Seriously, you don't realize how much shit gets kicked up...or when it rains, or something. I've never once crashed or dumped the bike (yet), but it's always better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Agreed, keeps your head nice and warm too.

You'd not have to learn ANYTHING. The basics for everything would already be implanted in your head, the rest is up to you to further your knowledge and skills.

Linky
There's a quick show through of the new stuff.

Exactly, and by level 249 it takes longer to kill them with Ray Guns, since it wouldn't be a one hit kill...

The time taken? I have a group of 4 people, complete with Ray Guns, Bowie knives, and the works. Monkey Bombs are amazing.

On Der Reisse you can only get those weapons from the random crate, so how did you do it beforehand?

A sense of time? Me having an amazing time getting to that round I have no idea how long it took.

It'd still take at least 6 hours to get to that level..

I can only say that you should take a look at the leaderboards.

People can still glitch, being on the leaderboards proves fuck all.

The thing that confuses me is what's the point in the ranks? You get nothing for them.

Anyone else got any new bands?

Haha, I did not mean too. I personally really like Rammstein, I checked out a few of the others and I'm not so keen!
Also, two smaller bands that people should check out;
End The Century
and
The Colour Morale.

These guys aren't bad, not as good as Pantera though.

Metallica. Metal. S&M, although being a live album, with songs that were post-1990, is pretty brilliant how they mix both an orchestra with metal. Apart from that, pretty cool.

Totally agree, got all their albums.

New Model Army. Rock. Very wordy on politics and religion and all that, but I think they're really good and have a lot to show in their songs.

I'm going to check these guys out soon.

The Toy Dolls. Punk. It's less political than a lot of punk, but it's more comedic, and I personally love their songs, parodies and covers.

Checking these out too, thanks.

Enter Shikari. Alternative(?). Personally, I really love their fusion of dance music, proper instruments and screaming vocals, though on some songs they can go over the top.

Not bad band, not sure whether I like them, I never took the time.

Pendulum. Drum and Bass. Some songs have their instruments in them, my personal favourite being Propane Nightmares.

Pendulum are great!

Pop Will Eat Itself. I'm notsure how to describe, I just really like their music.

Never heard of them so its worth a listen.

Exactly. All I seethere are Hot Topic-core bands. Typical scene kid :/

Scene? Pantera (Before they came popular)? Sylosis? All That Remains? They are metal bands, not scene stuff. The wide range is due to Rise Against being soft, and the others that I just listed here being heavy. Hot Topic-core bands? I was listening to both ATR and Sylosis WELL before they were popular bud.

I like Bury your dead quite a lot.

House of straw.

They sound like Slipknot, they aren't bad.
Also, another favourite of mine, Misery Signals. Coma

Its coming to that time again where I require the wonderful people of NG to tell me if there's any bands I'm missing out. Most of my bands are either selling out, changing horrendously badly, or not releasing anything yet.
I listen to a wide range of stuff, so here's my favourites. It'd be great if anyone could help.
Bullet For My Valentine, All That Remains, InMe, Pantera, Amber Pacific, Breaking Benjamin, Sylosis, InFlames, Rise Against, Killswitch Engage, 36 Crazyfists and Finch.
I like a lot more, but it'd be great to have some new music. Hopefully this won't only benefit me, but other users will get into the bands posted. Also, if you say a band, could you say what they are similar to band wise, genre wise, and a link to a song by them.

Can someone make me a profile picture.
The only requirements are that it says Bradderz958 or B958 on it somewhere. The rest is up to you. Let your imagination run wild. Dark colours are fine.

I saw the post and got me and 3 others to play together.
There are issues concerning the hitboxes and placements of people. One of my friends was SURE he was behind another, while the other said he wasn't, resulting in his death. I thiink the sniper should do more damage.
As for the others weapons, the only ones used are MG, Assault Rifle, Sniper (Rarely) and Rockets. The Heavy Armour is really over powered, since it takes like, 12 rockets (Did with us at least 4 times).
I don't think (Same with the other guys) that the weapons feel powerful enough. They look cool and stuff, but its nothing special. The voice acting is also terrible.
We all said its a good game, but we probably won't be buying.

Hopefully I'll gather around 10 of my buddies and we'll do it together. I'd love to help out.

Yeah I can imagine. I'll stick around, keep checking out stuff. I wish you all the best mate.

I understand about being needy, but this is two months afterwards, and she made the first move. I guess you're right though. Thanks guys. Mind if I stick around and offer advice to others?

Anyone got any tips for my big old story that's above?

Great game, but very very repetitive. Its really cheap and I suppose if you have a large groups of friends then its great. I'd recommend it, only if you have cash hanging around.

4) DOUBLE POST SORRY.
There are no "perfect" guns that are without jams. If a "nuke-gun" jammed, the bullet would have to be taken out. How would this be done safely? If using a normal gun design the bullet would be ejected onto the floor, with a possible explosion? Guns can also jam in the chamber, or the trigger breaking causing the gun to fire off (all be it not very many..), but again, massive damage.

Right..
Flaws?
1) Temperature and winds are CONSTANTLY changing, so if you fired the bullet, it would slowly lose its velocity and the wind would be effecting it different because it'd be a fucking nuke, so it would have to travel that far.
2) There's no way you're fitting a nuke in a bullet.
3) How would you test the nuke? If it misfired, hundreds would be killed? They wouldn't risk that.

You shouldn't ever try to be something you're not. I'd know this all to well. The worst case she could ditch you later along the line, and your friends may not like the change they see. If anything happens, always stay true to yourself.

You just didn't want a girlfriend who got too drunk like that, then the thing with the other girl happened, no offence, but girl B sounds a bit like a slut so don't let her bother you, she just probably wanted fuck you.

She's really not like that. She's never done anything like this before, and still has her virginity. She means a lot to me because she's a really close friend.

The only thing I would of done different, is that I wouldnt of called the girls nan. I would of told her that if she didn't stop getting drunk like that and getting out of control, then the relationship would be over.

See I told her this a few days before the party and she promised she wouldn't get that drunk, on top of that, she rang her nan (WHILE DRUNK) and said that I was lying about her being drunk.

See the thing is I'm still really down, and don't know what to do about relationships in general, I've had no luck and I still really like Girl B.

Alright I can't take it any more. I'm going to post a very large and detailed account of my life and I would be very thankful for any suggestions any of you can make.

About 5 months ago I went into my first really serious relationship (I'm 16 for the record, me and Girl A as she will now be known as started going out on my birthday). Things were going great, I felt better than ever and stuff was good. I lost my virginity with her, which I wasn't too bothered about and I'm still not to this day. However, we went to about 4 parties all in all, and every time it was horrific.

She got extremely drunk every time and made me feel like shit. Things came to a head at the fourth party. She was smashed that badly that she couldn't move. I've never been drunk and don't plan to, I don't need to be drunk to have a good time. Anyway, I got her phone and rang her Nan, asking what was the best plan. Her Nan said she'd come and pick her up.

Why did I ring? Because I'm not looking after her for the fourth party in a row, I wanted some time with my mates and I wanted to have a good time with the other sober people. I told Girl A, and at this news she flipped. She yelled at me, said I ruined her life, I'm a dick, you know, the works. I eventually left early with my friends and that was it. The next day I called her and ended it. I'd never ended a relationship before, let alone my first serious one. It effected me tremendously. I still stand that it was a valid decision, but since then I've not been happy and things have gone downhill.

I'm telling you this because it was a run up to my next person, Girl B. Girl A made me lose contact with all of my friends. She isolated me from the others, and I was so blind, so STUPID to be lured away from them. Girl B I got close to again, and eventually fell for her and she "fell" for me. I was invited over, but the day before she said she liked me, would do anything, but not a relationship because of the holidays. Still thinking this over I went to her house.

We talked for ages, then started making out. This was fine, it happened at the after party at prom, but this was as far as I thought she'd go. We made out more and then went upstairs to her room. It ended up that my hand was down her pants and visa-versa. She pushed my hand down there, I just followed her lead, I never once pushed it.

Her brother came home and I was kicked out, which was fine. We texted TWICE after this, then she blanked me. The next day she was due to go on holiday, we texted a lot, then she said she ran out of credit and went on holiday. I texted her a few days into her holiday and she texted me back, but said she was out of signal? Girl B I've known for five years and she's never been like this. We then didn't speak for two weeks, until today.

She came back today and my friends told me I should ask what the fuck is going on. I texted her. The response was; I still like you, but don't want a relationship. Its now changed from not jsut because of the holidays, but because she doesn't want a relationship with me. What am I supposed to do now? I feel like shit to be honest, Girl B was there for me after A and she made me feel great and happy again, now I'm back to where I started and feel like crap.

Suggestions? Thoughts? Did I go wrong somewhere?

Yeah but the thing is I'm asking what you would like to see in a video to make it more viewable.

Thanks for the help so far. The problem is, that Haslingden isn't a very active place, and very few events occur. So I'd need some of them to happen. Plus, I'm sure people would get bored with just talking about my town itself. I'd have to throw in some funny videos once in a while.
I'd love to try it, but where and how to start? If I can find out this, I'll give one of the videos a whirl, and perhaps you guys could check it out and criticise?
Also, are there any more ideas?

I have wondered about Vlogging for a long time now, and I was wondering if anyone on NG has any ideas of what kind of videos I could possibly make.
I live in a small town (Haslingden), but it is fairly near to other larger places. I need some ideas, and how to start. Anyone?

People are saying this should've been released as DLC. HOWEVER.
In the latest PCG they do an Interview with the creators of L4D2, and its a complete revamp. They are getting rid of the "Corner Campers" and making L4D more of a survival rather than cheating by using glitches and camping in a room. I'll do a search to try and find the article, but I'm not typing it out.

No. United Offensive was NOT the first PC version, it was the expansion to Call of Duty on PC, however, CoD1 was developed by IW. Finest Hour was NOT developed by IW, it was developed by Spark Unlimited.
