Thanks for the comments guys. I have a pretty good idea of where I need to go from here. I'll be spending much more time on the next one making it a lot more interesting.

General game related reviews and sketches. I know the quality of video isn't that great just yet; hopefully will overcome the learning curve soon.
This is my spoiler-free first impressions of Bioshock Infinite.

Any feedback or ideas on how to improve are appreciated!

I saw it a while ago, it is an absolutely epic film. A bit of a slow starter, and very dark in places, but it's very well done.

(Can't say there wasn't some bad acting from certain people, but overall it was easy to look past that).

Side note:- great one to take a girl to, has Johnny Depp for her, and that girl (whose name escapes me right now) is hot as hell.

That is all.

What does any of that have to do with doing a doctors degree?

He means a doctorate in History I think.

Harvard referencing is used in England as well. It's nothing to do with the Harvard college I think, it's just the name of a referencing style.

As far as I recall, the method is (Author's Last Name, year) next to the statement requiring citation, then at the end you write a reference list, in alphabetical order, of (Name, Title of Publication, year, volume, pages).

For hyperlinks it's just (Name, Title, date, hyperlink)

Jeez, what do you guys do all day. I don't even approach 100 unless I'm under an intensive workout.
If you average 70, get some help.

No, you don't. You only need one if you watch live shows online, OR if your computer is capable of receiving a direct TV signal (which most people don't have).

You do need one if you own a TV capable of receiving a signal though (TOP TIP: hide your aerial/cables, they aren't allowed to search your draws).

You think that's bad. I have a British Passport and I STILL get delayed applications and requests for my Visa.

Why?

Because I'm dual-nationality New Zealand/British. Apparently a fucking British passport isn't enough to prove that I'm legally a British citizen.
It's like they can't comprehend I can be a citizen of both countries.

Well, then Canada should change that. Everyone around here owns the property their house is on. There are property lines that go around the lawn/side/back of your house etc., that shows the property you own; including the driveway.

So pedestrians have to walk on the road or they're trespassing?

No, I don't think you quite got it. It's a similar law in England, you own the land your house is on, up to certain defined property lines. Pavements however are publically owned, and usually fall outside of your property. You can't be considered trespassing walking on a pavement, even if it falls inside someone's private property because the pavement itself is public.

However, its about football.

Cardiff drew 2-2 with relegated Charlton last night, we lost 0-6 Saturday to Preston (sponsored by Tampax).

Our last ever game is this Saturday in our 99 year old stadium, other than a play off game which is almost guaranteed now, we need 1 point from two games.

Wow you too? I did consider using Veet, but it's way too embarassing to walk into a shop and buy it.

500kB/s? I WISH. This was one of the problems I saw, in England there's no such thing as unlimited internet plans, most of the ones that claim it have ridiculous bandwidth limits (usually 35GB or less). Also unless you're in a major city you can expect between 1mb and 8mb download speeds only - usually towards the 1mb.

I can't see this working here.

Something to consider...

Why are you spending up to 40k exactly? The job could be done MUCH cheaper. Just because you have the money doesn't mean you have to spend it, you should still try to go for the most cost effective solution, there's a reason there's a recession ya know.

I'm in the same boat as him at the moment. Easter hols, everyone from Uni is gone, i have nothing to do but sit here.

Old school friends have either spread all around the country or turned into complete jerks. There's nothing for me at all until my Uni friends all get back.

I think it's the same for everyone at Uni. These are the boring times when you have to 'eat healthily' and sleep at a reasonable hour. Pssht.

All those songs are fantastic at 2am while you're pissing away double vodkas and red bull in the club.

Of course, they could play a continuous loop of cats being tortured and it would sound like a badass dancing tune at that point.

Spot the virgin. Relationships aren't that clear cut.

Okay, paintballing is an option I guess... if my friends weren't all away visiting their families too. I guess drinking alone and watching The InBetweeners it is. Woo!

I'll try and make this as short as possible. I was seeing this girl that I found amazing, her body was just my type, she was a metalhead and we used to have a lot of fun. Playful arguments especially, it was a dream. It was one of those relationships were you constantly think about the girl, but desperately try and avoid letting on that's a case and end up just making your addiction worse. I had even stopped noticing other girls.

This is where it goes downhill, over the past few weeks I noticed her kisses were a lot less passionate, she seemed less extrovert and more reserved. Spending time became more of a chore and I got the infamous 'nothing' response when I asked if something was wrong. This is the point where I decided to end it, there's nothing worse than dragging along a dying relationship for longer than necessary.

Now this I did last night, and I instructed her to delete my number. This is my question, have any of you broken up with someone and been in the mood that chasing other girls is out the question? Normally I'd solve this problem by going clubbing with friends etc. but it's Easter break from Uni so I'm at home and seperated from friends. No chance of drinking, going out or talking about girls with a few beers and the old xbox. I guess I just needed to vent this, any suggestions with what to occupy my mind with whilst I'm stuck in this prison (a.k.a. non-term-time home)?

Breakfast
Bowl of Oatmeal with Soya Milk
Punnet of Grapes
Protein Shake

Apple

Lunch
Chicken and vegetable stir fry
Glass of Milk

4 egg omelette with cheese
Plum
Banana

Dinner
Prawns with egg-fried rice

Peanut butter sandwich
Yogurt

An orange

Weekday:

They know what causes it so why can't they induce that condition in otherwise healthy people?

I think there'd be a market for that.

Time to break all the rules. I've never taken a picture of myself and don't plan to start.



No I'm not either of the girls.



With a random girl at a flat.

Yes I look about 14 even though I'm 24. It's a genetic thing I guess. That's all the explanation for today since I'm on my way to being drunk.

Less demand = lower price.

Why would people pay more for something that isn't in demand.

Look at gold and diamonds. Actually OIL. Look at OIL

When the economy is good and more people want and can afford it (demand) the price goes up. Now the economy is crashing and everything but oil is falling through the floor. FUCKING OIL

That's only some things. Look at software, when specialist software is made for a small audience, it costs thousands.

High end PC components cost a lot to develop, if they aren't selling the prices will go up, and then eventually the developers will go out of business.

Enjoy your life of silicon celibacy.

I do Computer Science and there's no way you can say I don't get it enough.

Anyway, the thing to remember is there is a lot of Maths involved. Like, a LOT. Programming isn't too bad, it's just all the damn Maths. Oddly enough on my course there was a fair bit of History too. Some of it interesting, some a lil boring.

Also, don't tell anyone what you're studying. Seriously.

Doesn't really sound like racism to me, just coincidence.

The thing to remember is in clubs, you are in a private establishment and can expect to be kicked out for anything.

When I was dating a girl who worked in a bar, the bar staff were mainly female and they would often tell the bouncers to kick someone out on the sole reason they didn't like them. After we broke up I couldn't go in that bar anymore without being kicked out, so if one of the staff just plain don't like you you can be out.

The other thing is, he might have appeared drunk. Bouncers in this area really crack down on that, if you can't keep your balance and they see you, you're out too.

Finally, if you're hitting on girls and they're not liking it... yup you're out if the bouncers are sick of it. Don't cry racism every time you get kicked out, it's just sad.

where the fuck do you go then

As someone once told me "Go where you guys had fun hanging out before the date" yeahno.

I too am needing an answer to this in the near future.

A lil off topic but some date locations that have never failed me;

An empty park/Quiet scenic route
Just be prepared with some conversation, dialogue points. Don't stick to a script, you'll seem rigid and weird. Be sure to make it fun, "hey this is a cool leaf," *brush her nose with it*, "want it? ...Tough it's mine. Although...", *forefinger and thumb under her chin, tilt her head towards you and go for the kiss*. Swish, works every time.

A quirky restaurant
I used to like Old Orleans near where I lived because you could draw in crayons on the tablecloth. Great fun, and a good opportunity to flirt through pictures. (If you don't know how to flirt, learn).

Your house, with a movie
This one's a little harder to pull off, she'll know exactly what you're after. Worth a shot though, make her dinner (learn to cook nub) and break open some cheap champagne/sparkling wine and half the work is done for you. Again, conversation conversation conversation.

I agree that eating alone isn't great. You often get looked over by the staff who are after the bigger tables where the higher potential tips lie.

Nothing wrong with going to the cinema alone if it's a film you really wanna see. If I take a girl I don't end up watching the film and if I'm with friends we usually chat quietly so it doesn't give much room for experiencing a movie you might otherwise really like.

I can attest to that. I went blind at 17 and killed myself by 19 out of the shame.
You can never stop D:

Why is everyone talking about redheads?

Redheads =\= Gingers

For one, red haired girls are hot... and well... ginger (usually) are not.

Case in point, one of my exes died her hair dark red/black at one point and it was smoking, a few months ago I did the same to my hair just to see what would happen. I liked it.

However pale red a.k.a. ginger just is never attractive to me, especially with freckles and stuff. Urgh.

I don't think I've ever tipped a pizza delivery person. I don't take the change if I handed over £20 and it was £19.99 - but I don't tip.

Wow that's dick. Delivery people basically live off tips.

Nah, it's in the UK. Delivery people are actually paid fairly here.

Lol. I did consider stealing it but I also wanted to be paid =\

And it's the University of East Anglia.

Seriously.

Recently I've been down on luck since my fiance left me a while ago (no I didn't post anything here about it). So in a drunken fit of enraged courage I signed up to show people around on campus. £8 an hour, free food - what could go wrong? At any rate I did it mainly for the free food

On the day I discovered the most awesome fact no one ever bothered to tell me: Those bright orange helper t-shirts pull more tail than a 10-inch dick

I was amazed, I pulled more then I ever did at any club that day and with little effort. It's like the bright orange contains some kind of pheromone or something.

Unfortunately after my shift I had to give it back, but I've signed up for next time and I'm gonna steal that damn shirt

....Dude. Best thing I've read all day.

Well I went in the end, and I can tell you all I had a great time, definitely recommend it in fact.

I arrived a bit early because I was already half pissed by 10.30 and didn't want to waste the faux confidence, was in the door at 11. Dance floor was maybe half full so I hit the bar first; straight away was approached by a couple of guys talking about arriving early and how we've all made that mistake. Get to chatting, they point out the single girls in the room and a couple of drinks later I'm away.

Panic set in half way through the night when I realise I lost my cloakroom ticket, ended up crawling on my fucking knees looking for the damn thing around the bar. Never found it, but went to the cloakroom early and explained it to the bird there, she was sympathetic - and remembered me so told me not to worry. As a bonus I got her number

So yeah, it's a different ball game but definitely one hell of a time.

Quick question about my running. I am running 4 laps (1600m or 1.6km) 5 times a week and I am a begining runner. I dont feel like I am getting any better. Like I can barely do 4 laps and I have been doing this for 3 weeks. So should I step it up or keep running my 4 laps?

Personally I think 5 times a week is overkill for a beginner, you'll find it difficult to improve if you burn yourself out.
I'd say drop to 3 times a week, and try and run a bit further; you don't have to improve by a full lap at once, just try and run a quarter of a lap further next time and do that twice. Then the following time add a quarter to that etc.

It will be a slow improvement and you won't notice, but after a few months if you compare yourself to when you started you'll realise you're a lot fitter.
