Well I would take a picture but I have no batteries for my camera.

This is the biohazard tattoo I got:



Costed a €100.

Well have college tomorrow after having a nice four day weekend after the snow. Looks like this is going to be a tough week, though next week looks fecking horrific with a load of assignments falling due, including my group project that I've been doing the lion's share of...
But at least tomorrow night is looking like it'll be good though, was able to pick up two tickets for Arcade Fire for €60 a few days ago, so looking forward to that

[SilentHunter]

I can't believe I got Audiosurf for virtual items in TF2 (2 Refined if your wondering)

[SilentHunter]

Shit. 4c increase on petrol.

[kevinkav]

My toes are numb.

I have been inactive for aaaaages,for a number of reasons. Firstly,I've moved out of my parents house. Thank fuck. I'm living with friends in Wexford town,enjoying my renewed independence. What was intended to be a short stop back at my folks turned into a year and a half of dependence :-(. Glad I'm out again.

Secondly,the weather has been shit. No internet in the new place,so wiffy time is short.

I've been up all night researching North Korea for this project I need done. I've roughly half of it done (generous assesment). My time off in the snow was certainly not used wisely. Unless you count drinking and smoking copious amounts as wise,that is

[Yggdrasill]

Doing a lot of group projects lately, which I have been doing nearly all the work in.

[VampiricPadraig]

Ehhh. I have been busy battling college and parents....

I might be dropping out of college

[TheLaw]

I might be dropping out of college

Because the the jobs market is massive??
Because the country is in such a great state???

The grass is always greener on the other side, dont let that fool you.
Stay in college its the only safe haven for now.
Jaysus, if you cant see that, then it must be alot different looking out than looking in.

[crow-feet]

laying down the law. nice

got dreamworlds in the post today. fantastic production book, also got the red giant plugins for after effects and a thing called antbar for firefox that lets me download any video source so ive been collecting things all morning. whoop whoop

[VampiricPadraig]

Networking is not what I wanted to do.

Last year our tutor said that we would do programming......WHERE IS THE FECKIN PROGRAMMING!?!?!??!?!?!

I stuck it out until now and I will be considering doing programming or something similar in Dundalk or Sligo...It might...blah...I don't even want to talk about it

[SilentHunter]

Did my major Christmas shopping today. I'll get a few more small gift Christmas eve.

[namesRhard]

It's only sort of hitting me that it's Christmas in a week or so lol. I won't really be doing the Christmas thing though, so it sort of makes sense.

Ahh, they were implementing a new mod to do with SEO shizz but due to performance problems, they are taking it down for a few days.

SEO?At least it wasn't anything wrong on my end

[VampiricPadraig]

Search Engine Optimization

Basically, how Google and Bing and others search the forums!

I will update when they have implemented there stuff.

Happy birthday Phlegms, hopefully you'll be recovering from a massive post-birthday hangover by the time you read this...
Had my last day of college before Xmas today, though I'll probably have to go in on Monday and maybe Tuesday to finish off a group project report. But off on a class pub crawl in a minute or two, so I can forget about that for now...

[crow-feet]

final day of college today before christmas. been a busy bee. got some mild training notes in maya and the ball and chain is staying here for the next few days so should be a relaxed time.

but most importantly, happy birthday phlegms!

[warrior00]

Although surprisingly I had a drink free birthday. Am saving myself for Saturday night when I shall be getting appropriately messy.

[Marvolo]

Getting wiffy nostalgia. Christmas reminds me of when I registered on this site and we were all excited about the Wii.

[crow-feet]

made a deep pan pizza from scratch last night and it was actually genuinely tastey. finished for christmas now and had a deadly week. gotta get the last of the presents tomorow then back to learning maya

also, found my ds this week. its been missing since may so happy days

[Yggdrasill]

Still need to get presents for peoples.

[namesRhard]

I have yet to buy present, and then I'm gonna have to send them. So people won't be getting them in time for Christmas.

[Yggdrasill]

Crazy steam sales going on right now.

[Quadnike]

Off tomorrow parent teacher meeting wednesday am fucked for that and pretty much failed most of my xmas exams kinda glad though becuase now im more determined to study when i get back to school. The misses is coming over next week to watch a movie or two and going to get her something thursday not too bad. Not that excited about xmas tbh just looking forward to the days off. Can remember this time last year perfectly,funny how fast time goes by

[SilentHunter]

Crazy steam sales going on right now.

I picked up a 3v voucher for it. Added only €35 (out of the €70) to my steam wallet for the moment.

[Yggdrasill]

I only bought super meat boy for myself and my brother so far.

I don't know if i want to get it on steam. It on the xbox for €10 (I know way more expensive) but I prefer using a controller then a keyboard for this type of game.

Tempted on the Deus ex collection because I have yet to play the second one and with the new one out next year this will give me the chance to play it. 2.5 hours to make a decision.

I'm using a 360 wired controller to play it on steam.

I just remembered that I have a wired Street fighter 4 fight pad that might work. If it does then I'll get it on steam.

EDIT: Just bought SMB and Deus Ex collection.

[warrior00]

All my exams done except computer engineering exam tomorrow! not 2 bad!

Done better than i thought in my C-Programming exam today. about 98% i would say.

[Marvolo]

In Amsterdam.. looks like I'll be stuck here for Christmas

[SilentHunter]

SMB is just awesome. On world 2 ATm.

Love the street fighter 2 and castlevania intros.

[MrMarioMan]

Not sure if anyone has heard of this, meant to mention it here a few days ago. Anyway, a site called www.humblebundle.com is doing a deal called the Humble Indie Bundle #2 where you can get 5 indie games for PC/Mac for any price you choose to pay. You can also choose to have a portion (or all) of the money go to the charity Child's Play. There are sliders so you can choose what percentage goes to the developers/charity/the website. It's also redeemable on Steam. But if you pay more than the current average price of $7:40 (about €5:60), you also get the previous humble indie bundle #1 (only some of these games are redeemable on Steam, and they currently have a limited number of Steam keys for this pack).

Here's a list of games in the two bundles, some gems in there:

Humble Bundle #2
Braid
Cortex Command
Machinarium
Osmos
Revenge of the Titans

Humble Bundle #1
World of Goo
Aquaria
Gish
Lugaru HD
Penumbra
Samorost 2

Got the second bundle and was given the first a few hours ago because I spent more than the average. Also picked up Battlefield: BC2 and The Witcher on the Steam sale.

EDIT: Also have a look at this thread on Boards, tells you how to get a free copy of DEFCON: Everybody Dies
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056124963

[VampiricPadraig]

Eh....I donated $0.01 to Humble 2 and I got a email saying that I get Humble 1 for free. Grabbed the code for Steam and it worked

--

Anyone want to gift me CoD4 on Steam as a Xmas Present?? (I has no monies) (It's only €12.50)

[phlegms]

You're kind of a dick for donating 1 cent. Full offense intended.

[VampiricPadraig]

I'm sure I am not the only one who donated 1 cent.

[SilentHunter]

I agree with Phlegms. I gave €6 for bundle 2 and its for charity also.

[dooley]

You're kind of a dick for donating 1 cent. Full offense intended.

Could be worse.At least he donated something.Around 25% of the humble bundle downloads last year were illegal i.e thousands of people pirated something they could buy for 1 cent.Now that's douchebaggery at it's finest

Picked up DKCR today.Last copy in xtravision.Good times ahead

[MrMarioMan]

Think there's been a fairly similar rate of piracy this year sadly. The site operators were tweeting about it last week asking people for reasons why they were pirating it. Apparently the Turkish had a reason (national firewall prevents them from visiting the site...)

[TheLaw]

National Firewall.

Feck that
