I love Solitaire.

I'm actually rubbish at it.
But it has a bunch of other types of solitaire style games.
I tend to play Pyramid Solitaire.
The game has a whole bunch of different game types, and completing them fully or doing certain things in them won you points.
And with points you would slowly level up your cafe, basically doing little more than increasing it in size (It was only an image, you didn't go walking around it or anything) and it would also unlock new clothing for your avatar (Who similarly did no walking and only ever sat down in a chair).
I eventually, over 4 months of light play, got all the clothes and got the largest cafe.
Stopped playing it then.
And now I've lost the phone. :c

That's why I don't want a 3D phone.  When would I really need it?  It's a nice luxury but it's just not necessary for me.


Does it drain the battery life at all though?

It would be a bit rubbish if it came with a battery that couldn't accomodate it's 3D needs.

But I would bet that after a year or two, when the battery starts to stop holding it's charge as well, it'll probably drain quite quickly.

As long you don't take 3D pictures all the time, only if you set the camera on 2D only. My phone can stay alive for 6-10 hours (depending if you use it a lot or not).

How do you define using it not a lot.
My phone can survive 3-4 days of college at full charge. But I don't use the camera and I rarely text and barely never phone call.
I honestly just seem to use it for telling the time or occasionally playing low-quality Need for Speed and Solitaire.

WHYYYYY

WHY DO YOU NEED A 3D PHONE

Because he needs all the extra dimensions he can get!

Although, how often does the 3D aspect actually come into play when you use it?

they seriously forgeted it up with the crossovers. they should have gone with the "this is added story that wasn't in the game" type of deal, not "well. they are clueless, bill is dead, but we have all these other loving characters so here, jizz." i'm not a valve elietist, i'm not a pc gamer, i have an xbox and i use it more than i do the computer. the thing is, those other characters have absolutely no reason to be with them, neither does it do it in a humorous fashion. if it was funny then it would work, but they played it off too seriously. if anything it should take a more red vs. blueish approach and just make the whole thing silly.

I don't think they were playing it off as serious as you make it sounds.
It seems to me more like it was just an excuse to be a little bit silly, include some well-known videogame characters and make it look really action-ey.

I actually laughed when Master Chief saved Louis.
And I did again when Fenix and Anya came in.

It just seemed to me like an excuse to put in a bunch of action-style characters into a warzone from different games. Which I enjoyed. I would have enjoyed the RvB style to it, but I quite liked the serious undertone to begin with being met by the not-so-serious inclusion of action-characters.

A sony ericsson something or other. I'm no good with phone names and types.

I also recently lost it somewhere in my house and it's out of battery. :c

It's a good thing I never use it for anything bar checking the time.

There's still no way in hell that wrestling is more intensive then rugby, no matter what you think. Just look at the cardio aspect alone.

plus they don't look like queers

Very true.
The training put into Rugby is very intensive. More so than American Football and I would daresay more so than wrestling.
The only sport I can think of that tends to ask for more training, albeit slghtly different type of training, is Athletics.

And also, I would be more scared of a rugby player than a wrestler.
I've got friends who play rugby at near-professional levels and plan to play professional.
They would literally crush me if they were to even think about having a fight with me.

Dunno


They dont? :D
-Bundle Snip-
-Haka Snip-

Kind of unfair to choose the image showing the one time that everyone jumps on each other.
I would also say that is less gay than the grabbing and twisting involved in the 1-on-1 sport of Wrestling.

And the Haka is a New Zealand war dance. It's not really a traditional aspect of Rugby. It was only introduced by the Kiwi's.

blockland is like runescape, it's "free."

you can play it for free, but the free part is stuffty, so you buy the extra features.

True in essence, but I'd say runescape offers much more for it's free version compared to Blockland.

Blockland offers you a taster of the full game.
Here, try this limited number of blocks, no multiplayer and little use for any add-ons.

Whereas Runescape still offers you a large amount to do, large quantity of items, and multiplayer too.

The best difference is simply Blockland having a 1-time payment for the rest of the game, compared to Runescapes continuous payment for "extras".

You changed from the most, to one of

Rugby would be more intensive, that's all i'm saying.

At a professional level, Rugby is a lot more intensive when it comes down to it.
And a lot more brutal, too.

You have a referee in Wrestling to ensure you don't hurt each other too badly or like mash each other in the face.

In Rugby, the referee can't see inside the scrum and then there's the whole tackling and face-bashing.

Most professional rugby players are dead ugly from broken noses, smashed teeth and twisted ears.

compare ANY of these videos muzzle flashs to the ones in OP's vid http://www.youtube.com/user/freddiew

cheif and scorpion looked very cheap

nobody knew what a witch was

chainsaw and the time it took to saw through a tounge

Chief was an actual manufactured Master Chief dress-up costume, I believe.
The muzzle flashing is not quite the most important aspect of the film and to myself, wasn't even something that I focussed upon. I would only notice the quality of it compared to other films if I went back and looked for it, due to you pointing it out.
Scorpion was likely another party-style costume. It, alongside Master Chief would look cheap, since they're both made in a factory to be produced at a cheap cost and delivered to lots of stores and people. I don't think this film was very high-budget, so they weren't likely to spend a lot of time and money on making their own perfect costumes for characters that are shown for about 3 minutes.

While the chainsaw thing is true, I do believe it was in a way, parodying the use of the chainsaws in GoW to get through obstacles, which for example, it takes a lot of time to put the chainsaw through some very thin skin-mesh inside a worm. If not that, then it's there for keeping that shot there for longer to entertain.
It's not like L4D is that realistic concerning the smoker tongues when all it takes is a light butting from a gun to get one off. If it took that little effort, then no one would ever be tangled by them.

Only the witch part do I find to be of significance, mainly since I myself thought it unusual that they wouldn't know a witch when they hear one, particularly considering Bill is already dead. When I saw the witch, I first thought "They've met witches before. The opening cinematic to L4D even shows Bill finding one."

Until men and women play sports together...almost all sports will be gay. Except golf...

Except Tennis, Badminton, Croquet, Boules, Bowling, Cricket, Rounders, Tag Rugby, Basketball, Racing, Athletics, Weight-Lifting, Boxing, Motor Sports, Aqua Sports and most other sports which don't include physically touching the opponent continuously or on places other than just the arms.

Such a queer looking sport.

I'd ask which definition of queer you're using, but I think both apply.

Mmm hot.
Well done!
I've never watched this sort of wrestling before, so I don't know if the images are showing me that you're good.
But, you won, so you must be!

I wouldn't say it would be that bad of an idea in theory, but it probably wouldn't work.

There'd be too many posts where it's one person talking about their quick-fire server, with little information and some spammy emotes. (Cum 2 my srvr u gt  )
And then there would be posts following it filled with Drama from players visiting that server, or getting annoyed at the OP.

I think it's better off with people posting their servers in Gallery and General Discussion, because they tend to have to have good quality information or pictures on there to keep those topics fresh on the forum.
Plus, we can already use the blockland.us server browser to view servers from outside of Blockland.

Although I do wish it had a search-function so that you could actually search for host-names.
Ctrl-F doesn't work for searching it.
