Surprised he didn't shoot it. I remember reading a story about a dog that jumped out of a family's car (i don't know why they were stopped but it transpired he'd got the wrong people and they were just a nice happy family with a nice dog) and some cunt of a cop shot it.
Before all the militants clamour up - i don't give a shit. I'm pretty sure i could judge a nutcase attack dog from any other type of dog in the 5 seconds window i had between it jumping out and crossing the ground to me before it became too late to actually defend myself. Given the choice between killing one innocent dog and taking 5 seconds of a vague risk of being bitten, i take the risk and i'd want my police force populated by same. This is an offtopic disclaimer!!! Pre-emptive reply to the gunfreak militant psychopaths that we have on the sift!!! Sorry to drift offtopic!!!
Milkman dan is exactly right. It's not quite as free a baldur's gate, but baldur's gate was by no means a fully open world either. It's easier to crank out maps and locations in a BG style environment hence easier to create a game and make good profit from the work you put in.
Have we had a PERFECT reincarnation of BG using modern day gaming standards? Not yet, but it was close. Maybe it's a holy grail we're looking for, all us die hard BG fans.
I will however admit that the side quests and storyline in BG were so incredibly involved and engorging. Dragon age did not drag me in as much. I was absolutely infatuated with Leliana's accent and when i realised i could get my sexy redhead elf girl to get it on with the sexy orlaisian bard temptress, i was obsessed with getting that to happen.
I don't think that counts, though. I believe it was Durlag's Tower that i always remember most of all from any game, ever. The story and depth of that place was immense, you were slowly taken through the dwarf's footsteps and his eventual decline into insanity which led him to kill all his loved ones. That storyline really blew my socks off, and it didn't need lesbian sex or a hugely attractive exotic accent to do it.
Alright, Dragon Age isn't QUITE our new baldur's gate, but it's been the best contender by miles and miles. Maybe if this one does so well and we show our appreciation for the display of quality in areas that we most wanted it, they'll be able to improve on it and give us more. And maybe then we'll have our new baldur's gate.
Curb is by far the funniest comedy on tv at the moment. I feel sorry for all the fans of boil-in-the-bag, insert-joke-here comedy fans that can't understand it. I'm sure another rerun of friends will be on a channel soon.
Yep can't agree more, this does nothing but piss me off. Why would someone do this to someone else? It makes no sense. I was a very, very trusting, nice, polite and kind child. Being treated like this by people really fucked my life up - not only being emotionally and sometimes physically abused by my sibling but also eventually by a step parent. It turned me from an incredibly intelligent and gifted child into someone who suffers severely from cynicism, mistrust, apathy towards life and eventually severe bouts of depression.
I'm not saying that's what's happening here, nor that it's indicative of anything. I'm saying this sort of behaviour CAN ruin a large portion of a person's life, it absolutely disgusts me.
It's so unfair and so unnecessary, and the kid is so upset and so trusting... it reminds me so much of things that were done to me and makes me want to weep. That's why i'm so judgemental of it. It's too close to the nerve for me, and i know what this sort of shit can do to someone.
I remember when i was 7 or 8, i had a sister who was around 15 or 16. One day she was in my front garden talking to her friends and a few of mine. I went outside to join in. As soon as i got into the garden i heard her talking about how strong she was in that childish way. To prove it, as soon as i got close, she offered me a hug, then when i walked into it thinking "how lucky i am to have a sunny day, good friends, and a nice sister", she grabbed me around the neck and literally choked me. I wasn't even crying because i couldn't breath at all. I was screaming as best i could for her to let go, struggling, i couldn't even draw in a single breath so all my calls for help were limited by the breath that i had in my lungs to begin with.
She threw me to the floor and burst out laughing at me, calling me a girl and a baby and all the rest. In front of my friends. For those 30 seconds, i was scared for my life and it seemed like it went on for hours. Even recanting this story has made me cry for the last 10 minutes. I cry because i remember how innocent i was, how trusting i was, how fascinated by everything i was, how easily things came to me..... and the person i became now because of evil shits like this.
But that was many many years and a catalogue of abuse, and this is just a video of a twattish prank. However i'll leave it, because i feel better for writing it, and maybe in a roundabout way it'll make an impact on someone else.
I vote for more honesty in these video titles/descriptions in the recent spam of music videos from this particular group.
Video title like "Watch this to get a boner over the plain girl" And descriptions such as "I have a nerd crush on this stunningly bland girl in the top right section of the screen"
I think they turn up for recordings with a hazy idea and it goes like this:
So what are we doin today? Dunno, just gonna jam a little, edit into something usable. Ok then i'll just sing a computer generated set of lyrics in the little childlike cutesy voice i always use, right? Right.
-- 5 mins later --
Well there's another hit! See you tomorrow! I've got a date with some internet guy who watched one of our videos and thinks i can't do any better because i'm not conventionally 'hot' but more tending towards 'cute' in a nerdy way. Cya!
There's one much, much, much worse than this which i can recall. Problem is i can't remember the name of the game. All i remember was it looked a little bit like a baldur's gate 1 or 2 clone and as i love those games i thought i'd give it a try.
The opening was a little video giving some backstory, it was a little girl and her grandpa talking.
Guy in a gruff, husky voice "Some random shit about having to go and do something which may mean i never return!"
THE SAME GUY IN A FUCKING FALSETTO THAT WAS SO OBVIOUS AND FAKE SOUNDING I, FOR A MINUTE, THOUGHT IT WAS A PARODY OR JOKE "Oh no grandpa!"
It really was as bad as you can possibly imagine it. Worse, in fact. It was like listening to someone playing with dolls and slightly altering their voice when doing the doll dialogue. God i wish i could remember the name. I wish i'd kept it in fact, that's worth £20. I returned it
Just.... get a guy in a similar position at different times of the day and see where the fucking shadows fall.
People get so confused so easily about this stuff. He's just using a computer to do it. They could still do it yourself, if they didn't have computers.
But my comment is nothing to do with whether or not the conspiracy is true, i don't know/care, i wasn't even aware there was one regarding this photo, i'm not from your neck of the woods
Over here they're called "jobsworth". Like cos they like to say "it's more than my job's worth to change the rules" or whatever. I like it. Jobsworth bastards.
>> ^StukaFox: >> ^Samaelsmith: Did that guy seriously just tackle a swordfish from the air?!
Yes. And then he fucked it. He fucked it for 18 straight hours on a single breath. Then when he was done, he kissed it gently, whispering, "I love you, but I must do this . . ." and kicked the fish straight out of the ocean and into whirling blades of the helicopter above. The once-great ocean predator was instantly shredded into 16,000 perfectly-sized sashimi slices, which this man then ate as a post-coital meal. Turning to the camera, he sang:
"I love to fuck a fish -- boombeyatta boombeyatta!"
Thus, Chuck Norris made his very last appearance in any Discovery Channel production ever.

He probably enjoys stuff like "will and grace" where you can see every joke coming 5 minutes before it arrives. Curb your enthusiasm is a real breath of fresh air imo, it smacks of something different and great like the UK's office and extras did. (Not a fan of the US ones, especially after they stopped copying the UK's version's scripts. They shouldn't have remade it really.)
>> ^sineral: There's no evidence in this video that the girl did anything wrong. At the very start of the video it looks like she's slapping a fly on the horse--people with horses do that. Then it looks like she's trying to get the horse to back up--also something that people with horses occasionally want them to do. Just because an animal attacks a person doesn't mean the person did anything wrong; horses in particular can be moody and some of them just like to bite. Biting her like it did, the horse could have caused serious injury to her neck or head.
Last time I checked, life was not a sporting event, and the concerns of humans outweighed the concerns of animals. Cheering when an animal mauls a human(a child in this case even!) is ignorant and disgusting.
Oh mr. indignant. Just because you think the girl did nothing doesn't mean she did nothing! You enjoy getting outraged at people, i can tell.
If you are small, you should be extra careful to treat large powerful animals with respect. Something this girl's parents should have taught her. Her hit, while perhaps 'to get a fly' really didn't need to be so hard. I'd be pretty annoyed if someone hit me like that to get a fly on my back. Her push was directly onto the horse's neck which as we all know is a very sensitive area for all living animals because it houses the throat and the brain's blood supply, and it genuinely looked to me like the horse was reacting to that aggression towards its own throat.
You got indignant and over compensated with your prissy little outburst reaction, and that's just as foolish as cheering when you may not know the full story. You're right. Life is not a sporting event. And when a human considers itself so aloof to the situation of the animals which they tame, when a human underestimates and mistreats the animal, the animal is going to react, and you have no right to complain - because life's not a sporting event, you fucked up and ate the consequences. Our concerns outweigh theirs, but that's no reason to mistreat them.
Looks to me like just desserts for the little girl.
