Re: What made you smile today? (4 years ago)

Spent half the day with a female friend just hanging out being bums at my place. Out of the blue i get a random kiss and a thank you.
In shock i said "what for?"
Her reply was " For being you and being there for me, thank you for being so caring."
"It's alright it's just my nature"
Her reply was "Your too good for me, You always make me happy no matter what."
I felt warm and fuzzy.

Re: What really ticks you off? (4 years ago)

I'm ticked off with females.

ME and a lovely female have been hanging out alot for the last month. And we spend sometime being cossy with each other. Themn me being the honest male I am. I pretty much asked her out. there was no comment. A whole week later it's still the normal hanging out, watching dvds in bed, mucking around.

Now I have no idea where I stand and what i can and can't do. The only thing after I said I liked her more than a friend was that we have been talking a hell alot more and she is even getting closer to me and pecking me on the check.

But I am so lost because I thought I have thrown the relationship ball into her court but no answe and she is getting closer. But I have no idea whats happening.

Re: The Gym/Losing Weight thread (4 years ago)

I seriously did not know this thread existed. I feel like a moron.
Well thats what university does to you.

I started my weight loss December 2007. I was 125Kgs.
Then went down to 100Kgs in Jan. 2009.

Since then I have cut all soft drinks out of my diet and now at 88Kgs.
I have begun to exercise again with some cycling on the exercise bike.

8 Kgs to go!

I think this cover is one of the best covers. The NIN version is good but Johnny makes it. The best cover is still Hallejuah by Jrff Buckley

Re: What really ticks you off? (4 years ago)

I'm doing a Bachelor Arts Majoring in computing and Bachelor of Teaching.
I have massive breaks during the day of like 5 hours. I don't want to travel too much. Which I am doing work but not at my full potential. I get interrupted a lot. So i get to the point where i find a corner and try and work.
And lately my stress levels are going off because I just can't find time to relax.

Re: What really ticks you off? (4 years ago)

I am a first year Uni student.

I leave at 6am to pick up a friend then go to Uni because we have an early study group as study at 7am as the lecture starts at 8am. On the same day I finish at 8pm and get home before 9pm depends on if i get dinner with friends on the way home. My other days are some what better but i am still spending 10 hours out. I quess I'm just feeling the pinch after a somewhat easy life at high school. Still my gripe is not having time for me.

Re: What really ticks you off? (4 years ago)

leaving home at 6am and getting home at 9pm. means no time. weekends are full of family things and time i spend at uni is mostly wasted.

Re: What really ticks you off? (4 years ago)

What is really annoying is not having time to do anything I wish to do. Now that I am at Uni i spen 4 days at uni and the whole day is spent there. No time to do things and by the time i get home i am too tired to do anything. Like posting on here.

Going to ACU is annoying as the lecture rooms dont have the air con running so it becomes really stuffy and is a problem to concetrate in. Right now its raining outside and the lecture room is like 29 degrees and there is no air movement.

My biggest complaint is that my Tutorial group for Computers did a test yesterday. The files were left on the network meaning that people who did the test today could see it advance. I spent hours studying and stressing and nothing, it has been scraped. I want toscream at the person who left it there.

Re: What really ticks you off? (4 years ago)

I'm not that desperate to pay. I just want to find solace in another person.

I just will go from where I was originally. Hidden away.

But now I wish that a good thing arises. Don't see that happening soon.

Re: What really ticks you off? (4 years ago)

What pisses me off is that I have 3 females of interest. I was going to ask one out. But little did I know that my mate asked her out on the train home. And I found out the next day. I was a little shattered. Now I am relegated to being her "Best Friend". And she seriously calls me that. And I'm still unsteady by it.

Then I thought "hey there's 2 others". I was going to ask 1 out tonight. But I found out that she was already in a relationship which she never spoke of.

At this point I'm ready to scream.

Then I was chatting with the last one. The topic came up. She joked that she doesn't want a serious relationship. She only likes to go on single dates because guys take her out and she has fun for free.

So know I feel the need to give up because I thought 1 out 3 were good odds but now I just hate it.

I feel that I need to just go for it and make an ass of myself if it doesn't work out.

Three perfectly fine good looking females now lost.

GTA IV: The Lost and Damned To Be Sold At Retail (4 years ago)

I have just read this from Kotaku.

Here is the full Link: http://www.kotaku.com.au/games/2009/02/gta_iv_the_lost_and_damned_to_be_sold_at_retail.html

I actually think it is a good idea to sell xbox arcade games like this with pre paid codes. This way allows people to buy a game or the exact price not buying 3000 microsoft points and having 500 or so left over. This happens with me a lot buying Rockband songs.

The idea I believe is good as people new to Xbox live may see this as an easier option to buy the many titles in the arcade range.

Re: What really ticks you off? (4 years ago)

I work at a Subway in Western Sydney. The store I work at is in an industrial area. During lunch we are non stop busy but at night its quiet and is a nicer place to work.

Seems great so far but, I get customers who come to the door right when we close at 9pm. I think this is a reasonable time as we are located in an industrial area and it being western Sydney not the safest place in the world.

At 9pm when i turn the big neon signs, a few of the lights off and close and lock the door. (We never have the door closed unless we are closed.) You would think people would not come to the door and try and get in.

But NOOOO!!!! Many customers from a certain part of the world (Sub-continent) come and park their cars and walk to the door and try and open it. Many stand at the door and knock on the glass to get our attention.

Many times we say "closed" and give signals to say we are closed. Many do not read the hours of operation on the door, that they are trying to open.

Many of our customers plead with us to open the doors even when it has past 9pm. On many occasions we have customers who become irate and angry because they arrive too late.

But tonight I had 7 customers come in the space of 10 minutes trying to open the door and i mean like shove the door violently. One customer of the previously stated background started to yell at my female coworker for us closing at the stated time. I returned be telling the customer that we are closed and I pointed at the time on the door and telling him he is too late. The customer yelled at me to open the door because he wanted something to eat.(There is a Hungry Jacks, McDonalds around the corner and about 4 servos.)

I then asked the customer to leave the premises. He stated "that it is a free country." Then following the lines from the movie Snatch. "I yelled but it's not a free store" He replied I am going to ring your manager tomorrow about this incident.

The funniest thing is: I am the stand-in Manager for the next 4 weeks. I am the person who will answer the phone tomorrow morning and I have a witness and footage of the incident.

So what ticks me off is customers who believe that their money is good after hours and who try to enter a shop with a majority of it's lights off and the door locked.

Re: More Halo Wars media (4 years ago)

The game looks great.

The only thing that may bring it down is the control scheme. And bugs that occur in every RTS where buildings or troops are uneven in strengths and speed.

Re: Rock Band to have as many as 5,000 tracks by end of year (4 years ago)

That would be so great to have that massive selection of songs to choose from but, 2 questions.

How are we going to store that many songs on hard drives? Considering a song pack is around 120mb. And individual songs are 20Mb or higher.

When are we getting Rockband 2?

Re: Rockband AC/DC (4 years ago)

That's exactly what i did. I bought the game at EB put it in downloaded the songs. Then took it back for a refund. The guy at the desk had no idea about the code and he said he will probably buy the copy that I had brought back because the can purchase returned games for a cheaper price. Well that's what he told me.

Re: Rockband AC/DC (4 years ago)

When you buy the game.

On the back of the booklet that comes with the game there is a code, which allows you to download the songs to your hard drive for use with Rockband 1/ 2 for free.

This continues Rockband's creators idea of having all the songs including those on disc and downloadable to be played on the one game. I.e. Rockband 2.

It follows there service where you pay to export Rockband 1 songs to hard drive to be played on Rockband 2. But the AC/DC Track Pack does this for free.
