With stuff I ment the things I said before.
Lot of people here are pissed cause they have to work their asses off, and get hardly anything. Then their immigrant neighbors get their house/car etc. for free and hear them even moan "hmmm I don't like this car really".
That type of things increases radicalization more.
Peace out
There's not much for me to say about the fourth point, other than what I previously wrote about poor white people living in inner cities being disgruntled.
If you look at my avatar, I've put up a picture of the leader of the Conservative party - David Cameron. There are local council elections on the 4th May and I will be voting Conservatives because they offer the best policies for my area: lower taxes, more police and keeping selective schools, for example.
yay conservatives rock, labour is going down after "black wednesday" they stand to loose 2/3 of all their current city counsils (sorry cant spell).Quote:

The first post stated I must post where in Europe I live and I live in Horten, Norway.
Norway is king and rules.
But I don't have a picture of a Panda playing chess with a traffic light but if you insist I guess I can play chess with a Polar bear and get the doctor to take a picture of me at the hospital when it is done with me ;!
Let me in please, or I'll weep!!!!
;D
No, not really. Norway's taxes are far too high - cut those high marginal rates of tax and cut government expenditure!Quote:

You are joking, right? Black Wednesday was when the Pound Sterling was forced out of the ERM because it was pegged at an unrealistic rate against the DM. This occured back when the Conservatives were in power and damaged their credibility in managing the economy well. I'm a strong supporter of floating exchange rates and the freedom to use monetary policy to control inflation.Quote:

I don't live in Norway, but maybe I've just interpreted what you wrote incorrectly.Quote:

HAHA everyone plays online here ;) must be because off our long and cold winter. LoL
I mostly play online on my PS2 though, since my CPU is at 1Ghz but I'm gonna upgrade it soon. Only reason I haven't is that I need to find out if I need a new mainboard.
Anyway I play racing games alot and a bit SOCOM 2 (waiting for SOCOM3).
I am getting AoE2 or 3, not sure yet for my PC and I'm gonna play that online, also I want to get my Baldurs Gate 2 working like it's supposed to...
I couldn't do a full install so I went to BioWares homepage to see why, and it was a common problem it seemed so they had a sloution and that was to do a minimum install and then fiddle around with this file AAAAND copy some stuff over manually, it was a pain but I got it working until...I was to start on SoA disc 4...... Now I mostly play ToB because of that.
The game I really really REALLY wanna play online is World of Warcraft some of my friends have it and they are so busy playing they won't even let me try for 5 minutes;!
As for...
HAHA I guess you did, our taxes suck. But it's great to live here even if we live in the most expencive country i the world, and BTW I usually go to Sweden and buy stuff there:DQuote:

Playing online with your console is for women and children.Quote:

I hadn't played a LAN game of UT at my school for such a long time I thought I'd be terrible, but hey, my instagib aim was still pretty good even though it's been a while since I quit UT2k4: must've been over a year ago, almost a year and a half. However, I did play UT once every month or so online for 3 hours each time so maybe that's what kept my aim close to my usual standard. I got 17,000+ kills with the instagib rifle on UT2k4 and 12,000+ deaths and this was during a period of three or four months. That works out to just over 58% efficiency. I would've gotten more had I not played so many normal weapon games, but 1v1 normal weapons is an ability worth improving.Quote:

Naaaw I have gotten a little weary of FPS games like that, there are more realistic shooters to play nowQuote:
So what if you can't play World of Warcraft? Play fast paced FPS!
Also I want my BGII to work properly DAMMIT!!! I never had so many problems with a game before, if it wasn't so great I would never bother to get it "working" that annoys the hell out of me.....
You don't play any strategy games like RTS or anything?
There are plenty of old games that can run on a 1GHz CPU - I'm assuming the other hardware you have is on par with the CPU.Quote:

I really don't play at a high enough level to care, although if you know the game well enough you could probably consistently abuse the hitbox latency.Quote:

I've played a decent number of RTS games in my time: my first being C&C and Red Alert. I remember some great games. I played RA2 online quite a bit and after my exams I think I will practice Starcraft religiously. I'm considering 6 - 10 hours a day. It's a fairly old game but there's so much depth to it, being good at SC would be a nice achievement. There's a Starcraft Club at TFF too, although it's pretty inactive at the moment. If you haven't played the game I thoroughly recommend it.
EDIT: This is my 300th post, which obviously is a milestone, whereas my 299th post is insignificant compared to the 300th. Such milestones can certainly be logically justified.
First of all...... Let me say..... WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED STARCRAFT? :D
Ofcourse I have that game, it PWNS but I need more practice before playing online, my first RTS was the very first Warcraft game and I have been addicted to RTS ever since, I have played every game in the C&C series be it PC or PSX and my favorite amongst them are Generals playing with the Chinese :)
It's mostly the CPU thats shit.....Quote:

Oh and CS is ofcourse on my wishlist though its not as high as Everquest 2 wich I doubt my CPU can handle, but if you say I can run it I'm gonna check out the requirements on it.
As for my BGII, BioWare have problems with that game running on ATI graphic cards, I as I said have ATI so it crashes once in a while when I examine items.
Also I couldn't do a full install, that is also a known problem by the company, so I got some useful help while reading FAQ's on their site.
Now there is a full install, but the game asks for disc 4 and strangely enough it wont work when I insert it, so you start to know about some of my problems with the game. It's not my hardware thats the problem it runs great in the highest resolution and everything, its just those "incidents" if I may call it that.
I played BGII ToB now for two three hours and there wasn't any problems, but sometimes it's horrible. Computers hate me :shake:
Oh and congrats for your 300th post ^_^
Firstly, I recommend signing up to the TFF Starcraft Club, it's been a bit inactive and the thread is on the second page of this forum. Despite the fact I'm not playing online at the moment, Relm is - you could practice with her, especially since no-one else in the club seems to be playing either. Then once my exams are over we could have some fun games online.Quote:

I've had CS running on my 233MHz P2 with 512MB SDRAM and 4MB graphics card. I'll admit: the frame rate was incredibly poor and it took 4 minutes to load the security module when joining a server, but it worked. So I should think with the specs you have CS 1.6 should be fine.Quote:

Oh and if I may suggest, play Generals. Borrow it or something because it's lots of fun.
Generals and Tiberian Sun are the two C&C games I have played the least and both of them I have litteraly occupied my friends computers to play.
When I played Generals on my mates computer he just said "take care of my dog, I'm going outside" and when he came back like at 1am I was ofcourse still playing so he just went to bed. :D
But the game is badass I recomend you play it a bit more if you are into C&C maybe you don't like it as much as I do but it's a C&C and you have to play for a while, you know.
OH and I have done something with my computer, I have no idea what, but sometimes I have to reboot because it goes offline and refuses to go back on.
It would be a pain to play for 3 hours and suddenly I loose connection.
I just got this problem a couple of weeks ago and I have found nothing that is helpful, I am certain that it was something I did.....
Haha, that's certainly not true. Everyone in there is a noob. I mean seriously noob. My skills are terrible, especially ZvZ and I can barely handle ZvT past the 10 minute mark. As you can guess, I'm a Zerg player. Really, no-one would laugh at your skills because everyone's at a low standard, although I would say Relm is the best. Apparently, Raine's skill went up after playing quite a bit with some friend of his - I heard this from Lethal Seraphim but I haven't seen for myself. I want to challenge Raine to a best of 5 1v1 for 10,000 TFF Gold sometime in July. Haha.Quote:

:eek:
I haven't been here in ages, Anyone know who I am?
You should, I am that darn cool like :cool:
I remember you from your avatar!
And... hey! Youre from Newcastle Upon Tyne! I'm thinking of going to uni there next september!
Anyway... yeah... I remember you... I think...
Yeah valentine, my last post before leaving was to tell you you couldn't join the Europe club :P
Which uni are you thinking of going to? I reccomend Northumbria, 'cause I'm going to go there, and I'm sweet as **** like.
YAY!! Thanks, it's strange I didn't see it....Quote:

Then don't go to university. After all, it isn't for everyone. Is there much point in going to a shitty university and graduating with an easy degree only to get a job earning marginally more than what you would otherwise be earning after 3 years of work experience in that particular sector?Quote:

What I mean is im getting C grades at the most in my subjects, so I wont be able to go to a high level university, but I am interested in art courses. I was originally wanting to do zoology but you need to be at at least 3-B grades at A level to go into it. Art has always been something ive been interested in, and I want to persue a career i'll enjoy. I am NOT working in the family butcher shop *shudder*Quote:
