  1. Back in the day I used to play a lot a lot of Gran Turismo. Well, my favourite car was the Nissan Skyline R34 and I always used a version of that car I had race tuned in the game when I was playing. As a result my friends began to just call me skyline when we'd play because I was the one who was always in it The nickname stuck with me even when we all moved on from playing playstation and I've used it as my alias ever since (like 10 or 11ish years now). Fin.
  2. Lol oh man the old xbox vs ps horse corpse. Anyways the only correct answer to this whole thing is as you have said, which suits ones individual needs better. To that effect I'd say some of the pros and cons you've used are entirely irrelevant (for example which console does best in sales, this shouldnt really have any affect on your decision making process at all. It isnt you who sees the profits after all.) To start I'd like to say I own and use, both systems (We also own a Wii, but its for the siblings). Following that I'd say I prefer the Xbox. I find the GUI of the system itself to be far superior, as well as XBL. I have no interest in 90% of the core playstation titles anymore (such as final fantasy) and I download my movies in blu-ray/1080p on my computer, so I have no need for a blu-ray player. I have pretty big hands, and find the controller to be extremely uncomfortable when playing for any real length of time, which adds to my overall favoring of the xbox. I could write a novel on this subject, but I dont feel its really worth it lol. I personally feel xbox is better, based on my individual needs and tastes.
  3. Happy belated birthday steve! Hope it was great
  4. happy birthday manu!
  5. We have a couple. They're pretty sub-par though. Grand Beach would be the best, but thats only because of its sand. Doesn't really compare to the ocean or like the Caribbean, but its a large body of water, so meh.
  6. New pic from the beach the other day. It was nice then for the first time in like weeks. So much rain lately :<
  7. Yeah man, MSTRKRFT was pretty solid. JFK recently came back and played a show by himself, but I couldnt go as I had an exam the next day :<.LAZRtag is in a couple weeks, and then Steve aoki round 2 in september Also Hecq is super good. I'd recommend checking out his 0000 album. I was really into him when I was big into IDM/industrial.
  8. Pretty much I'm a city boy and always have been. The way it looks now, I always will be. I prefer a fine line between privacy/isolation, and connectivity/metropolitan living. I'll probably end up living in the suburbs, in some work of post modern architecture. Clean cut and streamlined concrete, steel, and glass. I love/live for that stuff haha. A few dashes of green and plant life thrown in here and there, and I'm set
  9. Hmm, there seems to be a pretty strong reaction to this thread coming in from all sides. I figured I'd just throw my bit in there Pretty much, I'll be the first to admit that I stereotype. I'll look at someone and be the first to decide if I think they're gay, straight, this, that or the other. However, I dont no let these stereotypes (to the best of my ability) interfere with how I interact with, and treat people. I cant remember wherefrom, but I remember hearing/learning (depending on what you believe ) that stereotypes are another form of vestigial structures so to speak. Basically, at one point, stereotypes were likely a form of survival mechanism. If your tribe was not friends with x tribe, and they looked like y, it would be good for your health to avoid running into more y-looking people then you could safely fight on your own. Obviously, this social dynamic/mechanic isn't especially useful these days, as you usually dont have to worry about fighting everyone simply on the basis they wear prada Anyways, my point is, its pretty much useless to try and fight the "stereotype" gene, and it is much better to focus on the next step of the equation; making the conscious effort to say to yourself, "Despite the fact I heard gays are terrible with machines, I'm going to ask my friend whom happens to be gay for help fixing my car." People are so fixated on the stereotypes themselves, which are much more difficult to deal with. It seems to me that everyone accepting that we stereotype is a much better goal, followed by working towards combating the urge to act based on the (often false) ideas surrounding stereotypes and what they mean about the people they're attatched to. To answer the questions raised by the OP, I can see what you mean about it being aggravating how many traits and skills one might have, are often traced back to a totally irrelevant quality you have, namely, being gay. I have more to say on this issue, but must go for now! I shall edit later
  10. Yeah, I kinda felt similarly about the trailer. I liked it, but didnt like it at the same time. It isnt true to the Mortal Kombat canon in many ways (Which is a fairly decent storyline/universe if I do say so myself haha) and it often times felt like it was taking itself too seriously. I mean you can rip peoples heads off in the games Theres a bit of sillyness in all that. We shall see though I suppose. In regards to the game, I havent enjoyed a mortal kombat since UMK3, and that was pretty much my game of choice in my youth (the MK franchise that is). I dont really hold any high expectations for this one
  11. I wish I could grow real facial hair One day! Nice pic man
  12. Yup, thats generally how I feel. Just like kindergarten, keep your hands and feet to yourselves. Regardless of if you've got a bucket or a hose.
  13. The valedictorian of my graduating class quoted a bunch of that story. Its fairly common in graduation speeches I think

    iPad

    ^ This. With an enthusiast grade desktop, laptop for school, and an ipod touch, I really have zero use for the ipad. Is it cool? Absolutely, I love my touch. Is it worth my money? Absolutely not. Also the fact it lacks alot of basic things like usb ports is a huge turn off for me. At 600$ I expect a bit more then an oversized ipod touch. Just my thoughts though
  15. Well I dont know about everyone else, but personally a change from all the terrible news is nice. This site Gives me hope. Hopefully it does for you guys too
  16. Blue, purple and shades/hues of the two. For blue Copenhagen Blue is my favourite. For purple really saturated , medium brightness shades are my favourite. Also everyone posting their favourite colours, IN their favourite colours reminds me of the thing you do, where your supposed to say what colours each word is written in, not what the word itself is. Its harder than it seems For example, say out loud, what colours the following words are written (typed in) Green Yellow Purple Blue Brown Silver How'd it go?
  17. Happy birthday man!
  18. While it doesnt really mean anything to me because I never liked slipknot, its always unfortunate when the world loses someone of real talent, musical or otherwise. Thats not to say that it isnt unfortunate when the world loses someone of general abilities either, but you know what I mean. Hopefully his family/close friends etc are doing okay.
  19. *Karate Chops*
  20. Werd. Also to agree with Cia, people who touch me when I dont want it are gonna get karate chopped. Dont ever touch my face :| Unless we're smexing
  21. No not really. I find most people have learned that it isnt a bad idea to have some sort of plan to things, to make sure it goes smoothly. Either that or I take charge and plan it myself. Not a big deal overall. You know it is possible to be both laid back and organized lol. Just because people like that annoy me doesnt mean I have a high tolerance for it I could care less what someone does with their own life. Its only when other peoples laziness or refusal to plan out some event or occurance interferes with my life that I have a problem with it. Besides that it means nothing to me if you wanna go be a freespirited hippy in the woods lol.
  22. Happy birthday perv!
  23. What are yours? Or what is a surefire way to annoy you? Recent events in my life have led me to post this thread just out of curiosity 1. People who complain about something, while making zero effort to change it. 2. People who break my trust, or abuse my kindness. 3. When people pretend to be my friend, when they actually dislike me. Whats the point? just tell me you dont like me, and we can stop being "friends". Works for me lol 4. People who are too "free spirited". I'm kind of a scheduling hardass. I like to have a good portion of events planned in advance. People who would rather "go with the flow" make me pull my hair out. 5. People acting stupid on purpose (for reasons beyond being funny or something) Besides that I'm pretty laid back and easy to get along with. What about you? Gogogo!
  24. I wouldnt take it seriously at first, but wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that this person is like that. Some people are very specific in what they're looking for, and the traditional dating scene being full of mindgames and guessing probably doesnt appeal to this individual. Anyways I'd say just step tentatively until you figure out what the situation is, ie, if there are ulterior motives or not.
