>.> so you chose to insult me rather then look it up for me? what kind of friend are you? D:>

oh right. cookie. here *throws cookie at!* x3; now test your faith... the cookie will contain one of two items... cyanide... or... a large dose of viagra choose wisely... XD if it's the latter you can borrow DD's inflatable sheep *shot by DD*

...i am so sorry DD XD i've cursed you for the next half decade... aaan duke, my friends who can wire money generally aren't the legal kind. it's more like a friend from school in london who has an uncle who has connections... it's really not something i could get easily but i know he would do it for me if i needed it o.o but yah chances are something like that i wouldn't do unless my life depended on it and i REALLY needed a lot of money fast... aaaaand my furc friends would happily spend money on me, but not a lot. i could ask one of them for the cd for christmas... but it's kind of late now. not to mention i already put it on my christmas list...

adidas ad = fail. to watch the ad you have to join the site. screw that >_> the wii vids made me laugh. seen the first one before... but it still looks kinda staged. i mean the fact she's just like "...oops..." i somewhat doubt that someone would react like that. either that or five seconds after the cam turned off she killed that kid o.o; teslas were good too :3 kind of like those christmas houses only more geeky XD anyhow thanks for the info duke!

XD those pictures were epic... but lul, the "unique" demotivator really applies to me... >>; i'm sure you'd all agree XD

not a bad tree bio ^^ looks a lil thin xD but it's a nice one :3 also... bonnie isn't really "evil", nor is clyde... clyde is VERY silly and happy... they both sleep a lot of the time, and clyde LOVES attention. he likes cuddles and is one of those kitties that you can pick up or carry and he'll hang there like a ragdoll xD bonnie on the other hand... when she was a kitten i kinda dropped her >_> so she's scared of heights and being held ._.; she doesn't mind being held for short periods, and as she grows she's becoming more accepting... but she's real jumpy a lot :\ they are pretty much both happy peaceful cats. the only time they scratch or bite is if they get carried away whilst playing or if they are really scared (and that's only in the process of getting away. like when i was holding clyde and mom turned on the vacuum and he backflipped out of my arms with his claws out and left a 3" gash on my tummy and a permanent scar on my hand x3; ) i know he didn't mean it, he just panicked and ran >>;; the only time they purposely do anything evil is if they want feeding and you've been ignoring their other signs for a good 20 minutes o.o; as if the climbing onto you and staring in your face or constantly mewing wasn't good enough xD they worked out they can get food from mom if they go to jump ontop of the tv (in the photo besides the tree) or if they stretch on the puzzle mat on the table and start to pull everything off XDDDD

the christmas lights at the top? XD it's cute but it's not exactly going all out to flash-up the forum is it? x3; aaaanyway. all my shopping is done, as i think i said previously. however i STILL haven't wrapped everything up. i really need to do that cos it's my mom's birthday in less then a week >_>; i wouldn't mind new year's but everyone drinks wine and champagne. i really don't like that. if i'm gonna be drinking i want vodka or alchopops (for those who don't know, alchopops are basically energy booze. such as WKD and bacardi breezer... they are aimed at the "young" generation by having alcohol which is flavoured in fancy tastes. they usually have lots of sugar or caffeine too... you generally get very drunk and very hyper, very quickly xD)
-
yah that's what i'm talking about xD; most of the people who have posted have old cars that probably don't even meet safety specs nowadays o-O but yah i don't drive. nor does mom. we can't afford to have a car, we'd have nowhere to keep it and generally it's just impractical for us. it works out better to get the bus...
-
okie i'm gonna try to keep this as short as possible (ha! XD) mace? lordie no. like i said, non-lethal defences such as rubber bullet rifles and things... it's all fair and dandy giving people guns... but if you give everyone a gun do you really think people won't mess with them and use them? not to mention if you give guns to people that haven't had much experience with them may end up shooting themselves or other passengers... i mean it would be good if during a terrorist attack all the passengers had guns... but you can bet it would end in a lot of casualties on both sides. passengers would shoot themselves or try to go against the terrorists and discover at a bad time what a safety catch is. unless you mean keeping all the guns stored away incase of a "situation" and everyone had been told how to use them at the start of the flight then maybe... but remembering that there probably would be some kind of legal issues involved, especially if there is an accident like someone shoots themselves or a civvie shoots another civvie... and y'know, we'd all rather miss out on the delays of security checks... but the fact is these checks regually catch criminals out. drug runners, wanted escapees, and the occassional nut who plans on pulling something... among other types. face it, security checks are a necessary evil. we may not like them but they keep out 99% of the people who would screw with our lives... yah it's a pain... but if we didn't have airport security checks everything in our way of life could be destroyed. and i mean that literally... for all we know someone could bring in an animal or plant-based disease which could destroy the enviroment (the simpsons, aussies and bullfrogs anyone? XD it happens...) and quite frankly i'd rather run the risk of being delayed for a while then some nutball with a knife suddenly jumping out of his seat and stabbing loads of people. even if it's not a terrorist, just some guy carrying a bowie knife. ...i'd rather not run the risk...

Extinguishers banned as a fire safety hazard

engrish.com is a pretty reliable site i know that much. all the photos sent in get studied and proved either real or fake... some of the things on there are amazing xD but hand grenade... XD where the heck did they even get that from? o-O but eh whatever x3; all i know is if you are gonna have fire extinguishers in the house you need to be taught basic fire safety otherwise you're more a danger to yourself then an aid o.o; -
sonic has a pretty good track record. been some dodgy shows and stuff... but it's all still watchable and playable... i never much got into watching the shows though besides one of the original series o.o had a lot of other kids shows that i watched when i was younger x3
-
...yah, this is why they PUT THE REQUIRED INFORMATION INTO THE CELLS WHEN CREATING IT x-x it's possible that just taking the DNA from a partner's bones or whatever might work and might only allow them to create the same gender, but think about it. we can already do test tube babies. if you can choose what gender you want a test tube baby to be, you can sure as hell add the DNA needed to have the other gender o.o but y'know... chances are that gay/lesbian couples wouldn't want an opposite gender kid anyway o.o; don't get me wrong if they had one i'm sure they'd love one equally... but they would be able to relate more with a child of the same gender... i can relate to some extent and i've had a few homosexual friends who have said the same thing to me n_n;

i like some of metallica's old stuff... but yaaaaah. i really have to be in a certain kind of mood to be able to listen to metallica. most of my other music i can listen to in most, if not all, moods... -
i second that question and i'm too lazy to look it up! :3

house i've never gotten around to watching. i keep missing when they show the first episode and i don't wanna watch it from into the series. but from the adverts and what i've heard and read, it's a good series. i would like to watch it if i get the chance... personally i like medical mumbo jumbo. it shows that people have actually done research on the situation when scripting o.o also i am interested in medical things anyway so most of the time i know what they are talking about (to some extent) can't go wrong with hugh laurie :3 also i dunno about fringe. they overly-exaggerated it before it came out here... saying that it was like the early x-files and i got really excited. fringe never really got me hooked as much... but at least it's a half-assed attempt at making a good series, so it's better then a lot of the crud out there now x3;

mormreed, once again you make my brain hurt... yes, leonard nimoy -IS- jewish (well, born to ukranian jewish parents...) but SPOCK isn't. i highly doubt james T kirk is jewish either xD i'm guessing that is some random comedy or musical quote but eh... we finally got around to putting up the tree tonight! ^o^ (started at about 11pm. whooo XD) sorry luk3us, me and mom are VERY perfectionist. but we aren't gonna be a "deck the halls" style family who do up the whole house inside and out... last year we maxed out and had balloons and paper chains around the living room with the tree. this time it's just the tree. i'm probably gonna make my room look fancy with the remaining tinsel and decorations that we have x3; the actual tree. it's a plastic and metal one with fold out branches (and each individual branch is wire so you can do what you like with them) though as per normal, the little metal stand is a pain to set up. it's a really overly complex multiple-part stand which i've complained to mom for the past half decade about it not working. she however, has chosen to ignore me until now. thus i spent about an hour coming up with a unique solution that involved using a strip of cork left over from putting edging on the laminate in another room xD (once again with my MacGyverisms) aaanyway. also cats tis clyde... aaaand a rather rare photo of my other cat; bonnie! :3 i didn't notice until i actually uploaded it, but on her tag my phone number was rather obviously visible so i had to rub it out in photoshop x3; probably could have gotten away with it but i'd rather not take chances with you people >->

o.O well you're gonna need msn. so add me or whatever >-> i'm on pretty much all the time too (except when i'm passed out because i've stayed up for multiple days without sleep. then i end up sleeping between 9 - 20 hours straight o.O; )

eeeeeyah but look at that though. that's an article on an article where some guy said something o.O; it's not really very reliable. it just can't happen... but then again... the fact that EA is LOSING OUT on a good $400m net income... EA might panic and if disney makes a really generous offer, EA could turn and go "oooh! JAAAACKPOT ^-^" and cash in... but it just sounds too stupid to be true. why on earth would disney want EA? EA -DO- make a lot of successful games and they make pretty much every type of game... but let's face it, EA isn't exactly that popular at the moment. for all we know this could be the best thing that ever happened in gaming. stranger things have happened... we all know disney can MILK MILK MILK when they want to. considering they've been pumping out movies since tv came about... new movies, re-editting and releasing older movies... all the merchandise... disneyland and so on. you put all those amazing small EA game making groups who have produced good things and put them under disney. could turn out very well. i say we just sit this one out and watch it. whatever happens it'll be lulworthy

eeeeyaaaaah. one problem there... completely different creatures in every way. and i'm not just talking about the infected bosses. the infected "zombies" are 28 days later style, NOT romero style zombies... also there is RE5 coming out soon. why should we need mods? if you really wanted a mod for it one could probably be made for HL2, using the slow headcrab zombie AI but with a different graphic model and skin... and using the director as an engine for the game. but then you have the problem of the fact it would be HL2 gameplay, NOT 3rd person top down view with crappy camera angles and a backpack which you can open and view. but i'm pretty sure the mod brainbread for HL1 (and i think there was a HL2 version released too...) they had a minibackpack similar idea... if you're gonna make a resi evil mod you have to go the whole way. i mean you could just remodel the current characters as RE characters... but let's face it, it wouldn't be RE and it wouldn't make a darn bit of sense with characters who are either active in different periods or haven't met anytime soon... i guess in theory you could just crank down the horde's speed so they are slow... change all the boss-infected into various RE critters like lickers and tyrants and so on... but there are just too many factors to change. if you slowed the zombies down the game dynamics would completely change. if tony todd can pwn a dozen zombies in hand to hand combat with ease, how long do you think 20 zombies would last against four heavily armed survivors? o.o; that's the reason why L4D is going to succeed and remain popular for a looooong time after it becomes outdated, whereas games with slow moving zombies will fall into time. you can't make a game which has slow, stupid enemies when you can have anything from a crowbar to an assault rifle... it's just too easy. even if you were alone and you got swarmed in every direction and you had no ammo... all you have to do is run in one direction whilst hitting out and you'll just get straight through the crowd :\ why would you even want resi evil though? XD i know it's good and all but it's not the final word on zombies... also in the later years the franchise has been getting kinda mutilated >_> like RE4 and the movies... haven't played umbrella chronicles but it sounded promising. let's hope RE5 is better o-o

meeeeh the only good console RTS's i've seen so far have been the three C&C games for PS1... maybe the N64 version, i haven't played that. cut out the video scenes but it's all proper 3d graphics o-o; but yah the PS1 C&C's had it right. you didn't have to use silly button combinations to do all the things on the control panel or to select units or whatever. you just use the D-pad to move the cursor and X to select aaaand the O button to cancel. the shoulder buttons to make teams an stuff... that was easy to do (though not as fast as a mouse, it was very easy to use...) eeeeeh yah it wasn't the interrogation i had a problem with (though now you mention it, i am against it...) but my irritation is that with a lot of the shows on at the moment... in that they make a good show then they just completely and utterly milk it. i mean i can completely understand it, it's become popular and EVERYONE wants it to go on forever... but it just winds me up. "24" was originally just that. 24 hours... now it's what, a good 5+ days total? there is only so much constant intense action that can happen to one person in a stream... why would you use a tv for a monitor though? oO; compy monitors can usually get a much better resolution and quality... they are just usually smaller. but let's be honest you really don't need a computer monitor bigger then 21" and that is a big'un... if it's gonna be huge it might as well be further away cos otherwise you'd be too close and everything would just be too oversized o-O but yah, as i've said before i like being able to update and mod my pc and games...

everyone likes the PS3 because it's a cheap blu-ray player. that is the primary reason o.o; an actual blu-ray player would probably cost nearly twice as much as a PS3... maybe more... it does have a few good games but the blu-ray is definately the primary reason for it. my dad actually bought one just for that purpose o.o; i've been considering the same... but yah generally anything you can do on a console you can do on a pc better (if you're willing to fork out the money to do so...) problem is, like i've said previously, is that consoles are slowly turning into pc's... i mean now look at them. you can go online. on msn. you have harddrives... you can even network them with your pc o.o;

different take on cnc movie
Mina Synd replied to ICECOLDKILLA's topic in Command & Conquer: General Discussion
eeeeh maybe. but if it were a starcraft fan movie (which has probably already been done) would probably be in korean xD ... also; wut? -
well it wouldn't -get- the RROD again if you modded it. the reason it gets the red lights is because the fan is too small to properly cool inside the device. so it overheats if you play it for too long... in the end this simply burns out the harddrive. if you put in a bigger fan, it stays cool then it won't overheat. and even if you mod it you can still send it back to microsoft - they just might charge you for it. because let's be honest there is no other way to fix the internal processors and such without having microsoft replace them. i guess in theory you could try and track down parts and fix it yourself... but you'd have to be a whizz and actually be able to get the right parts... it would be far easier just to pay microsoft to fix it. besides, if you still got the red light you could just put the old fan back in and send it to them like that, then put the new fan in when you get it back again 83

wow that was so lame. you know WHY it was "dull and repetitive"? because they were trying to make it with as much fun and action but without crossing the limits of what actually happened in the conflicts. they don't have that boundary with CoD4 because it's set in the near future. they could do anything they wanted. it's one reason i don't like it... because it's not FAR future, it's near future trying to create an amazing plot. real life doesn't HAVE amazing action movie plots like that. there is only so much stuff one soldier can do before his/her luck runs out (working by the theory that when you have completed the game it's all technically one life, even though you've done multiple attempts per level to beat it...) one thing i will give CoD4 credit for. the nuke. that was original... the radiation thing... that's never been done before and the visuals were stunning... it was a very good game... but there were no set limits which basically just turns it into a generic action shooter which can become more and more intense as the game progresses, even if it would be simply impossible for the real character to survive that situation o-O
