Today sort of sucked. College in all really does suck the life out of you, especially when you have a really boring lecturer/tutor. Well nothing is really cracking down at the moment, hopefully in Easter something should.

Well I did a GCSE in Art, so you could call me something towards an Artist. I can draw, not that great at water paints anymore, pretty good at Oil Pastels and a bit of Artist Colouring Pencils. I'm not truly interested in Fine Art anymore, I have some interest in Digital Art, and at some point graphics comes into it. So atm, even though I'm doing a strong ICT based subject, I also try to do some drawings whenever I can. And that's some yummy food there Chesnut.

Awesome. That's fucking awesome. Rem will love this.

It's useful enough, but not Pin worthy. For something of that type, it does seem okay to post, you'd expect a few people to post in it, or probably more, but I believe pinning that wouldn't be worth it. If it's been posted in for a long while, then it could be pin worthy. For now, there's no point in it, and would be useless to pin. I suggest leaving it for the time, you'd expect it only to be pinned if it's got something good about it.

You need to play MGS3 to understand the point in Big Boss, and how he got the title "Big Boss". Not only that, but you hear his name in both MGS1 and MGS2, which tells you alot about him. If you played the SNES and NES version of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, you'd understand the whole game fully, but not only that, you'd learn about Solid Snake and Big Boss's relationship. It's worth buying MGS3, funny as hell if you unlocked the Secret Theatre Mode if you had the Subsistence version of it. I still have to get MGS4 when I get my PS3, so yeah, definitely a must buy, especially if you played all 3 of series.

What if someone doesn't want to?

Got Far Cry 2 in the post. Installing it now.

Well, I guess you could say that would do something, but erm, won't that mean that your PM area will get flooded with PMs as well? I think leave it as it is, because really, even though there's been alot of birthday topics recently, it just makes the Lounge more based on those types of topics. But then again, PM is still a nice idea, I just prefer seeing a topic, cause sometimes I just don't feel like scrolling down to see who's birthday it is. But you do have a point though, I think PM does mean you do care, plus if someone does care, at least you know that they're legitimate about caring for your birthday. But then again, some people have stuff to share in the topics (Pics, Info on how their birthday went), sending it to a majority of the people would just become a pain (Obviously Carbon Copy is available, but you can't CC alot of people, I think). We could also just post most of these topics in the Forum Fun and Games section, seems suitable there as birthdays are meant to be "Fun". Plus it could stop idiots from raising their post counts. You do have a point though, I guess with all these birthday topics popping up this week, it should eventually come to a low-down later on next week, hopefully.

I was reading an IGN article on it, and truthfully, this is a promising game. When you look at those images, they seem exactly like GTA IV, only on a DS, but of course we know they can't actually get a full-on city on a DS, but damn, it looks good either way. My mate and cousin will hopefully get this game, if I can persuade them.

Happy birthday Noru. And just like Salvatore would say: "Oh I'd kiss you if you shaved". - GTA LCS. Anyways, happy birthday again, hope you're having a great time.

Vista sucks? It doesn't. I'm using Vista x64 on my system, and it runs like a charm. Obviously my specs are Intel Core 2 Quad, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD etc. etc. And it runs super smooth. At the end of the day, it just requires a pretty decent PC to run it on, if you don't have a decent PC, then you're just not going to experience what you're suppose to. My PC is a Mid-end so it's running fine on it. What else... Vista has an awesome theme, I don't know why you guys hate it, it's way better than XP. Most of these XP dudes need to move on from XP, they seriously shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, even if they have tried it, it's improved, and runs nicely.

I accidentally clicked the fire button when I had the grenade. It was cooked for a few seconds, and when I heard the beep, I dropped it and it exploded. Me and Roman were standing near each, but got caught in the explosion and both of us died. Haha. First time newbie mistake when I started playing GTA IV.

I miss the cartoons of the 90s'. "Hey Arnold", The "Angry Beavers" and all that are awesome shows I use to love and watch when I was young. It's a pity that current gen cartoons can't be like them since they lack the certain thing that makes the 90s' Cartoons awesome like back in the days.

Say you double post by accident (All at one time it happens due to poor internet connection), usually the double post gets merged with the first post and that then can be declared as still the first post, but it just has the same words on it that you had in the first place. Obviously if you think of this in a webmasters view, it's not a good idea for various reasons, first one being that people can abuse this. They could make some silly spam post or place a full stop in just 1 single post, not only does that mean they spam, but when they delete it, it ends up in the trash can or gets deleted without no trace of it on forums. At some point, admins or mods would like to know who deleted the post, so thinking about this, it'd be better to have known a staff members has deleted it rather than think one of the two did it, in which you become unsure of. This could most likely make it harder for admins and mods to check who's spamming and if someone has dealt with that person. Obviously anyone can have a random-ass party in the lounge (The random-ass party could be the topic and the posts in it), and when the staff come on, they will most likely delete it so the staff think it's already been dealt with, or that nothing happened in the first place. If members had this privilege, they will most likely abuse it, and not only that, but if they get reported, they can easily delete their post without problems at all. The most polite way to say you want to delete a post is either say "Double post. Please delete". Obviously it may not get deleted, but if a staff member thinks it's valid to delete, they'll delete it. Use the report feature if you feel that no one has seen it, then a staff member will come and delete it, or leave it depending on the state of the topic, or something to that lines. You shouldn't really worry about that, I mean, you can double post if you want to, but as long as your post is worthy. Don't go crazy and do triple/quadruple posts, that just makes it looked spammed up, and that's where the EDIT button comes in. Use that if you want to add something else to your post, and don't add a new reply, that will obviously get merged with the current first post you posted in that topic. I disagree with the idea, it just changes alot of things, and starts to get annoying, that when you reply to that post, it gets deleted, and the source you quoted has disappeared. Makes you confused as well. Hope this helps you mate.

It's your fault really, you shouldn't even mess about in school if you were suppose to have this sort of end of grade test or whatever. Take the failure. Suing doesn't get you anywhere, and it's you that caused the problem, and after all, if you ever did take the suing part in, your mother will get laughed at in court for something like that. I just think take in the failure, that way, you can rot and learn from your past mistakes. It may sound harsh, but if you got suspended, it's your fault really, and your mother suing the school board isn't really going to resolve anything at all. You're just wasting your time. So take the failure I'd say, you'd be wasting your time.

Wat? You do realize that someone can easily reinstall the game, right? Why would they want to look for "modded WORKING" ones for? Original files can be obtained if you simply just reinstall your game. If someone has a illegitimate version of GTA SA, well it's tough on them for downloading it, when they could of legally downloaded from a trusted source, or brought it from the store. Also, why do you link to GTA-Downloads for? You do realize, like all fan sites, they don't have original files there? If they did, anyone can freely download the file, and not only that, can use it in their illegitimate version of their game, which may not have that file. So yeah, to sum it up, either reinstall the game, or if you can't do that, buy the legal version. It's that simple. What the hell? You didn't want to post this? You really didn't even need to, we have people who know that posting original files isn't allowed. Sorry, but you just wasted your time, mate.

Damn I never knew that, at least when I go through the police, at least I know that I'm safe without having a single bullet hitting me.

Whenever I killed the don, I would do it this way, I'd wait either wait right near the entrance, and then gun him down, or I would wait in a car, and when he goes, I jump out and begin shooting him via Drive-by. That's the only 2 I did. I used the rocket launcher before, until I realised that was cheating, so I did challenging ways to kill him.

I remember you back in the old days when I was noob. You weren't active then, but I did see the odd 1-4 posts from you. Anyways welcome back Akuma.

Happy birhtday Ivan! Have a great time.

Hmm, not sure really. Just like you, I want to do something in design, in fact, I love designing stuff. I love digital Art, along with 3D Art, and I even love 3D modelling. I've done 3D modelling in my Resistant Materials class, and although I hate the subject, the only part I liked was the 3D modelling. I created CD racks, along with computer desks, chairs, and even once I tried to create my own house, until I realized that I would need the full measurements of my house, but I found that It would take quite some time to find the measurements. So I gave up on it for the time being. I do tend to enjoy digital art, it's fun, and in fact, you can create so much great stuff from it. Since I have nice decent skills in drawing and along with great knowledge on Photoshop, I could create anything that I want to, but all it requires is time, which currently I'm lacking in. Game design though is a great subject to do, that is if you're dedicated to it. I'm not sure whether I'm fully into it, but I do enjoy playing computer games. And seeing all these great games, it just makes you want to make of them yourself, but really, it would take time. Now I feel unsure about game design. I do like it, and I've studied quite alot of things from it, but one thing I do feel confident about is graphics and web design, I have created alot of cool stuff, but for now, I'm unsure on what to do. I'm thinking rather than be specialized in just one subject, I'd learn more fields in IT and design, and I think that would be much help to me. I don't really want to be learning just one thing, I'd prefer to learn more things in that subject, cause there is quite a bit. Just means that I've gotta spend more time learning it really. I think where I am at the moment seems to be reasoning with that. Probably when I head to Uni, I'll probably decide on what I want to do really, I mean I could just learn 1 thing, or alot of things. It's just a hard thing to decide. For now though, I'm just going to continue developing my knowledge and understanding in both ICT and graphics. Hopefully something good will happen. Thomas, you should go and talk with your careers advisor, mine helped me out alot. Obviously at some stage, if you can't achieve that goal, your advisor will ask you what alternative career you'd like, it's happened to me, and I said anything code related e.g. Web design, software dev & des. Obviously I have some great knowledge in both coding and design, so that could be an alternative for me if I don't get into Game Development. So yeah, good luck and hopefully you'll find something you'll like.

You're going to have to wait unfortunately. It does take some time to approve a mod, with the amount of staff actually on here who do this job, your just going to have to wait until it gets approved.
