Rossko, you get minus 20 TRIGGER PO1NTS, for not saying "Oi, Forza guy, shut up - if there isn't disk space problem, why rape us with downloadable content straight after release?"

You get +10 TRJ points for saying that.
I probably get -20 TRIGGER PO1NTS for stealing your idea.

I really hate it when it's obvious downloadable content was ready at release and they just want to wait maybe a week to release it and charge for it. Even if it's free, it still takes up hard drive space and should have been on the disc to begin with.

Uhm no we haven't had a second of downtime for ages? In fact, the last time was 53 days ago:

Which was, in fact planned downtime as I tried to upgrade memory. Next Sunday I'll try again :P

GDC 07 (http://www.gdconf.com/events/)

So, what's your predictions this year?

Will we get 'Xbox bringing (a select few) things home again or what?
Any Xboxic guys going? (Are journalists even allowed there?)

My guess is FORZA 2 will be highlight for MS.

[nofear360]

Imo, Too Human will take the stage as far as MS games are concerned to finally prove to sceptics that the E3 2006 build was an "in-progress" build and not a representation of the final build. That and Fable 2 which Peter Molyneux will have a long discussion on. Hopefully, we'll get to see some in-game footage :). And, let's not forget Mass Effect ;). Can't to wait to read IGN's hands-on (+ videos) with the demo that will be shown at the GDC :D.

'Serious' press mainly. Whatever that means.

what page was this on? my "my xbox rewards" page just has my gamercard and the contest i'm signed up for. although, it does NOT tell you how many points you need until 1500, and i already forgot so i'll try to get a bunch more. i think i have 1050 right now toward it.

oh my god i'm so fucking bored i want to drink but not by myself you guys should come over and i'll have a party

I drank a few last Friday. Survived the headache too.

[Rossko_UK]

I drank a few last Friday. Survived the headache too.

I wish I did :(

Having a kebab on top of four~five pints on an empty stomach is just a recipe for disaster. I was sick from 2AM-6AM Saturday morning, then I threw back up my pint of water. Don't even get me started on the diarrhea that I also had to suffer. :X

Lesson to be learnt: always eat before a drinking session.

And apparently if you drink a pint of milk or milkshake before going out, you can double your alcohol intake apparently. I only found this out today. I'll let you know how it goes next Friday :P

funny that, guns were banned in britain, dont think the government realised that bad people pay no attention to the law.

[Rossko_UK]

Guns banned in Britain? Since when?

If you have a firearms licence, you can buy whatever gun you like, depending on what licence you have. My mate used to have a double barrelled shotgun, frightened the hell out of me.

Don't forget airsoft guns (http://www.airsoftarmoury.com/) as well. Not a true gun as they don't fire bullets, only BBs, but almost worse in fact since anyone can pick them up. I can't verify how easy it is to convert one to fire real bullets, but at one point campaigners were trying to get the sport banned.

[max2663]

as long as i don't get shot i'm fine:)

Is it to do with this?

Cigarettes will go up by 11p a packet. However, VAT on nicotine patches is to be cut from 17.5% to 5%.

Beer will rise by 1p a pint from midnight Sunday, cider by 1p a litre, wine by 5p a bottle and sparkling wine by 7p. Duty on spirits will be frozen.

So you'd rather long hair with a long beard, that screams HIPPY/GAY to me.

I usually have longer hair on top with short sides. I need grade 2 sides, with only 1/2 inch on top! Keeping stubble is to look older/rougher I think.

I dont care that much. I can only try it

[Rossko_UK]

I've accepted an offer to become a male escort. In 2 weeks time I can be booked online...sounds cruddy I know, but the only catch is to keep short stubble and short hair...

Awesome. Care to reveal how much you get for doing it? Just out of interest, because we were talking about this at non-ICG work the other week.

It's up to £70 per hour. With a min booking of 2hrs.
I think with overnight stuff its £500

But it depends if theres any interest in the area where you live and if you have a look that fits within the escort market. Although I have 100% British parents, because of my dark hair, dark eyes and olive skin - I can pass of a spanish/turkish look. Although I've no six pack (thankfully - not into the hardwork nor upkeep) Im toned....I fit a dark handsome toyboy image for some rich bird who dont want to be seen on her own...

I think my mother & sister thought I was joking, but being paid at the same time as being taken out somewhere to eat is an ideal job...its probably not a big earner - but Im dying to give it a go now

[nofear360]

Lol, my GF and several others all say I could pass off as Spanish, Morrocan and so on. I also am not sporting a six pack for the same reason as you! Either we are brothers, or just spookily similar >:)

Have fun though, let us know how it goes!!

Ah ah that sounds cool but I could not imagine doing it as I wouldnt even get past any places that are for over 18. :P

Good luck and hope it brings you lots of money and perhaps some happiness or interesting girls.

Why would they spoil games? Ranked matches are for competitive players, and player matches are for a group of friends who are in for the fun.

My mate gave me 20 fags to get his gamerscore up yesterday, he rented Fight Night 3 and bought King Kong and gave me his memory card with his profile on.
I've nearly finished Fight Night already without losing one round. He also let me borrow GRAW2 and Rainbow Six: Vegas, but I can't play them till I've got 1000/1000 for each King Kong and FNR3.

[Curry]

My mate gave me 20 fags to get his gamerscore up yesterday, he rented Fight Night 3 and bought King Kong and gave me his memory card with his profile on.

Finished them both, I blinked and finished Fight Night.

for a GTA game it's looking amazing indeed, but the character still looks like he's straight from the old engine to me.. hoped they would look like the table tennis dudes.. I read a rumor somewhere that they used the TT engine, but that's not the case so it seems..

Speaking (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8O9A8E00&show_article=1) of Keith Richards: In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002, at 84.

[TRIGGER M4N]

I might have a FUCKING TOOTH ABCESS. fuuuuuuuuuck!

My tooth has been killing me since Monday night, I have slept about 10 hours altogether since. And even worse, I can't take tablets. (My one AND ONLY weakness is not being able to swallow tablets ever since I nearly choked to death on a piece of Chicken Tika.)

Dentist, here I fucking come!




FUCK!


Is an abcess one of those things were I can justlast it out, or is it one of those 'Todd (my real name :o ), you should see your dentist' things?

[Balloonenstein]

My dad had one of those a few years back. Took him a few years of dental surgery to get it all cleared up

[Rossko_UK]

If you do indeed have an abscess, then I'd hurry the hell up and get to a dentist. If you leave it untreated, it could spread to all manner of places in your body and make you look rather unsightly.

You may need to have the abscess drained by whatever measures, or depending on how severe it is, the whole tooth may need to be removed. I reckon it will be expensive too.

Smoking still worth it?!

[TRIGGER M4N]

I am really not looking forward to it, is it painfull to get rid of it?

Expenisive? DAMN, me nor my family have ANY money, at all.


Smoking is the SHIT. But if it helps my get rid of/or reduce the risk of me getting one again, I might have to reconsider my smoking habit.

[Rossko_UK]

Well of course it will be painful. You will probably undergo general anesthetic, but when you wake up it won't be much fun.

It really depends on how deep the abscess is. If it has a load of pus in, it could explode or whatever happens and worsen the whole of your mouth. If it looks severe, they will operate. If surgery is too dangerous, welcome to a world of pain :P

I'm no expert, just basing it on experience from people around me. Most of them smoked...

But obviously it's more to it than just smoking. Not brushing your teeth properly/at all, not using toothpaste etc are all factors. Depends on what you eat too. Smoking just makes it worse :P

[TRIGGER M4N]

Well, it started on Monday night, so hopefully tomorrow it'll just be case of inject and remove.

[max2663]

are you on the nhs cos big waiting time............

[TRIGGER M4N]

What, what are you both on about. I spoke to my mum and 2 friends abcess's and they says it's anti-biotics or a 10 mins injection and remove. Trying to scare me = fail.

Update on the tooth situation, I have a severe root canal infection or something. It's so much worse than an abcess. I'm on 9 pills a day!
I'll have to have a root canal extraction (my 5th one in my poor little life!)

Still, smoking rules!

[CleanSweep31]

So so grind up the pills in some grape jam, that always lets my little ones get them down .... as for "seeing your dentist' things" I guess your dentist is much more friendly than mine :-)
