Had some sushi in Newcastle. Was pretty tasty once I ditched the chopsticks and used a fork.

Love their food but those Japanese peeps need to join the 21st century and get some proper cutlery. Not been to a Hungarian restaurant though, what kind of stuff do they serve?

Response to: Can you recommend me a headset? Posted January 3rd, 2012 in Video Games

I'm using a pair from ROCCAT, £64. Big, comfortable, loud with great bass and block almost all outside noise.

Failing that, you could just get a microphone and a pair of those Beats. Me mam got a pair with her new lappy and they are pretty damn sweet.

Sony Online Entertainment.

That kills my interest in this for now. And I really want a decent MMO alternative to WoW.

So why don't you just contribute to the wiki and make it always correct.

This is the process: Go out into woods, kill some animals, obtain their pelts, make leather and leather strips, then spam leather bracers. I only use smithing as a way to gain extra experience now, because I got the upgrade magic items skill, which was all I needed.

Because supplies are plentiful, whereas it takes longer and longer to level combat skills and such. And Iron Daggers are the way to go. Keep them around for when you get access to a good enchant like Banish Daedra or Absorb health, they'll bump the sell price of the daggers use loads.

And when I'm playing a game that doesn't have actual racing in it (Say, GTA, Saints Row, APB), I get in a car and race around anyways.

Never played much NFS except for the free online one. Cop car chases were pretty fun and I like the concept of NFS:The Run but probably won't buy it.

Badly want some kind of racing mod for Battlefield 3. I really like how the light jeeps handle in that game.

Mid 30's, 450+ health. Dragon Armour. Master Difficulty.

And still some things hit horrifically hard. I need to go find the Lord Stone.

Response to: Why Women Aren't Funny Posted January 2nd, 2012 in General

My favourite female comedian is Jo Brand, I love how most of her material is aimed not at taking the piss out of men, but at her body and personality. Some women can be pretty damn funny.

That said, I don't get Miranda. At all.

I have driven. ONCE.

Everybody has refused to get into a car with me since.

So I'm not going anywhere.

Fuck.

Join the club. Got my license when I was 19 on my 3rd test, barely got it.

Haven't driven since then due to the extortionate cost of getting insurance as a young driver. You can end up paying 2-3 times the cost of the car you buy.

Response to: Super Mario 3d L Vs Ocarina Of T 3d Posted January 2nd, 2012 in Video Games

Mario 3D Land. Fresh content and makes better use of the 3D. Also far more suited to portable playing as each of the levels can be done in 1-2 minutes.

OT: I recently had a fairly long dream, woke up forgetting what it was about exactly but 100% I had dreamt it before, years ago. Wierd.

There is an element of that, but it's not too bad on most servers. Your best bet would be to hit up a Metro Conquest 24/7 and just drop medic boxes to whore points so you can get a few of the early rank ups quickly.

I've heard the exp needed to level past 50 is quite big, everything maxed gets you to about level 81 I've heard.

Today I've made an Elevator Tower and a 1500 block section of my Skyrail.

Do be careful, that Elevator can get stuck and you'll need someone to hit the lever to get you out, and you'll probably fall to your death.

My dad and brother tried making some money out of 360 repairs a while back, the actual issue is poor quality equipment in the early production models, some of which would get sent back to them again after they'd fixed them.

If i recall, it was something to do with the heatsinks on the graphics cards been utter shite.
