In the immortal words of Dave Lister, when asked his occupation by Kryten:

uh, bum

[size=8][Red Dwarf, Series IV, EP 3: Justice] [/size]

Currently studying Compter Science at uni (well, I'm supposed to be anyway). Had a job working for ntl: (tech support) but gave that up soon after christmas. Couldn't fit it into my busy schedule of slobbing around.

Well, I don't know who taught you maths, but, where I come from,

2.12 + 1.35 + 1.35 + 0.78 = 5.60, not 1337. So it doesn't suck. kthxbai

Be amazed. Be very amazed. Not only does the total come to the "magic number", with a minutes bit of imagination, so does the number of clubcard points!! Are you impressed yet? No? oh well...

Off Topic / The Meaning Of Life

« on: August 04, 2004, 11:30:53 AM »

the meaning of life is to suffer, suffer at the hands of others, suffer of your own deeds and to ultimatly die someday which will be your only release from this prision that is your body... also the meaning of life is to inflict suffering upon others be it lower life forms or whatever tickles your sychotic funny bone...
be it a crule way to offer peace to other beings, death is a part of life, it is a part of us all. we can never excape it but we can choose how we will greet it, weather you go out fighting or as a old invilid man sleeping with his wife.

truely a bullet would seem so humain. it is our nature to destroy, and in the destruction springs new life and so the chain continue's.

[snapback]23798[/snapback]

hang on. If the meaning of life it to suffer and die, why don't we just slowly suffocate babies as soon as they are born? They will suffer and die, and not have to do any of the boring waiting process called living in the mean time.

Off Topic / Jumping Rant

« on: July 18, 2004, 04:57:57 PM »

I say we keep jumping. In fact, lets encourage it. Every game from now on must have jumping and bunnyhopping as standard. Ok, so they won't be fun to play, but at least Bob will have a lot more of these rants. They are very interesting and entertaining.

Keep up the good work dude.

I thought the "three quaters" view was know as Isometric: an attempt by the programmers to give a pseudo-3D environment without a complicated 3D engine.

You'd have a better chance at convincing your monitor to get up fetch you a soda than getting him to consider any suggestions outside of his or the dev team's

I will have you know, my monitor is hignly trained at collecting sodas from the fridge, and flayra did actually implement one of my ideas into NS. Sorry, it is my fault that stomp exists. (Well, I happened to mention that if an onos jumped, it should send out a shockwave on landing that paralyses nearby marines, so I think that qualifies.)

Instad of going straight to flayra, you need to mention it to one of the people he talkes with regularyl, like Joev or Nem or Coil, some guy who flayra trusts. If they like it, they will mention it to flayra, and he will listen to them. (possibly)




(maybe)




(ok, it's not going to happen)

Dubb was right with the $896,000, but the gazillion was slightly off.

It is just $896,000 (28*16*2000)

« on: May 17, 2004, 02:08:40 PM »

Hmm, actionfest eh? Sounds fun. But please discredit this rumour: I hear that the movie calls the MONSTER Frankenstein. Frankenstein was the nutty professor who MADE the monster. The monster doesn't have a name. Which is a big part of the problem. Tell me that this rumour is wrong and I'll go see the flick.

the rumour is wrong.

the rumour is wrong.

They never call it frankenstien, the doctor is called frankestein.

(yes, i did read U235's post, but, after him calling me a nubtart, I just needed to clarify it)

Off Topic / Gem's Identity Discovered!

« on: May 07, 2004, 04:35:14 PM »

Yes, but there are certain events that can transpire in the womb, the result of which the baby born is neither male or female, and the doctor has to make a desicion about the gender of the baby. When the baby grows up, they are both male and female, and may decide to be the opposite of what is written on the certificate. I saw a TV program about it. The baby was born "male", but was raised as a boy/girl and chose to be a girl, and they needed a court order to change the certificate so she could get married

It does happen.

And besides, who the hell makes up a name such as "Jemma Galbraith"?? If you make up a name, you put something generic, such as Alex Smith or something. I believe that is your real name, or you are more devious than any of us imagined.
