Will this work? What's everyone upto?

Been ages since I've done a late night gaming session

To throw my tuppence into the ring Sonic, i'm catching up on a previous episode of gypsy wives:

and listening to this classic in between:

whilst drinking Tescos cider and eating oysters and langoustines in a black bean sauce

I've noticed that there's a link between you posting on the TEF and you drinking cider.

amirite?

Drinking red wine, watching repeats of QI on dave and randomly browsing the internet.

Normal Tuesday night raelly.

Yep, it's all I can stretch to on the drinking front, but AMEN for Tesco's reduced section, hence the languostines and oysters. Seemed to be a glut of oysters, an aphrodisiac it's said, the uptake on Valentine's must have been slack coz i'm stocked up to the gills. Have a good night all, back to Gypsies wives now!

What are you playing Sonic?

I've done a fair bit of wii goldeneye with a mate recently. I'm not great though. These more cover-based fps take a bit of getting used to. Give me twitchy circle strafing rocket jumps anyday.

I'm engrossed in FM11.

I quite fancy trying GoldenEye on the Wii, I'd be concerned at how shit I would be though....too many years of mouse+keyboard FPS games, I can't hold a controller properly anymore

I quite like the wiimote for fps. pointing the right hand around the screen feels more mousey than a little joystick on your thumb.

Playing with a real world friend has been much more fun than playing random internet people, but it has sort of made me want to try and get him to fish out old original Unreal Tournament (99?) and play that instead.

I just remembered about free browser Q3. I signed up in beta ages ago. Is it still there? (I'll find out)

I still play Q3 and UT2004 sometimes.

Quakelive is still there, not tried it for ages but it was 'ok' when it first got released

Yeah. Think I played about with it and then forgot.

I could just go and see if I can fish out the cd instead of waiting for this fucking content update on my shit internet connection before I can play. I just have fuck all idea where it is. Not sure where my UT cds are either. Although I swear I picked it up a spare copy from a charity shop for a quid fairly recently. Don't remember seeing it about though. Possibly left it in the pub.

Were the later UTs any good? I played the fuck out of 99 but never bothered with the later ones.

I liked 2K4. Not really tried the last few. I don't seem to buy any games except FM nowadays.

Watching Misfits... Love this show, only recently got into it.

I keep meaning to watch misfits, it seems to always be on my list but never quite near the top, think I got as far as to download most the first series at some point but still never got around to watching it.

I'm on Breaking Bad at the moment, onto the second series. Pretty cool. You'd like it Spy. It's about a high school chemistry teacher with terminal cancer who makes really good Crystal Meth to pay for his treatment. Not too spoiled I hope.

I've ended up spending an hour listening to music on youtube that I already have on mp3. I think that's a sign I should go to bed.

Night.

Definitely check out Misfits Ben. It's the most original and best acted thing I've seen in ages. Top quality sci fi.

I'll look into that breaking bad thing.

Evening all.

I'm up having one of those stressing nights about uni work, money, social life issues etc etc and generally feeling a bit fucked off.

Cheer me up then.

Do you have anyt alcohol?

Plenty kicking about but not sure how conducive it is to writing a decent dissertation

Ahh probably not.

I did plenty of essays coursework whilst tucking into beer, but never got as far as a dissertation.

How many words you planning to get through tonight or is it more just going through and checking, planning and shit?

I'm about 4k in to it, it's 10k so another thousand would be nice to get me halfway through it. I'm being quite meticulous as I go, rather than blitz it then go through it all (although obv I will go over it again) so it's not as simple as just dicing out a few paragraphs this time, which is fucking annoying.

Watching the mentalist after a night out dressed as batman :pint:

god i love this song

I watched the first episode of Misfits the other week and thought it looked fucking awful, like a shit Heroes, and Heroes was shit!

Have I misjudged it then, is it worth watching?

Haha as you do. Sore head this morning carbonwhite?

very sore yes. Never thought id wake up as batman either, i left robin on that mattress outside that ladys house

yes you have its quality

The first couple of episodes are a bit slow but it is funny as fuck.
