Nah some folks were calling me fat. I'm no more fat than I'm a nerd.

But please Pesty, humour me, what makes you think I'm a nerd?

I've made history hooray!

You really shouldn't drink bleak coffee, go get yourself some decent stuff!

Finished it! Left me wanting more!

One of my top ten fave AGS games, that.

Reference to a comic Ashen linked to on another thread:

Am I supposed to be insulted by being called a geek and a nerd? According to some people on the net who have never met me then, I am a gay, fat, star wars-porn loving nerd.

Suck my cock, bitch!

I think I could win every single internet argument ever with that one line.

Alas no, for I say to you, GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!

Kinoko: 185 artists when Vacant Stare's album comes through my letterbox! 

Hammerite: Which is your fave Placebo album? Mine is the first one, followed by black market music. Although my fave placebo song is Slave to the wage, or maybe the song that goes "since i was born i started to decay"

Cooper temple clause? They're alright, I nearly got an album of there's years ago, but ultimately I didn't like them enough. Oh well! My loss eh! And I'll recommend to you, Mew!

Okay then , I've read it for the first time. Let me just say that I like the words used and there's a lot of good stuff here, but I did have to read certain paragraphs twice to try to understand it. (Although I'm rather tired and it's late) So recap here, I liked it, but I'm probably going to sound harsh and mean here! So apologies in advance.

Did Jenny kill Rich as a ghost, 'cos the axe is still there? I thought the Dave ghost thing was just Richard's own insanity?

Mostly I was confused by things like:

Dave had always been rather unimaginative in real life, as was proven by his eagerness to go off to a place where old men would sit around in sweater vests and tell him how to think. Therefore, when he heard the exact same phrase uttered as it had been one year ago, it didn't much surprise him. This time, he sat in the kind of cool, collected thought that had led to his decision to kill Dave in the first place, and realized the quandary in which the spirit wallowed.

Here is how that looks to me when I read that:

Ok, Dave was unimaginative. Therefore when Dave heard that exact phrase uttered it didn't surprose him. ..the thought that had made Dave decide to kill Dave- Eh? When did we switch back to Richard?

Also, I was confused because I wasn't sure who was driving to work and who wasn't. Then I didn't realise Dave was walking into the shop as well. And then you start off with "Her hips.." sorry who? Bit odd to start it off like that! Perhaps it's my own fault for not knowing what a strumpet is then. Hang on, you mean Rich is already behind the counter? Since when?

Oh and the capital letters bit looks unprofessional in my opinion.

At first I thought of the problem I was having, where if my bluetooth adaptor lost a connection halfway through transfering something, the btstackserver would use up all my cpu.

System Idle Process is what takes all the CPU.

Until I see this. The idle process is just showing you the cpu memory that isn't in use. It's perfectly normal. So I begin to suspect your computer has some different kind of problem going on.

It's hard to say without literally checking out your computer myself. Even then I'm no tech head myself!

So lets see... I listen to an estimation of 184 artists, so I would need to set up 46 pollstar accounts!

Hmm yes I like the idea of this web detect thing! I'll give that a go! Sounds like a nifty program! Thanks!

i had a look, and a free account only lets you have four artists on there. 

Hmmm.. at this rate, I either be really ambitious and make the site myself and make millions, or I just check my bands occasionally...

Ok so I was too tempted last night and played 20 minutes of the game!

Can't think of anything that hasn't already been said... but anyway I'm loving this game! I love in particular the responses the main character gives to interacting with things. Good humour, neat character designs, and cool music!

There is that but then based on the few band email newsletters I'm signed up for, you get loads stuffed full of unimportant things to me like "Casey Chaos gets a haircut tonight!" (Ok I made that one up) or mostly about bands going on the radio or something. I don't have time to read all that crap! (Well okay maybe I do but I don't wanna!)

Thanks for the suggestion though!

I'll just bring up racism and sex now shall I? So it's out of the way of this thread. I have no idea how the topics could be linked but they always manage to find a way...

I'm totally fine with the smoking ban. That's all I have to say on the matter!

I wish there was a website (and if there is please tell me!) where you could input all the bands you like into it and it would email you or something to tell you whenever a band you like has an album due out that month.

It's a nightmare trying to keep track! I just found out that Placebo, The Wonderstuff and Action Action all have albums out on 20th! In the past I have found out that bands I like had released stuff and I'd had no idea! For example, "Lit!"

Ooh that reminds me, Polysics have an album out in a few months..

Just to let you know, I downloaded the game for safe keeping, to play whenever! I do look foward to playing it though! Looks sweet!

Now the good news is most of us are able to repress that sucker and keep him under wraps.

Not indefinately though. Just like a vacuum cleaner when it gets full, you're forced to empty the contents eventually, or it'll just 'burst' open when you least expect it.

Yuck. Seriously....

I think you might want to go here, Matt:

Okay... *Reads and skip-reads the page*

Erm... why did you want me to go there for? Because people "release" something?

GrrRrr, well at least ManicMatt got something out of it

Yup! How on earth did nobody I know mention homestar runner? I'll have to ask everyone now if they've heard of it! I'm a f*cking cartoonist as well for f*ck's sakes!

I must confess, I've never seen this site before! hehe I love the email section!
