You've essentially written yourself into a Catch-22 situation where you personally are not willing to commit to any reasonable course of action, so my question is this:  what sort of advice could you hope for when you are completely unwilling to:

A) Give her up and move on.

B) Tell her how things are and risk everything.

or
C) Continue on with the way things are.


You've really hedged yourself into a no-win scenario where there isn't a fucking ounce of useful advice anyone can give you because you're just being too damn stubborn to begin with.  You know me so you know I don't dance about with what I have to say, and I know you so I know you'll take what I'm saying for what it is:

Come up with some more realistic options.


He has a point.


A) Be honest with yourself is it really going to happen? If not I'd say walk away.
B) If your dead certain that you both love each other as much as you claim, then take option B. Sure the husband might get hurt but unfortunately you're going to have to choose your feelings or your morals. Its gone so far now, you can't pick both.

C) This is not a viable option, do you really want to live like this the rest of your life.

D) I suggest you talk about this to her next time you see her on her own. The worst thats going to happen is that you know where you stand and you know that option A is the path to take. Sure it'll hurt, but believe me it gets easier. It takes balls to do this so if you don't have any grow some.

Unfortunately I don't have a time machine. Do you know how much those Deloreans cost?

Good Luck buddy,

Stee

Yeah, I agree in general. It's just that I can't stand it if people say, the immigrants have to be productive, educated.. well, "useful" to be welcomed in a country. That's not why they migrate, they (most) migrate to flee from starvation, persecution, dictatorships etc. and they all have the right and a damn good reason to do so. Not letting them into the country cause they're no enrichement for the economy is just.. well, perverse.

They're are called Asylum Seekers. Whilst all asylum seekers are immigrants, not all immigrants are asylum seekers.

Just thought I'd point that out. And I am almost certain that "most" immigrants are not asylum seekers.

So...

"most" do not migrate to flee from starvation,persecution, dictatorships etc.

Reason's I believe most migrate:

Education: We arguably have one of the best education systems in the world (although, im starting to think otherwise with all these chavs growing in number). I don't know about other areas other than bristol where i study (i migrated from north to south  ;D), you go to the university and see how many foreign students there are compared to english ones. Thats even with the international fee's set at £15000/year (roughly 5 times the price of a national/european student). Once you are in the country 5 years you can claim nationality. Expensive route, but easiest.

Work: We have so many people moaning about the fact that there are no jobs (which normally translates to no jobs they are willing to do), that we have a nice foreign source coming into the country willing to take these shitty jobs that mr chav doesn't want to get off his benefits for, called the poles (and many other eastern countries). Eventually companies decide that they can exploit this market by offering foreign workers the jobs at smaller pay (lower than national minimum). We get more over here because this lower wage for foreigners is still higher than what they earn in their own country, so they save it up and send it home so their families can live like kings. Of course we get refused these jobs and the economy declines. In short the problem stems from the chav at the start of the paragraph.

Benefits: Some come in under the pretense that they are Asylum seekers (im not denying that there are a lot of genuine ones), in order to reap the benefits of the.... Benefit system. Chavs get pissed off because there are now other people scrounging off the taxpayer as well as them, which "affects their benefits". Benefits should be there for the people that need them, not for some inbred to misuse them. Im not against people taking benefits, as long as it is a genuine need, and lets face it so many people either abuse it, or intentionally put themselves into the situation where they need it (another form of abuse?).


Asylum: Of course they are a very select minority that come here seeking asylum. Funny thing is we are taking in so many, and then we got arrogant little cunts like the U.S Government who refuse to take so many. Problem is that its that Government putting us into so many wars (lets face it the uk is a bitch) and then leaving us to clean up your mess (taking in the asylum seekers). I mean its America's war, so they should take the responsibility for the causes of it (nb: I know not all asylums are iraqi's, afghani's etc, but theres no denying an increase since noses were poked into the east).

Regardless of which, the day the BNP gets voted in, is the day I leave the country (my country), and I hope their leader shares the same fate as Hitler (one testicle and a bullet in the head).

What's it like in the US anyway, jobwise? I might use my magical Visa Waiver program to "immigrate" and get a job.

Without trying to give anything away, having played the original version, lets just say I think the stormtrooper is a test dummy, for Shai-la to practice on.

Other peoples' problems with it isn't my problem, I've explained twice now what I meant by it but if you want to keep trying to twist it around with your ifs and buts that's your choice. But you're ignoring the fact that some americans, be they black, white, asian or any other "minority" you want to label people with will have voted for Obama simply based on the colour of his skin. And yes, some will have NOT voted for him for the same reason, and what I'm trying to get at is that both of those things are bad.


Agreed.

Its like Big Brother these days when it comes to elections. You had the retarded one (Bush), Now you've got the black one (Obama), next you'll get a woman, then a transvestite.....



In all fairness what did McCain have to offer? Bill Clinton already did the dirty old bastard sleeping with the younger woman. Try something new.

I have quite a lot of the BfS links up on my site. Feel free to have a look, although the site isn't finished yet.

http://www.agsn.co.uk

P.S if anyone would like to help out with the site, let me know.
#327
I'm available for proofreading and beta testing.

Would also appreciate if someone doesn't mind me tagging along on their project, helping out if I can on things other than art and music. I've not touched the AGS Editor in about 3 years (yeah shocking I know), so wouldn't mind any sort of assistance getting back into the swing of things (sort of a you helping me by helping you if I can remember anything useful).

If this sounds like the kind of thing your interested in or require, please send me a pm. I'm more likely to see a message in my inbox than revisit this topic over and over again.

Have to be honest, I've always had problems with AVG. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, even as a free product. I'd recommend Kaspersky, as its effective and didn't hog all my resources. Unfortunately some things are worth pating for.


Personally, although I know Im running a huge risk, I currently don't run AV software. I just make sure I avoid all those dodgy sites and turn off scripts for sites I don't know.

Autoerotic asphyxiation accident used to be my number two choice for how to die.  But since my number one choice used to be getting kicked out of a window by Kwai Chang Caine...

As long as its after the release of Resonance....  ;)

Heh, I got one of those card thingies through the door from the British Nazi Party, with a little form attached. I wondered what would happen if I put Muslim O'Gunbomb down as my name?

What people are scared of is the fact that, in short, they're cunts, and its not like something like this has never been voted into a country before. Look at Germany in the 1930s-1940s.

Personally I didn't vote this year, just like I havent voted for the 4 years I have been able to. Lets face it, there are only 3 parties powerful enough to actually get into number 10 (Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem). The other parties just seem to be lacking something to allow them to compete with these guys.

Personally I think Monster Raving Loony Party are probably the most qualified to do the job at the moment. I mean, who DOESN'T want a 99p coin? ;)

Immigration is a cause for concern, however I don't think the situation can be resolved by purging people from the country. We should just refuse to let anyone else in until some of them have left.

Unfortunately I think the only way the problem is going to be solved is when immigrants take all the jobs that pikey chavs should be getting off their arses to do instead of scrounging off the dole, bleed the country dry, and the bugger off to another country to repeat the process.

Forgive me if that sounds racist. To be honest my argument would be to deport all the scroungers (not unemployed people, scroungers - there is a difference) and replaced them with the hard working immigrants. If they are willing to work thats fine with me, but we gotta throw someone out.

Question as the title suggests. Thinking of writing a Xinput controller plugin, but I suppose theres no point if it can't be used.
#332
Wow.

I really hope this doesn't become vapourware like most games like this.

Good luck with the game!
#333
Wow, I paid £220 for mine 2nd hand.

Although something tells me i should've got a 360 and saved £50

It will close, sell all those photo's you uploaded, to advertising companies, like it planned to do originally, and live off the profits happily ever after.

Nah i was thinking more along the lines of Email and Skype.

Still I think iphone adventure development is a good idea. Think about it, its another platform to play on, and since most games are low res anyway its hardly a massive difference playing it on a small screen. Just avoid pixel hunts (which are silly puzzles anyway and often destroy games regardless)

Genial! Puis-je avoir l'original?

oh geez. 1:20 ? I'll watch it later.

I watched 30mins. It covered enough for me. I got bored after that.

It's a bit gimmicky, more than its useful. Yeah it makes some things a lot simpler, but it makes other things much more complicated. For example when your drunk and typing messages to people, and don't realise its going to them in "real time". Theres a reason theres a send button on msn, just like theres a reason for the "post" and "preview" buttons on this forum.

Well I played the murran games, and whilst i didn't like the blend between photo background and pixel character, the story was excellent (a rare find these days) and the game was f'ing sweet. So its no surprise Mr. Dangers Contest (which i havent got round to playing yet - uni exams weds, thurs, fri) is of equal calibre. Essentially you've built yourself a reputation, which you've earned

Duke Nukem Forever doesn't need more credit. Its been ...

Wow, and I thought it was obvious that I meant that as a joke. I shall use more smileys in future posts.

Sorry dude, I noticed it was a joke, I just wanted to express how much credit that game didn't deserve. That was a 3am rant anyways.
