Right, lets use a friend of mine as an example, in terms of medicine.

He became depressed and bitter, to the point of doing crazy things. This eventually causes him to go to the psychiatric/depressed section of the hospital. You know what I mean. They give him anti-depressents and goodness knows what, and he does indeed lose his personality. He becomes distant, and eventually seemingly insane.

Fast foward a year later. He gets put into a hospital that exists purely for people with his uncommon condition (that I won't get into). He gets put on a whole different set of drugs. These make him excited and hyper. Eventually I see a dramatic turn in him, and he's more or less back to his old self again, from five years ago.

So you see, in hospital they didn't give a shit, and just kept making him permenantly drowsy.

I think this is why one person is saying they do something different to what another thinks they do. (the drugs)

I'll post my thoughts here too, but they'll probably be of little use.

I can think of two occasions when I was depressed. The first time was at school, when I was about 14-15. I won't go into why, but I would go from lesson to lesson silently, people would talk to me and I wouldn't talk back. People would crack a joke to cheer me up. I would hear the joke, and even find it funny, yet was so bad that I couldn't even raise a smile. It was like I was a prisoner in my own mind. I did have suicidal thoughts, but I didn't act out on them. Eventually, as time passed by, I was just sick of feeling depressed and snapped out of it, slowly. I began to reconnect with the world. Shame this hasn't happened with your friend.

The other occasion, was even worse, and was nearly the end of me. Eventually I went counselling, deciding not to take medication. I am of the sort who doesn't like to rely on drugs unless I really have to. The counselling was just depressing me further, having to talk about all my problems over and over, like as if I hadn't told them to enough people already.

Once again I just moved on with my life.

I wonder why he hasn't just got sick of being sad.

I wonder, if you did stop being so sad for him, and trying to cheer him up, would this have a postive or negative effect on him. Hmmm...

Hello!

I've had this song in the wings for ages. Vict0r and Nikolas will recognise it. The song is called "Breakdown", and my issue with the song is that it sounds to me like it's missing something, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I figured it might be bass in the verses (Chorus is more or less fine), but I just can't get a bass to work with it! Also, disregard the piano jabs at the last chorus, it doesnt work and will be cut out in the end. If the song has an extra bit at the end as well, just pretend that's not there!

This song was made before "No one knows" and "Stuck Together".

Thanks for any feedback! That is, actual constructive feedback, thanks.

EDIT: Nikolas was kind enough to upload the song to his space! :)

*Use remote control with crystal*

I was stuck with that puzzle for so long, that the discs became corrupted with age and I couldn't actually solve it.

Tell a lie, the discs just got corrupted rather abruptly. But I still hate the very thought of that puzzle.

I'm just trying to act good, and be a well-mannered poster for once.

Pffft! Only recently you sent me a PM saying my games "smell"! Unless you meant they smell of sweet perfume or something. Ha!

I tripped over whilst reading this thread. It was distracting! I'm gonna sue CJ for every penny he has!  >:(

Seriously though, there is waaaaaaaaaay too much CGI in films these days. I couldn't even bare to watch the last Hulk film, and Spiderman looks like a man made of rubber when he swings. And don't get me started on King Kong...

I haven't played this game, but I hear he's making a game where you're extreme Muslim terrorists and you have to infiltrate the most populated areas and set off your bomb on your back at the right time to score big and kill as many people as possible.

I'm lying. And that game.. wouldn't be well received, either...

Oh good, you changed the background on that screen!   ;)

Also - I feel that PlayStation only makes gimmicky games.

And the Wii remote isn't gimmicky?

Also, FIFA and PES appear on the xbox too, or did you forget that?

I got nothing against Nintendo's, and I'd love to play a Zelda game, but to write the PS2 off when you clearly haven't played all the great original games it has offered over the years, is rather ignorant.

Yes, but the PS3 is very expensive at £450.

It's £425. It has a blue ray drive in it too, which on their own cost around £1000, last I checked. But yes, a tad pricey I agree.

I think that the PS is simply a one-trick pony. It can only deliver sports games, like the Fifa franchise, and the Pro Evo series.

Excuse me? Currently on my PS2 I am playing this game:

Look closely and you'll see Zidane kicking a football around, I'm sure.  :P

And HELLO? GRAND THEFT AUTO?????

Also, check out this wrestling game:

You even get football controller with it. Oh no wait, it was a guitar controller, my bad.

Hmm it's the sort of thing I'd write when I was 12 years old...

Weak rhymes indeed! Especially "clap". It's obvious you used that merely because it rhymes.

Have this link, it's very useful. You type in a word and it will tell you what it rhymes with:

I didn't get what was supposed to be funny about dynamite, so I thought maybe this comment would be Radar being unaware of how stupid he's acting. Funnier at all.. anyone?

Also, if there were two clicks, does that mean Blip switched the light twice? Wouldn't it be dark again?

Nice entries, but erm.. SPRITE jam, no?  ::)

(Except the first entry, natch)

The alien one makes me laugh! Esper's is too obscure for me!
#1419
No.

Even though it sits on my shelf in it's very nice limited Edition packaging, will I EVER get round to playing Godfather - The average videogame on PS2?

Despite the empty faces this looks cool!

I'll be surprised if there aren't any "Office Space" references! In the secend screenshot, that guy isn't defending his stapler is he?  ;)
