How much are the price of eggs in China?

[Lance]

Lower than the price of brains in Australia.

[KIGO1987]

LOL funny man Lance.

[Lance]

Brain prices are lower in New Zealand cause there's more sheep there. Compare market prices; it's true!

[KIGO1987]

Don't really have to worry about that. Australia has the most strongest economy in the developed world at this moment in time.

[mdhay]

I am in this thread. :g

[ACE-FLO]

Fried sheep brain looks like scrambled eggs :g it's true... :g

[Lance]

So do fried human brains.

Have you ever tried these 100 year eggs ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HexwRg0TQXc&feature=related

A Chinese delicacy ,usually mixed in with Conjee [rice porridge].
They are a acquired taste,as you can probably imagine

With the really top quality ones, the egg white should be the colour of a dark beer and have a rainbow like effect to the translucency when you cut them up.

The ones that kid is eating are chicken eggs,the original way of making these eggs is to preserve them in horses urine and then bury them for a few weeks.

[Lance]

Tasty as that sounds, I think I'd rather have the brains. Would you pass me the butter and sweet 'n' sour sauce, please?

[mic-dk]

Hmm... I had fried duck feet once. Kinda like crisps/chips.

Holly crap, thats what that Poh Asian chick off Master Chef Australia made in one of the final episodes, probably can find it on youtube somewhere, that stuff stinks big time, the judges couldn't stand the smell, lol.

[abukii]

Ive had a lot of exotic foods before. Interesting. Frog legs really DONT taste like chicken. They taste more like fresh water fish with that "gamey" flavor. Not bad tho...:bat

[IH8YOU]

So... Horse urine? Yum. Do they put eggs into a jar and swoop in once the horse lets it rip? Interesting visuals come into play here.

[KIGO1987]

Fcuk, now i feel sick:blarg Asians eat anything.

Now how can i add USD to an american account on the PSN from Australia? There are some PSone classics i want to buy but are not available to purchase on the Aus store, only on the US store, Rally Cross is what im after.

Anybody done this before? A credit to a different PSN store that isnt in there location?

[ACE-FLO]

IH8You - Designer_79 is in Shanghai

100 yr eggs are a foul thing - Yuck!!!

EDIT: I am of South Asian origin - and er no, Kigo. We don't "eat" anything :D we eat good tasty food, loike curry and rice :D samosas :D Fish and chips :D and roast chicken :D just a few things I had to eatr in the last 48 hours...

[BulletWraith]

Anybody done this before? A credit to a different PSN store that isnt in there location?
just buy a PSN card from Play-Asia (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-16e-49-en.html) or similar

-kiwi Stevie

[KIGO1987]

Nice nice, thanks for the link, just bookmarked it, i might look into buying one for the US store, as well as the Jap store (thats if i can figure out how to add Yen to that account). Cheers.

Random Question;
How many different PS store are there in the work anyway?

AU/AUS/EU/ASIA/JAP .......is that it?

[abukii]

Yup, thats the way to do it. Optionally, I can pick one up and mail it to you. If you dont pay me, Ill just use it for myself LoL:D

*eddit to add* Every WO fan needs to get on this NOW'ish...

http://www.myspace.com/theprodigy

[ACE-FLO]

The Prodigy has always rocked... the last album was disappointing at first, but grew on me real fast. Now I believe it's right up there with the others...

... anyway, the reason I'm posting is because I'm at work til 7pm today, which is a big pain. I'm bloody hungry now and it's gonna take me half hour to get home. I'm normally finished for the day between 4pm and 5pm, so staying til 7pm really sucks :(

[Aeroracer]

im playing wipeout with a hot water bottle to keep me warm cos im cold and a bit tired:P

[KIGO1987]

Polar opposite here, mid 30s here yesterday, as well as today, can't get FA sleep at all. Good weather to go to the beach with, not good for any decent runs on Wipeout though, too hot.

[mdhay]

Is it just me or are Pot Noodles now rubbish? :blarg

[ACE-FLO]

Pot Noodles are vile! I thought I'd try the Bombay Badboy flavour - never again...

... that flavour tasted like crap! Shoulda called it Bombay Slums!

[mdhay]

They never used to be - I just stick the the Chicken and Mushroom one, though I do pick all the fake sweetcorn and fake mushrooms out first. :D

[Amorbis]

As a long time Pot Noodle gourmand I have noticed the change in Pot Noodle taste, MDhay. Back about five or so years ago Pot Noodles were excellent, the best snack you could make in under five minutes. Nowadays the recipe seems to have been changed to cater for new food regulations with reduced salt etc.

I used to love the bacon noodles but they discontinued them, now the only good flavour is beef and tomato.

[OBH]

i found out today my mates older bro has 76 gigs of porn - 76!!!!!! :g thats not a collection, its the entirity of the internet! if porn was food he could wipe out hunger! Some people need to get out more, i dont even have a pc ffs xD

[mdhay]

...I used to love the bacon noodles but they discontinued them....

Speaking of discontinued stuff, I once got some Cola flavoured doughnuts from the Morrisons store here. Yum.:donut

OBH - I bet it's all rubbish (If he's got that many, well, it can't say much for the industry). Not that I'd know, of course.:)

[abukii]

Never heard of them. But around here we have "Chow Mein" which is owned by Ramen, which is owned by...anyway, theyre the bomb-diggity and only 1 dollar each (about 50 pents +/-).

@OBH-- more like he needs a girlfriend...

[mdhay]

Maybe he has so much because his girlfriend's in it? :lol

[OBH]

OBH - I bet it's all rubbish (If he's got that many, well, it can't say much for the industry). Not that I'd know, of course.:)

ive seen it! xD labeled nice and discreetly under "my pornography" :g

As for pot noodles, their awesome, super noodles however is just turd in a sachet.

[yeldar2097]

I don't like either, "noodle king" is my fave brand :g

I don't suppose anyone knows how I can check what BIOS my laptop is running if it won't boot (POST failure --> blank screen)?

[ACE-FLO]

Turn your laptop on, and keep the F2 key held down - I think!

[NightArh]

yeldar2097 look at the label on BIOS chip (warranty void). You can also try to reset CMOS memory and return BIOS to factory settings (Need to disassemble laptop too)

2 Ace: No self-test on power on = no everything even keyboard

[ACE-FLO]

Oh, ok :)

Yeldy - Hope you sort it now!

[yeldar2097]

Dammit this is really annoying, all my lovely music and other crap is stranded behind enemy lines :bomb
I want to get the stuff off my laptop...Will sticking the HDDs into another computer still work if my HDDs are in RAID 0 (stripe?) and I can only do one at a time?

I still have warranty/insurance so I might hold off going inside the laptop for now...

[KIGO1987]

RANDOM QUESTION:

If you purchase a download game off the PSN store, how many times are you allowed to download it off the PSN store to your PSP or PS3? 3, 4 or 5 times??

[yeldar2097]

5
characters are nice

[Asayyeah]

Gareth if i resume quickly the situation you got a laptop with 2 hdd's in raid 0 ( to get better speed access for datas), while trying to boot you got no sound, POST failure and black screen, is it?

If your laptop is under warranty and you send it back i am pretty sure all your datas will be deleted, best would be to take off the 2 Hdds : there's a trap at the back of your pc you can open it ( ala ps3 without avoiding your warranty) and put them together in a station : you could be able to access to your datas easily.

Can you hear the sound of the HDDs spinning? the CPU fan as well ( i know that sounds hard for a laptop and not opening it to know if things are ok or not).
My little opinion on this it deals with the power supply connector from your motherboard, it's mostly the weakest part of laptops in general.

Seems also that few motherboards doesn't really support perfectly Raid systems ( eventhough they mention they can easily do it) that causes system being unstable

[NightArh]

RANDOM QUESTION:

If you purchase a download game off the PSN store, how many times are you allowed to download it off the PSN store to your PSP or PS3? 3, 4 or 5 times??

You can download purchased stuff infinite times to your activated system once you bought it.


you could be able to access to your datas easily
All data will be voided after RAID 0 initialization on new system. Not every RAID controller allows to repair RAID array created with other controller

[Asayyeah]

damn you're right mate :(


Gareth just one thing told by my bro-in-law : unplug the batteries for few minutes and replug them .... who never knows....

[Lance]

Speaking of discontinued stuff, I once got some Cola flavoured doughnuts from the Morrisons store here. Yum.:donut

Sounds tasty. And likely better than doughnut-flavoured cola. :)

[mdhay]

Oh, they were. :donut
Anyway, I've just finished my coursework. Go me. :beer

[ACE-FLO]

I wana do'nut.

[yeldar2097]

Thanks for the info Asa/NightArh.

@Asa: I'm pretty sure the problem is my GFX card in some way: I get 3 beeps (long - short - short) and a blank screen. According to my research this means GFX issues...
I will try your battery suggestion and hope for the best :)

I know I can get it repaired but I have 150Gb of music on there and I don't want to lose it, my music collection is my life :(

Cola-flavoured whaaaaaat?? How the bloody hell? Sounds funky

[mdhay]

Cola - jelly doughnuts.

[NightArh]

Yes you have a problem with your graphic card Yeldar. I burned my graphic card few days ago too :P Writing message from ps3 system eehhh You can believe me or not but I have tons of hardware at work that failured last days. I dont know how to explain this :) maybe carma hehe

[yeldar2097]

I spoke to some guy about using r-studio and putting the HDDs into the back of a desktop. Whaddya reckon? should I try it?

[IH8YOU]

Venture Brothers Season 4 just aired.

Epic. #($*ing. Win!

I am not familiar with R-Studio so I cant give you advice. Sorry :)

[Aeroracer]

whitney houston was on xfactor last night singing her comeback song and she was stoned out of her head..lol

and cheryl cole was dresed as m bison out of street fighter singing about fighting for love....:dizzy

[Asayyeah]

I am not familiar with R-Studio
I haven't even heard of that software

Gareth , i thought you were saying you had no sounds at all when trying to boot, sorry for misreading :(

[yeldar2097]

Sorry mate I wasn't very clear :paperbag

:D

yeah I get 3 beeps and a blank screen (long beep followed by two short beeps). Either Display adapter issue or motherboard methinks...

Gonna try R-studio, apparently it can be used to rebuild RAID arrays...

[IH8YOU]

Gaz - my Apple did exactly that 2 years back when a ram-module wasn't completely seated in the slot. I lost a 5 dollar bet over it.

I've also seen that behavior on a Pee Cee - though it was one long continuous beep - immediately at power-on, followed by the screen blacking out.

Hope you get it fixed either way!

At least you can afford to fix it now. ;)

[KGB]

I haven't even heard of that software

Gareth , i thought you were saying you had no sounds at all when trying to boot, sorry for misreading :(

Who's Gareth?

[yeldar2097]

-_-
After all this time KGB :(
:P

[KGB]

What!! :P Should i know this already, it's very nice to know you Gareth....Dutch, English and now a bit of Welsh too.

[yeldar2097]

Don't tell anyone about that last bit or I'll eat you :P

[Amorbis]

Does that mean we can call you Gaz, Yeldar? :P
And there's nothing wrong with the last bit... ;)

[KIGO1987]

WTF???

What the flying fu*k, kigo talks **** around? LOL, KIGO "FTA"!. No more chit chats with him then. XD (Alex, sorry for spamming your board )

Cheers.


Ace said that you've been "telling us off" something. So that's that.


What the flying **** is being made up here??? Who is the cuntface making bullshit and spreading bullshit around???

[yeldar2097]

Does that mean we can call you Gaz, Yeldar? :P
And there's nothing wrong with the last bit... ;)

Some people already do (you know who you are). You're a bit late on the scene but I guess you can join in the fun. After all, you're my killing buddy :g

erm...yes there is... :lol

[IDReaper]

People call you Gaz? Wow I never knew. =D

Spoke to Arch all sorted.

Ace wtf type of weed are you on now?? weed that makes you paranoid and make bullshit up and send it to Alex?

[ACE-FLO]

OK - gonna explain all this as best as I can Kigo - I was having a debate/argument with Alex regarding pulse servers going down ok? And you caught it, thus posted in my VMs about why the pulse crew is arguing. Anyway, I wasn't arguing with Arch -he probably didnt know what was going on coz he's at uni...

... and probably saw the posts ip in my profile VMs, and Alexs' VMs too - thus causing much confusions. I have edited my VM posts in Alexs' profile to avoid any further craziness/confusion here - bottom line, from my end we're all good and I am sorry if I have caused confusion and animosity between friends.

If there is anything further, let me know and I'll get on it!

[IH8YOU]

First - don't ask why I've been reading up on Bombardier beetles, I've got issues.

But I did find a vid with an interesting trance / chill type song in the 1st half. Anyone able to ID it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pib9qT-pccI&feature=related

I'll get you a cookie.

[abukii]

Dont quote me on this, but it sounds like AIR...

[IH8YOU]

Any more info about it (which album)? Even my bud heard the song and asked who it was (he was not aware I was watching videos of beetles exploding their enemies).

If I could speak German and/or had a youtube account - I'd ask him myself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pib9qT-pccI&feature=related

Its up to 2 cookies now, FYI.

Infact you could probably have squeezed david bowie into that picture too. :beer

[yeldar2097]

I know her ;)

Personally I don't think she's that hot but most of my friends are in love with her.
I still would though :P

/names dropping

@OBH: BEST...PIC...EVER :+

[KGB]

It's the posh accent and way she holds that big wand.
I would as well though it may be pedofilia

[OBH]

Its not that, its the horse face.

[yeldar2097]

@KGB: You want her number? ;)

...actually no, you're a liverpool suppporter :bomb

It was a dark night in 1843 and Mrs Treebaup was taking a sh*t. Sadly, she had run of bog-roll so she went across the way to ye olde shoppy to buy some arse-rags. She never returned, and it is said that a big dog with f**k-off teeth came and done her in. It is said that the dog will return the next time someone runs out of bog-roll.
sh*t! you f**king would if you'd seen it! :lol

A story I heard once :P

[OBH]

Lets get it, wanna tell her Lindsay Lohan was better :g (despite being a total nut bag!)

[yeldar2097]

so how was halloween? :bat

[KIGO1987]

Had fun egging richy snooby houses and expensive cars with a few mates last night, good time, lol.

Alot of chicks here wearing school uniforms and nurses outfits last night :g

BTW Lance, where did your visitor message page go?

[Lance]

It didn't go anywhere.

You have a lot of unresolved grudges, one of which is demonstrated by your Halloween behaviour.

[KIGO1987]

I guess i do Lance, but there is much satisfaction to get revenge from people who have screwed or backstabbed you and/or your mates in the past :g

Also a good way to make optimum use of cage chicken eggs as well :P

[Lance]

Revenge should only be taken on the specific people who have done you specific harm. I wonder who gets to clean up the mess you made.

The more eggs that are used for any purpose whatever, then the more chickens there are that will be caged and mistreated. Your wastage of the eggs means that those eggs will be have to be replaced with more so that people can eat them, and therefore more chickens will suffer. Use your mind next time before you do something.

[KIGO1987]

The people of revenge where selected well, and from optimal distance from the main destination that we where driving too.

Well the people that would of have to clean the mess would be the idiots who irritated us off in the first place. Also if they where not quick to remove the egg contents from the sides of there car soon, the egg yoke would begin to stick really hard to the paint work of the car, making it impossible to remove.

Well me and my mates only had enough money to pay for the caged eggs as the Free range and the ponsy hippy greeny eggs would of meant we would of had lesser driving petrol money to get to our destination. Im sure if the chickens knew what we did with there eggs, they probably would of asked if they could come along for the car ride, to join in the fun and enjoy the hype of the moment. Plus the remaining eggs made for a fantastic omelette the following day for breakfast too. So nothing went to waste at the end.

[Lance]

It is my opinion that you are a very selfish person who attempts to justify doing wrong with arguments that do not hold up to realistic analysis.

This fantasy that the chickens would approve is totally unrealistic. And you're too poor to waste the more expensive eggs of better treated chickens? It's still waste. How do you think the chickens would feel about what you did to the product of their efforts, hm?

What exactly did those people whom you tried to revenge yourself upon do to you?

[willsgb13]

went to barfly and saw a couple of good bands, then had a dance with my mate, and even met and danced with one band who impressed me greatly... good times

[abukii]

I had a pretty good Halloween. No candy or anything like that. Just a 12 pack, an 18 pack and a couple pints in an Irish (IRA) bar. Talk about awkward, man...

Did land Borderlands though. It was a 4-4 1/2 hour journey. God I hate busses in this state. Came home, fell asleep for about 30 mins and got my hands on some game time around 11pm or so, me thinks. Had a couple guests...pretty much another day (with A LOT more beer):+

[OBH]

For my halloween i was in 2cb land :g

@ Lance
While i hugely respect your a guy with morals, not everyone adheers to the same personal rules as yourself. Surely KIGO wouldn't have used the word "revenge" if it wasnt against "specific people who have done you specific harm" as you said so yourself.

Otherwise he'd have said "I got bored and started egging houses" :g

[ACE-FLO]

He did egg houses... :D

[OBH]

i know he did! :g i'm saying it wasn't out of sheer boredom :beer

[ACE-FLO]

IS it just me or does everyone fancy an omlette now? :D

It's probably just me... I missed lunch today... :D

[KIGO1987]

I might go for some Round 2 egging now too:g

Except, im not doing the driving this time, i want to be the egg thrower this time:g

[mizunoori]

KIGO aren´t you afraid to get caught?
If someone witness the mission, they will know it was you??

[ACE-FLO]

It's probably a part of the thrill, I imagine... :lol

[omega329]

I spent Halloween playing Quake Live >_>
:paperbag

[KIGO1987]

KIGO aren´t you afraid to get caught?
If someone witness the mission, they will know it was you??

There where other people egging and TPing that night too all over the city, would of been a waste of Police resources hunting serial eggers down, instead of paroling the Red Light district.

Funny thing the guy at the 24 hour deli said to us, your probably the 15th lot of people to buy eggs tonight XD :lol

[Lance]

Funny thing, I still haven't heard exactly what the people you took "revenge" against actually did to you. I have to wonder if their 'crime' was equal to your 'punishment'. Is the karma really in balance now?

@ Lance
.....Surely KIGO wouldn't have used the word "revenge" if it wasnt against "specific people who have done you specific harm" as you said so yourself. ....


Oh, really? Just how sure are you of the accuracy of his use of words, considering his past posting record and general temperament?

abukii: ?They have IRA bars in Rhode Island?! :D

Lance-- Apparently so. I am a SHARP (Skinhead Against Racial Prejudice). Not afraid to strut my stuff either...but this bar is whacky. Wont be going there soon. Its only the second time Ive been there though...now I know better.

You seem very interested in what i do in my life Lance.

[infoxicated]

Well, you do like providing us with little insights - maybe we want the whole picture of the legend that is Kigo. :)

[KIGO1987]

Must be the Australian way of life that makes it so interesting.

Those eggs thrown on Halloween night have baked quite nicely though, through the recent hot days here. Its attracted quite a few bob tail lizards as well, nearly got attack by one of the bastards. They sit still in wait. Managed to put it in a bucket, but it has found its way out. I think the people across the road must of got it, and boiled it in there soup or something. Was going to see if i could sell it or something.

[BulletWraith]

'picture', I doubt we'll ever be able to squeeze a photo outta him

had a great day today, hung out with me Nan in the city, couple of my friends joined us, Lottie stayed with us to see a lovely animation film called Ponyo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BfNtYF94cQ&feature=related) by Studio Ghibli, also today I tired a Vodka and Redbull Sorbet, it was wonderful!, I don't drink alcohol so it took a little convincing but now I'm hooked :D
and I finally went back to martial arts class yesterday, teacher was away so we didn't get caned(I kinda miss it) then after MA I went to a lecture on the wiccan coven by a great guy called Bob who I've seen do other lectures, did a great one on astral projection a couple months back.
also started going to a Yoga/meditation meetup, that coupled with doing martial arts I think I'll quit my Tai Chi class as I don't think my teacher knows as much as I'd like
oh and I just got an email from a Buddhist Qigong group asking if I want to hang with them, sounds great!

kindof a big post, but I'm just feeling happy and felt like sharing as my life's been pretty meh/downward spirally for quite awhile up until the last week or so

[KIGO1987]

Dont get addicted on Red Bull, drains your wallet. I love there new sized cans though, still cheaper to get a 500ml Mother can over a 250ml Red Bull can, that with vodka gets you pissed quick, and it is also that time of the year, summer is here, beach weather, piss ups, fangs sessions, clubbing. I can see why so many pommy bastards are migrating here on a permanent basis.

[yeldar2097]

Nice post zer0 :)

Vodka and RB sorbet??? Must be awesome! I want I want :g

[KIGO1987]

Damn good stuff to have here this time of the year, enjoy the beach, get pissed and chillout at the same time, cops cant confiscate it at all, since it doesnt look like piss.

[Harvai]

Dont get addicted on Red Bull, drains your wallet.

Don't drink the fruit juice (yellow can) Monster, either. I've drunk it so the rest of you don't have to...

Vodka and Red Bull? Yaegerbombs? I think I'll stick to my bourbon and cola, thanks. In saying that, that RB and Vodka sorbet that zer0 mentioned would do wonders on a hot day. Ooh, and christmas is coming up, too. Always a hot time down under...

[OBH]

I can see why so many pommy bastards are migrating here on a permanent basis.

Oi, i plan on migrating if i ever get a change to! Im definitely a pommy, but definitely not a bas..... alright im a bastard too :beer

Its still dirt heap wine for my piss up drink of choice :g though dont do the centurion challenge with wine.... my god my insides......

[KIGO1987]

Well your a teacher arent you OBH, well your welcomed to come to Perth then. As well we need some more teachers as well as country wide. Give that you arent a posny chardonnay sipper, which i doubt you are. you can come.

Im sure you are going to love the summer 40+ temps as well as the flys. Live close enough to the beach and you'll be able to get the seabreeze and you'll be fine.

Cost of living here is about half of what it is in the UK. Plus you dont have to drive around in 1 liter diesel engines here.

Weather here the past few weeks has been perfect so to speak, probably one of the reasons why im not much on the PS3 on WOHD recently.

[Lance]

KIGO the class clown/fool & Lance the teacher/unamused
will it ever end?

It will cease when KIGO grows up and becomes a responsible human. Or when he leaves. Or when I leave. Or when he has been an insufferable ass for so long that somebody bans him and makes it stick. Or until Infoxicated says stop and I say okay I will.


You seem very interested in what i do in my life Lance.

I see what you do here and wonder what your atrocious behaviour is based on, why your responses to life are so inaccurate and so unfair. I wonder why you are so ready to assume things that are not true, and so ready to punish when there has been no wrongdoing.

And I notice that you again failed to justify your behaviour. Can it be that your answer to my question about what they had done to you to be deserving of your damaging their property and therefore also their finances and the consumption of their time, is it possible that your answer would show that they had not done anything to deserve what you did to them? I am interested because I'm a person with a strong sense of justice, and would like to help end your immature behaviour by pointing out how your non-objective judgements are hurting other people unnecessarily.

[ACE-FLO]

... Now that's moderating on a whole new level... but it is somewhat, justified.

Kigo, mate - he does have a good point. The whole 'makin' a play' then 'ducking for cover' whilst everyone else is brewing, waiting for a response/justification from you (which you shy away from) is an emerging pattern noticed by many, here at WZ. Which reminds me - where's that copy of my PM you claimed went public, fell into your posession somehow, and caused you offence- i need to see it, coz i have a feeling it has been doctored to cause you offence... when really, I should be the one who is offended for having my PM to someone, being made public... a bannable offence here. Now, Kigo, notice how Ihaven't reported this as yet, as I wanted to give you ample time to come forward and produce my PM... but you are stalling (2 weeks) and I i'm in two minds whether I should report it. I agree with Lances post above mine, as the proof is in the pudding, as they say... people don't forget stuff, Kigo...

So uh...

Anybody Catch the Cowboys and Eagles game on Sunday?

[Lance]

No, but yesterday and last night my computer spent almost ten and a half hours formatting a 1 terabyte harddrive in an external box.

And I watched.

Television. Instead of mistakenly touching the touchpad too hard when the cursor was over the wrong thing. No way was I gonna browse the 'net and maybe have to do the whole thing again.

[KIGO1987]

... Now that's moderating on a whole new level... but it is somewhat, justified.

Kigo, mate - he does have a good point. The whole 'makin' a play' then 'ducking for cover' whilst everyone else is brewing, waiting for a response/justification from you (which you shy away from) is an emerging pattern noticed by many, here at WZ. Which reminds me - where's that copy of my PM you claimed went public, fell into your posession somehow, and caused you offence- i need to see it, coz i have a feeling it has been doctored to cause you offence... when really, I should be the one who is offended for having my PM to someone, being made public... a bannable offence here. Now, Kigo, notice how Ihaven't reported this as yet, as I wanted to give you ample time to come forward and produce my PM... but you are stalling (2 weeks) and I i'm in two minds whether I should report it. I agree with Lances post above mine, as the proof is in the pudding, as they say... people don't forget stuff, Kigo...

wtf??!!????

What the hell are you talking about? Are you speaking about that PM you sent to Alex, that he forwarded to Arch, that i found out about? That was like a month ago now.

[ACE-FLO]

i'm wondering if my PM ever went Public, coz i learnt about it's leak from you - trusted your word - confronted Smad - got reassurance from him that he'd done no such thing - then I asked you to forward me that PM - and got blanked? i'm asking you again to produce that PM, if you can't, then what am I supposed to think Kigo?

i wanna know who I can trust here, and who to be wary of... just protecting my best interests, i have no doubt you are doing the same!!! :?

[KIGO1987]

**** it, now im pissed.

Arch showed me a line from a PM you sent to Alex. Which he got all angry at me about, which i didnt know wtf it was about, took me a week to clear up the mess with Arch. Arch showed me a line from the message, he sent it over to me on messenger. It got cleared up. I received one line from that PM that is all,

AND I TOLD YOU THIS ALREADY, WHY AM I REPEATING MYSELF.

[ACE-FLO]

drop the caps, i can't hear you shouting :D

Arch quoted you a line out of a PM which I sent to Smad? what line? I wanna know man. i have never sent anything juicy enough in PM to Smad!

as for it taking a week to 'clear that shitt up' ... did you forget me? it's been a month and aint nothing clear here!

[KIGO1987]

I dont like posting peoples private conversations from messenger over here, but Arch isnt a member here, so Robert cant ban him twice.

Kigo informs me of you and Arch getting all furious with me for my posts...

It was on Alex's VM box as well, but ive looked, but he has removed it.

"Kigo informs me of you and Arch getting all furious with me for my posts..."
This is the line here.

Which i had to correct since of its bs.

[ACE-FLO]

yes, that was in a VM not a PM - look in your latest VMs, it's all suddenly so clear, I bloody well solved this mysery, now I can sleep, but first - a schmoke!

Kigo, i'm sorry you had to go through this, really, I am. But you worked through this with me and I won't forget your effort to put my mind at peace. I thank you, Kigo!

[KIGO1987]

Bloody mess tbh. The crap has been resolved. Which is good.

[SaturnReturn]

Thank goodness for that. I was starting to worry that you two would never kiss and make up. This was a very one on one kinda thing though, so taking KIGO's own advice would have been a good way to deal with it I think. Just in general, particularly private issues may well be better solved in private (PSN, PMs, MSN etc). What do you reckon?



But i usually these days talk on one on one problems and problem solving over the PSN these days.

[BulletWraith]

I saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus yesterday, I think I thoroughly enjoyed it, some nice visuals, enjoyed the story and it had enough fairy dust to keep me awake : ). had my 2nd day back at Gung Fu today, I could barely do 30 pressups, I feel like such a wussie, drank so much Chinese tea after, so great to be back

anyone seen any good movies lately?, I've missed allot



It will cease when KIGO grows up and becomes a responsible human. Or when he leaves. Or when I leave. Or when he has been an insufferable ass for so long that somebody bans him and makes it stick. Or until Infoxicated says stop and I say okay I will.


what I said was mostly in jest and generally agree with your tutelage of KIGO, perhaps if he hangs around here long enough he'll grow out of his assholiosis

Yep.

Ace talk to me on the PSN next time, since you have a PS3 now. Thats my communications HUB atm, and damn is it busy, more incoming and outgoing flights out of my PSN mailing system that Heathrow Airport. Barely have anytimes to play any games on the PS3 these days, just returning peoples messages all of the time. Messenger is stuffing up on this computer ever since the new update.

Talk later :)

[BulletWraith]

how do you guys chat on PSN?, headset or keyboard, I haven't tried it but I see that the video chat is pretty good


-zer0

[KIGO1987]

keyboard is the way to go in a chatbox, unless you have a really good and stable net connection, you can opt for the headset.

[abukii]

Yep. I have a usb keyboard and a Motorolla H700 bluetooth headset, but, I am constantly talking to a friend in England and we rarely have any trouble with voice/ video chat. Does anyone have and/ or use the little keyboard attachment for the controller? I am seriously thinking of getting one. Any reviews from you folks?

[yeldar2097]

works nicely, quite hard to get used to though.

haven't used it for a while because my friend stepped on it so it's al bent out of shape...handy little accessory

[ACE-FLO]

PSN messaging and chat is too damn hectic, but I'll give it a shot. :)

[KIGO1987]

A cheapie USB keyboard is the way to go, like what i have. Reply to messages really fast.

[ACE-FLO]

good move, i'll have to get one soon too!

[abukii]

Yea, I agree, Kigo. USB keyboard is the bomb-diggity. Most of the time I sit at the PC with the PS3 on though (listening to music, etc). When I get a message, I either need to "text" back or get up and use the keyboard. Blah. So I was curious about that little gadget. Depending on price (which I havent researched yet) Ill probably pick one up sometime before the weeks end.

[BulletWraith]

been thinking about it too, but I'll probably just end up getting a wireless usb keyboard, logitech make(what looks to be) a great keyboard for the PS3 that has a track pad built into it (found it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VCHdcGjx9I)), but its a bit pricey so I'll probably end up getting a cheap M$ keyboard

-zer0

[Lance]

Wireless keyboards are great. I started out on the internet with WebTV, which had wireless keyboards as their standard, although they had a PS2 connector for IBM-and-clones wired keyboards on the back. What was extra cool about their keyboard was that WebTV had an extra keyboard command layer and a third extra button to use it just as you did with alt and ctrl. It gave you international 'accent' marks for multiple languages plus other symbols, too. But anyway, yeah, wireless is the way to go if your situation allows it.

[yeldar2097]

Took me 5hrs to get to work this morning instead of 40mins...
Had a splitting headache from 11:00 - 19:30...
Got told that as of 13/11/09 @ 17:30 I will no longer have a job...

Awesome :(

[SaturnReturn]

WTF? What happened?

[yeldar2097]

Basically just a pretty **** day.

Yes, yes, no swearing, whatever, I'll edit my post tomorrow :P

Took 5hrs to get to work because there was a fatal accident on the A3 this morning so they closed the road when I was on it. seeing people walking around on a motorway is just weird. ~15mile tailback I think, possibly more...
Too many cigs + loud music + stress from being 3 1/2 hrs late for work = headache
Our tech support team is being reduced from 36 people down to 4-5 people because there aren't enough email/phone queries coming in. I'm new-ish so I got the boot along with some others :(

[SaturnReturn]

No need to edit. Sometimes even I find it's justified. Even if it wasn't I probs wouldn't mind. I've settled in and chilled out now, I hope.

That sounds like a harsh day. It's not even Friday 13th yet. Make sure to get a good ref. if you can. Having only been there such a short time, that might look bad on your CV, which is totally the opposite of what you want. Although I am speculating to be honest, as I've thankfully not been in that position. Just would hate to see it end up a bad thing after all the effort.

It sucks that it's over already as you seemed to be enjoying it. Don't they have to give you more notice than that?

[yeldar2097]

Yes they are supposed to but they're been having issues recently. They probs would have told me earlier if I hadn't been so late...
Actually it's because I was so awesome that the backlog of emails (which has been backlogged for about a years) has been cleared 8)

[mdhay]

Let me get this straight - they fired you because of an accident that you have/ had absolutely no influence over?

Complete BS. I'd be glad to leave if I were you. :+

[SaturnReturn]

mdhay - I get the impression it might have been coincidental. A loss of 80 % (-ish) of the department is bound to see the new guys go, even if it's just because they'll give less hassle over it than the longer serving ones. If yeldar did them as much of a favour as he says then I think they should take a gamble on potential personally. He can't be too expensive to hire I wouldn't have thought (no offense - my situation is the same), so potentially could save them money in the long run.

[mdhay]

I didn't read that bit as much. :g Yeah, they [corporations] care more about money then their employees getting them it. :blarg

[yeldar2097]

Well I'm a temp and there's no longer enough work to warrant having 36 people their so only the senior know-it-all (satnav-wise) people are staying on. emails are going to become automated too so there's no need for us there either....

Bit of a shame really, I quite liked it there

[ACE-FLO]

nevermind Yeldar, schitt happens mate. I got my notice a month ago. As of mid January, i'll be moving from paper to electronic media lol. Something I have no experience in, and my job title will change too. I'll be a Feature Planner and Advertising manager. I hate selling ad space, the feature planning is the fun part of the job...but I won't be involved with the Energy Supply/Turbo Machinery projects in my new role, they got me to agree to work on our failing Shipping portfolio of clients... should be fun, not! I'm gonna start looking for an alternative, I don't really fancy working on the shipping/freight projects, not really feeling it tbh.

EDIT: the hours are messed up too! One week out of four, I have to get business from th US, which means working nights... this is gonna mess me up silly. :(

[Triakis^3]

Sounds like a lot of work you do there ACE-FLO?

What work did you do before that?

[yeldar2097]

Upon trying to access Playstation Store on my PS3: "This service is not available in your country/region"

I'm in the UK you fool and I've used you before!

Get the same on my other UK-based account...

Anyone else getting this? Is it down for maintenance?

[SaturnReturn]

Will check and edit this post after. Uno momento por favor.

EDIT: Yup, same here.

Damn, MGS was going to be on the store, too. >.<

[Lance]

Those last four posts sound suspiciously like they're really about WipEout.

I quote from the title of this very thread. "Chat about anything that's not WipEout."

[SaturnReturn]

Only one of them was. The others were genuinely about the PSN store. How can you be so suspicious Lance, when we're all so angelic? Look at my angelic little face-->:evil See? :P

On a related note. I think we need a smilie with a halo. We have both :evil and :twisted. Given how easily influenced the youth of today is, these smilies are surely encouraging bad behaviour. Just wait until the media gets hold of this! There'll be outrage. Maybe we should give the evil smilies an 18 rating.:rolleyes:

[Lance]

Evil smilies are most particularly useful in relation to the under-18s, both for use by them and about them. :g

When one has been a mod as long as I have, one is quite naturally and too often justifiably suspicious. Yup.

[omega329]

Anyone still playing Quake Live?

[RedScar]

I never got to try out QL, since I don't use Java (and I believe its a java based system). Here it is great fun though.

[yeldar2097]

Its really really windy today and all the trees in my garden are shedding leaves like nobody's business. Dead pretty :D

I feel like I'm in the crystal dome :lol

[mic-dk]

I have removed any reference to The Game That Shall Not Be Mentioned In This Thread in my post.

Apologies.

[Lance]

Thank you.
All four of those posts were about the same old thing we always see in the WipEout section of the forum; that's why I wanted to steer things back on their no-course course. :D

[mdhay]

My PSP won't work. Power switch won't work for some reason.:(

[q_dmc12]

Wow, could be anything..:sonar

[mdhay]

You know how the switch can't move to the top of the gap? Well, it can. And I was playing SWBF: Elite Squdron too. Droids aren't going to kill themselves... >.<

The PSN store failing? That's what yeldar's post was about. I went and checked and quickly replied. I didn't even try starting up that other thing. The thread title does say anything that's not. This was definitely something that's not. Perhaps it wasn't too interesting. Sorry to have disappointed with the mundaneness of it. :|

[ACE-FLO]

reckon its a good idea to have a 'zoners recipes' thread? i wouldnt mind cooking traditional foods from far off places...

[abukii]

LoL...Ill teach you all how to make a cheeseburger j/k
Itd be interesting though.

[ACE-FLO]

:) I make curries n kebabs, swap ya! :D

[abukii]

Sweeeeeet!!
Seriously...when Im not Painting and/or building houses, when Im not developing [something], I work in the restaurant industry. Its always something I loved, so I am totally down to swap recipes ;)

[Rachel Johnson]

I have a mean vindaloo recipe. :P

[yeldar2097]

Haha, vindaloo.

Never had one and I don't intend to, it wouldn probs kill me :P
I know how to make quite a lot of Indonesian stuff but I have no idea what any of it is called. Wacky descriptions ahoy!

Got given a new lava lamp yesterday, tis blue, chuffed to bits I am :g

[BulletWraith]

speaking of food
this vegan right here was cooking some snarlers on the barbie today
and chicken and a few steaks, it was very surreal, I know now I could definitely cook up human bits quite comfortably :nod

[Mr Phlanj]

ahh vindaloo is ace. the trick to any spicy food is to not stop for anything ESPECTAILY a drink, you get the wrong drink and bam! it's 110x times worse

[Lance]

"this vegan right here was cooking some snarlers on the barbie today"

Snarlers? Do you mean moderators? ;)

[yeldar2097]

What's a snarler? :)

Oh I know the feeling. Once had a massive gulp of Diet Coke whilst eating something too hot for words; village error - I nearly died I swear!

That was a few years back, I've only just recovered :D

[Mr Phlanj]

i once had a phal curry and got half way thorugh and ingnoring my own wisdom i had a big gulp of beer and i could barely talk for hours

and i do like the idea of a recipie thread evern tho i'll only be able to add a spag'boll to it, it still would be good fun

[BulletWraith]

yeh, I was kinda using Aussie lingo
I was cooking 'sausages' on the 'barbecue'

I haven had vindaloo before, just heard about it in the song, wasn't it an anthem for the football at one point?

Churr

[Mr Phlanj]

"coz were gonna scoooooore oooonnnee moooore than youuuuu!! ENGLAND!!"

[Lance]

Ah, so you meant bangers. :D ;)

[yeldar2097]

I thought beer and curry was supposed to be a classic British combo??
Now I'm lost :g

*not a beer drinker here (or wine or champers...or gin :lol)*

VINDALOO!! VINDALOO!! VINDALOO VINDALOO NA NA!!

[Mr Phlanj]

lol only if you're already drunk :P

[BulletWraith]

found the vindaloo song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T1pXsJp_go)
oh joy

[Mr Phlanj]

did u know the video is a piss take from some other song i cant remember the name of

[yeldar2097]

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3m4e45bTo)

Haha, Bangers :lol

Bangers, Beans n mash :)
eugh...can't imagine anything worse :g

[BulletWraith]

lol yeh says this in the side bar of the video
"Keith Allen's 1998 football song vindaloo which parodies The Verve video Bitter Sweet Symphony "

I kinda liked the verve, to bad they got their asses sued so bad over that song

[yeldar2097]

They did? what? eh? what?

[BulletWraith]

yeh from what I remember they used a sample from some old song and who ever the rich asshole that had got hold of the rights to the music sued them for all they had

I'm sure its on wki or somthing
night all, 3am, I'll try to get some sleep before I play borderlands at 7am haha

Got given a new lava lamp yesterday, tis blue, chuffed to bits I am :g

Blue? Letting the side down. I have a big orange one that's shaped like a rocket.

[yeldar2097]

Blue is a Dutch colour too :nod
Besides, I already have an orange one :g
...and a pink/purple one
...and a green one

[Mr Phlanj]

[ACE-FLO]

I've got buds in those colours, Yeldar! ... but you know that already, I bet! anyway, i'll bring the buds :) you bring the beer, Mr Phlanj will bring the funny fungus, sounds like a plan man! :D

[Mr Phlanj]

then we can see who can play WO the most mashed, i dont think winning will matter just see if we can finnish a race :D

[yeldar2097]

!!! You can't talk about WO in here !!!

Naughty naughty, you'll get caughty ;)
/lame HP quote :g

Sounds like a plan though :D
I have all sorts of cool lights, I have a thing about groovy ambient funny coloured lighting :dizzy.

@Ace: If you have blue and/or purple bud I'll eat my hat!
...then eat the bud :+

[ACE-FLO]

Himalay Gold finishes/cures to bluish hues, if the temp drops in the last 2 wks to harvest, oh, pink kush is well, pink.

... no eatin the buds. ;)

[Mr Phlanj]

Yeah, true... it's not! I got gastritis now! Looking forward to xmas is what's keeping me sane, (even though I don't plan on doing anything over the break) :?

Does that mean you're going back again?

[omega329]

You're doing Art? Strange how I'm not doing any mock for mine.

Yeah, it's basically a mini-Unit of work. I chose to do surrealism in the exam, as a unit that I actually did on surrealism (last year) was completely ****ed up by a trainee teacher we had (ah well, she was fit :+) who didn't understand the course. After she left I ended up analyzing 8 pieces of art in a single day in order to get my mark up to a D.
Yes, up to a D :bomb...

Anyway, for this exam I've mainly been focusing on the work of H R Giger, (swiss surrealist artist, designer of alien) which has been reall interesting to do, as most of his work is stuff like this:
http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lg3004+birthmachine-hr-giger-poster.jpg (SFW, nothing creepy)
http://giger.com/gallery/book-biomechanics-d3.jpg (SFW, might creep children out)

http://www.biwook.net/gallery/giger/Giger-art-1.jpg (lower half NSFW)


There's plenty more of his work out there, I'd post more, but a lot of it can only really be described as biomechanical-alien erotica :blarg (still very good quality though, just google image search "H R Giger" and some will pop up, even with safesearch on XD)

[Mr Phlanj]

when i presented my work done on the G master my teacher said "there is always one in every class I have had since I started teaching that will do work on him, I have become a mini expert on him with the help of my pupils, I love his art but hated the films"

did'nt talk about films to him much after that :D

EDIT: and G masters sculpturs are awsome!!!

[BulletWraith]

thanks for the inspiration omega, designing a meditation chamber and needed some inspiration for the exterior, this will do just nicely

will you be posting/linking to any of your work?


-zer:donutshen

[abukii]

Agreed. Lets see some of your work :)

[Lance]

IMO, most 'art' that I've seen is actually mock-art. What's worse, though is that so much of it is not good. And the form of art known as poetry? Agh. Most of it is prose chopped up into short lines and stacked. :o And that includes most of the poetry contest winning writings.

Uh, I'm gonna stop now instead of wasting my time on anger that won't change the quality of writing or painting at all. Dammit.

Oddly enough, photographic art seems to have a higher percentage of good stuff than other forms.

Before I forget: "good" = "I like it". And uniqueness helps a lot.

[mdhay]

Why must you get the good stuff, Adam? I actually wanted to Giger's work for ages, but have to do Cubism. >.<

[omega329]

Don't have much with me at the moment, I'll post a transcription of "Birth Machine" though...
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30801117&l=bc43dc180d&id=1046530500

Drawing isn't my strong point, but I seem to be able to analyze work really easily. I tend to just bullshit about what I see in the picture and what it has connotations of, then try and include some longer words in order to look smarter, and end up getting 12-14 out of 15 marks for them...
O_o

[mdhay]

Haha, you've revealed your Facebook. That's pretty good, though. I ain't gonna post any of my work though, it's off topic. ;) :g

[BulletWraith]

perhaps a post yo sh&% thread is in order, I'd like to see what other Zoners are constructing/imagining
thanks for the link Omega, cool to see what your doing:nod

[omega329]

Well, I'm currently sculpting the hand from this: http://giger.com/gallery/book-biomechanics-d3.jpg

6 hours in, and I've done the basic shape of arm, hand, all the fingers (no thumb yet), detailed two of them fully and have another one partially done. The main difficulty is working out what the palm and inside side of the fingers looks like, I've decided to make them quite skeletal in appearance.

I have four hours left, part of which has to consist of glazing/rubbing oxide into it after being biscuit fired.

I'm gonna run out of time... >_<

[omega329]

Sorry to double post, but I managed to finish my sculpture in time!

Oh, yeah. You getting it?

[omega329]

not likely, no console to play it on, and my PC is currently running on an Intel intergrated graphics chipset >_<

[mdhay]

Still no PS3? You're letting the side down. ;)

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Well,I too don't(won't)have a PS3,although I long for one.Then again,having my "personal" laptop is quite good.I most probably won't have one if you consider my academic grades cause I need extra good grades to get one,and,because of that,will most probably never get to race me(which is sort of good,because I myself think I suck as I am rusty).

Omega-- AWESOME work!! Very nicely done.:rock

Can anyone tell me how to get a BD rip onto my PS3?
I have several files of ~11gb which I'd like to get onto my PS3 but they are stored on my laptop. Can't put them on an external because it would need to be NTFS and not FAT32 blah blah but PS3 can't read NTFS formatted drives (grrrrrrrrr)
I've looked into streaming and that but I'm not really sure where to begin/what is best...
Any ideas? I need my 1080p :nod

Winamp Remote might do something. I'm not sure about how it's set up, but give it a thought. :)

[abukii]

Winamp Remote is tricky. First you have to download the player, open up file sharing ( not reccommended on anything Windows:P ), register the remote player, sync it and you should be all set.

I use TVersity to transfer form PC to PS3 over the wireless. You can directly stream them or just copy the file. I'm not sure about file size limits though, as I never had anything that big. I found it very easy to set up and use though.

[yeldar2097]

groovy, will take a lookskie at this tversity thing :)

...Lance should be proud of all who made it possible :g

(ok ok, I know there were times when we were off-topic, and that just by metioning the W"O word, negates my point but, ehm, whu?)

:eek

[mdhay]

100? I'm only seeing 25. :g

[ACE-FLO]

meh... this laptop displays only 10 posts per page, that probably explains it me thinks... must be in the settings but I cant be arsed to mess with it. :g I like it better that way...

... either way, it's still like, 1000 posts or thereabouts, right?
