[QUOTE=AG;17956858]Media, Communications and Cultural studies. It's a pretty desirable degree in the UK atm but I dunno about the rest of the world.

And I have another in Music Performance and Media Management, which is a joke really.[/QUOTE]

media -lol
communications - wut
cultural studies - lol

what fields of work is this degree desirable for? out of interest

Pfft.
I work in media and comms.

Never got a degree for it tho.

all the athletes at my school are communications majors

for good reason too

DiMarzio Super Distortion sounds better in my GRX40 than it did in my RG1570. Assuming this is because my GRX40 is a hard tail. It has a gainy PAF Pro quality to it now, a thickness that I don't remember it having before. DiMarzio Area '58 and Area '67 are kick a[size=2]s[/size]s single coils that make my starter guitar sound easily better than any Fender Mexican Strat you could pull off the shelves that is worth two or three times more than this guitar.

Over the course of 3 years we've been given opportunities (paid internships/volunteer work/meet and greets) with ITV, BBC, Sky etc. I think anyone who does well/is still interested in the course will be able to step straight into a research job wtih any of the larger media groups.

People hear 'Media, communications and cultural studies' and think it's a mickey.

What I really do is more 'Psycho-Analysis, Sociology and Anthropology' in the sphere of mediated texts.

I'd be pretty damn clever if I ever went to uni/gave a shat, but I don't. I consider University a complete waste of time and money, wish I had never done it, and will probably come out of it with a 3rd.

Oh and also, my university runs the best course in the country for it - requirements are now 3xA level standard at A or above, and an excellent interview. When I joined it was AAB.

You're simultaneously trying to defend your course and telling us it's a waste of time

Nah, mate.

I'm saying that my course is a great course, but I don't find it interesting [I]at all[/I], and therefore don't waste my time on it.



Squiggs, you're a terrible troll. I wonder what happened between me leaving in 2007-2008 when you were a decent member of the MX community to now, where you just troll.

im not trolling im genuinely laughing

i was never a decent member and you were always slightly on the weird/obsessive side like

in your own little way

I can think of nothing more boring than being normal, mate.

depends what you mean by normal

i'd much rather do stuff like lift weights, go for coffee/beer with mates, or watch a film than make a home-made lathe with a powerdrill and gaffatape

Isn't it really weird how they have nudity and sex scenes in that game?

They had nudity in a "sex scene" in one of the past ones. Can't remember if it was the first or second. So it isn't really weird. If I remember correctly the past game just had like two or three topless girls in bed with Cratos. Unless they actually have a SEX scene then this is normal.

You're missing the point. he's referring to it being weird having sex scens in a game, full stop. Not the God of War series.

[QUOTE=Squirrel;17957996]You're missing the point. he's referring to it being weird having sex scens in a game, full stop. Not the God of War series.[/QUOTE]

So wait, a cinematic showing nudity is weird in a game, but its totally fine in fifth element, sex scene in terminator, watchmen, any number of other films?

I fail to see the difference between the two, really. Both set up characters through the main plot for you, then those characters either get nekkid or do the nasty with much use of oblique camera angles.

Sure, if theres direct interaction required of a sexual nature, like 'Press X to face****' or whatever it becomes a bit weird, but sex sells isn't any weirder or more normal in any medium really, its just i suppose we're more used to it in film because until recently games haven't had the graphics power to render anything remotely realistic, and so the first attempts were laughable (Literally, ever heard of 'Custers Revenge'?)

These days though...well honestly theres so little between the two a lot of the time, that its just semantics to say a sex scene is ok in one but not the other.


Unless, of course, its a part of the gameplay. That turns it into a weird kind of self-insert/slashfic type thing, and that is slightly more 'freaky fetish' than 'sex sells'

Why the **** are you ranting at me? i'm not the one making the point, I was clarifying it, you tool.

I wasn't, that was a completely calm post. But thanks for being self-important enough to assume I care what you think.

Yep. I sure did.

Of course, just because I quoted a relevant post, doesn't mean the post was directed at one person only.

Who the **** are you.

Does your great and masterful observational prowess not extend to the left of the post, where my name is printed quite clearly?

Oh, wait, I understand! You're attempting to claim seniority and visible forum presence makes a difference to what I'm saying, while hoping nobody realises its a weak strawman!

uh oh we have an elitist mx'er blowing up

That is part of it. You need to press the buttons on the screen and move the control sticks to pleasure her properly.

That [I]is[/I] wierd.

How is that weird?

Pressing buttons to kill people isn't weird

But pressing buttons to ensure the girl in the game has a good time is?

Suppose you have only one string on one neck. Where is the need to ferret right place? Set of 36 ferrets, two necks together, place a 0-fret and you have 73 frets. The element is an Barto Line Jazz bass pickup directly to the jack is connected. This is the bass for a fraternal loner, the "Schizo".

Tenner says AG built it.

Not enough projectiles on it for it to be an AG creation.
