Dude.

GTA Vice City was an awful port, with terrible controls.

GTA San Andreas was an excellent port, and I found it more intuitive than on any of the consoles.

GTA4 was a cool game, but I had hardware issues (FU ATI, never buying another ATI graphics card again) that made me leave it after the first bridge.

Yeah, I do graphic art for websites. And some printed material.

Nothing usually of any great creative flair tho. I'm often restricted by tight corporate branding guidelines.
But that's a good excuse for the fact that I'm not hugely creative.

GTA4 was widely slammed as a godawful port, you have my sympathy mate.

Doesn't mean PC gaming is worthless by any means though- just look at the quality of stuff you can get on steam for a few quid.

Hey, don't worry about me and PC gaming, I'm most definitely a PC gamer, have been for a long time. I know it's far from worthless. It just pisses me off that a company with a ridiculous budget and huge amounts of time couldn't even scrub a decent port together.

I managed to get Mass Effect for 3 quid in the steam christmas sales. Best 3 quid I've ever spent. Played that back to back with Mass Effect 2, possibly the most amazing writing effort I've ever seen in a game.

Thinking of rockstar, Max Payne 2's script was apparently twice the length of a full length film script. How much work must have gone into ME? Must be ridiculous...

Max Payne 2 is seriously fantastic, as is ME. Two of my favourite games ever.

the day you can play a decent mmo on a console = lol

the day you can play a decent rts on a console = lol

gta has always sucked...the same thing over and over. beat a hooker steal a car. it's actually really lame. halo is a pretty cool mmo

sup lod

who here likes mumford and sons?

i'm so ****ing hooked on this band

I love them in fact ! Will be driving to kent to see them on thursday

you're so lucky being in a region that's so close to their home town

i'm like thousands of miles away from london so i don't get to see their local stuff

Friend of mine was just telling me yesterday how much he ****ing despises them. Weird.

halo is no mmo, nothing about is "massively multi-player"

and i liked gta 1, killing the Elvis Gang was great fun :naughty:

funny how relative this is, you say "region so close to their home hometown" we say "theyre in two separate ****ing countries"

celebrate my F'ing birthdya

happy bday

thanks my friend

To celebrate your birthday I went out and bought myself a MXR Custom-Comp!
Now to fiddle around with it until I get the perfect attack and such (the dials inside tweaked).

[size=1]Not really, but happy birthday none-the-less.[/size]

i didnt really do much, played some guitar, made some nice dinner, disabled the back wiper on my car, charged the batt since it was dead, and crashed a jeep into the side of a car

:|

yesterday i did see slash and went on a mad one :)

My mother and step-dad are at that mumford and whatever band.

Double posting; FU slow lod.

I finished building this today:

[IMG]http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww187/aidancowen/DSC00003.jpg[/IMG]

Took 3 days total, but I've only pointed the front. When I can be arsed I'll do the back so it's neat but only because it'd bother me. It doesn't [I]need[/I] to be done. Never picked up a trowel before this so I'm pretty happy with how it looks, it's a bit assymetical but hey - I'm using 60 year old reclaimed bricks. I'm sure if I had brand new bricks I could make a straight, flat wall.

Speaking of the bricks, I found the decorative ones burried under the gravel when we moved in, they're from Blaydon, which is just down the road. Now all I want is some terracotta tiles to neaten the top.

Tomorrow we're gonna have lamb chops with mint and garlic marinade (with mint from our garden) BBQ bread, Corn on the cob and Stickysweet spring onions. Oh and a corriander pesto dressing on the side, with cherry tomato salad.

So good.

Now watching the Nadal v Murray match, which is great. Talk about commited to every single point.

My air rifle got knocked in the house move and the scope was messed up, so I zeroed it today and I can now shoot the head off a match at 15 yards, which is about as accurate as you can get. My mate from Poland came over on Wednesday, he used to be in the army, he's an insanely good shot. We were playing about with my BB gun and he was accurately double tapping an inch wide piece of wood at 15 yards. The Bastard.

Seeing as the lod is so slow, hows about a question;

If you could go back in time to any point and spend 24 hours as an observer (as in, you weren't noticed, can't interfere with history) where/when would you go?

Looks rickity

Perfect word for it.

I'd go back and watch Ali vs. Foreman at ringside.

i've finished uni now and passed; officially have Masters level qualifications. Feeling absolutely shattered but looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow and getting back into training.

Sup lod. I'm bored as **** and listening to some Rosetta.

anyone else watching the World Cup? or is this forum filled with americans?

and bitter englishmen/mexicans

I kind of watch the world cup. Share my office with a guy who always has the games streaming, multiple people coming in during games being like "did you see that?!?!?!", and will randomly blurt out good or bad things depending on what happens.

Just got done working a 16-hour shift. Oh' happy days... stayed OT for two reasons: They wanted me to work over the weekend and I figured I could just knock it all out today and my companies work week is Saturday to Friday. So I get time and a half for every hour I worked today compared to just regular time if I worked tomorrow, or Monday.

Ugh, if only I wasn't a contractor I'd get double pay for working Monday. NO! Have to be contract. :upset: On the upside, don't feel so bad about dropping $200 at GC the other day as I made it back and a little more in OT today.
