  1. I'd define it by what you feel you truely are.

    And your passport of course. I've got 2. One saying that I'm Dutch, the other that I'm English. I'm born in England so I see myself as one of English nationality (legally I am too), yet I don't have any English blood.

    My dad is Dutch and I'm living in Holland, but never have I actually felt Dutch so I'll never say I am either, though I do have Dutch blood.

  2. Blu-Ray, it can hold 10x then what HD can.

    Uhm.. actually it can just hold something like 1.25 times more then HD-DVD can.

    Except for the people who have a ps3 I know nobody who own a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player and though I own a 1080p TV but have never actually had HD content to see.

    There are barely any movies one can buy here in High Definition. Most people, including me, want to wait with buying any HD player until there is a decent selection of movies and the prices have dropped.

  3. Post you thoughts on what's the best system.

    System.. make that format.

    So then it's totally irrelevant of the best console, cause we are discussing the best format.

    What he meant is that fan boys might just support a format cause their console supports it so then you'll get a console argument. But in essence this is just about a format, not console. Though posting this in the warzone actually invites fan boys..

    Uh, well you probably get what I mean.

  4. Technically Blu-Ray is superior, but in this fase of it's life it's to expensive compared to HD-DVD.

    Blu-Ray will probably win on the long term. But if I'd buy a player now (not counting a ps3) I'd probably get a HD-DVD player. Though if the PS3 gets some decent game library I might get a ps3. I mean, 400 EUR is very cheap for a Blu-Ray player.

    On the other hand, I'm in no need of any actually.. I never buy any DVD video's, only games and then I only need a drive for my computer, not a full player..

    Edit:

    Uhm, what does this have to do with the console war? Just cause Sony and MS support other formats doesn't mean it's the same thing.

  5. My Chrismas present..

    My mom had promised me to get give me Super Smash Bros Brawl in Februari as late Chrismas present, but now she's both clothes.. :( Or at least I think she both clothes. Could also be some cushion. Either way I don't really like it..

    But hey, worse things can happen. I shouldn't complain.

  6. Welcome Jamie, enjoy the forums ;)

    And I'm back after 2 months of hating my boring life. Well nah. Just didn't have any interest for GTA anymore, but the third trailer forced me to come back. IGN doesn't cover GTA that much, so I came back to the good ol' GTA place.

    And I've just been busy with other things.. Past 2 months have been awesome.

  7. Personally, I don't really like the looks of iMacs. But that just my opinion. What with iMac's is that you never can fit any powerful Graphic-Card into them, so even if it had DX10/9 support, you just can get a good card into it (8800 GT/GTX/Ultra). And other then that, they're overpriced. They've got good CPU's though. Intel is doing great lately and switching from AMD has been a great step from apple.

    If you like the looks, don't mind (or like) Mac OS and aren't planing to use it for gaming and don't think you're going to be using those app's that only work on Windows, have had it with MS and don't mind paying a bit more for for having the apple logo and the 'Mac look' then you could consider getting a iMac.

    Though in my opinion XP is better then Mac OS.. but then, that's an opinion.

  8. I got Galaxy one day before it's official release. I asked some guy of the shop if they have Galaxy yet and pretended that I didn't know that it wasn't actually released yet. So he said that he'll look and within a minute he came back with Galaxy in his hand. I even got it with 30% off, no idea why though. It takes some getting used to, but after you've got the first 3 stars the game really is awesome. I love it. The story is nothing interesting (like almost every Mario), but the gameplay is great.

  9. I'd be happy with 350 000 EUR a year. It'll be enough for my needs. TBH I'd actually hate earning those abnormal somes of money like 40 million a year. I'd probably give most to charity then.

    Also football people.. What the hell have they done to deserve so much money. The world isn't going to be a better place or anything just cause they can kick a ball. And people like Paris Hilton. Those are the rich people who are highly annoying. The ones who don't a damn for it.

    People in Africa deserve the money much more then Paris Hilton does.

    Edit: Also note that 52% of the 350 000 EUR would have to go to tax in Holland.

  10. But those rich assholes who act all MAFIA piss me the fuck off, they are rich spoiled brats, not poor people with problems.

    1- You didn't answer.

    2- As for as I know rich people never act 'mafia'.

    3- Yeah, rich people can have problems too. Just cause they're rich doesn't mean their personal life is going smooth.

  11. Lol, actually sounds pretty fun.

    Usually all the spoilt brats do fall out later. Like this kid who said he was very intelligent. Guess what? Yeah, he failed and has to do the year over. His parents are too protective and thinks everything will happen without him doing anything. Other then that, he's 14 and behaves like a 8 year old.

    I hate some rich people, who act poor, not to be modest but to hide that they are just rich spoiled brats.

    That makes no sense at all. "Oh shit, what if people realise that I'm a wealty rich person. Damn it, no. I'll act like some poor dude". Yeah, that makes no sense. Again, it doesn't fall into their laps and being modest is the best thing to do. I don't think people would be impressed if I'd run around school yelling "I've got a Mercedes!". Nobody. Cares.

    For our vacation we went to some 5+ star hotel. Again, you don't tell that to everyone and don't downgrade people who go with the car to France (about 600 km drive). People will hate you. Being modest is the best thing to do.

    Just because my dad is succesfull doesn't mean I'd be some spoilt brat. As if I'll just get anything I want. No. If I want something he'll tell me to buy it myself. Work for it. That's why I deliver papers as a little job.

  12. So chat language is suppossed to be forumulated on such a way that nobody can read it?

    Really, I can't. Things like 'w8' 'me 2' '2day' 'bcz' is only when you SMS. It's kinda stupid for forums where you have enough time to come up with something and you don't need to pay for the message.

  13. Quite some chance I'm going to get their Mercedes. I'll buy it from my parents. It's a win-win situation. I'll pay them more then Mercedes would give them, and less then it would cost if I bought it from the Mercedes dealer (second hand).

    In quite a lot of things I'm privalaged because of my dad's succes. I don't get all that much now cause then later (when he's gone) I'll have more and would use it for more important things then stuff like games. I'll probably do the same for my son/daughter (would prefer son though. I think a girl would spend it on useless stuff like clothes).

    I do have to work for it though. He uses it as a motivation. Like if you achive some specific goal you'll get something. My dad said that if I go to Gymnasium (highest middle-school education here + Latin and Greek (the school before uni)) he'd take me to Cedar Point, that's all the way in Cleveland, USA (and I live in Holland).

    Also, my dads mom didn't even finish primary school and his dad was a sailor and carpenter. Not exactly the highest in society. He's done it all on his own and I quete respect that.
