Obi Chris Kenobi

Was just about to come on here and tell you all that Eurogamer have 20k Beta keys for COD5, but they're all gone now. I'll post up what the game is like once the misses is finishing watching the bloody X-Factor...

This is nothing but a season of learning and hurting for myself, but I'm getting there (hopefully). I THINK I know the teams I shouldn't pick at least in terms of they'll never win and if they play each other it'll be a draw... THURSDAY BYU at TCU SATURDAY Georgia Tech at Clemson Purdue at Northwestern Wisconsin at Iowa Wake Forest at Maryland Vanderbilt at Georgia Ohio State at Michigan State Kansas at Oklahoma Pittsburgh at Navy Stanford at UCLA Kansas State at Colorado Missouri at Texas LSU at South Carolina Virginia Tech at Boston College Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the Missouri/Texas game? 48 Tiebreak #2: How many rushing yards will Michigan State's Javon Ringer have against Ohio State? 101

Obi Chris will honor his contract till the end of next season, and then he'll look on from there as to what to do. You never know, we may turn it around next season (when we're in the lower leagues)

? Not glamour glamour, but I think it gets a little too romanticized sometimes, relative to other disorders. Take hypochondriasis. No glory in thinking you're sick all the time; that just makes you weak. But if you look in the wrong places, you find too much of that tortured genius bullshit about how Ernest Hemingway, Syd Barrett, Thomas Jefferson (seems like this dude has been retroactively diagnosed with everything), and at least three Renaissance painters all suffered from bipolar disorder and led fiery creative lives fueled by dueling forces of excitement and despair. (It's along the same lines of glorifying alcoholism.) I was in this position once when I was younger: when you're creative and your life sucks, to identify as bipolar looks pret-ty appealing. You're in good company, after all. Sure, the road to bipolar glory is filled with miserable fuckups who destroy the lives of their friends and family and are left pacing in circles to ward off the tardive dyskinesia that their heavy dosages of psychoactive drugs give them, but no, not you, you're gonna be one of the Good Ones. Maybe it's just me, but it seemed like you were almost bragging about your various percentages. That last part about the pacing is why you, Matt, should really avoid trying to go for "75% symptomatic" or "95% agreement" when you're under the scrutiny of a professional who is about to prescribe you drugs that will irreparably fuck up your brain, and if you're even 5% like me, that scares the living shit out of you. Talk about a star-studded Who's Who: suicides and school-shooters are all on mind-scrambling pharmaceuticals. Maybe this is a topic within itself, but I have to agree with this last bit. The drugs they give you really do ultimately fuck you up even more. Your whole body becomes reliant on them, so when you do eventually come to ween yourself off them, it makes you feel worse then you did before you started. A few years ago there was a drug called seroxate that was all the rage to give to young Teenagers for depression. It was later found out to heighten depression and increase the urge to self harm and other crap like that. It was later banned from being subscribed to anyone under 21 years old - this was found out after someone I knew had been taken it for 5 years, since 16, and totally messed them up. Sorry for going off topic, but if you have decided to go talk to someone about whats going on in your brain, then I'd suggest you really think hard about agreeing to taking any drugs they offer. Obviously the price the US has on perscriptions is different to over here in the UK, so I'm sure that will be a factor. Do research before you swallow.

Release Date: October Formats: PC, PS3, 360 Website: I'm looking forward to this as well, though I have read that people say the AI is terrible by today's standards over all. Trailer from the Japan Conference - hence the December release date. Gameplay Video

Not sure what gym you go to, but the one I go to people couldn't care less if I'm running on the treadmills, sweating like a hog on the bike/rowing machines, or lifting weights. No one comes over and asks if I need a hand, but if I asked for some help they're more then helpful.

Nah, I know what you mean, like everyone else has said, this has been a known Sony problem for nearly 15 years, you'd think they'd have fixed this shit by now.

That's the only thing that keeps me going to the gym to be honest. The fact they'll take £30 a month from me if I go once, 100 times or not at all - the bastards. I guess I had some sort of depression a few years ago. Not the crazy shit where you cut yourself up, just general lack of energy, lethargy and being anti-social without realizing it - similar to yourself I guess. Come to think of it, when I started to go to the gym things improved. Might be worth looking into, especially if you are/were already fit. Your muscle memory might kick in.

Strange thing is, I didn't even know its was Jingus' birthday till I clicked the link in his sig to his board and saw it there XD Have a good 'un, Jingus!

In all honesty, you sound totally depressed and probably should see someone. I'm sure there's people who've read the post and felt the same way. Its hard to get out of the 'rut', but you've got to try.

More like a self-proclaimed elitist group of self-righteous, arrogant, immature, circle-jerking punks trying to make themselves feel powerful and in control. Well, personally, I find it utterly pathetic, and I'm glad I'm not the only one. The only reason I'm even posting here again is to let you all know that I'm on to your "I have no life, so I'll just play tough and smart 'cause I'm online, and no one can hurt me" bullshit. @ Lt. Jon Kavanaugh - If I were to go to Calgary, I'd waste you dude, so watch what you wish for, you just might get it. You have no idea... Now, I'm all done here, so feel free to continue wasting your time insulting someone that has no time to waste on useless pieces of shit like you. If you're not a useless piece of shit (and you all know who you are), I'll talk to you later... Careful, Lt. John, this'll be where Noah brings out his cryptic memoirs of sharing an inflatable banana on the beach with an Ex-Green Beret, who showed him Kung Fu. Or that time that he started his own underground team for hire, when he was on the run from the military for a crime he didn't commit. Of course, he can't tell you exactly which team it was, but he'll give us just less then enough information to turn it into some sort of Online Guess Who (RPG) game.

Plus they send you on holiday to foreign places, as long as you kill some locals while you're there!

I was thinking the other day, while watching old Nitros - 'What happened to Jim Powers'.

Think I'll go over to gamefaqs and watch the sony lovers defend their 'faulty' PS3s.

How many picks are left, this seems to have been going on forever lol

Hmm, there's been a steady flow of PS3 problems lately, this is just over a year on from when it was released - pretty similar to 360 and its RROD. You'd think Sony would have learned by now with the PS2 disk tray problem to make sure their dvd/BR players are going to last the long haul.

Hey, Matt, sorry for the delay, fella! Been moving house, everythings set up now, so I'll get on teaching you the game. Think Fifa is out in the US this week or next? I'll find some youtube vids to help explain the sport, not sure if I should post them in here or in Sports, or maybe X-Post them.

d'oh missed my pick, sorry, didn't get a PM was probably not at work anyway to check. My next pick would have been McGregor, never mind, I choose: Orlando Bloom!

I'd like my team back please, sorry for the absence, was moving house!

So, its a week until Halo3 is out, and I tried to find a topic about it and there was nothing - so here's one. Already stores in the UK, and Norway, have started to sell Halo3 early. I'm not sure how it is over in the States, but I know of at least one guy who's got a copy, as he's been bugging me on Xbox live to check his games played and there it is - bastard. Still, I can't wait for this game and to try out to the 4player Campaign Co-Op mode. The envy of my fat friend 'Pugg' - though I get the impression the guy works at Argos since his reciept is signed like a staff purchase.

REPICK I'm surprised she's still on the board. One of the 1st women to get $1m for a movie... Sigorny Weaver!

I Chooooooose>>>>>>Bob Hoskins Internet back this Friday, thanks for filling in for me, guy! (I'm not your guy, buddy)

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 360, PS3 Release Date: 19th September Played the demo this morning, its only about 15 minutes long or so, but gives a good insight to how the game will work. I had fun with it and will probably get the game when it comes out. The combo moves are pretty cool and hopefully there's a lot to keep you going so you won't get bored of the same animations over and over again. I didn't see any of the moves in the below move when I was playing.

I'll be moving house tomorrow so if EMHE can post my picks please, he should still have my list, cheers!
