Finally got around to moving from Sky to Virgin for phone an BB. £25 with sky for a 6mb service or £28 with Virgin for up to 30mb. Though this will probably end up being in the rant thread when they fuck up the billing an charge me twice!

It's pretty unusual. It can be pretty tense while you're wondering around the party, watching that red laser sight moving around, trying to do all of your shit. I find it easier to fool the sniper than to see through someone's disguise. I'm a hopeless sniper. But then - if you play against an experienced sniper, you will not fool him. The game seems to tap into something other than what 'normal' games need skill-wise, so that in itself is worth it, I think.

I gave it a punt purely because it's *so* different to anything else, and wanted to make sure the dev can eat/pay bills in order to finish the game. He's a 1-man band from what I can ascertain, and pretty ready to chat/seems a decent guy if you catch him in the lobby.

Purchased. Looks entertaining enough for an hour or so!

Scrobbs · 03-Aug-2012, 18:17

Give me a shout on mumble/pm when you get it going. I've only played a few games, so we'll be nearly equal.

Sometimes it's the the little pleasures...

9 pm last night, walking up Dundas st., back up to the city centre, after a refreshing couple of pints of Deuchars. Lovely night, beginnings of a nice red sunset, I'm having one of my frequent; "christ, I live in a gorgeous city" moments, feeling very chilled, then-VOOOOOOOOOM-a Typhoon flies over on reheat, buzzing the city to kick off last night's Royal Military Tattoo.

I'd seen Typhoons before, but never one with the burners lit.

Which was nice

Ashen · 10-Aug-2012, 15:28

Walk into the office this morning and get asked to replace someone on a manual Handling course, nice bit of free training to go on my CV

Saw a Lightning once taking off on full reheat at an airshow when I was a kiddie. By god that was a loud fucker. They were still in full service with the RAF at the time too.

I've been on-site, with Typhoons taking off regularly. Normally they take off and slowly increase their altitude. The one fecker, just as I was level with it, and not too far from the runway, went vertical the moment it's wheels left the runway. I could see straight up into the afterburner. Deafening ... but fantastic sight.

Scottish morning rolls, bacon , potato scone. Morning rolls are by far the best breakfast bread item going, have these infiltrated the rest of the country yet?

Hot Soup · 11-Aug-2012, 14:33

We actually shoot potato scones at the border to try and keep our healthcare costs down.

Win!

Cue a post in the Rant thread about line drops...
