What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?

Thanks for the link, I will be heading along to the expo for sure.

well praise the lord, Live is back online.  and just in the nick of time too, i was just about to kick the stool from under my feet and end the suffering of not getting my nightly fix of getting the absolute s.h.i.t blown out of me.

i actually had to have a conversation with my wife tonight cause there was nothing better to do. man i so hope live doesn't go offline again.

well i guess it's too late to play now anyway, so i hope to see you guys round tomorrow night. please, please be online tomorrow night, i couldn't handle two nights in a row of proper adult, non gears related interaction.

Now one very unhappy and very stupid feelin fish

Live In The Moment Or You'll Never Be Free

Howdy all!

 

Yey it's hump day. Wow, I can tell it must be great playing online with you guys, from all the banter that's thrown around in this forum, everyone seems to be upgrading their speed to be in it. I too have asked for a speed increase, but the bl00dy thing won't kick in until the middle of next month, cheeky so & so's. I just hope my upload speed actually increases this time. I am suppose to have an upload speed of 128 but it only clocks in at about 38 to 45, is this normal? Is their something wrong with my phone line? It's a very old house with old wiring (post war). Perhaps my modem sucks hiney. Anyway, my ISP better watch it next month if it doesn't improve signifincantly, I will be forced to open Le-can-o-whoop@ss!!!

How do you check upload speed? I'd like to do that. I know how to check download speed on ZDnet but would be interested in knowing my upload speed, its suppose to be 256.

Yeah yeah stop laughing Mr ADSL2

Ah Mr Fish don't feel so down on yourself, very funny tho your speed upgrade happened while Live was down. I was happy because a was able to finish Prey and a night off from HILLMAN10 shotguning my a$$ all over the wall and threefish10 tagging me was a relief. Oh and I was able to watch the OC without thinking about my box ........yeah yeah whatever!!

I was stupid myself last night as after a couple of days off I needed a Gears fix then spent 1/2 an hour checking all my connections thinking my beautiful ADSL2 had ***-itself before finally checking the forums.

Luckily I had months worth of House, Supernatural, Prison Break and stuff to catch up on.

Definitly playing tonight......................4 days and no Gears makes Baygon go something something.......

A far superior product to Mortien

Having been forced to watch one episode of the OC i think if i was forced to watch another i would think about taking betty the shotgun and spending a less painfull half an hour blowing the back of my own head off.... Dont tell me you use to watch days of our lives, sunset beach & Dynasty

 

Well looks like im home alone again tonight so count me in for attempting to get above 3 kills in 2 hours and averaging a survival time above 22.3 seconds

I use these guys (Vonage)  http://www.vonage.com/help.php?article=497&category=46&nav=102

It should do it automatically after a few seconds.

Let us know how it goes!

 

I don't watch too much telly but if I ever make time to sit and watch that OC show, somebody please, Frag me!!!

Make sure you've got 'a gallon of chocolate milk and an adult diaper'.

Heard mention of Halo 2 a few times round the oldies thread. What's say someone with the cognitive capacity to lead and a thumping ADSL link (I nominate Baygon) to host a 16 player Halo "get together" for old times sakes? Wouldn't mind heading to Blood Gulch one more time...

Sounds like fun I've only tried the 8 player deathmatches which were fun but Saturday night (after the footy) which is about 8;30 western sounds like a good time if everyone is up for it.

I'll borrow another copy so me and broken will be playing.

Actually this is kinda exciting ............. what do  the rest of you old buggers think?

I guess i'd be up for it. Don't know how well i'd go playing halo 2 after playing non-stop gears for the past few months, plus i was never really that good at multiplayer halo. and i guess i'd have to download all the maps before then seeing as i haven't even played halo 2 since i got the 360.

but yeah i guess what i'm saying is you could probably count me in.


Edit: i guess a simple "Yeah, I'm in" would have done, but no, i gotta go and ramble on forever.

Guys, feel free to join me on Battlefield 2.  Look for "Just Serial NZ".  At 38 I just run around and get fit, as I am never quick enough to see who shoots me let alone fire a shot.  ANZACs unite.  Looking for mates to have a decent humourous laugh with via the headset while playing, as I am not up with the youth jargon.....

Best speed test I have found:

(sorry using firefox so links dont work...)

Baygon77 I see you have the homer simpson bottle opener as well!!!   CRAZY! Dont mind if I do ...


Oh yeah 500K up and 4M down ... Yippe!

2008 - not the best year! Bring on 2009 ...

*** I've never played HALO...1 or 2... does that make me a bad person?

Just a quick note to say I'll be missing out on our matches for a while peoples. My 360 officially crapped itself last night, with what MS has reported as being an overheated graphics chip. Apparently could take up to a month to fix, and isn't covered under the warranty. Not happy Jan. See you all around  in a month or so......

Cliffy my condoles on your lose.... when did I go up a community level? i thought talking random *** like i do would exclude me.

hmmmmm cd collection, should I count the ones in the boxes under the house or just the ones i keep on display? Displayed cd are around 200, under the house is about another 400. 600 cds at $25 each equals a sh!t load of money!

At the moment I'm really digging Snow Patrol, The Butterfly Effect, Incubus' newie, Matthew Good, Earshot and Nonpoint.

OK all time top 10..........in no particular order.

Metallica - Master Of Puppets

Metallica - Ride The Lightning

Metallica - ...And Justice For All

Radiohead - OK Computer

Megadeth - Rust In Piece

Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss

Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

OK those 9 are hard to put in order but there is no disputing Number 1

Slayer - Reign In Blood (I think Aza would agree with me on that one)

 

Got to ask Mr. Duck Miester Sir (we level 1 people now have to show our masters respect)... Rust in Peace???? Having seen Mustang on that tour in London that has to be the weakest Megadeath Album... Youthanasia got to be a better alrounder *** even Peace Sells is better than Rust In Peace although have had a copy of Cryptic Writings for 6 years now and still aint played it

Live In The Moment Or You'll Never Be Free

I posted this on another thread but thought it would make more sense here as a testiment to my old age...or stupidity

Well tuesday i thought I'd skip out on work early and drive 45 minutes out of my way to try pick up a copy of Crackdown early...

made it to the shoping centre carpark with 5mins to spare, as i go to get out i reach for my wallet...

not in it's usual spot..

maybe it's on the floor...

nope...how about stuck between the seat...nope agaiin

after wasting my 5 minutes I give up looking and admitt defeat... I the proceed to drive home in peak traffic...

as i walk in the door my wallet is there mocking me on the entrance table.
