@Staff: What is up with some Taco Bells over here having Sporks, but some have a fork and spoon instead of Spork.

We dont have Taco Bell here so no idea.

@Admins: Whom would you say is the most hardcore gamer between the 3 of you?

Depends how you define 'hardcore' really. I play more games that would be seen to be competitive at the moment organise gaming nights in a local bar but Steve & Sharon have longer to game than I do (maybe a little less time with the little one now) and Steve usually buys more games than me and takes the time to max the achievements out on games.

Whereas I would usually play through a game once and then move to the next game. So guess it depends on your definition of a hardcore gamer. We are all pretty dedicated gamers as you can tell with our network of sites.

Today someone told me that England is the only country in Europe that drives on the left side of the road. Please confirm or deny.

I dont think that is true no.

So, admins. Why is the UK's coastguard so... unimpressive compared to the US Coast Guard? I already know the answer, I'm just asking to be an asshole. Please ignore me.

Also, any ideas why I'm an asshole?

Anyone else doing any fun Halloween events that invole terrifying small children-- and, since it's my library's haunted house, getting paid $10.50 an hour for doing so?

Our beaches are pretty boring and have no dangerous animals besides Jellyfish and rarely the odd shark.

Maybe its genetic.

Im wearing an outfit for Halloween, if it scares small children that will just be a bonus. :lol:

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

I'm sorry, are you going to FIND a baby in the alley/bathroom, or are you going to acquire a baby of your own there? I can't tell which seems more terrifying.

Also, I feel really sorry if [goes to check] Jessica and whatever-new-baby's-name-is ever read that. I really do. Poor little tykes.

I'd go with finding them, personally - can't say conception in an alleyway is appealing...

And my kids are already getting sorted for therapy - occasionally I tell Jessica she's adopted or I found her in a dumpster. And I tell Jake we don't know who his parents are and that Steve is gay and/or a raging paedophile. It passes the time...

@Admins: Whom would you say is the most hardcore gamer between the 3 of you?

Clearly me - forget your L4D, forget Gears, forget Operation Flashpoint - the true hardcore gamer is the one who can master romance Chewnicorns AND acquire twin wildcards. I rule.

Don't do Halloween - the most I get involved is ignoring the doorbell and putting up signs which effectively tell the little craps who come up my driveway to get lost.

How is the baby doing, Mr. and Mrs. Projectego?

Right now he's being a little git because he hates being put down. He'll scream himself to sleep eventually. Either that or he'll lose his voice. Win-win, in my book.

Other than the noise, he's doing fine.

O' dearest staff, ego of project!
How proud you stand, tall and erect!
How doth thou, become so tall?
Hearts conquered, and loveth'd by all?
I seek to know, the secret of thee!
So I can then kill you, and lov'd I shalt be!!!
With the power of thou, I shall become adept!
And for my poetic skills, shalt give me rep?

More because your Navy does a lot of our Coast Guard's jobs, or other governmental agencies, but yeah.

Also, hey, that works. I just had a great time cutting up my sister and throwing her innards at small children as she screamed in agony.

Awww, such an adorable child. I feel like I should remember his name. And warn you not to go the way my family did. Ended up with 4/6 J-names, completely by accident.

Ah... if you don't mind my asking, your aversion to Halloween isn't because you think it's Satanic or something, is it? I'd be really dissapointed if that were the reason.

My definition of a hardcore gamer is:

• Putting in at least 35+ hours on it
• Playing both Co-Op, Campaign, and Online for at least 30 hours each
• Getting 99.999999999999999% of the achievements.

But that's just me.........

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

You realize that only the 360/PS3 have a console achievement system, right? So PC gamers can't be hardcore?

And Mr. Drakan, if you could punch anyone on the forum in the face, who would you punch?

To Kyle, I'd punch Dark Drakan in the face just to see what would happen.

I hate people who associate Halloween with Satanism.

It's a f**king CELTIC holiday! Gawd!

Those are gonna be some EFFED UP children. Reminds me of my aunt's raising my cousins. They're afraid of their mother and love their dad, but he lost mostly in court so they barely ever see him.

I was thinking that about PC gamers. Although i do spend a lot of time gaming, talking about gaming and helping people with gaming problems i dont care that much about achievements. Just a number of points to me, i wont bother myself doing achievements that generally annoy me just for the kudos of doing it.

And Mr. Drakan, if you could punch anyone on the forum in the face, who would you punch?

I think they would have to pick a number and get in line, been quite a few in the past. However I dont need to I have the mighty Banhammer and it has no equal on these boards.

To Kyle, I'd punch Dark Drakan in the face just to see what would happen.

:lol:

I applaud that, however you arent staff =].

I don't think it's Satanic - although the non-LaVeyan Satanists are known to use the holiday as a special time for them, as are some covens of Black Witches, Halloween has strong roots in both Celtic and Christian heritage. I just don't like the occult aspects which are connected to traditional festivals of the dead - divination, seances, Ouija Boards etc. It doesn't sit right with me or my beliefs.

Plus in this country kids see Halloween as an excuse to be little vandals, terrorise the elderly and vulnerable people and generally be abusive to people. It's worlds apart from how it is celebrated in America.

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

Ooh, toughie. First game that springs to mind is Duke Nukem 3D. I was stupidly into Duke 3D and went out of my way to collect all the add-ons. Duke it out in DC, Duke Winter and Duke in the Caribbean being among some of my favourite unofficial add-ons.

Re: Ask The Staff 'Anything'

Damnit! There are so many awesome new games out and on their way this month its almost not fair! I want to play them all!

But as they say...

There aint no rest for the wicked.
Money don't grow on trees.
I can't slow down, I can't hold back.
Although you know I wish I could.
There aint no rest for the wicked.
So is Borderlands any good?

Because it looks awesome. Ah, so many choices, so little cash...
