I really enjoyed the game last night, it was the first time that I have played the game with anyone other then random people.

I've now sorted out my mic, so can use it next time, although if my wife is watching TV, I will be limited somewhat.

Was funny at the end as I had gone into the APC, then came back out onto the ramp to help and the tank thew a rock at me, which knocked me down.

I hope we can do it again soon.

I get caught out by the installation of Yahoo toolbar nearly everytime I update Java.

It's bloody annoying.

I'm now off to check my desktop for anything symantec.

I went to Reikwald to defend, and there were no destruction there at all.
I was only getting 6FPS inside the keep, even though there was no fighting. They really need to resolve this as the game is just not playable with so many people in one area.

Just bought one, will arrive at some point in the next week or so.
The 'see who's talking on TS/Ventrilo' was the sell.

I don't know if it works correctly though, because when I used it, the only name it ever displayed was "Beosvir"

I had a very quick single player go of the demo when it was released, but haven't gone back to it. But it looked very nice even on my outdated PC.

I think that due to my age and the amount of alcohol I have consumed over those years, I have lost the edge that you need to play such fast paced games.

I used to play Quake when it was first released and managed to play for a clan in div 1 for a couple of years against some of the top clans. For me that game was the best FPS ever

I've had one for I would guess 2 or more year, so it doesn't look as shiny as the one in your link.

To be honest the only benefit it of it currently is the LCD display showing the time and weather, or the one time I use TS, it displayed who was talking.

I'm going to start a KOTBS tonight, but I expect that by then someone in the guild will already be past level 10 

Should be fun doing the scenarios with 10 KOTBS v 10 Black Guards in each one.

I'll be there with my lev 23 RP, as I have had permission from SWMBO 

Will I need to be on TS?  I've never used it before, and need to set it up correctly before we play.

From what I understand, the magnets are cooled down to 4 Kelvin, and it takes about a month to warm them up, before fixing them and then a month or so to cool it again.

The reason it is cancelled for longer is that due to the amount of electricity the LHC uses they have a choice of powering either it or the city of Geneva during the winter!!

I've looked through photo's of myself, and I have a beer in my hand in at least 50% of them.
As I wouldn't want to disappoint anyone so here is one taken at a Beer Festival in 2006.

The Life of Brian (1979)

Pulp Fiction (1994)
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Trainspotting (1996)

Lots of others come close, but they are my top 5.
