Someone printed the lower reciever of an M-16 with his 3D printer. That's the only part of the gun that you need a licence for in the US, the rest of the parts can be bought without a licence by anyone. Scary stuff. Watch the Vice documentary here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DconsfGsXyA

the headphones I have are the best headphones i've ever had

Those headphones are amazing. Slap a modmic on there and you have an awesome headset. But it's probably out of his price range.

The sennheiser 320 looks really good. green is my favourite colour, too. So this works for both X360 and PC? Cause I needed a new 360 headset...

Compatibility: This gaming headset is compatible with the Xbox 360, the S, Core, Pro, Elite and Arcade editions.
Connectors:   2.5mm to Xbox Controller   2.5mm to Xbox Controller, 2 x RCA To TV
So the question is; do ordinary xbox headsets connect to a pc? (I don't have an xbox, so I don't know)

This is the X-version. Apparently there's a S-version as well... Idk what the difference is.

/serious answer

Have you had these problems before? Maybe your skin is quite sensitive. Try using a special cream for sensitive skin. It also helps if you apply skin moisturizer after shaving. I have a nice little cream by Proraso, but I'm sure you can pick up something cheaper in your local drugstore. And stay away from anything that is contains perfume and/or alcohol. Like one of those smelly aftershaves. Smells "good", but irritates your skin like hell.

If all that doesn't help, maybe try switching your shaving method. I tried several electrical shavers when I began, but found out very quickly that those didn't work for me. I would look like I'd been fighting with a rabiate cat afterwards. Then I went on to wetshaving, but the results still werent the best. A year ago I switched to traditional double edge shaving. DE-shaving is generally much more gentle to your skin, because you only have one blade that actually cuts the hair instead of ripping them out like most 5-bladed razors. Plus DE-shaving is like 20 times cheaper than ordinary Gillette shaving.

I dunno, I'd only really like to spend about £40-50 as I don't really need a #1 top-tech HD surround sound with cup holder.

You won't get anywhere close to top-tech HD surround sound for that price. But a Siberia V2 is within your budget, read some reviews for it:  (can very often be found for around £50, it goes on sale quite often. But £60 is probably still a good buy)

Sennheiser 320: (70% off :O)

These Plantronics also get very good reviews, and they have 7.1 surround sound. £40, after a 50% discount!

You should give us a price range. Cheap for Bill Gates is not the same as cheap for me, if you know what I mean.

Anyways, check out the Corsair Vengeance series. Both the 1500 and the 2000 seem to be good headsets. Then you of course have Sennheiser with stuff like their 3X0-series (320,340,350 and 360). A little bit more pricy, but the sound quality is top notch. I've also heard people say good things about the Siberia V2 or some of the TurtleBeach's (then again, a lot of audiophiles have said a lot of negative things about the last two)

I never experienced Diggy's CRPG. I don't really like these kind of servers, seeing that they require me to get a "job" to earn money and being able to build. But I know a lot of people liked it, so why not?

Pick Norway. Because Fish, rocks, potatoes, lunch packet, and skiing as a method of transportation.

What's so special about our rocks and potatoes? Lol. I'd rather go to Ireland to see potatoes.
Also, our "matpakke" is a norwegian thing. I don't think foreigners appreciate it as much as we do. They just think we're weird :P

I think i quite like Denmark out of the Scandinavian countries. But from your three options, I think I'd like Norway the most. However, Sweden would be preferable since I would like to see the Aurora borealis.

I thibk really for me a cruise of Scandinavia would be best.

We also have the Aurora Borealis in Norway. I can actually see it from my bedroom a couple of days every winter. It's pretty cool. The auroral zone is typically 10° to 20° from the magnetic pole defined by the axis of the Earth's magnetic dipole, so you can see it in all of the countries listed in the OP.

Cruise to Denmark is quite useless, since they have nothing to see along the coast. I don't know if cruises are that popular in Sweden and Finland, either. It's really big business in Norway though.

My dad says he won't quit because he claims it's his only vice and says he likes it.
Maybe another part of addiction is just not giving a stuff?

The first step to overcoming an addiction is realizing that you actually are addicted.

OT: I've never smoked, never will. Well, except for shisha, which I kinda liked. But that isn't the same as ordinary cigarettes. Shishas contain less of the bad stuff, but I know they're not good for your health.
I respect people who smoke, but at the same time I secretly think they're weak-minded.

Biased answer, but here it goes: Norway is the most beautiful country of the three. It has some really nice mountains and breathtaking fjords. There are also glaciers and stuff here, and wild moose walk in the cities. Architecture is really rural and cozy. Also, we're one of the richest countries in the world, and we have a very low crime rate.

But Finland is a cool place as well. They have saunas and lots of lakes. Nature is not as beautiful as Norway though, except for aforementioned lakes. They also have (together with Norway and Sweden) the highest amount of metal bands in the world.

Denmark is really small and very flat, but great for biking. Not as "exotic" as the rest of Scandinavia, architecture and culture reminds of Northern Germany. The Danish are a fun bunch of people though, and they invented LEGO.

Sweden is quite boring, imo. They are more "civilized" than Norway and Finland.

This game is loving amazing. I just discovered it on Steam, and it is addictive as hell. Nothing is more satisfying than safely landing your plane after the engines stopped working, both wings are full of holes and the ailerons are missing.
