I got a couple
1) When I was level 25 or so I got a team with some level 50's from my SG. We were in Grandville doing some Rikti missions. Not every had arrived at the mission door so I casually say "I'm just going to wait inside." As soon as I entered the mission I was great by a bunch of Rikti monkeys and I ran out screaming "EVIL ALIEN MONKEYS!" on the team channel. After the traumatic event I wandered over to some Spiderlings I saw scuttling around thinking they were part of the scenery only to have them blast me apart because my mentor was too far away.
2) When I first got Hover. My SG mate/leader was hovering above Fort Darwin in Mercy Island doing some recruiting. I decided to join him up there but thought that you couldn't move up with Hover for whatever reason so I spent a painful five minutes flying into a wall slowly moving up it lol. -
It's sad to see you go, Mumsie, as Sharkbait said you were one of the real legends and that is true. (Even though I never really saw you in game that much, I saw you around the forums a good bit)
Sad to see another person leave but a break is a good thing.
Farewell, and may the little ones get on fine in your absence. -

There's a place in my local market that sells Mountain Dew so I'm not too fussed about that
They sell Mug's root beer too which is taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasty. But I want to try A&W nao! -

This is the danger of mothering governments. See Australia's actions on video games and the internet for example. These out of touch people get the wrong ideas and decide to ban something for the majority, when only a minority ever cause a few problems.
Here's a thought, Germany/Australia/Everywhere Else:
100 people play BLOODGUN: GUNS AND BLOOD with its bump-mapped gore splatter and 7.1 surround sound bullet engine.
Two people who played BLOODGUN: GUNS AND BLOOD at a later point go on to go postal.
Obviously it's not things like mental or emotional problems or drugs or social causes or anything. No, it has to be the VIOLENT GAME OF VIOLENCE AND BLOOD AND GUNS.
Know what kills more people than video-game related violence? Cars. Smoking. Alcohol. You don't see any governments banning these things though. Driving a several ton vehicle that can go over one hundred miles an hour is fine, but playing a game that has elements of violence in? That's terrible and sick and wrong and no good could ever come from that. Drinking causes more violence than computer gaming.
Video games don't make me violent. Stupid, knee-jerk governemtn decisions and censorship make me think violent thoughts.
It's a bit ridiculous if you think about. For OUTRAGEOUSLY violent games (I.E: Manhunt which was banned in several countries and the sequel was banned here before the release IIRC). With games like that it is understandable why governments do this.. Sort of. Censorship is a good and bad thing, while it stops certain people being exposed to things they shouldn't be exposed to for whatever reason it can also be abused and stop people being exposed to things that are perfectly fine.
As Zortel said, playing video games doesn't really make me want to re-enact things I saw in the game, yet for whatever reason people without exposure to these games will coincidentaly perform actions they saw in the game.
I don't really care what statistics say, tbh, they can be fairly easily manipulated.
If this does happen then I hope there is only a temporary downtime in which a new country can be chosen to host the servers or something to that effect.
But do the German government really have the right to force this inconvenience upon a foreign company? -

Orbital stations of doomity doom against an infinite arsenal of lethal smileys... I have to see that.
Oh, and Australia is a good call. It is handy enough to be dropped precisely and at the same time heavy enough to do some damage and filled with all kinds of poisonous and venomous things to boot.
*Takes out a notepad* Place your bets! -
Quote:Agreed with the root bear! It's simply AMAZING!Originally Posted by Vox_Doom
ONE OF YOU AMERICAN TYPES NEEDS TO SEND ME ALL OF YOUR ROOT BEER NOW PLEASE!
I love root beer. I really need to try A&W root beer.
I think I'm going to make a meat and potato pie this weekend.
Oh yeah, Americans, you call savoury pies 'pot pies' right? Sweet pies are just pies? We just call the whole lot pies.
And you haven't lived until you've tasted a proper Cornish pasty.
Edit: Apparently the pot pie is actually a variation of a pasty, awesome.
Root Beer noa pl0x? -
You are all forgetting the giant ski hill that we can slide down on the penguins!.. And ski down..
We also need a bouncy castle that's full of neon lights, y'know, just to make things interesting.

A collection of various classic tv shows and films for the sound-proofed, non-footie room. I.E: Monty Python, Laurel and Hardy, Only Fools and Horses, Carry On. I think you know what I'm getting at ^-^

I like it! Have them scaled to a Monster level like the Hatched Krakens on Abandoned Sewer Trial and it sounds like this is good to go.
I really like the idea of having subtle clues and hints that the monster is around instead of telling you that it's definitely there. -

Quote:Ahh, sounds like a good ol' Irish fry (R.O.I). Except without the Taty Farl, cremated rashers and the chips dripping in cooking fat, we like ours dry and crispOriginally Posted by Maelwys_EU
You order a slice of bread instead of beer?
And the lot of you can forget your Marmite, Mushy Peas and Black Pudding.
A good Ulster Fry is the breakfast of kings!
For the uninitiated, an Ulster fry is a traditional Northern Irish Breakfast consisting of anything from 6 to 36 pieces of the following fried foodstuffs: Bacon (Cremated), Eggs (Fried, yoke slightly runny. No complaining!), Taty Farl (Potato Bread), Soda Farl (Soda Bread), Pork Sausages (Batter optional), Baked Beans (Optional), Mushrooms (Optional), Tomato (Optional), Red or Brown sauce (Optional but you'll get funny looks if you don't take them) and Heart Attack (Almost Guaranteed, being the main sign of a good healthy Ulster diet. Dry yer eyes!!). Often served with a portion of thick-cut chunky chips (this is known simply as "a chip" and comes well-fried with salt and vinegar). Preferably these chips will be mainly yellow, but going slightly brown and manky 'round the edges... although it's often a point of pride to eat them even if they are still dripping with cooking fat.

Quote:NO! NononononoNO! What's with you Brits and mushy peas D:Originally Posted by FloatingFatMan
Those aren't true mushy peas! Those are processed marrowfat peas that have been squished.
TRUE mushy peas are dried peas that have been soaked in a bicarbonate of soda solution for 24 hours, then boiled until they reach a pale green mush, then served with a nice roast dinner, with gravy. Delicious!
They're icky >.< -

I'm worried... Oh, wait...
And back on topic; I agree with Croesis, the rep system was a bad idea, especially with two cultures and two different senses of humor that comes with that. -
Someone explain why there haven't been any bad puns on the new forums? :O
It's hardly broken in without some form of bad pun ^^ -

We have so many differences in the scant miles comprising our isles, not to mention the rest of the EU, so what hope do we ever have of communicating with the myriad souls on the other side of the Atlantic (heck, Pacific in some cases).
