Hey everyone,

What is the scariest movie you've ever seen?

and what are your fav horror movies in general?

mine is
Exsortist....the very first part I guess shot in 70's

[superpeer]

Blair Witch and The Exorcist are both very good.

[btoto]

I never had a chance to watch Blair Witch but my friends recommend me it, so I try it out.

Also the Call is a great movie. About the tape if you don't remember.
But one of my friends said there is a japanese version of that movie which makes you sh*t in your pants. Right now I looking for that one.

[Armor O'Malley]

Hmm..gone offline, eh :(

Does anyone here have a good knowledge of SBG?

I have it *puts hand up*

[superpeer]

Quickly, tell us what you think about it.

Before Bartender gets online and you go offline. :mad:

Don't you mean 'The ring'?

My favorite foreign film I've ever seen is "Wasabi." Anyone else seen it?

[Armor O'Malley]

Quickly, tell us what you think about it.

Before Bartender gets online and you go offline. :mad:

Umm...it's good. It's quite primative and basic, especially when compared to Death's later albums, similar to Leprosy. Best songs on it IMO would be Zombie Ritual, Denial Of Life and the title track.

[btoto]

Don't you mean 'The ring'?

Ah yeah Exactly! Sorry I watched it in russian language, so I didn't know the name in original :thumb:

[rock not the roll]

:amaze: makes sense to me.

[guitrguy]

Damn, you must be desperate if you're looking for conversation. So, how is everyone on this bright and sunny day? My rugby season started today, so I'm well and truly exhausted at the moment, but it's good to be playing again. My new school is going very well also (apart from German which I'm probably going to be giving up soon). :upset:

Thanks, but what I'm wondering is how many tracks it originally had. My copy is the Century Media re-release, and all it says is that it has "bonus tracks", not how many. There are 14 tracks on it, and online sources have told me that it originally had 10, and that it originally had 12. I'm leaning towards 10, but some outside expertise would be nice :)

Scariest film I've ever seen is Watership Down. Before anyone asks, yes, the animated one with the rabbits. Freaks me out totally, I hate it.

Favourite horror movie I can think of is The Abominable Dr Phibes. Only other person I've found on MX who even knows it is ikik..it's just a really black comedy, with Vincent Price. I like it.

Horror film homework for everyone - go and find a film called There's Nothing Out There!, and watch it, repeatedly. Tons of fun..be prepared for a B-movie though.

That's a point, any other B-Movie fanatics out there?

If some tell you 10, wouldn't that mean that there were originally 10, then 2 added, then another 2 added?

Because if the ones that tell you 10 are wrong, what happened to those 2 tracks, it's unlikely.

Ringu is way scarier than The Ring... it is the Japanese version that The Ring was based on...

Hey Jelle... what age do you have to be to in Belgium to legally buy alcohol?
(Mind if I call you by your name?)

[superpeer]

Sixteen, and no I don't mind. :)

Just make sure you can pronounce it.

[mr snrub]

When I have been away to European countries, I get the impression that as long as you look at least 15 you can get alcohol.

[Riva]

**** man... you have to be 18 in Australia! Oh.. and you can call me Jason, or Steven (my nickname.. it's complicated) if you want. And I think you pronounce it "Gel-ai", which is probably wrong... since I don't speak Flemish.

[superpeer]

Yeah, that's wrong.

It's more something like 'yelluh'

[mr snrub]

It's getting much more harder in England for youngsters trying to get in pubs and stuff, because they ask almost anyone who looks anything close to 18 for ID. Infact it has happened to me in the past, and it is annoying and embarrasing if you are the only person out of a group who gets ID'd...

[superpeer]

They hardly ever do that here, I think.

They'd sell cigarettes to 12 year olds, also.

[Riva]

Yeah.. Australia's had rules making it mandatory to check IDs of anyone who looks in their teens/20s/30s.

But it is easy as hell to buy cigarettes, cos nobody cares about that. And if you are on private property, you can drink no matter what age you are. I'm 17 (nearly 18), but I've talked to the cops while holding a stubby. I just made sure I was on my side of the fence. :thumb:

[mr snrub]

It's getting like that in England now aswell.

[Riva]

Yeah... so anyways... I'm gonna go to that place... where they do the stuff... yeah....

My copy is also the Century Media reissue, and it states that the last four tracks are bonus tracks. So I'm pretty sure that it originally only had ten tracks. The first two bonus tracks are possibly old demo songs, not too sure, studio recorded anyway; and the other two are live recordings so maybe it was originally re-released with the two studio songs, and re-released again with the two live ones.

[Riva]

I was just doing my Advanced Mathematical Techniques module, and a strange though occured to me.

Now, I'm sure you all are aware of the propensity for "n00bs" to create threads which are:

a) Illegal
b) Are carbon copys of the same thread which was done to death an hour ago
c) A hilarious mix of a and b.

Now, if one were to incoporate these into a formula, one would be able to work out the approx. number of pointless threads that the forum will produce each day.

My calculations are something like this:
Let N be the number of idiot threads being made.

Let a be the number of new MX users at any-one time. (Lets say 12)
But, as not all of the new guys are actual "n00bs", then we shall say approx. 2/3 of a are "n00bs".

Now, as everyone knows, as soon as a n00b sees a moderately succesful thread, he has an idea that maybe if he started a thread on the same topic, he too can be succesful. Hence, the amount of N is increased by 60% (multiplied by 1.6) for each moderately succesful thread (T).

Also, the rules are almost never read by n00bs, and even when they are, they tend to ignore them, because "they know better", or "they don't care", or "it's an important question". So the amount of N is reduced by 0 if the n00b hasn't read the rules (R1), and by 5% for each one that has read the rules (R2).


Hence, the formula we have so far is: N = (2a/3 x 1.6T) / 0R1 + 0.5R2


So, for 12 new users, 6 succesful threads and 4 n00bs who haven't read the rules, and 4 n00bs who have, we get the following value for N:

N = 8 x 9.6 / 2 = 38.4, approx. 38 idiot threads a day. It is scary to contemplate, isn't it.

If you have any suggestions on how to improve my formula, feel free. I suck at maths anyway.

[Kingofdudes]

:lol: That is one way to look at it.

[Bartender]

I think I probably suck at maths more than you. I kinda cruised through it all the way up to GCSE level though, just then it suddenly got very difficult. Thankfully I'd dropped it by then, since I always hated the damn subject.

[Riva]

What's the GSCE? Oh, and if anyone's interested, the Forced Listenings up for grabs again.

Yeah, I hate it too, but I have to do it as it's part of my bio-chem course. :(

[Bartender]

GCSE is General Certificate of Secondary Education. First public exam with certification at the end of it in England. I don't even pretend to know the Australian educational system's equivalent, so I'll just say that you take it (normally) at 15/16.

OMG i love that game, i was obsessed hehe. i beat it over the summer again for probley the 20th time. what a great story line, they just dont make games like that anymore.

[halfdeadhippo]

I had it on my emulator, because I couldn't find a copy of it anywhere. The only problem is that the version had a bug in it that wouldn't let me open this one door. It sucks, because I really liked the game up until that point.

[Kingofdudes]

It works on my emulator, I really need to play it again.

They also made a port of Chrono Trigger and FFIV for playstation.

They got them for everything; playstation, gamecube, gameboy advanced, etc.

[Paranoidd]

Yeah, you can emulate pretty much any system (except the very new ones).

I was always found the N64 emulator to be a bit dodgy. It's not much fun if you don't have the same controller. Stupid nintendo and their stupid controller configuration.

I keep forgetting to play fallout! I don't think they sell it here, I'm gonna check e-bay and my download site...

edit: word...fallout 2 on Ebay...for $2.50 :D

Final Fantasy (the original, on cartridge for NES) was probably the most difficult game I ever played. It took forever to finally beat it, and even when I did, I barely scratched by. One tough game.

[Paranoidd]

Bumpige.

[Bartender]

Nice eBay find. Does it says if it's the US or European version?

[Paranoidd]

US according to the seller.

[Bartender]

Alright then. The US version is the better one :)

[superpeer]

Umm, I don't mean to sound stupid, but what is an emulator? :(

[Paranoidd]

An emulator is a computer program that "emulates" a video game system.

for example, ZsNES is a Super NES emulator. It's great, not only can you download pretty much any game (known as a "ROM"), but there are graphics options, sound options, the ability to save/load up to 10 slots at any time, a built in Game Genie, etc, etc, etc. Emulators are great if you love console games but hate collecting the games themselves. Theres Bleem! which emulates playstation, Genecyst for Genesis, etc.

[Dancin' Man]

My frienf had one for N64 and he had Mario Kart.

Anyhoo, I'm back.

[Paranoidd]

The N64 emulator was always dodgy for me, because it only worked with Voodoo chipsets or something at the time, and I've always been NVidia. Plus nobody has a controller like that on their PC (well, probably most people don't).

[Dancin' Man]

Wooowee. Bartender almost passed me on posts in this thread. He was only 1 away when I returned.

[Bartender]

[Paranoidd]

Oh man that game was so dope. I remember playing for 8 hours straight one day. We barely stopped to eat. It was ridiculous.

[Armor O'Malley]

Oh yeh, few years ago I went up to a friends house and we spent all day playing that game. Ya can't beat good old 'one hit kill'.

[Paranoidd]

License to kill! That's what we used to play...with pistols. 0wnige.

Good morning...afternoon...wherever you are.

I'm at work. Whats new?

Just finished listening to the Dream Theather concert cover of the Master of Puppets album. Everyone rocked it, except LaBrie.

Had to bring my stupid guitar into the shop last night. Unbelieveable, that a loose connection is not covered under warranty. The guy didn't charge me any labor though, so I guess that is OK. Still had to pay for the part. I saw this beautiful Epi Semi-hollow there, but it was like three grand and I was too scared to touch it.

The funny thing was seeing this guy who had obviously done too many drugs in his time, stumbling around the store, he couldn't form a proper sentence, his speech was slurred, and the salesman was reluctant to let him try a guitar.

But when he did....holy smokes...the guy was wailing on that thing. Seriously, I don't even think this guy could have tied his shoes by himself, and he was playing some cool stuff. Weird.

I just saw Willard last night (the remake, not the original) and it was great. Not low budget (financed by New Line Cinema, so it cost quite a bit), but it's definitely a B/cult minded movie. And it has Crispin Glover, who's just an awesome actor.

Well it's technically afternoon for me (4:17pm), but I only got up an hour or so ago, so good morning. I'm at home, as I have no work.

I think I saw that Dream Theater thing on eBay a while ago. Is it the Master of Metallica thing?

How much did the part cost?

[Paranoidd]

The part was 6 bucks, but I could have bought strings with that.

I know, I'm a cheap bastard.

The Dream Theater thing is a live cover of the entire MOP album...I just downloaded it and burned it, I usually don't buy something unless I'm sure I'll like it. It's pretty good, Petrucci is on (of course) but LaBrie just doesn't suit the music. His voice lacks high-end but thats due to the recording. Not a bad listen though.

Who doesn't want to hear Myung do Orion?

[Bartender]

Well I could live without it. Myung is a fantastic bassist though.

[Paranoidd]

Back then, I was managing a skeleton crew of about 6 people.

It was great. I'd come in, lay out the work for them, turn on my tunes, and relax. Unfortunately, my crew was too good. We got so much done that there wasn't enough work to keep the shift going and they laid off everybody except me. Now I'm back on days, and I'm not a manager anymore :(

Just a normal data-entry peon.

[Bartender]

At least you didn't get laid off too. I'm surprised they didn't just reduce the night-shift to 2 or 3 people.

Anyway, what's going on now with anyone?

[Paranoidd]

They can't lay me off. With the exception of about 2 people, nobody knows this place as well as I do. My managers ask me how to do shyt.

But I digress.

yup work is some much better then school... you can actually talk, go on break smoke a cigarette etc.

[Paranoidd]

I need to go back to school. Going to take audio engineering, hopefully produce some records.

Finished high school and never looked back. :upset:

Work isn't that much better, especially if you make peanuts. Go to school, get the education and the good job. You're better off in the long run. My friend makes a ton of cash (more then his parents) and he is younger then I am. It's depressing to see.

[guitrguy]

this is my last year of high school and i cant wait to get out

[Bartender]

I'm neither at school or work..just sitting at home. Got an item ending on eBay soon, looks like it's selling well.

[Paranoidd]

What are you selling?

[Bartender]

My old MTG cards :cool:

Going for £230 at the moment, which is really good considering there's only 1100 of them. My friend sold his 4500 a few weeks ago and only got £180 or so.

[Paranoidd]

MTG card? Don't know what that is.

[Bartender]

Magic: The Gathering.

Nerd ++, if you like.

[Kingofdudes]

I need to remember to sell my Diablo II account on Ebay, im sure ill make a few bucks.

[guitrguy]

lol when i was like 12 used to like the pokemon game..... im so ashamed

[Paranoidd]

OH. Those things. Nerd ++ :lol:

I'm down with stuff like that, although I never bought any. Although I will say one thing...I went to high school with a guy who was a manager at McDonalds. He spent over $10,000 in one year on those things. Personally, I find that a bit excessive.

[Paranoidd]

Hrm I have one of those too. I think its deactivated though. :/

I need to sell my copy of Star Wars Galaxies.

/me can't wait for the LOTR MMORPG.

[Kingofdudes]

Almost time to fail another physics test....

[Bartender]

Well I never spent that much. A good few hundred pounds though.

The LOTR one looks good. The Matrix one looks less good.

[Paranoidd]

Theres a matrix one?

Hrmm. How the hell is that going to work?

The problem with those things is the ridiculously high system requirements. The Star Wars one was already off the charts...I'm going to have to spend at least a grand updating my computer if I want to play these things. ****.

[Bartender]

The problem with the Matrix one is that everyone will make Neo. There's no variety of characters in the Matrix, really. LOTR on the other hand has huge variety, and just adapts to the idea more easily.

My computer's never been capable of playing MMORPGs, though I'm getting a new one for Uni, so maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to.

[Paranoidd]

No no, they won't be able to make Neo.

At least, with Star Wars galaxies (SWG) there were lots of mods. It was hard wired in the program that you couldn't make a charcter with the same name as a prominent character in the books/movies/comics, however if you tried to be clever with something like "Duke Skywalker", you'd be reported straight to a mod by nearly any character you meet. I got it right when it came out, so God knows how much they've improved it by now, but it was really buggy back then. I think I'll wait for the matrix one till they sort out the bugs. It looks kinda cool, but I always find gameplay in these things a little redundant.

[Wintermute]

Hah, Bartender I'm selling mine, too. I've kept my championship winning deck, but I'm going to put the rest up for sale.

[Bartender]

Hah, Bartender I'm selling mine, too. I've kept my championship winning deck, but I'm going to put the rest up for sale.

I never took part in any championships or anything, just games with friends. Still, I had six or seven decks, and they were pretty good (except for a couple which I was just messing around with). I sold most of the rubbish I didn't use (about 3000 cards, mostly commons) for £100 a couple of years back, and now I'm selling all of my decks dissolved together, with the exception of a few cards I'm keeping for "sentimental value". The few I bought first, basically.

What sort of deck was your winning one?

[Bartender]

No no, they won't be able to make Neo.

Fair enough. I still think the LOTR one looks better than the Matrix though. Galaxies never really looked that good either. What others have you played?

[Wintermute]

It was a school championship, not a national or anything - hell, you're online, I'll talk to you on MSN.

[superpeer]

I can't sell things, I'm always attached to objects.

[Bartender]

I can't sell things, I'm always attached to objects.

I'm usually like that, which is why I'm keeping a few of my cards..I guess I'm less attached because I haven't played in a year or so now. And I've got thousands of them.

[Paranoidd]

Fair enough. I still think the LOTR one looks better than the Matrix though. Galaxies never really looked that good either. What others have you played?

Other than galaxies, none. I'm not too keen on monthly membership fees. I used to be a huge star wars fan so I figured I might as well give galaxies a try.

[MC5]

I can't sell things, I'm always attached to objects.

Crap I sell stuff all the time,mainly CDs and such,but you really get attached to them? Thats cool.

[Dancin' Man]

I have so many Magic cards. I love that game. I could sell mine for a lot. I have lots of rare oldschool cards (legends, arabian nights)

[Bartender]

Do you still play?

[Paranoidd]

Morning all.

[superpeer]

G'day.

[superpeer]

Yes, I'm a weird one. ;)

[Bartender]

Hello everyone.

[Kingofdudes]

FRIDAY! :thumb:

[superpeer]

W00t !

[Paranoidd]

Yay friday.

Late for work too...weed made me sleep too long :(

[guitrguy]

hahaha i took my drug test for work already
im free....im free

[Bartender]

Friday's no different to other days for me..good for you working people though, I guess.

[superpeer]

Friday means junk food ! :D

[Paranoidd]

Friday means a friday night party. Which means lots of booze and doobige and girls.


Does anybody else have a problem where their friends listen to shyt music?

[Bartender]

Yes.

[Paranoidd]

I always end up driving, because I control the music in my car and I feel I can educate them by forcing them to listen to my stuff.

Doesn't work. :(

I finally got one of my friends to listen to SOME rock...but he ends up liking stuff like Senses Fail, Taking Back Sunday, Billy Talent, etc. I at least don't mind the Used, their bassist is pretty cool. So I'm trying to work him (gently) towards some heavier stuff. Tool didn't work, nor hatebreed, nor Iron Maiden. I thought Mars Volta might work, and I think they all faked not liking it just because I suggested it.

I need to knock some sense into these kids.

[Bartender]

If Iron Maiden didn't work, I think you should probably just give up.

[Paranoidd]

Yeh....:upset:

I've accepted the fact that he has no taste, but I was at least hoping I could play some tunes without having the bastard whine about how depressing it is.

[superpeer]

Nah, that's not true, I don't like Iron Maiden. And my musical tastes are just fine.

[Paranoidd]

No no, that wasn't my point.

I can't get him to like anything that isn't either deluded, self-appreciating happy shyt, simplistic angsty pop-punk, or house. I figured since he likes Alexisonfire (one of the few bands we can agree on) that I'd entice him with some screaming....nope.

I think my friends are at the point now where they simply dimiss anything I offer because the yknow how preachy I am with music. Idiots.

[Bartender]

What sort of stuff do the ones you've had no effect on listen to?

[guitrguy]

This is why i blast metal in parking lots, that and the reactions people give you is pretty funny too

[Paranoidd]

Well he has an MP3 deck in the car so he's able to cram more crap on a CD than normal people.

Lets see...of the top of my head...

Senses Fail, From Autumn to Ashes, Taking Back Sunday, Three Days Grace, Billy Talent (loves this band, they're from our area), Alexisonfire, Boy sets fire, Thrice, Thursday, The Used, Poison the well, etc.

Some of those bands are tolerable, but ones like Billy Talent = shyte. Hate that band with a passion.

[guitrguy]

FATA isnt that bad, poison the well has lost their touch

[Paranoidd]

I probably find Alexisonfire to be the most tolerable out of them all.

[Paranoidd]

Bartender, you need to check out this band called Hatesphere.

[Invicta_Veritas]

This is why i blast metal in parking lots, that and the reactions people give you is pretty funny too

I live in kind of a redneck town, so its fun to do that with like cof or vehemence or some sh*t like that---i think its hilarious

[Bartender]

Bartender, you need to check out this band called Hatesphere.

Why? Thrash band, right?

[Paranoidd]

Somewhat. The .nfo file describes them as thrash/hardcore. I like them. They aren't TOO complex, but they have nice chugging riffs, they alternate tempos, the solos are pretty good, the vocals are good, and they have occasional bouts of melody. Not to mention they did a killer cover of Bark at the Moon on the album. They are from Denmark. If you can find the album on a P2P, check out a song or two. (or go to www.suprnova.org), thats where I got it from.

Check this out: http://www.chroniclesofchaos.com/Articles.aspx?id=2-3555

Make sure its their new album...Ballet of the Brute (I know its a gay title.)

[Bartender]

Alright, sounds good. I'll try and find something by them.

[Kingofdudes]

Let it be known, if you ever come into the Winn-Dixie I work at, buy a lot of crap, and leave your kid in the cart when im trying to bag, I will rip out your lungs....


Anyone else hate work/people?

[Paranoidd]

I hate work and people.

I used to be a cashier at a grocery store. It seriously made me loathe people in all forms. The absolute stupidity and ignorance I dealt with on a daily basis is nearly indescribable.

It scarred me so bad I refuse to do any job where I am forced to speak to customers. That's why I have to do data entry...me and a computer (and a CD player) and I'm OK. Anything else makes my ulcer bleed and I go nuts.

I'm not a big slipknot fan, and I hate the singer, but he had it right when he said people = sh*t.

[Ramsey]

Alright, sounds good. I'll try and find something by them.
You bastard, I'm still waiting for a reply in the Death Head thread.

I feel your pain, I'm quite anti human myself, I avoid contact with people that I do not deem superiour or that I have labelled with the "Jelle quality seal". :)

[Kingofdudes]

I hate old people too. Lazy *** retards. "OMG IM TOO OLD TO PICK UP THIS CASE OF WATER SO YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO GO OUT INTO THE POURING RAIN AND PUT IT IN MY CAR FOR ME." How about you dont buy crap you cant carry? Stupid cheapos dont even give a tip...

[Paranoidd]

I feel your pain, I'm quite anti human myself, I avoid contact with people that I do not deem superiour or that I have labelled with the "Jelle quality seal". :)

Yeah, I was quite a recluse at one point. I have to smoke the devil weed to be able to interact with strangers at a normal level.

It's just that I find, literally, at least 80% of the people I know are ignorant, have nothing useful to say, have no concern for their fellow man, and should not exist.

Really, people should have to apply for a license to have a kid. Too many idiots spawned from idiot parents.

[Riva]

Ha, try working a day-shift at a grocery store, and taking orders from a 3-foot tall midget lesbian with a 10th grade eduction, who just happens to be my store manager. Not too mention I'm the only one who actually graduated high-school who works there... So many idiots, so little air. No wonder the greenhouse effect is becoming more significant, what with all these retards breathing out all this hot air.

[Paranoidd]

^^^^

Your situation > mine

By the way, I got fired from that job just in case anyone is interested.

Selling packs of smokes for $1 to my friends who were underage at the time. Giving alot of "unauthorized discounts" to other friends :)

Hell, I was nearly criminally charged.

So we're all in agreement then that people suck? Shyt, all the intelligent MX'ers should get our own country.

[halfdeadhippo]

So we're all in agreement then that people suck? Shyt, all the intelligent MX'ers should get our own country.

Only problem is that the noobs would just follow us there and it'd all erupt into the same social anarchy that goes on in the Pit. Only it'd be much more so becasue there wouldn't be like an R&M city to hide in.

They wouldn't get past immigration :D

Funny, I was just reading Maddox with a couple friends. (after I wrote that though).

[Riva]

Haha... now that's taking it to the man

[Riva]

Man... I hate Australian Idol!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so incredibly bad. Especially since one of these (mostly) untalented hacks will be richer that I can hope to be, in a matter of weeks. It makes me wanna smack someone around...

[Kingofdudes]

American Idol is just as bad. I also cant stand all the retards in my Pre-Calc class talking about it all the time.

[Tony Flow]

what about pop idol it is really bad. the auditions are funny though the ones that think there good making fools of them selves.

[Bartender]

None of you are online :(

[RavenousMetalist87]

Driving is a bitch. My dad took me out yesterday to get used to the controls and driving the car, but the hardest thing is making a turn. Steering wheel needs to be corrected when I finish a turn, and it's just ****ing hard man!

My dad said my sister went over the curb when he took out to drive for the first time. He told me I did ok, but it was just the first time, so I was going to mess up.

[Bartender]

^I hate driving too. My dad asked me if I wanted driving lessons for my 18th birthday, and I said no..then he said that yes, I did, and bought me 10 of them anyway. I don't want to learn how to drive though, so I did those lessons (well, didn't do all of them) and stopped.

Hi Medopalis :wave: I'm actually going out in 15 minutes or so though.

[Kingofdudes]

I was nervous as crap the first time I went driving. But every time you go out it gets easier and easier.

[Bartender]

Turns out its a lot less than 15 minutes, so I'll be back in a couple of hours.

While I'm gone, did anyone else read Blue Haze's "I'm talking to the Cannibal!" thread in the Pit?

[RavenousMetalist87]

I was nervous as crap the first time I went driving. But every time you go out it gets easier and easier.

My dad was yelling at me for making bad turns. We were in a huge parking lot, but trying to get the car straight again is hard. he had me doing U turns, and I was o.o;

It was cool to drive though. :)

[Bartender]

Yeah I did!! I'm not entirely sure why he's doing this, but it's strangely compelling, isn't it?

I think Blue Haze is a she, and yeah it is. I'm going to go read the rest now, actually, I only got through the first page before.

[Paranoidd]

I hate driving.

I delayed getting my license as long as I could, but after a while I had to. Where I live, you must drive or you're screwed. Maintaining my car and paying for insurance costs me nearly half my yearly income. $500 (canadian) a month just on insurance (about 250-300 Euros)...not including gas, etc.

Not to mention some jerk hit me about 2-3 weeks ago and totalled my car. Now I have nothing, and have to use my school money to buy a car, and I can't go to school.

Having to drive for 45 minutes to downtown Toronto to go to a club or something isn't fun either.

Especially with the high concentration of stupid driver in my area...I once followed a chick for 45 minutes due to road rage.

Driving sucks.

[RNR]

I'm 16 and I don't even have my learners license. But what do I need to drive for? Nothing, i'll be leaching off of my parents until i'm 25. And by then i'll be able to drive.

[Paranoidd]

Just do what I do...play the lottery, and hope to win so you can get a limo to drive you everywhere you need to go.

[SB_Haggard]

im only 14 now but im looking foreward to driving this way i can listen to whatever i want in the car

[Paranoidd]

True, that is a perk.

Just don't crank it tooo much.

/me blew the speakers in my mom's car.

[Kingofdudes]

I just realised two things after watching Lamb of God's "As the Palaces Burn" video

1. The singer has very funny hair.
2. The guitar solo sounds like circus music.

/random

I saw a pic of Randy back in the day when he had really long hair. I liked it better back in the day, and now his hair looks like an emoish haircut or pop punkish hairstyle combed to one side, covering part of the forehead...

Their guitar work sounds arabic influenced to me, but the solos sounding like circus music? That's something you don't seem to notice everyday, but it's still cool :)

[Kingofdudes]

I dunno, its just in this song during the solo. It actually made me laugh.

I cant wait till they come to New Orleans :thumb:

[Everything_and_Nothing_3:15]

My ***** hurts.

[Bartender]

I don't like Lamb of God.

/bored

[Riva]

Once you get your license, there is a small period of time when it is really exciting and you go for long drives all the time for no reason. Then you realise that cars cost money, and all your friends start making you designated dave. That's when it starts to turn into a chore. :(

Meanwhile, I wish you guys were online when I am. It's like I'm talking to myself on the internet... as well as when I'm alone in a dark room, with my scented candles. That is where I plan my domination of MX, and then the world. And you, Parannoid... you will be at my right-hand side! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!11111111

/bored, and unstable from an overload of uni assignments.

[Bartender]

I'm online. It's 5:48am though.

[Riva]

Yay! But it's 2.51pm here...

Whoa! Second "first-post-on-a-page" in a row!

What shall we talk about?

[Bartender]

That's what you get for being in Australia.

[Riva]

More like, that's what you get for being in England.... :p

What are your plans for today?

[Bartender]

Well my sister got back from Florida this morning (bringing me a CD with her, which was nice), and she's going to school tomorrow. She's getting a lift in from my mam to help her get all her books and her guitar and things back into school, after the summer holidays. I've left school now, but I've got a pile of history books that need taking back, so I'm gonna take the lift in too.

I figured since I probably wouldn't go to bed til 5 or 6am anyway (and they're leaving at 7:15), I may as well just stay up all the way through.

So, in a couple of hours, I'm going back into school for about 20 minutes, then getting the bus back home, and hopefully going to sleep. And that's all I've got so far.

You?

[Riva]

I just come home from uni, and my brain aches.

I'm thinking about making myself a sandwich, and maybe doing a module of chemistry on the internet.

And this arvo at 5, I'm going in to see my dad in the hospital. He had to go in for surgery on his hands on Friday, and he was really groggy Friday morning, so I'm gonna talk to him when he's more with it.

[Bartender]

Sounds like a plan. Why'd he need surgery on his hands?

[Riva]

My parents are divorced, and he lives on a property up in the Tablelands; a pretty rural area that sits just past a mountain range about a two hour drive from my house. It's where most of the dairy farmers are. Anyway, he has a windmill that drives a filtration system for the creek that runs through his land. And late Thursday arvo, he noticed that it wasn't working, so he inspected it and found the cogs that drove it had dislodged. By the way, my dad thinks he is invincible :p so he decides to go and re-align the gears while they are still moving!

So anyway, his hand slips, and gets crushed between two of the cogs. On a reaction, he pulls his hand out, and nearly overbalances and falls backward off the two metre high platform where the gears are. So he reacts again and instinctively reaches out with his undamaged hand for something to halt his fall. His hand found the gears, and he crushed his right hand as well. So now he has the sense to pull his hands out slowly, climb down, and walk to his neighbours up the road.

It turns out the gears broke all of his fingers bar one index finger, and the thumbs. Plus they tore off the pinky of his left hand. So during surgery they had to remove two more of his fingers, because they were too broken to repair, and the rest are in casts, which could take two months to heal.

So now he has two fingers on his left hand, and four broken on his right. Other than that he's okay.

[Bartender]

Ouch.

[Riva]

Nah, he'll be fine. He once swerved to miss a drunk driver, hit a light pole, flipped his ute and broke his neck. And that was out bush, so he had to wait for two hours for someone else to drive by.

What do you study at uni, Bartender?

[Bartender]

Fair enough. Well good luck to him, anyway.

I haven't actually started Uni yet, but I think I'm going down there this Saturday/Sunday. I'll be studying philosophy, once I get settled in and everything. What do you study?

[Riva]

Molecular Bio-chemistry. So pretty much what you'll be doing... :p

[Paranoidd]

You school people make me want to go back :upset:

I'm going to take audio engineering. Be a producer. Only thing I'm remotely good at.

[Riva]

What job do you do now?

[Paranoidd]

Data-entry :)

[guitrguy]

Ivans heading right for my town... i can't wait.

[Paranoidd]

Lucky guy...

[Kingofdudes]

We get to evacuate :)
