What the hell did I do? Dualnames is obsessed with me. I wasn't going to help him anyway, why would I want to? I've looked at his post history of recent times, and he mentions me on threads I have no involvement with. Most.. bizarre.

This was better:


I'm sure we all could have came up with better logos when we were ten years old! That really is crap. Also very eighties wack-a-day kiddy bollocks, or something.


Also available in blue:

The mighty SSH picks them. Which is why I am planning on bribing him with chocolates to get my game picked next.

I think it might be all changing soon anyways..

Something about a band named after a John Milton book just seems... bologna.

Riiiight. Well it's a film now as well! Infact, I was wearing a Paradise Lost band t-shirt the other day and a customer in my store asked me if I'd seen the film yet. Grr. Maybe I'll pretend I'm a big fan of Milton's eh!

Indeed, I listen to Clipse (hip-hop), Paradise Lost (Gothic metal), Clor (Electronic pop), Athlete (Indie), Roni Size Reprazents (Drum n bass), Kathryn Williams (Folk), MCR (Emo), Pitchshifter (Industrial) and Face To Face (Punk.)

So I must be an urban goth emo indie chav hippy punk.

Thankyou, LimpingFish.

Wtcq: For the record, I manage a videogame store. I should think I know what I'm talking about.  :)

Mafia. PS2 version. Crap.

The buildings looked like carboard cut outs, maybe they watched Dick Tracy for inspiration. The
AI was mind reading, the enemies would KNOW where you are all the time and shoot you precisely the moment you move from cover, like as if they had x-ray vision. The loading times were one of worse I've endured in a ps2 game. (Another game would be Commandos 2)

There you are, driving a car which is in a mission where you must not damage it, under a time limit, and you drive over a bridge. The road is clear of any cars, so you go fairly fast. The game goes to a loading screen to load up the next part of the city. Five minutes later the game loads up and your car is still travelling at the same speed, except a car has been spawned right in front of you which is impossible to avoid. CRASH! MISSION FAILED!!! Fantastic.

As for the personality of a character in GTA. In GTA3 they gave him no character, but when in a cutscene someone shouts at him, he doesn't ever say anything. But an inaction is an action too! It looks like he has no back spine. So I don't see how you can make someone have the character of the player unless the player has 100% output in the actions of the character. I presume Rockstar didnt think it worked, or people asked for a person with personality.

"you sleep with your brother"

A comment posted on one of my music videos. My brother isn't even in the video, or anyone who could possibly BE my brother! It makes no sense! It's like someone didnt even watch the video, they just like to post random insults at total strangers with no fear of getting their teeth kicked in, safe behind their monitor.

I'm surprised the jury is out on this one!

Like everyone else, the left man, the left!

The right one looks too much like some basic word font, the one on the left goes with the picture and has style.

The hair really bothers me! It's so flat in your portrait! Round it off some more? And is it the light? Cos you look blonde in the photo.

I think you need to show a better photo of yourself for the artists here to help you. There is too much light, which hampers being able to see the details in your face.

I'd post the link to my old cover of an old Jesus Jones song "Nothing to hold me", but who here has actually heard the original?

Anyway I've been replaying some stupid game , i think it's called Secrets.

You're playing it more than once? Great!  :D

Thats funny, I was just following Cyrus' obsession with MI myself!

That reminds me, I am working on a new Monkey Island game and I have got Dominic Armato to do the voice of Guybrush, and Helm is doing the graphics, with Nikolas providing the music. Steel Drummer plays the triangle. The game will be released in 2009.

Hudders is right!

Recall a crap film you watched. You were stuck in the cinema and were forced to watch it all the way through. The credits roll. Do you?:

A) Sit through the credits in hope of seeing an extra clip of a bad film.
B) Get up and moan about the film as you leave the cinema.
C)Find out who was responsible for making the props in the film and take a great disliking to them.
D)Make a note of the main producer of the film and take a great disliking to them.
