he's a reader of the site for a while (I recognize the screen name on the FP) and disagrees with Xboxic's scoring system.
"Absolute values or else!" Seems to be the rally cry.
Glad to see you joined the forums Tater. I thought I was in the wrong place when I read more than 2 consecutive posts without the words "y'all, fag, douche, twat or event he dreaded (yet hillarious!) twat-waffle". Intelligent debate? On Xboxic? nah....get out of town :o
While most facets in life are governed by absolute values, reviews (whether of books/film/games/food ANYTHING) are subjective and by their very nature can allow for a 'perfect' score. Please note the use of quotes around perfect. A reviewed score of 10/10 is not the same thing as a test score of 10/10. Consumer products are not measureable by the same standards (or at least, I don't THINK they should be....).
'Perfection' and Perfection are different things.

Who's this guy, is he a reviewer or something?
I'm not a paid reviewer, nor do I review games for anyone other than the few who visit my blog. I started a blog a few months ago reviewing games as I play them.
I'm just a normal guy. I don't have anything to do with the game industry other than I give them my money. Ross and I are merely discussing our difference of opinion.

Thanks mass9.
I'm not saying "Absolute values or else". I'm m trying to defend my review scores. We know that I disagree with Xboxic's (really just a 10/10) but I've been trying to say that I don't view it as wrong, it is just different.

Hey muffin!
Okay, maybe muffin is too cute, but I was seriously browsing for guys when I came across your profile page. Not bad! I want a little more! I'm not totally sure, I think you don't live too far from here. I like local guys, what can I say? I'm back on the market, after a serious relationship ended. I'd like something very different now. Maybe start off slow, play it by ear. I think you should know more about me. I'm good-looking, smart and ambitious. I'm pretty easy going and independent... not the clingy type. I like doing many things and I'm a coffee fanatic! Go caffeine go! Don't be shy; if you're interested, get back to me, you will not regret it. FYI, I'm using my best friend's account, so please don't reply directly. Instead, send your message to this address: o_mary_hunter at yahoo.com.
Thanx

Hiya there!
I'm searching for a guy who is adventurous and witty. I go for the whole package not just looks or personality. I'm very cute and athletic. I work out about twice a week and watch what I eat. But no, I'm not a health freak either! I came out a long relationship (over three years) and at present, looking for something laid-back. I'm also not into long distance, go-nowhere relationships. I really think you live close by, that would be peachy! But I'm not sure cause I'm here visiting a friend.
Quick note, this is not my account, I'm borrowing it from my friend. She's a regular here by what I see. Reply to my regular email address instead: thomsonpmary at yahoo.com.
I'll be checking for you!

If you enjoy cheese rolling, you'll likely enjoy the Tomatina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomatina).
I went to the Tomatina with an ex-girlfriend and her family, and I have to say it was a great laugh. Our shirts (mine and her father's) were stripped from us within 30 mins of being in the street, and my ex got hit in the head with some snorkeling goggles.
It was great.

yeah, the Tomatina is on my 'bucketlist'
TBH, I'm surprised it was your shirt that got ripped off and not hers. I've heard some female horror stories about the Tomatina. >:)
Thousands of people throwing tomatoes at each other is pretty cool, but I get far more laughs watching some of those IDIOTS hurtling down the hillside.
You can almost FEEL their broken bones and knocked out teeth.

Thought you didn't like music?
As I explained, I like Rap which many of my friends disregard as "music", and label it under the category "shit". The problem is I don't like any other genre in any depth.
Hence why I buy my music: I don't get new music all that often, so when I do I may as well spend some money on it. Plus the fact that I knew someone who got stung in the region of £5000-£10000 for downloading/uploading music a few years ago. I didn't wanna go down that route.

Hey I am back from the best holiday you could ever imagine. There really is nothing like a cruise at all - you are waited on hand and foot, - I can only speak for the Ventura, but you are treated like a King - and ( sorry denisdenis ) BUT what the fuck is going on over France, the Ventura was targeted at La Rochelle where lorries barracaded the entrance and french men hurled some kind of french abuse. It wasn't safe for anyone to get off the ship - then some French Press in a speed boat follwed us out of port taking pictures and filming it.
I couldn't find a french pastrie called a Madeleine or something - BUT I fucking LOVE 'Pomme' like an omlette shaped donut with apple and cream..mmmmmm

Well in Southampton, theres a few terminals for ships and Ventura was docked in the same terminal as Titanic which was odd because when you look out all you think about is Titanic sailing in the exact same spot along the English Channel - I didn't get it out of my mind until we took a left down into the Bay of Biscay which is known for its very rough seas, but thankfully due to the good weather all week it was calm...

Yeah I felt very strange coming back home because I lost that familiar feeling with everything - plus at the minute I have a bit of Vertigo from being 200ft high all week and walking around with my sea legs on...

that's just following rules... you can still watch without it...
and talking of TV Licence this is what annoys me, you see signs and posters and other ads around saying 'They know who's not got one...' or along those lines because of some database or other - then though - each time you buy a dvd player, new tv, pc, you keep getting forms in the post to post back to them stating you do actually have one...

So instead of the usual obligatory one freak that they find under a rock up north to generalise the entire Scottish people this year they give us fucking two.
A man that is definately camper than a row of tents and a fucking blind jedi warrior (never has the question "did you get dressed in the dark?" ring so true, I mean come on, a fucking poncho!!!!)

Well now I wouldn't say cheap, after if you want a good hermie habitat it can cost everywhere from $50-175 or more. It just depends on what your willing to pay. I mean don't get me wrong, I don't have my hermies yet, but that's becuase I calculated teh costs and I'm saving my money until I can get the proper equiptment for a hermie habitat. I mean I don't want to put new hermies into a halve finished enviroment

I like it a lot. Its a worthwhile purchase for anyone who likes Condemned / Bioshock type stuff...

you may not know who he was, but I'm sure that ANY of the comedy you see/hear today was (still is?) influence by him. To put it mildly, he was the originator and the king of controversial humour.
"7 words you can't say on tv". Classic. YouTube it. And keep in mind that this was WAY more 'in your face' back in the 70's (today its more like 1 word you can't say on tv, lol).
its sad and all, but I think what's even sadder is that as he aged, he became less a funny old man and more a plain old grumpy old man. I guess it'll happen to all of us one day.

Seeing as I've never understood the rules of American football I got NFL 07 yesterday for a mighty £6 to try and learn what all the fuss is about.
It's a hell of a lot more tactical then I thought it would be but I keep getting penalised for offside defence, what the hell is that? In football you can only be offside if you're attacking the opponents half so this seems weird. I should probably read up a lot more on the rules as I have no idea about the whole 1st down and 4 and shit.
Strangely enjoying playing a game where I don't know the rules tho!

LOL! Last night some crazy shit happened, about 2ish, i heard loads of shouting otuside, it was someone i've known for years, (hes a bit crazy, been in prison couple times blah blah) and hes going nuts at his mums/ex girlfriends house, screaming, booting the door, this goes on for a while, he finally gets back one of the things he wants (his pit bull, looks scary but is soft as shit, lovely dog lol) Soon the police end up there, they wont go near him cause they dont know how dangerous the dog is, hes shouting " I'll set the fuckin dog on ya! Don't fucking come near me! You gonna fucking shoot me?!"
This goes on for a while, i decide my window has a shit view, so i got dressed and snuck around some of the corners from all angles, i end up bumping into some mates from around my area, they are sitting there taking pics, i go get my camera, by the time i come back, theres about 5 police cars,4 police vans, about 30 police and an armed response unit. We spoke to them a bit, then they moved us on, i got what little pics i could, but after they moved us we were at a shit angle.
From what we heard, they eventually shot him with something, something quiet, maybe a tranquilizer or something,. cause he made no sound and the dog ended up running off, they all packed up and left. Pity i didn't actually see that part happen, pics would have been great! I'll upload any that came out okay now and stick them up in a bit:P
Not very great pictures, i was pretty stoned and it was difficult to take them without being seen, one of my mates got a well good pic of about 7 police, i'll try get it.

I worked with Lombard Business Finance for two weeks. Stayed away in Sheffield, for a few days, sat in on conferences and meetings, learnt how they used computers and what for and so on. T'was a great eye opener and there were a lot of laughs. Never once was I used as a skivvy.

Yeah now that would have interested me when I was work experience age, but going back 12 years ago now - all that was offered to me during Business GNVQ course was Dixons Customer services, but I turned it down - then later dropped out to take up accountancy.

For my work experience, I was tossed into a failing IT company to take over the position of net admin and save what I could. I did manage to restore the network to optimal performance and keep the place afloat long enough to get offered a real job. About six months after I left the place, they got a multi-million $$$ government grant and all employees got huge salaries. :(

I bought myself today some disguised T-shirts made from Kevlar in plain white and plain black. Which I can wear under my shirts when I go out to Pubs/Clubs now... \o/
It's anti-stab t-shirts which I think more of us should wear now, it's lightweight and 5 times stronger than steel

Unless you intend to actively go looking for a fight or plan to intervene in a fight, I don't think "more of us should wear [them] now". You don't see American civilians walking around with bulletproof vests on now do you?
Seems like someone reads a little too much into the Daily Mail.
Also how much/where from?

£40.00 from Speedyact.co.uk, there's also stab proof hoodies.
I still think depending upon certain area's where you know it's a bit rough it's better to go clubbing with one on than not...especially in my two closest towns of Exeter one side, Plymouth the other...

Lol their shit is ridiculous. Making the most of the scare-mongering tactics the media are using.
If you get stabbed, you get stabbed for a reason. Whether it's because you start an argument or try to break one up. I know a policeman who operates in the Met, and he says the cases of stabbings are very rarely random attacks. Total waste of money if you ask me.

hell with knives and kevlar t-shirts georgia just passed a new state law where if you own a conceled carry license you are legally able to carry your firearm in any public building (resturants, bars that serve alcohol, buisneses) any public transportation (buses,trains,cabs) and if you work for a public company your employer has to allow you to atleast carry in your car and cant descriminate otherwise. so theres my defense in clubs and bars.

I'll admit that I don't know how easy or hard it is to obtain a concealing licence, so perhaps my view is a little biased. I just don't see how this law helps anything. Yes you might be sane, but what about some other nut case? Shoot up on public transport is going to go down well.
I dunno, I just don't think this is the right step to take.

thats a valid argument that alot of people have around here. if you knew all the things they check for when you apply for the license youd think diffrently. now im not saying it cant happen but how often has some nut case stayed out of trouble (felonys, arrest for anything) for 21 years and then applied for the license then goes on a rampage? they check every detail in your past and fingerprint you. yea it can be easy for one to fall through the cracks but thats rare. its really there for citizens to protect themselves from those who break the law. and whoever said its easier to get guns when there legal is wayyy wrong...atleast over here.

On the God of War CGI trailer:
Let’s be honest, the trailer itself wasn’t that good anyways. I’d rather have seen some slightly janky gameplay then CGI rendered Kratos on top of a pile of rubble, but maybe that’s just me. The game will likely be good, but Sony’s presentation of it leaves much to be desired. They should realize that the power of the PS3 doesn’t just lay in the ability to create pretty CGI cutscenes. In the end there isn’t chaos, only disappointment.
wam bam thank you ma'am
