The Offtopic, Offtopic Thread

Post by alowe »

don't know why i didn't create this before. this thread is for everyone who wants to post offtopic. in this thread it's allowed. you don't have to worry about someone telling you it's wrong, bad, against the rules whatever. you can post whatever you like here (within the other rules of course).

so have fun. post what you like. i'm sure someone's got something to say....

first of all, has anyone seen the film Silent Hill, and if so did you like it?

I thought this entire sub-forum was for off-topic things?

Somewhat. When there are a few posts of all off-topic conversation in a row, it's probably time to stop, or make a new thread :P
this thread you are free to be as off topic as you like since that is the topic.

Very well. Since haven't seen Silent Hill it's my turn to say something off-topic. Hmm. While I was waiting for my Xbox 360 replacement to arrive I decided to check out RuneScape. The very thoguht of it made me shudder since RuneScape is such a boring game and they got rid of pking, but it's always changing so I took a look. I was suprised by the new okay almost-halo1-like graphics, but it lags like hell. So I played it for a little bit and found out they made new PvP worlds where you can kill anyone anywhere except in certain "safe-areas". I have'nt played RuneScape in about 4 or 5 years. When they got rid of pking I was just like, "Ok, Jagex, thanks for taking out the best part of your game, bye." But in these pk worlds you have a skull & cross-bones over your head 24/7 (If you die you lose ALL your stuff instead of keeping 3 things) The resting thing is an improvement. So I finally got my Xbox today so there's no reason for me to even think of playing this game again.

Yeah, I checked out RuneScape not too long ago. The new interface is cool, and the graphics are kind of good (there's actually shadows now :o ) but I'm still not interested.

Isn't this topic basically spam and the posts within have been compensated in topics and not needless posts?

Let's not use the word "spam". How about "Pointless dribble". Has a nice ring to it.

I have been sick lately. Today I spent the longest time in the bathroom I could have ever thought about. I was in for around an hour and a half, I then went to my dads, and spent about 45 minutes in the bathroom here. I feel terrible :cry:

I'm having trouble what song I should use for my GTA IV Suicide Car Bombing Montage that I'm currently working on, so I've decided to ask UESP. Should I use Wolt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen Sehen? or Mein Teil? Or if you have any other suggestions, that's good, too.

If I was to choose between them, I'd say Mein Teil. But what about Feuer Frei? Or is that too much of a cliche? ;)

I just don't get it, but minus as well join the apparent forming bandwagon.

that happened to me too so i cancelled my direct debit. when they phoned to reinstate it i said no thanks. then they said i had to because it was in my contract so i said i can't afford to honour the contract. then they started asking if i owned my home and how they could make me lose it and i answered that i didn't own my home. still, they phoned me twice a day (every day, including sundays) for 8 months. eventually i moved address and changed my phone number and they haven't bugged me since 8) and all because i was just £30 behind my payments. seemed a bit insanely extream to me.

I'm going on a short holiday from Friday to Monday, and I'm really excited about it since I only found out about it last week, while I usually plan holidays out for months ahead.

Also, I realised just what a friendly forum this is, after looking on some others :shock:

You should have written them a letter, saying that all correspondence should be conducted via post, signed it, and sent it via signed for post, so that technically, they'd be breaking the law if they phoned you again :P

These forums are the perfect example of prim, proper and polite compared to every other forum I'm on. The worst one's the DarkSwords forum, 90% of the users are trolls who post useless things like 'But why?' in every single suggestion thread, and then eat the mod's heads off when their posts are edited. They don't even delete, just edit out the message.


Anyway... found out today you can listen to any Muse song here, just need to register. (It's the official site, so I've been registered for ages already)
Used to spend ages looking for all their B-Sides on YouTube, this is way easier. :P
