:ph34r: You just bumped the thread, this is old.... :ph34r:
AFAIK, this thread being both Pinned and Official, posting in it is not classed as Bumping. Either way, the report feature is there for these things.
Currently listening to lots snd lots of Pink Floyd, and a fair bit of AC/DC from the Bon Scott era :ph34r:

OK so I chop and change a lot in my reading urges, but I'm now reading "Adolf Hitler, My Part in his Downfall" by Spike Milligan. I don't know how well-known he is (or was) outside the UK, but he is (was) one VERY funny bloke. To give you an idea, the Monty Python crew were enormously influenced by him.
This is the first of 3 volumes written by Milligan about his real-life experiences (heavily spattered with humoUr) during the 2nd World War. Light reading with some hefty laughs :D

All I can think of to say ATM is that I'm just so glad that everything is back in action (with a few improvements and apparently no loss of posts, settings etc!!!) On first perusal, the site looks sleeker and more space-age than GS. I will undoubtedly post again once I have seen more of Nexus, but for now *Huge Congrats* Dark0ne, good work! You've made my day :)

(Don't think this counts as double-posting, does it? :unsure: )
I've now finished "The Children of Húrin" after a brief rest from Tolkien. Now I'm back in full religious mode reading "The Book of Lost Tales II" soaking up more related lore :)
-
At this very moment, "Escape Velocity" by Zetan Spore. Spacey didgeridoos FTW :D
-
Just finished "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner" by James Hogg. Written in 1824, it is said to be the precursor of the psychlogical thriller, and in my opinion is worthy of a screen adaptation. Good stuff.

ooc> Hi all. Sorry I haven't been around for ages. Malchik, my sincrerest condolences. I'm glad it was peaceful. As much as I'd like to continue, I just don't have the time with my new job. If you like you can use my char if need be, and I'll pop in and see how you're getting on now and again, and maybe post something if that's OK. Cheers :)

...complaning about the lack of sweet-based weapons in the universe.
As this is exactly what Oblastit was working on, he...
...instantly commissioned a set of Liquorice Knuckle-dusters, a box of Fizzy Cola Truncheons, a Giant Orcish Chupa-Chups Battlemace and a bag of Pump-Action Jelly-Babies. He wasn't quite sure how this last item worked, but....

If you think that one is bad, try playing ICO (the prequel, kinda). That one's gameplay QA department consisted of a gimp and a mental patient. Atmospheric it may be, fun it is not.
I beg to differ, good sir! I had plenty of fun playing ICO (albeit short-lived) and hence part of my disappointment when I discovered that SOTC was such pants. o_O

Star Wars: Republic Commando
Just bought that brand new for 10 €uros, but me darned Xbox is up the swanny. Gutted! Looks a lot of fun :(
-
Currently not playing very much at all, but I have recently been back on the consoles for a while, while my PC has been "otherwise engaged."
1) Zelda: Twilight Princess - Finished. Very good, but not quite up to OOT's standard
2) Shadow of the Colossus - Too crap to be bothered with. Quit after 4 Colossi
3) Driver: Parallel Lines - Quite a laugh, but not a patch on GTA
-
Me too. Just arrived yesterday. It's mine! My own! My ppprrr.....I am currently reading The Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien. -
...she was busy potting pot plants. Not pot pot, but pot as in pot -- plant pot. Potty Harrer had gotta lotta pot plants, and Farrer Hotty had to pot the lot. But Potty was hot to trot, and fired up the Wifey-Fi.
"Oh, Blast it!" yelled Oblastit. "What is it now!?!" He was just in the middle of conjuring up a Mulberry Daikatana when his Sticky Cellophone rang. It was Potty....

(ooc> I totally agree with Pov. This is a neverending story, which means that it must have a certain amount of cohesion (continuing the story), not introducing new and irrelevant characters and storylines every post, and blowing them away with uber-nukes the next. It's all a bit of fun, and I don't want to be a party-pooper (it's hard to impose rules for something so free-form), but in order for this to be fun (for everyone) and neverending, there has to be some decorum and respect for what the thread is intended to be. Gabbe_master would turn in his Whoopsala if he could see what it's becoming.OOC: This isn't my thread or anything, but I don't like the way this thread is going. Could you guys please try to maintain a story instead of completely changing the subject at every new post?Perhaps someone could start a Neverending Nukefest and all interested could post there. In the meantime, I strongly feel that this thread should get back to doing what it says on the tin, because at the moment it is in danger of being obliterated by the Giant Killer Spamdonkeys from Hell. :ohmy: )
ic> ...Meanwhile, back at the ranch, somewhere to the left of Betelgeuse, Potty Harrer scratched his Hairy Botty. His wife, Farrer Hotty, brought him a cup of Hot-Tea, and they sat down to ponder the solution to global contamination - in particular that caused by the recent spate of Uber_nukings, character assasinations (geddit?) and unexpected distorsions in the space-time continuum. Grasping his left handed screwdriver, he went to the toolbox for a long weight..........

Coco Channel, or Channel Nº. 5 as it was commonly known. Interesting as it was, the programmes were mostly small, black and didn't cover very much in particular. But they were tres chic, and most people couldn't afford to watch them. The man...

(ooc> possible party-pooper: Steady on, chaps! This is a neverending story, not an rpg :) )

Kalmer nods slowly, somewhat bewildered at Kyto's powers of logic and deduction. "If Kyto thinks that is the correct answer, that is good enough for me. Any Further ideas, anyone?"
-
(ooc> afk these are like escrima sticks and therefore it wouldn't be that hard if you could find an animate skeleton to practise on. If I am wrong, and they resemble jo sticks, then Kalmer will have to rethink his strategy :huh: )
Kalmer springs to his feet and turns to face the skeleton in a defensive stance. As the skeleton's left stick jabs at his stomach, he brings his own right down onto the skeleton's elbow joint, while simultaneously guarding with his left against the skeleton's right.

"Hey baby qué pasó....." With a nonchalant flick of his wrist, Xardes the Necromancer switched off his 56-inch flatscreen Orb of the Overworld. He could not stand to hear that theme tune once more this week. And besides, he'd seen that episode 35 times even before it had even been made, and now the re-runs were just too much. Humming " 'cos the eyes of the 'mancer are upon you..." he sniggered evilly and set about......

Kalmer throws himself to the ground and, rolling backwards between the skeleton's legs, thrusts his staves upwards through the gaps between its ribs. Standing up swiftly behind it, he wrenches the staves in opposite directions, so as to split and shatter his opponent's ribcage...
(ooc> hi guys, I'm back. Thanks for not killing Kalmer... yet :unsure: )

...huffed and puffed and blew his house in. The Wolfe-Brothers - Gene, Virginia and, um, Marcus - danced a merry shanty and....

(ooc> Kalmer's intention is thus: )
ic> Kalmer blocks the attack to his head with his left hand, at the same time jumping to avoid the attack to his ankles and bringing his right-hand stave down to shatter the left shoulder blade of the skeletal warrior. Kalmer has some experience of similar weapons, and they are ideal for breaking bones at key points of the body. Hopefully, the skeleton's lack of flesh will be to Kalmer's advantage in this kind of attack...
ooc> on holiday for 2 weeks, and afk for at least the first. If Kalmer dies, please bury him in a K-shaped box in a secluded part of Ippikander beach ;) Otherwise, sensible use of him is allowed :)
-
Kalmer calmly glances towards the pair of light sticks, and with a nod indicates that these are his weapons of choice...
-
"I'll have a staff then, please." Says Kalmer politely.
