  1. OH god, what a load of sensationalist crap. Was it co-produced by Fox News? Shocking articles on the background, porn grade music, fast cutting between interviewees. This is bad journalism.
  2. Apparently you can score some coasters as a preorder bonus at K-mart: http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topi...vegas-coasters/
  3. I guess I'll make a post on point. I've been relistening to Orbital discography. What an ace band, absolutely brilliant throughout their entire career!
  4. New Sherlock is really good. Best Sherlock in years.
  5. Most modern music sucks.... oh god, i'm getting old:(
  6. Are you talking about the movie or TV show?
  7. Rated 18 in UK, 5 hours of cutscenes http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=257896
  8. one of these days, I'll start writing my mopey crap here, but not right now.
  9. Really nice in Chi-town right now - +25C and 53% humidity. ahhhhhh
  10. Here's the email I got(funny thing is, I don't play WOW, only tried demo once about 4 years ago): As you can see, all of the links but one are legit. And the phishing page has all of the right links. So keep an eye out for that one
  11. We know nearly nothing about them for now, it's a bit premature to say that, don't you think? Well, it doesn't look like a vodyanoi and it lives in a cave, so I'd say it's enough to assume that its pretty different from the folklore version of the monster. Not that I care that much, tbh. I'll still be whooping its ass:)
  12. Right, but in TW they still share some common themes with the folk monsters, while the DS3 ones don't seem to have anything to do with it. Also, I always imagined vodyanoi like this: http://ptzonline.ru/uploads/images/1/b/a/6/9/0e595952d1.jpg
  13. Care to elaborate a little bit more? What do you mean by 'originally designed NCR' ? You mean the area in Fallout 2? The faction in Fallout 2? Or the idea of NCR (which already appeared in a Fallout ending, but I'm sure you know that already)? Anyway, I don't have clue for any of these answers. area and the faction. I don't think that NCR in F1 was anything more than a mention in the ending.
  14. Does anyone know who originally designed NCR?
  15. Vodyanoi is a Russian name for a folk monster common in Eastern Europe. So it makes sense in a polish game, where it actually appears in swaps(although it's weird that it uses Russian name, in Polish it's wodnjak or wodnik, or something similar) The thing in the screens doesn't look like a vodyanoi at all, so I wonder if they named it like that just for a cool name...
  16. AFAIK prince Charles will become the King. Which brings another question, will everything that's currently dubbed "Her majesty's" will have to be redubbed "His Majesty's" ?
  17. Cambridge. Picturesque, interesting, cultured. And bloody windy. The wind comes across the fens like a whip, and doesn't stop. It's really flat out there (then again, you are from Chicago, the Windy City, right?). I prefer the western side of the UK TBH, and I'm originally from deepest Sarf Lunnon. As for schools, a country the size of the USA is inevitably going to have an amazing diversity of provision, from superb to disgraceful. You'd call it a zip-code lottery, what we call a post-code lottery. It's strange for Americans to move here unless they are sent here for work reasons. Having said that, I've met a few (more Canadians TBH) and they all seem to like it. Unless they're from somewhere hot. I'd prepare myself, were I an American, for the following: * Very long conversations about the weather. This cliche is completely true. * Dreadful, prurient tabloid media that makes the National Enquirer look like the Washington Post * No guns, well not very often and certainly not anywhere nice unless you happen across one of these wierd rural death-wishes we've had recently * Football. Lots of football. Jesus I hate football, get into rugby it's far more interesting * Excellent beer. Good wine is cheaper than you find in the States, too. In fact, get used to British drinking. The British are drunks, we will look at you strangely if you are not partaking... * ... which brings me onto pubs. Find a good one, dig in, get known, enjoy and you won't go home. Literally. * Old buildings. Yanks get really freaked out by the old buildings. My local church is Norman. * Driving on the correct side of the road * The Queen. Don't diss The Boss * London. London is a post-modern Rome, a city state that is part Blade Runner, part 16th Century Venice and completely loopy * Walking. We walk. We don't drive everywhere, mainly because that gets in the way of us having a drink There's a starter for ten. Cheers MC let's see... TO start off, I'm not American, I'm Russian, but I've lived here since I was 15(will be 26 this year), finished high school and stuff. That being said: 1. My currently favorite TV shows are: Doctor Who(watched all of the nuWho, watching classics), Green Wing/IT Crowd/Black Books, Top Gear and Skins(first two seasons) 2. My Favorite beer right now is Samuel Smith's lager 3. I really like steak and ale pie. 4. I like EPL(even though it does look like volleyball sometimes)... 5. One of my favorite bars to visit is called the Globe and is one of the best football bars in the country. It's owned by an Englishman and a Scotsman and on Saturday morning, during EPL is filled to the brim with British expats. Love those chaps. 6. I also like walking, old buildings(I live in a historic neighborhood, although here historic means 100 years) and whiskey(and by whiskey, i mean scotch, not bourbon)
  18. lol. the third monster is called vodyanoy. so russian of them:)
  19. The only problem is in the way those funds are spread. Also, a lot of the teachers are lazy and lackadaisical(check me out showing off) Not sure, but it was full of ghetto kids. Right now, she lives in Cambridge though. And while she loves the school she works at, she hates living in UK. But then, she was always the crazy one...
  20. Great, thanks for reminding me of suburbia:( There is nothing that I hate more about this country than suburbia
  21. I will not buy this game no matter how good it is. I refuse to support activision.
