouldn't be about the day, it should be about the other person. If they're NOT the only important thing, something is definitely not right.
"Hi, I wasn't going to do much about you, but this artificially contrived holiday inspired me to buy you a box of cheap chocolates and some plastic flowers. Happy Valentines Day!"
Aaah you guys are being all pessimistic about it. It's not like it hurts.
Although Silver's picture certainly would have...
Actually, Silver was being pessimistic. I was being classically free-thinking romantic, and Marcus was being cynical. Technically speaking. :P
Also... comparing today's saints: Saint Valentine was killed in Rome, left so little record of his achievements there may have been several of him or none of him, and probably didn't have anything to do with the 14th of February or any particular association with romance. Saints Cyril and Methodius invented an alphabet that's the basis of communication across large parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia to this day, wrote one of the first true slavic legal codes, and Cyril very probably DID die on the 14th of February. Let's celebrate Cyril and Methodius' day! ;D
Happy Cyril and Methodius' day!
Get that in The Guide!
...what guide?

The idea is that the magnet pulling a magnet is a perpetual motion machine, so it won't stop
Its making me cry trying to figure out why it doesn't work irl :( .
Because they cancel each other out? And even if you used a more powerful magnet on the front, the system still acts essentially like an internal force. Now if you made it external, and put a magnet on the front of the car, and an opposite-poled magnet on the rear of another car, and drove that car in front of the first car it might work, as long as you went fast enough.
I can't believe I'm seriously discussing a troll face science concept. (http://www.xpwboard.org/forums/images/smilies/smiliessss/bucktooth.gif)
Yeah I got the cancel each other out part. Then I thought "so make the front one bigger" and logically I could tell it just wouldn't work but my mind was getting confused trying to see why lol.
Making one or the other bigger makes no difference, it's still just an attractive force between the two.
It's getting a little hot in here... :P
That's okay, if we put a compass at the north pole it'll just keep spinning forever and we can use that to power a fan... right? :P

Thinking about buying another sword. The question is, what type should I get?
I really like the look of the shashka and I've wanted to look into getting a long falcata for a while but both of them are sort of difficult to get my hands on. Any suggestions?
United cutlery Anduril.
Another Bastard Sword for me :P
I'd say a falchion or some other classy blade.
@Silver: I'd love to get a replica of Anduril but getting one that can actually be used is ridiculously difficult.
@Ladyhawk: Another? :D We shall see.
@NightAngel: A falchion's classy? :P Just kidding but in all honesty, the majority of falchions feel like a sort of glorified axe. That being said, it's an uncommon weapon to find in a collection.
Personal opinion though, I like the look of the shashka. Nice and sleek lines. I'm a little worried that a lot of the weight will be in the blade though because the hilt is so light and small.

Now
that is a classy weapon.
What do we think defines a weapon as classy, out of interest?
I own this beauty...
http://www.antiqueswordtrader.co.uk/product/austrian-1860-pattern-cavalry-sword-39
Exactly the same (except the scabbard which is only a bit different), probably dated the same.
@SotK: Exactly. ;)
@Silver: That's not a bad blade there at all mate. How does she handle?
@Jubal: A classy weapon? For starters a sword, not an axe or a mace and especially not a gun. *shiver* :P Anyway, nice lines, fairly long, somewhat fast. That's my definition anyway. ;)
Now if I had the money I'd go get myself something like this. http://www.albion-swords.com/swords/albion/nextgen/sword-medieval-irish-bastard-xix.htm
She's well balanced, but still a bit too heavy and clumsy for use on foot. I mean it's fine, but a shorter sabre would be a lot faster and easier to handle. It's basically like a one edged one handed longsword. But if you somehow manage to squeeze both hands into the handle (Which I can because my palms aren't really wide) then it gets epic... Almost like a claymore. :D
Title change. :P
Hahahaha nice! :P
And PG. Make sure you get a pretty one. :) If im going to ste.......ehhh, I mean hold, your new sword, I want it to be nice ;)

If I was collecting swords, I would want that. Shame its so expensive :( .
Cripes, that is overly expensive.
(http://newnation.sg/wp-content/uploads/cereal-guy-spitting.png)
Yeah Albion swords tend to be a bit on the pricy side. That being said, I've yet to find a bad thing about them and that sword there is a special edition one.
Anything handcrafted really well, particularly if it's smithing, is going to cost a premium because so few people have that kind of skill nowadays I guess.
couple of weeks ago at a church fate someone was selling (for reasonable prices) 3 full size metal swords (2 were movie prop/LARP the other was a cavalry sabre) was going to get one but then my girlfriend pointed out the difficulties of carrying it home with no scabbard...
You could have used her clothes to make one...
^Now that's classy. :P
Haha excuse me whilst I roll my eyes....

Never seen it, although I've heard it's good. Is it?
So tomorrow I am off out to clear brambles. I may be a bit prickly.
It was quite epic, in a dark and sadistic non-lotr-epic sort of way. I highly recommend it, because Malcolm McDowell is awesome.
Later in life Malcolm McDowell played Dr. Tolian Soran in Star Trek: Generations. In the movie after Generations, First Contact, Zephram Cochrane succeeds at mankind's first warp flight aboard his ship; the "Phoenix". In conclusion: Happy Birthday Phoenixguard09! :)

Well done on your continued survival!
Yeah, I've seen the .com, NA. It's been there longer than we have, and I'm still not wholly sure what the point of it is. :P
I have also seen that site before... It confuses me.
Just a mish-mash of text. Seven of Nine would say it is irrelevant.
Just played a game of AOEIII - on hard setting, British with 1 ally (Dutch) versus Spanish who also had a +100% resource gathering handicap.
The Dutch buckled insanely quickly, and sure enough soon the Spanish cavalry were stamping all over my base. I had a plan, however - shipped out my remining four villagers and explorer to an offshore island, took it over, and then proceeded to give the AI my best guerilla warfare masterclass. It was a stalemate for ages - I got all the offshore islands and a navy sufficiently powerful to demolish theirs and stop them building a port, they were fricken' unbeatable on land and generating resources insanely fast. I retook the trade posts and went for the trade monopoly victory in the end, just had cavalry regiments appearing out of the woods, hitting them, then running away again to slow them down whilst I got my monopoly in place. :)
I have not played AOEIII (in fact I don't think I've played it since the first one :P ), but your report makes me want to fire up one of the C&C's again.
In other news, an idiot set herself on fire by decanting petrol in the kitchen, next to a lit gas cooker. What a pillock.
Truedat. Which was partly prompted by an idiot advocating that people should keep an illegally large amount of petrol at home in case of fuel strikes that haven't even been announced yet. Unfortunately, this idiot is a government minister. :P
Yep, pillocks all round. Sigh. I bet he didn't worry about being able to get fuel...
They can use the army tankers on special duty for ministerial limousines, I bet. :P
I am so lost. (http://guildwars.incgamers.com/forums/images/smilies/large/smiley_goofy.gif)
Me too, on another note, AOE II is better. ;D
I actually really like AoM. AOEIII was certainly not the best of the series, though.
AoM > AoE II > AoE III
Never played the first one.
One was less good than 2, but prolly better than three.
Yeah. I king of agree. When I was little I thought it was the best game in the world. I spent literally a whole day on one scenario trying to get through it. (I was little)
Heheh, I never even got through a lot of AoE campaigns. It's a little-known fact that I suck at gaming, I'm pretty much just a programmer (I'm better at multiplayer, where I can mindscrew people, but even then experienced players can own me on most games).
AoE II. One of the best video games ever. No one can deny that fact.
I quite liked AoEIII myself, the thing that really annoyed me was the lack of any european setting, the american setting got boring quite quickly.
I've never played it but what I've seen of it, it's not as good as 2.
It's a quiet Booze Up of late... do you all have hangovers or something? :P
I don't drink. :P
Haha, I have only ever had one drink.
How is everyone? Had a good Easter? How is work or studies going for you all?
Fun fact my parents were trying to wean me onto light alcohol like beer and light wines.
I hated all of it, they were all far too bitter, recently we found out the only alcohol I really like is orange liquor.

Hey guys. I might not be on Exilian a lot for a while because my house was broken into and a long with a lot of other things my new laptop was stolen.
So just letting you know, it's not because I don't like you guys, it's just I'm depressed and can't really access Exilian as much as usual. :(
Curse them! >:(
That really sucks, sorry to hear. :(
That is terrible!
My thoughts are with you, LH.
*internet hug*
Yeah :'( I had only had that laptop for just over a month. I have lost all my assignments not to mention my progress on Warband, With Fire and Sword and Oblivion.
And just the feeling that someone has been in my house. My room was messed up. They tore out draws and threw everything around. It was horrible.

The fact things like this happen is what makes me disgusted by people :( . Feel very sorry for you LH.
Sh*t, sorry the hear that LH. :(
I came here just to say "Boobs", and I hear this.
Dammit.
I'm a bit familiar with the feeling. A few years ago our business store got robbed. But when your house gets robbed, that's more personal...
We had a septic tank stolen once. We were having an extension built and were waiting for it to be put in, then it got lifted overnight. No joke.
If I ever catch someone like that in my house they are in for a world of hurt.
Haha I really hope I get to meet them one day. I'm planning on getting a dagger for my birthday, I am going to need someon...ehhhh something to test it out on ;)

I'm actually tempted to accept that challenge, CG. I can't think of a good strategy though... yet.
"I got 3,500 problems..."
Just finished the last part of The Pacific (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374463/) last night. Nearly all my respect for the fighting forces of WWII went straight to the US Marines.
The Polish for me. Regardless of how they ended up going it takes real guts to order a cavalry charge into guns. And they pulled it off several times too. I read somewhere that there were about 20 I think confirmed Polish cavalry charges and of them, only one was unsuccessful although from memory a few of those victories were a little Pyhrric...
Still, while they didn't charge into tanks, they had major balls. Real men fight machine gunners with sabre and lance. :P
Brave but stupid, pretty much a reminder of WWI there.
Yesterday I fitted a new exhaust to my van, the old one had rusted to bits, and replaced the gasket on my differential. Unfortunately in the process of draining the diff, I ended up having an early shower consisting of warm diff oil, in my face, eyes, nose mouth, hair and over a good chunk of my right arm. Not nice.
cavalry were still an effective force in WWI despite what high school history teachers say
though useless in trench warfare, they were still amazing in pitched battles and ambushes
Aaah except I was talking about WWII. ;) But yes, cavalry was still effective, just a little vulnerable cause they present a larger target than infantry.
IIRC, the Polish largely used their cavalry as mobilised infantry, not so different to the Wehrmacht's use of motorbikes and trucks, just more... squishy.
And then of course, as Phoenixguard said, many successful charges with sabre and lance against infantry, the only unsuccessful one being when a panzer division suddenly turned up. Definitely agree, major respect for them.
P.S. I wanted to add that winged hussar emoticon we had, but we don't have it on this new forum. :(
P.P.S. Of course, we should really be giving our respect to the ANZACs today.
Indeed Andalus you are correct from what I know and remember as well.
We also need to add the old emotes. I liked them better than these ones anyway, but no matter. :P

GEEZ!! Slow down with the activity around here, I can't keep up! >:(
Haha I miss the old days when I would just sit on Exilian while I should have been doing my schoolwork. I used to have stuff to talk about. :P
LOL, I miss when you and I had Forum Game battles. I think we got about 14 posts in a row on one game
Those were the days eh? :P
bah a poultry 14! back in ooo 2008 me and a friend had 5 page battles in the games section, we were the reason for the spam section!
True but Khan and I had 14 post battles in about twenty games. Small perhaps in comparison to the golden days of the ancient past but still a considerable achievement in this era of Exilian. :P

What kind of camera do you need to be able to make short video blogs?
Like Jubal for example?
The current camera is ancient and the one on laptop is shi**y.
I was thinking about making a vlog, but I got sidetracked.
And it'll have to wait. A month at least.
Ancient and armadilloty should still work in the right hands. ;)
I can't remember my camera's specs. It wasn't dirt cheap, but it's a few years old now.
Yeah mine is like 5 years old. It's not that good but it still works.
Mine's at least 7-8 years old... And it's just to slow...
I have to buy a new one.
Anyone in the UK been watching Planet Earth Live? If you haven't, it's a load of anthromorphosised, sloppy, vomit inducing tripe where the only 'live' thing is the presenters gurning at the camera. And now it's been completely ruined by Julia Bradbury saying 'Happy Mothers Day' to a sodding lioness! Where's the sick bucket?
I haven't been watching it, and now feel neatly vindicated, thankyou. :P

Also, if LH or anyone else wants to start a similar thread for ogling men, if we allow one we must by definition allow the other. And yes, the nipple thing is a rather odd societal construct, but PG-13 we should ideally remain. :P
Yes, we should. There are many places on the internet where one can find porn, but this shouldn't be one of them.
Agreed.

I'm out there today, I going to hunt chicks. ;D
And study anatomy. (for college, it won't actually involve those chicks)
----------------------------------------------
Number one:
I haven't forgotten about the epic boob thread and I'm going to start it as soon as I finish something...
.......
Number two:
Ok guys I have another one of those weird questions...
Have you ever seen a corpse?
Just wondering...
Inspired by my anatomy classes which have started yesterday.
I saw a corpse before in a rather nasty situation and I'm going to tell you more about it later but right now I'm interested in your experiences...
I've never seen a human corpse. Plenty of very graphically killed animal ones though.
And as for the weekend... revision, yay!
Yep seen lots of dead animals. What about dead humans in a funeral home? Does that count?
Weekend? Maybe try to find another car, shoot something, sit on the computer, be alone.
Silver, if we combine today's activities for you this is what we get...
The wolf prowled through the undergrowth, searching for something. He knew not where to find, nor from whence it came but its pull on his soul was undeniable. Ahead it lay, behind the seeming safety of glass. The wolf took up part of the undergrowth, a large piece of wood, weighty and tempered by the elements. Upon his hind legs now, the wolf swung the wood at the glass with all his might, shattering the glass and startling his quarry. Quickly he leapt through the window and shook the life from his prey.
Then he took photos of her boobs and posted them on the internet....
I have a sick, sick imagination.... :P

No, you're ok (for an internet person, that is). :P
I was thinking the same while a was writing it.
It was like : "OMG this is going to sound so weird. Hmm, let's post it anyway...." ;D
I'm going to use this in my signature :D
HOLY CRAP YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!
I feel so loved right now. :D
No problems man, happy to give you something you considered worthy to go in your sig. :P
It occured to me not long ago at all that I neglected to actually answer your question. I have seen many a dead animal and many photos of dead people but have never actually seen a dead person up close in the flesh.
A long time ago I saw a girl run over by a train.
Not as gruesome as I though it would be.
Ouch. I don't suppose you knew her?
RIP though if you're watching. That being said, if she's watching then I'd lay even money that she's not resting in peace.
She was related to one of my classmates, but I didn't know her personally.
Right. I am sorry to hear it but it's 3:24 am over here and I get weird at about this time.
Probably a little earlier. :P
3:33 is the right time. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIGxKY5y6Mg)
Just don't shout "Bloody Mary" in front of a mirror.
That's bizarre then cause even Exilian on my end says its 10 minutes behind yours. :P
No, check the previous post again.
That was the point.
Oh right sorry the link didn't show up. All is well. :P
Attempted to create video log. Failed. ;D
Attempted to get some sleep before the big meeting... Failed. :D
Ladyhawk sleep instead, will try to awaken her.
Is she... is she in your house? ;)
No, phone call mate. She was over here last weekend though. :)
YOU DIDNT GET TO SLEEP!!!!!!! Grrrrr.
I can come over if you would like to :) I will start walking now :)
No sun's not up. There is no way you're walking around Park Ridge by yourself in the dark.
Oh I will be fine!! :D I will take a softball bat with me :D Anyways, its the early morning. NO ONE is out early morning :) Except for me. Walking to your place ;D
Our dashing hero comes to rescue the fair lady from the dreadful monstrosities which lurk in the dark mists of the Park Ridge. ;)
And buys ice cream on the way.
Everyone loves ice cream.
OH MY GOD I WANT ICE-CREAM!!! I love ice-cream :D
Haha PG, screwed you.
Now you have to bring your wallet too. :P
Thats okay :) I will pay for it :D
Heresy!
Lol I was just joking. Feeling a bit crazy today.
Haha no Silver, you couldn't have know this is a long standing debate between the two of us. As the male I'd love to pay. She's very independent though. :P
No. Just stubbon as all hell ;)
Independent woman denying a gentleman's privilege to pay for icecream? That is simply outrageous! Highly improper, one might also note.
(http://slackstack.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/sir.jpg)
Aww, but I feel so bad :)
Tbh, I will offer to buy a lady friend something, but if they refuse and wish to pay themselves, I won't argue in the slightest.
I use reverse psychology and get them to pay every time! ;D

Not really, I'm lying out my ass. xD
Hahahahahaha. Awwwwww, thats funny.
You people are silly I'm going to sleep.

Sleep is for the weak.
Haven't slept! I think that's 29 hours awake now.
Tired but luckily I have Coke. COKE GLORIOUS COKE!

Yes, include it in your next video... :D
Still, a real skull which once belonged to a living, breathing man is the coolest of them all.

I used to be terrified of horror games, I'm still unwilling to dabble with Penumbra or Amnesia.

Anatomy report. ;D
I spent my entire morning pulling out and watching organs on two corpses.
One of them was really old and mummified and the other one arrived less than one year ago.
One of the most interesting lectures and experiences ever.
I mean I held a human heart in my hand.

One of these days we might even get the permission to watch an autopsy on a fresh body.
Let me guess...
You want a female one so you can post her boobs?
No I should be respectful of the dead. I'd make a armadilloe mortician.
Actually they were both female.
And yes, I saw the boobs on the second one. Lots of adipose (fat) tissue.
Taking pictures would be immoral. Even for my standards.
After all that person donated hers/his body for scientific purposes. It should be treated with respect.

Math, despite actually being a contraction of mathematics, sounds and looks as though it isn't plural. Maths on the other hand keeps the s from mathematics, to show that there is more than one 'mathematic' being talked about. Also, what did the s do to America in the first place? ;D
You don't say "hairs" when referring to all of them on your head now do you? ;D
But hair is most commonly referenced as a single thing, even though it is made up of many hairs. Maths is a general term for a varying range of numbers, equations etc. And those equations and numbers are distinct, and rarely referred to as one object, because they vary immensely. Hair doesn't much, at least not on the same head.
Ah, but we use the term to refer to all of it as a subject, not a varying range of numbers, equations, etc.
i.e. "I'm doing my math homework."
Besides it seems like a complicated bit of pronunciation, because you have to violently scrape down your tongue with your teeth when going from the "th" to the "s" sounds, when much simpler is it to say math. Math. Math. Math. ;D
I have a pretty random question...
Is modding Total War games hard?
I was thinking about making TEATRC mod for MTW2.
I personally think that modding MTW2 is ten times harder than RTW (which is the best ;) ). But it's up to you.
It does vary. RTW is generally considered the easiest to mod.

But the gameplay mechanics do not fit the TETRC settings. MTW2 would be the best choice...
And I no longer have RTW.
Do as you will. ;)
Ah the only real difference I picked up was that texturing was far more difficult. In general though, it's not more difficult just time consuming.
Oh and there does seem to be more in the way of RTW tutorials.
I just threw up. Yay, my life is fun.

My haircut is now really similar to the second one.
But I still can't decide.

Silver, all the ladies love my hair so I can conslude your argument there. Yes the chicks love it. There are other advantages. For one, I have never worn a hat or sunglasses while playing tennis because, despite the blazing sunlight down here, I have hair which I can use as a semi-effective visor to block out most of the light and still retain decent visibility.
Make sure it's long at the back though Silver, what is affectionally known in these parts as the frullet, namely a mullet but with a fringe.
THE FRULLET MAKES ITS MOVE LADYHAWK! TO.... CROATIA!
HAHAHA AWESOME!! Yes, get a frullet. They are really good :D I love James' hair. I love to play with it :D
Eww! Girl cooties!! ;)
As I've said my hair looks just like the second one. Maybe a bit shorter on a few parts.
LH which one is shaggy? ???
Have the sort of hair a girl can run her fingers easily through :) Not not does it feel great but it can be a very intimate action that can lead to cuddles or something more :D
I like cuddles... :)
Cuddles are awesome. I love cuddles :D

For some reason it is very hard for me to not be a nice guy. (http://serve.mysmiley.net/indifferent/indifferent0004.gif)

At some point you realize that some people just don't deserve your respect.
The ones who earn you trust are the ones who deserve it.
People keep getting the wrong idea. Being an arsehole comes naturally to me but people keep saying I'm a nice guy. I've come to the conclusion that, with one major exception, those people just don't know me at all.
Ladyhawk is the exception if she was wondering. ;)

Don't be silly DD Jubal obviously needs more homo to make him feel better, everyone channel all the homo you can to England.

...is my 4,000th post at Exilian. :)
DOUBLE POST!!! Doesn't count. :P
You should have sold it for ad space CG. You could have made some money there... :P
Ad space for what? Exilian?
I think he just meant that C_G's 4000th post was such a momentous event that people would want to advertise there. :P
What Jubal said. Missed business opportunity there. :)
My 4,005th post is up for sale. :)
No takers I presume, since you're on your 4,009th when I am writing this. :P
I wouldn't advise it. The advertising market is near-enough saturated. Add into that the fact that JCDecaux have a very large share of same, there's very little money at the moment.
Maybe the market will pick up again by the time you reach Post 5,000.
OK then, my 5,000th post is up for bid. :)
I see you're giving them plenty of time to step in then :P
Hey I'm already like 2% there. :)

Oh how brilliant.
It would technically be "Martinii" but I applaud the brilliant use of the Latin language to formulate this humourous yarn.
I can't take credit for its creation, sadly. I did think of the martinii thing, but that would have somewhat floored the point of linking it to the drink and thus rendered the pun unuseable.

When do you and C_G get a colour change?
I don't, I never did the colour change for Basileus - Green is my colour as Megadux, which is my permanent role. C_G is currently orange for RTW but can change to light purple for Basileus if he wants. Again, as he's got another permanent admin role he doesn't have to though.
YAY!! Dont change CG!! Dont do it!! :D :D :D
Aw, but he'd totally look good in purple. :P
Just trying it out. :)
...And it looks awesome ;D
That's not purple!! That's PINK!!! Go back to orange :)

Just saw the name of "The Jolly Boar Inn"... long time since I read Asterix's books (gave myself a pause because I remembered the plot and the chronological order of all the important events of each story)... maybe I should read them again (and hopefully understand all the "grown-up" jokes that there are in between that I never noticed when younger)
(WHY U NOT POST HERE IN 4 DAYS)
Although it's a day early I'm going to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy0q2lAggHI which has become a yearly tradition for me. ;D
Taking some time out from a very heavy schedule of frantic music practice to watch some tennis - Murray very much pwning Jo-Wilfrid Tsonga at the moment, though I still don't fancy his chances against the Fed much if he gets to the final.
Murrays been pawning another human being? That can't be legal.
30%
30% of what?
The way to his 5000th post of course. :P
It sure fells relieving not to log on to FB... on the other hand, I'm wondering if people are really trying to contact me (and really need me to answer).
Has anyone else noticed how essential FB has started to be on our lives? I hear that companies pretty much spy on their would-be-employees' pages to see their personal characteristics (like, to see how serious they are, and to proove to see that they are who they say they are). I just came to realize now how important it seems to be for most of us: Fb used to be the first thing I checked once I got into my PC, and it was the main source of communication I use for my alliances thing at school (so I spent like 1-4 hours a day there, either transmitting important info and clarifying it, or sometimes following a persons to Hell's gates, asking his friends to do me the favour of calling him to log the portugal on so that he could give me the goddamn media files I needed weeks ago)
Everyone should just use Exilian instead. :P
Big final today
wonder how much the wack to Tsonga's privates affected his game? Was there on Murray Mount when he got hit, no greater sound than several thousand people going "Oooo!" in sympathy
http://imgur.com/a/pQJ3x
DD I've whacked myself there several times while serving, especially one set where I got them maybe four times. It definitely throws you off and that's at a considerably lower level of hit too. :P
Poor Murray. :(
Murray's defeat was inevitable, if a little bit sad. I'm more concerned that I won't have Grand Slam statistics to fill my never-ending summer days with... I assume I'm not the only person who watches tennis for this reason? Or does a Year of Hell (read: 'a year of a science degree') just do this to you?
I wouldn't go for inevitable - he played incredibly good tennis, and I'm still hopeful he will at some stage win a Slam. Federer was utterly amazing though, playing at least as well as he was doing in his prime years.
I think this is what I mean by 'inevitable' - once I saw how Federer was playing, I didn't see any other outcome (and Murray is not well-known for his gracious handling of pressure on the big stage). But I don't think winning a Slam is out of his reach, once he gets a handle on things.
isnt he now taking a break from tennis?
A break? Only for a few days, he's got the Olympics in a fortnight.

BTW... I've fallen in love... the An-94 is portugaling beautiful... I might be playing BF3 to much lately :P (actually, going to bed at 5 o'clock am because of gaming ;D )
Ah, vacations are good.
Damn it, I start back again on Tuesday. :(
Is BF3 as Good as 2142?
I don't know, I've never played 2142. Maybe someone else can give you an answer.
Me either... never really tried 2142, I never really liked the concept or the graphics (the environment textures made me puke when I saw them in videos)... but I do have BF2, if it helps. It's really different, a lot faster paced, but many things have been improved/renewed (like the spawning, the classes [this still is my biggest gripe from BF2, the 7 classes were way to specific], the weapons... you should try it out yourself though... although hopefully not by buying it :P
But 1942 on the other hand is really fun. :)
I've wanted to try it for years, but it has never worked out >:( don't like the theme though, anyway
Morrowind might be a good choice though. ;D
I'm back! :)

Yeah, the audio is not too good :( . It was really loud in the recording, so I lowered it when editing in Vegas. Turns out I lowered it a little too much, although it seemed fine when I was playing it in VLC. ~8 hours of upload later it was really quiet on Youtube and I was sad. The fact that neither of us have a particularly good mic doesn't help either.
EDIT: In the second part, Teejackbo causes loads of background noise :( . Noticing it more now I'm editing it...
Damnit Silver, I'd pay all sorts of money to go to concert in Australia. :P
You'll have to go mate. Go on! :P And film it too so we get to go with you from the safety of our computer screens. :P

The audio is much better this time. Only a new microphone would make it better.
So I'm trying to get back into modding M&B. And so far all i've done is failed to install python. Its going well. I need a proper job.
Edit: Aha much success!
In recent memory I've never seen this thread go inactive for three days running. This is not good. We need more, active, new blood. :(
I've got a few on recently... about 3... not much activity from them though. Maybe we could follow my idea of merging with another forum. It would have to be a small one, the Bigger ones probably have more history so they might not want to move into Exilian.
I think you're really meaning a takeover rather than merger.
I haven't been pushing at Exilian stuff much due to lack of time, but I should have more in the next bit so I'll try and get some things happening. :)
Anyways... still undecided with what I'll want to study and do for the rest of my life. Any suggestions? :D

Busy week is busy.

...BOOM!!
Went and saw a play today called "Democracy" about the rise and fall of a West German chancellor called Willy Brandt. Really, really interesting, many amusing insights into government and politics as well as some fantastic character depth and interesting cold war history and spying.
Sounds pretty nice! All the plays I've heard of here are like opera, ballet and classical pieces, but yours really sounds like something different! Was it made by a professional troupe, or was it like a school group?
To be honest, I've never liked plays for the reason I mentioned before :P
So, who watched the Olympic opening? :D
I did, it was fantastic but then I was tired and went to bed.
The chimneys rising out of the ground was my favourite part.

Do you have the blu-ray extended box set?
Ah only DVD I'm afraid. I have no blu-ray player. :P
Still, Extended has to count for something though and I have The Hunt for Gollum and Born of Hope burnt onto discs. ;)
Gollum is pretty good, but takes itself way too seriously. Born of Hope is just an abomination. :P
I kinda enjoyed Born of Hope tbh.
For fan-made stuff, I was actually really impressed by both of them. :D
My favorite part of Gollum is at time-marker 6:37 when you see a car go by in the background. xD
Really? I never noticed.
Still, I was impressed. :P The Dunedain just got really advanced in the field of automobiles, something which was never showcased in the films proper, but it's TOTALLY legit. :D

Do we know who if anyone is playing Radagast? Love that guy.
@PG
I know, I've read the book. I have my own copy, in fact. ;D
Three parts? "There","Back Again" and "Back There Again"? Nah, hobbits are too lazy for that.
"Was going to go there, but stopped to eat", "Lunchtime", "Would've gone back again but was still at home in the first place because I decided to stay in and make a cake"

Had an hour and a half long conversation with CG on Skype which made me realize that I have to work a bit on my English. :P
Not speaking a word of English for almost 2 years left a mark...
Honestly Silver, if I didn't know any better I would have thought English was your primary language.
What PG said, yeah.
Getting some programming done at last, amidst various human confusions etc... emotions suck. But hey, fortunately they don't affect my Python files.
I thought you did very well, Wolfie. :)
'tis I who am terrible at speaking. I don't think any of you would recognize me as the same person if comparing my written and spoken dialogue.
I feel pathetic.
Why? What happened?
Well... I may as well be honest.
I've just been in rather a depressed black hole lately. Getting quite addicted to the pointless chat side of the internet, being desperate for company no matter whether it was morons or creeps or what, crushing my own self esteem into a pulp, etc. So I'm trying to pull myself out of that. I think a lot of it was just a mix of being mentally tired and weak after exams coupled with loneliness and stress overload, but... I haven't been reacting to it in a good way at all, which I hate myself for rather. Hopefully I can pick myself up a bit more in the next bit.
A good friend to talk to, some relaxing chillout music(RHCP works for me) and a glass of gin-tonic always gets me back on my feet. You should try it.
Lie in bed listening to music and reading a good book always works for me... I need a new book.
Reading doesn't work for me when I feel lonely. Although it helps me when I'm stressed out or just depressed.
Sorry, Jubal. :( I would offer some words of hope and/or tutelage, but I frequently find myself in similar situations.
But always remember, you are among your friends here. :)
It's odd Jubal, I got a similar feeling during my exams... if you're willing to talk to any of us we're completely up for it :D
But seriously, I hope you get through that period of stress soon... the best thing I did after exams was to close myself up entirely from the outer world for 4 days (it was a long weekend, thank god), and do stuff I had had to stop doing due to school, like reading, or doing absolutely nothing :P
@Ashanorath, what does RHCP stand for?
Jubal you are probably stressed out because of exams. That happens quite often actually, but after some time you'll learn how to deal with it.
@ debux RHCP=Red hot chili peppers
I almost never have stress problems so I have no idea how to deal with it. I somehow always manage to stay cool even when other ppl freak out. I guess that's a good thing for me.
I am fairly experienced in dealing with exam stress - it's more it being coupled with a rather lonely patch. I tend to be somewhat prone to feeling depressed anyhow (I mean, never been diagnosed with anything, I just know my mind falls into black holes sometimes). I'll get better either way.

Exactly. That's probably because of our high-school. I'm glad that it's over.
Yep, we got used to random oral exams and blitz writen exams so that doesn't get to us anymore. Btw Jubal I read somewhere that ppl with higher IQ have higher tendancy to fall in those "black holes" you mentioned. Just don't let it get to you. My last depressed phase was half a year ago and it lasted for a whole month. I just kept myself occupied, not thinking much about it and one day I woke up feeling normal again.
lets go see a film jubal!

In 3 weeks pls, when I'm home xD
I had a nice day today, I was working on something and almost poked my eye out with some wire :S Luckily it hit the rim of my glasses but unluckily it cut the vein on the edge of my forehead so I had a blood bath(I'm pretty sure I lost like 1.5 dl of blood). Well at least it didn't hurt at all and the wound is really small.
Can't edit with mobile phone :S
I forgot to mention my abs, legs and biceps hurt as hell cause I did some hardcore workout yesterday.
Bloody hell mate!! Are you okay now? That sounds like it sucks.
Oh, sorry to hear that Ash. :(

Flogging Molly is playing in Croatia this September.
And I'll probably get to hear them for only five bucks. :P
Guess who's playing in Brisbane next February? :P
HAHAHAHAHA I'M GETTING THE FREAKING TICKETS! :D
Lawl guys. I guess we need a thread to post our pics in so you can see my "muscles" xD

GUESS WHO IS GOING WITH HIM!!! :D
His mum?
I am, he just doesn't know it yet. :P
Ash, you're welcome to start a "member pictures" thread, I'd do it in the backroom I think.
That sounds rather shady Jubal, Ash showing off his muscles in the backroom...
I know, but it's probably a mild improvement on him showing them off at the bar. :P
Or showing them off at my house... ;D
Changed my hairstyles 4 times this year. ;D
This was the last one.

The new one is a real undercut. :)
Transfer that SW's post the pictures thread pls.
Any1 else feeling awkward that Jubal wants "muscles" in the "back room"?
Hehehehehe no :D
Awkward? No. Expected? Yes. ;)
Oh trust LH to get all giggly around muscles. :P
Pity I have none to show off. :D
I don't have any either (just a bit of biceps from working with my father) but I'm working on it, not much else to do here in this god forsaken place anyway.
Awww but you dont need muscles PG :D You have other great attributes ;)
Ouch PG. You just got politely burned by your lady friend. :o
Haha she's quite good at that. :P
I wasn't burning him. I was just referring to something else.....
...Not bad. :) At least your not one of those fat people with a beard. :D
What's wrong with fat people with beards. I always wanted to be one of them.

So be quiet for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!

It seems to be a year for epiphanies somehow. I'm waiting on mine...
like how american coaches and ex-stars pointed fingers and accused other nations athletes or taking drugs and yet no one questioned whether or not the nation, which has been involved in more than its fair share of drugs scandals, had been cheating
hell the french accused team GB track cyclists of cheating with rounder wheels lol
Interestingly, the most high profile finger point the Brits did in the games was one of our male discus throwers who said the Belarussian female discus thrower looked as if she'd been on drugs. She went and got the gold medal, he had to make an unreserved apology on twitter.
He turned out to be completely correct, Belarus has now had the gold medal removed after a drugs test was failed. :P
You got something wrong, Croatia got gold in female discus throw and no1 was disqualified cause of drugs...
Edit: I realy like how coaches screwed Spain in basketball finals so USA's "dream team" gets gold
Sorry, it was shotput, my bad.

Yes, the Spanish team was a real surprise.
They really gave USA a run for their money.
Meh Australia went pretty poorly this year, apparently because this was the first year in a long time where our Olympic team had no sports psychologists.
Guess who's doing a psychology course which finishes in three years time? :P Methinks I sees a job opportunity a-lying ahead.

Woops, judges, not coaches
It's a shame how in last quarter they basicly gave the victory to USA by some fishy decisions.
Back to my point about how out of all the competing countries, america has the best means of cheating and getting away with it
There were quite a variety of bad decisions at times - that poor South Korean fencer who had the clock reset to one second instead of having it stopped at the end of her fight. In the extra second, the opponent won, and the referee refused to give the Korean the win.
Same was in judo, our female competitor only lost cause her first opponent was defending gold from last olympics so her throw, which was same as the one our competitor did, was somehow worth 1 point more...

*sigh* USA has population of 300mil and wants to compare to countries with less than 1/4 of that. Also, it's sad that countries like Croatia with population of 4.5 mil dominate USA in water polo(we got gold :P) and handball
And this is why I prefer the Exilian Games to the Olympics any day. :P

According to this logic China and India would always get at least three times as many medals as the US, since they have populations of around 1.2 to 1.3 billion. ;)
Haters gonna hate.
And Australia would be screwed every Olympics, not just this one. :P

You are both silly, the USA does well because its pours a metric ton of cash into its athletes.
India is to poor for that and China? I don't know, maybe they only focus on certain parts of major cities? Maybe they lack opportunities?

yet they still lose to third world countries. Guess money can't buy skills.
Enough with the Olympics, just got news that I'll be going home ten days later than I planed :S
Well, there is also culture as a major aspect, and conditions.
East Africa, for example, has a strong culture of long distance running and the perfect training conditions, neither of which the US has, so any money the US puts into distance stuff will be swallowed by making up that deficit. India does badly at the Olympics partly because it spends less money, but mostly because India's primary sporting focus is cricket, which isn't even an Olympic event, and India doesn't have a culture of and doesn't care about many Olympic sports so much.
They do ok with hockey (dry) and shooting I think.
Yesh, but they do comparatively badly overall given their population size; there must be a ton of untapped athletics potential across the subcontinent.
each medal regardless of gold silver or bronze cost team GB £4.2 million when funding since Beijing is taken into account
Just to get the ball rolling, does anyone do voluntary work? Tomorrow I'm off to do English class (just in case, I believe I write better than I type, so don't worry about my student learning l33t and armadillo :D )
I'm not sure whether my current radio job is paid work or not. It might be volunteer, which stinks because it's a lot of work. I'm probably putting more effort into that than my tenis coaching. :P
WHAT!! They had better pay you!! I will have to go see them if they don't!!!
Waddayamean you don't know if it's paid or not?! Do you receive hard cash at the end of the day/week/month?
He only just started. Last friday was his first one. I thought he did a good job :) I'm very proud of him.
Yeah I find out this Friday I guess. ;)

It sounds like he liked the pay. :P
So I'm watching night angels youtube videos, and I have realised two things. Firstly, you sir are portugaling strange. I like this. Secondly, I should really be asleep.
LOL, I bet we are all strange to each other in some way or another. Being in different parts of the world doesn't help either.
Being "normal" is boring.
No one is normal and if some rare specimen is then they're weird for being so normal.
Doesn't this place have a citizens only area? Like the boozer but only for citizens. I'm sure I posted there recently. Or at least saw it. And now I can't find it. Baffling.
Well this place is just booming... (Exilian)
To be fair, compared to March we're still on over double the posting rate.
And I'm back. Yay.
But like always 99.9% of that is in the game section. :P
Glad you're back.
And we seem to have picked up a handful of fairly active people in the last few months. I'd say we're doing alright really.
Maybe I'm just being pessimistic.
oh jubal have you heard?
I think we all tend to be pessimistic at times. I certainly don't see much in the way of irreversible decline or anything.
Exilian has been remarkably resilient compared to other similar sized or larger communities, I'd say. I mean, look at TW heaven, they've dwindled a lot in the last four years.
And have I heard what?
He was just asking if you were deaf perhaps?
Perhaps it's a spelling mistake and he meant, "Have you herd?" In which case he's asking if Jubal has any groups of herbivorous ungulates hanging around.
Comrade General has herd of Cows With Guns, I'm rather less fortunate in my heaps of herbivores.
oh it was my understanding that everyone had heard
What am I supposed to have heard, dammit?
You can't HEAR stuff here, you can only READ it.

The first post.
yay, I got to spend 1 evening at home, I'm thrilled
and damn, this forum looks so much better on 22" monitor than on my phone
Have you been using your phone since you started here??
nah, just last month and a half since I'm back
I always spend my whole summer in middle of nowhere so I use my phone to stay in contact with civilization
Civilization = Exilian. :)
you sure? this place is sometimes quieter than a graveyard
Absolutely positive, 100%. :)
And what's more civilised than a graveyard?
Exactly. What if we just left our dead out in the sun to rot? :P
If you genuinely want to see dead sites I can point you at plenty. A lot of sites I used to look up to as big and active we've now outlasted.
dealing with dead members of the group is the first sign of civilization, so yes a graveyard is very civilized.
considering I resurrected myself after like year and a half and all the people that were active when I left are still here, except CN2, yeah, Exilian is active and resistant
That's called immortality rather than death.
Put it this way; you die now, get resurrected in 2150. If you're surrounded by the same people from 2012 and they all talk to you, that's because they've hugely increased their longevity. If you're surrounded by the same people and they're all buried, or skeletons, that's a graveyard. ;D
A word of wisdom, do not try Adnam's Explorer. Its like a homebrew gone wrong.
haha you loved it really
I'm pretty sure it tastes better than absinthe I drank in Spain. It really was a bad idea to drink something that consists of 89.9% alcohol, 10% water and 0.1% of green colour and some flavor you can't realy taste cause all you feel is alcohol burning your tongue, lungs and intestents.
Absinthe is amazing, possibly my favorite drink
I'm more into elderflower cordial, myself. :P
elderflower cordial and absinthe? that could work
Everything works with absinthe, believe me. And it always has the same taste, even if you add just a few drops.
Ashanorath and I have the experience. We've mixed all kinds of stuff.
3 drops of absinthe put in 3dl of beer makes beer taste and smell more like absinthe then beer.
Tell you what, do not, I repeat, DO NOT have a whole bottle of bourbon in one go.
Especially if you've been having shots of ouzo beforehand (I DON'T EVEN FREAKIN' LIKE LICOURICE!).
And I don't mean a little bottle either, it was this exactly (http://tweetstore.com/static/uploads/whalesalad/2011-08-16/jim_beam_white.jpeg). I collapsed about twenty minutes after skulling it all. Good lord but it hurt in the morning.
Same happened to me after 2.5dl of a mix that contained:
beer, vodka, dalmatino(liquer), blacky(liquer), red vine(2 tipes), white vine, kruskovac(pear liquor or schnapps dunno), 2 types of orange juice, cola, jegermaister and maybe something else. Next thing I remember after drinking that is waking up in my bed next morning. I don't remember how and when I got home although it's 45 walk to my house and my friends told me I was with them for at least an hour and a half. Oh, and I had my one and only hangover that time.
i love it that you put jagermeister with orange juice and cola.
Yeah xD totaly forgot about it so I put it last.
I dislike alcohol.
I've never been drunk...
there is always a first...
Try it once, then you'll probably never do it again. It's like purposefully making yourself feel like armadillo, when I know you already do half the time.
I pretty sure that I already told my story. The story about 6 guys who drank all the alcohol that was left in a recently closed bar?
I woke up drunk after I passed out at my home.
Never again.
My post dissapeared, stupid phone :S.
That mix I drank was a dare. I usualy drink only gin-tonic and rum-cola. What can I say, classics rule. I sometimes drink beer but I don't realy enjoy it and it makes me go to toilet every 20 minutes to drain the armadillo.
I do not recommend getting drunk on mead. Mead is fantastic and all, but it's so sweet that if you drink too much you start feeling sick. You don't feel so hungover in the morning as simply nauseous.
Same is with cherry brandy. Feels like you're drinking a simple cherry juice and you end up drunk and nautious cause of way too much sugar.
Like comerade_general.
Oh, forgot to mention that, when I was in Budapest, I was drinking on empty stomach so I got a bit drunk and fell asleep(more like passed out) in bus while we were heading home. I ended waking up locked inside the bus since I was 3 seats behind the driver and every1 else was at the back end of the bus so noone woke me up when we came to hotel. I had to open the drivers window and jump out of it to leave the bus.
There were keys in the bus but starting the bus to open the doors would probably get me in a lot of trouble so jumping out of the window was better.
Haha I can confirm that.
And we bought a bottle of vodka that day. We were going to split it.
I got tired of searching for him, but I heard that they saw him in the bus on the way to hotel.
Our professor was an asshole and he didn't let us go out to find him.
So I ended up drinking that bottle of vodka all by myself. :P
And we somehow managed to break the elevator.
I swear, I saw two guys in a shopping cart going up and down in that elevator.
We broke and fixed the elevator the day before too. And I even remember who was sitting in the shoping cart but I don't know who was pushing him.
I know who was pushing the cart. :P
I don't think we've ever taken the notion of a booze up so seriously here.
Well, there's nothing else to talk about. My bowyer career is at a halt untill I get home so I got nothing to do.
Point taken.
Bleh, life feels crap at the moment.
then get drunk. go to the pub tonight and get wasted
I still don't recommend it, but I'd like to see a drunk-off-his-ass-Jubal. ;D
Armadillo-faced Jubal, just imagine that.
I don't have a message of drunken-ness for you, alas. I just have a message of friendship as brought to you by a squirrel and a raccoon;

I still have that Exilian skype conference on my mind.
Any ideas? Do you have any free time on your hands?
I'm partially free somewhere around 12. of September, and completely free after 22.
Maybe we could organize something after all.
I'm for it. (http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee379/gizmobrown/pacalo_smilies/smiley_goofy.gif)
Anything after 12th is good for me. Unless something comes up.
Everyone post their time zones. Some of us still go to school so we need to work out a time the works for everyone.
EDIT: Mine is AEST (10+)
EST currently at -4 while DST is in effect.
PG?? What is ours?
UTC+01:00 for Ash and me. Or at least I think so.
One hour ahead of Jubal, in any case.
And you Aussies are 8 hours ahead of us. (just a rough estimate from experience) :P
West Australia is +8:00 UTC
South Austsalia and western territory is +9:30 UTC
Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory is +10:00 UTC
at least I think it is
And USA is -9:00 to -5:00 from west to east.

Damn I need to make another film this Winter...
Tonight's made me think about how much things have changed since I signed up almost two years ago.
Cal, Goldy, Dimos, Hopit and Debux aren't quite the regular faces I used to see, although we must be thankful Debux has returned to us. :P But where we have lost, so too have we gained with SotK's clones and Khan's disciples... Such is the great circle of forum life I guess.
But the biggest changes I think, CG's no longer ORANGE! And Jubal's no longer a trireme! Why is this!?
This is about as philosophical as I get I'm afraid. :P

@Ash, man I wish I had at least your motivation to make a bow... I guess I'll postpone my 'till next summer... again *sigh* I hate living in a semi-arid climate (as if that would be an excuse good enough :P )
And if anyone cares... I'm GMT -3 or -4... couldn't really make out if I'm still on Daylight saving time or not (according to our current government yes, but according to greenwichmeantime.com, I still have to wait until October. But I'm all in for the meeting, especially if it's between the 15th and the 23rd (long live our national independence day! ;D )
Well, I had nothing else to do and I had that plank laying around. I hope to make the real one once I get back home.
You should have taken pics, BTW... at least pics of how it broke ;D
I was making it at a friends place and my phone was dead. I'll ask him if he has some pics of the leftovers.

High five!
No, no, no. You got it wrong. It's Wi-Five. ;D
Looks like Exilian be boring in this time o' year. C'mon lads, get talking.
The opening ceremony is now up! ;D
Can I still sign up for screenshot contests?
Yes, but please do so asap.
As sexy as possible?
Why? ???
Cos Jubals a horny beast?
K, I'm on it. Sry, I just found out that I'll actualy spend few days at home this week.
Listening to the US Open tennis final on the radio coverage. Very, very tense indeed.
Radio...?
What year is it? :P
I have no visual coverage available, no TV channels that have it plus it's blocked on the web.
I have no TV. ;D
(http://themavesite.com/TMS-Pictures/Epic/Memes/CerealGuySpit.png)
At least tell me that it's on-line radio.
@Khan I got tv, I need it to play ps2.
I listen to music on FM 97.5 :)
Hewonhewonhewon! Eeee! :)

*11/09/2012
2012?
that is todays date no?
You cannot dent my patriotism. :P
I still don't get all the fuss about 9.11.
It happened 11 years ago, maybe we should let bygones be bygones or smthig like that.
I think that the "Never forget" slogan just makes the person who organized it proud(in some sick way).
Also, I didn't see any saying 3.11. or 1.12. (and I guess most ppl don't even know what happened on those dates).
9.11. does have all that terrorism thing behind it but other dates I mentioned influence me more than 9.11. does.
I guess few countries do patriotism quite like the US does. The British are patriotic, but in a much more... relaxed way. We take the piss out of our own nationalism in a way America doesn't seem to quite understand, and we don't understand their more clearly fervent devotion to their country in the same way.
I don't think 9/11 is "not worth the fuss", and it's not unfair that it's still a major wound for the US in its national psyche. I can see an argument that the prominence the US gives to it gives its enemies more incentive to try and twist the same knife, though.
I know you guys just don't understand, and that's OK. :P
So when does a new Booze Up thread start?
One hundred and four posts after this one. ;)
So at 1010 posts? ;D

you're writing with words...?
omg what is this a library you're so old fashioned
Well, I think that after 11 years it should be a scar, not a wound.
leave the wound open and the adrenaline keeps pumping and american political figures can use it as justification
Do you Croats consider, say, the shelling of Dubrovnik to be a wound or a scar, out of interest?
America has been historically un-used to being attacked on its on soil which probably increased the shock of it all.
attacked on its own soil by foreigners you should say, they have plenty of wounds from gun rampages by american citizens
I consider that a scar and I think that most young people (up to 30) consider it a scar. I like to get over things not drag them around forever. Although there are lots of people who will never get over it either cause they lost some1 in war or cause they were in the army fighting for independence.
The wound isn't open, we remember it to honor the people we lost, for the bravery the men and women of this country showed that day. It was a wake-up call for us, and it is sad that it took something like that to bring us all together, but it did. On every September 11th we can all put aside our differences, and raise the flag of the United States of America, and remember who we are. Just because we remember that day, doesn't mean we remember the hatred and blood-lust that we felt. The picture I posted showed nothing of war or mindless rage. It just means that I love this country, and I want everyone to know it.
Eh, whatever. Some1 get me some booze. Is this booze up or not?
The best scene from the best Resident Evil movie.
(just noticed that we have youtube links again)
What should I take to work for lunch? I'm feeling like some japanese stuff.
Scampi. Buckets and buckets of scampi.
Sea urchin
Hmmmm I do like scampi, but I can't cook anything at work and I've never tried reheating it in a microwave. And that would be an expensive lunch.
Sea urchin I have never tried and wouldn't know where to buy or how to cook it.
Sushi?
Oh CG, how does it feel to have to say the same thing every year? :P
It's not easy being green.
Any1 got booze or should I bring my own?

This picture makes me a happy SotK.
No gin?
I like what I see. :D
Remember Stormcloud's old Avatar? With the drink. ;D
guessing you dont want to take chicken to work lol
and in other news im moving to portsmouth tomorrow to start my palaeontology degree!
About the conference?
What do you say 'bout lets say... Tomorrow?
I was in Portsmouth last Saturday. ;D
is that the fatter american version?
Actually it's a grand old city, located near a Hopewell culture site that dates back about 1,500 to 2,000 years. You can see the history of the whole area in the 2,000 foot-long murals that are painted on the flood levy: http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/563784404rKbotj?start=0
They even once had their own professional (American) football team (now the Detroit Lions), who managed to beat the Greenbay Packers with only 11 men on the team - that's every guy playing offense and defense for every second of the game.
:)
Curse you and your pre-emptive brackets preventing me from making a snarky comment about how there are meant to be only 11 men in a football team. Curse you.
Been watching videos of different covers of songs on YT all day and working on some actual songs of my own.
Should I post some sometime?
Totally!
5,000! :)
I do believe you may be catching up with me. :P
No takers for ad space I assume CG? :P
Watch out D, I've booked a place on an open day near you. I should probably book some more before they're fully booked (already too late for bristol and nottingham it seems.)
do tell me when your coming down i can show you around

Dear god that trailer looks baaaaaad. Thats not the hobbit, wtf is that?
Well, that trailer sure can get someone pumped up to see it... I'm going to have to read the hobbit again though, I can't remember almost anything (What's the "MERP" they keep mentioning in the comments?)
awesome, im in lesson from 12 till 2 so ill try to see you sometime before or after then
@debux Pumped up for a film that looks nout like the hobbit. Bilbo is supposed to be a bit timid but badman in a secretive, sensible badman way. Looks to me like its a book which is not mega epicness turned into a film which is mega epicness. The non mega epicness is partly why I love the hobbit.
@sketface, 12 till 2? Dear god you slacker! Do you normally have lectures on a saturday?
It's okay.
Not exactly the way I imagined it, but okay nonetheless.

(What's the "MERP" they keep mentioning in the comments?)
Perhaps "Middle earth role play", which was a mod for TES IV: Oblivion.
But I doubt that it has anything to do with this...
I suspect it'll be a good film, I don't know how much they'll get the feel of the book but I suspect I'll enjoy it anyway. To be fair they've probably gone for the most epic bits for the trailers just to get people more pumped up.
I very much hope so.

This.
@pent: woops have my timetable on google calender and misread the 5th as the 6th, so yeah i could see you any time that day
And in other news I'm supposed to be attending an open day at edinburgh tomorrow, which would mean leaving today. Naaaaaah.

Middle-Earth Roleplaying Project (http://www.moddb.com/mods/merp-middle-earth-roleplaying-project). They got issued a C&D letter, because companies hate epic looking mods apparently...
Ooooh, that's right! I had forgotten that deal. Gotta hate big corporations that try to get their evil hands in the wonderful world of gaming. For me, EA has ruined so many great franchises...
I absolutely loathe EA. "Oh, here's a game. Actually, we only sold you half a game there, you have to pay for and download the rest as DLC. Oh, and don't expect us to stop there, we'll add more DLC and 2Gb updates every other week until your hard drive is so clogged you physically cannot fit another save game on there." Then there's also their "Oh, you bought a PREOWNED game? well, I guess now we aren't stealing any money which should go to the actual developers, so lets make you pay additional money for an 'online pass' or else you won't be able to actually play a key part of the game." I sound a little bitter, but I think there's reason enough there...
Ever tried playing new ubisoft games offline? To actualy start the game to play it offline you need to be online to get past the drm. So playing on laptop with no net is imposible cause you can't get past their protection.

I fell much the same way about the Apple brand.
Apple make some good quality products, but then charge WAY too much for them and are close to a 1984 government with the restrictions they put on usage. They also seem too fond of patent lawsuits at the moment. :P

They can't help it, they're only French.
Well, they wasted so much money on their protection sistem and it was hacked in like 10 days. Now they keep forcing it everywhere even though it's useless. It just makes people who actualy bought the game have hard time playing it. It's even worse with M&M heroes 6. You need to be online to get your hand on some artifacts so singleplayer game is harder if played offline. I like ubisoft and their games, but things like that just kill the gameplay. They kinda made a mso (masive SINGLEplayer online) which is imho ridiculous.
*bump*
Bumping the Booze Up? :(
Anyone read about the modding summit? Sorry to spam around, but I really loved reading about this... I can't wait to see the results of these new announced tools!

What? What has slowed down?

there was no post in here for 4 days, thats pretty dire
We've had longer runs, and posting activity has been not so bad elsewhere.
And OH MY GOD SOFA.
Happy Birthday to Star Trek: The Next Generation! ;D

My tip of the day, don't buy "Fine" calvados from Lidls. Bluuuugh. And if you do, mixing it with cider is the only way to drink it, unless you want to get portugaled off your tits.
Edit:
Today I learnt that Botulinum toxin is so potent 400g of it would be enough to kill the entire human population of this planet.
wait so people inject an incredibly deadly neurotoxin into their bodies just to look younger/plastic
Mother of God. Human stupidity has just blown my mind.
since you are talking about poisons, cyanide and happiness

Yep, the guy lecturing did mention one incident of a man who had a "botox party" but the dumbass instead of getting proper botox (which is either just a very small dose or a different molecule made from the botulinum toxin) instead got hold of toxin samples usually used for labwork. Don't think anyone died, but his girlfriend was paralyzed for a good few years. It does have some more useful uses though, its used to cure various problems caused by muscle spasms.
The lethal dose of that stuff is in milligrams. 20 grams, correctly applied, could wipe out the population of Great Britain with plenty to spare.
Today I did matriculation - the official ceremony of joining my college. It's all pretty awe-inspiring stuff. And I have a gown, which is rather snazzy.
Who is this guy?
Spoiler
Good to see you. :)
...You? Smiley face? Bilbo? John Doe? how are we meant to know?
(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwllig8Yhe1qhwaxg.png)
Actually the lethal dose is in nanograms Jubal. Cong dancing rats on your free gown (it was free right?) and the ceremonious stuff.
Sadly not free, but I'm glad to have it anyway. :P
I'm less glad to have a reading list a page and a half long and a 2000 word essay for Tuesday.
What! They want you to write an essay for yesterday? :P
*next* Tuesday. (Timing here is tight, but not quiiiiite so bad it's into negatives).
So is everyone off doing something else for the time being?
I've been wasting a large amount of my life and working the rest of it. Hoping to cut down on the wastage soon, but not managing to feel awfully mentally positive about life in general.
You're in college, all you should be doing is school work and wasting life. ;)
ive been doing uni work and wasting life on steam, does that count?
I got my licence!!! :D
