Off Topic / Exams start tomorrow all next week

« on: March 06, 2011, 03:28:37 PM »

As you may have seen my other topic about me heading to a better school, the tests begin tomorrow. There are two tests a day for 5 days. I am told that the teachers write a report also which will help me get in as I am hardworking and my grades are usually high. There are only 54 places (someone had to go to hospital beforehand so is automatically in) and 130 students. I am 18th out of them all last I checked. I may have went up or down. Not sure.

Tomorrow my tests are geography and Irish. I am rather confident for them all apart from Irish. I'm sure I will get in though :D

Games / iPhone app gifting megathread

« on: February 26, 2011, 05:51:50 PM »

I just noticed you can gift paid apps via App Store so I thought I would make a megathread about it since I remember someone doing it as well about Steam

How to gift
Simply find the app you want to gift and scroll down to "Gift This App" which is below the ratings page. Simply fill in the information (If someone does this, PM me what it asks specifically. I have to credit to find out) and even add a message and send it.

These instructions are for the app store on the iPhone, not the iTunes store on the computer

I want a gift!
Simply fill in this form and I will add you to OP

Name   E-mail   Requested app   App gifting price range (e.g $1.50)

For example;

Bob   Bob@Bob.Bob   Tiny Wings   99 cents

List

Name                    E-mail                           App              Max price range

Muzzles56   Muzzles56@hotmail.co.uk   Fruit Ninja   $0.00 (No credit left)

Gift away!

Off Topic / Link to adobe flash 9 please

« on: February 14, 2011, 07:13:42 PM »

As you may know, adobe has completely removed adobe flash player 9. You may think, "Just download 10" but my computer my brother gave me is a very old piece of stuff and cannot run it. Can someone please provide a link to the program? The archives and the only ones I can find are for developers and I cannot use it. Thanks

Idea: If someone has it, can they upload the download to mediafire or something? That would be be better

Excuse spelling mistakes, auto correct is off for some reason

Off Topic / Muzzles may be going to better school

« on: February 01, 2011, 04:48:43 PM »

Basically where I live, you go to Middle school after 7 years in Primary or "Elementary" and after 3 years in middle school, you have to do a transfer exam to go to a higher grammar school. It's a big thing. Apparently, the principal takes around, 40 of us and there is 109 students in our year group. He takes the top 30, obviously. Today my class was given the rank order list and I am 18th in the whole year :D Things are looking great for me so far. I hope I pass these exams

Off Topic / Format to factory settings for windows xp?

« on: January 18, 2011, 12:11:03 PM »

My brother gave me his old XP computer. I mean REALLY old. It's like, 5 years old or even more. Anyways, I have it set up but I cannot connect to the internet so my brother suggests formatting to factory settings to get rid of the set up and install it again cause its not working. That and it has unneeded files. My brother gives me the disc and when I put it in it doesnt do anything. No pop ups no notifications, anything. I run it from My Computer and nothing shows up. Its as if there are no files in it. I just need to put this back to factory settings. Anyone help. Thanks in advance

Off Topic / Pop Tarts

« on: January 15, 2011, 06:56:20 PM »

I just got these

for the first time ever and I must say, they are climaxic. They're the strawberry ones. I have been wanting these for years but now is the first time I have had them. Problem is, I wont be able to get them much as they are expensive just for 4 packs. I love American treats now. I'm looking to get chocolate next.
What is your favourite pop tart?

Off Topic / American candy mahn!

« on: January 06, 2011, 12:47:49 PM »

As you all know I live in Ireland. Well, my Aunt has a son who lives in America and has a family over there. Well, my aunt went to America and brought me back some "candy"
She brought:

"Fruity snacks" in both Cherry and mixed berry

A bunch of candy canes
A Reese's peanut butter tree

An Almondy Joy. I just found out I got 2 lol

(Looks a bit like our equivalent to a bounty
Whoppers. Lol 6 packets.

(Looks like our equivalent to malteasers
A hersey's santa

A Yonk snowflake? I think it is anyways. Cant find an image

STILL no goddamn candy corn. I've always wanted to try it. I'm starting to like American candy. Too bad I have no idea where to get half of this stuff.

So, since most of you are American, what is your favourite out of these and which should I try first? I havent tried any of these before

Off Topic / Facebook drama-"I GOT HAKD IM GON HAK U"

« on: December 14, 2010, 11:39:29 AM »

Basically this kid posted on is wall that e hacked someone then made like, 5 posts saying he got hacked. I commented "Good" and then this happened. I know this kid's brother as we are great friends and I told him the story. He also thinks he is a moron. I don't know why I blurred the photos, they show no personal information. His is just a grim reaper image with his name on it, but mine is just a life sized toy soldier. I suppose I don't want this kid to bitch to his parents if he sees this. He is known for being a handicap, but this is surprising.

Games / I am also trying to remember a game I played

« on: December 12, 2010, 09:14:41 AM »

I'm looking for some nostalgia.
This game was on the Play Station 1 and I played it, I think, 6 years ago. I only remember playing the first 2 levels. The first level was in a city and the second level, I think, was in a place with snow and stuff. I think the enemies wore yellow one piece clothing, like those black one piece robes the Muslims wear. I can't describe it very well as I cannot remember much since it was like, 6 years since I played it but I hope you get the gist of what I'm talking about

« on: December 08, 2010, 11:57:36 AM »

"dur hur anodur fred abot diz stuf"
No, seriously. I dont really have much of an idea on what to get this year.
The only things I can think of is Dead Rising 2, These and This
I was looking the windows phone but I doubt I'll get it. I was also looking an alienware laptop, but that is also a nono.
Ideas pls. I have looked through think geek and can't find too much stuff I'm interested in.

Off Topic / Roughly 5 inches of snow

« on: December 06, 2010, 12:10:32 PM »

"oh wow another one of those thredz"
"dur of topek r favrt blbog fgnadjghdjs"
For Ireland, this is pretty big. We never get snow at Christmas time and when we do, it's only very little. Today in school it snowed VERY heavily and when we went out for home, it was roughly 5 inches thick. A bus apparently got stuck out so the school might close tomorrow, but knowing my luck, it probably wont. Schools here wont close for a loving blizzard.
Me and a friend decided to ambush another friend but he was at his grandmother's house so we couldnt so I went home and now we are gathering people to have a huge snowball fight
Gon' be funz. I also made a snowball bigger than a head  'twas fun
I may get pictures later
