As eating is hard I have been mostly living on fruit. I was going to eat a white/red grape conbination I got from Sainsburys as my lunch but halfway through the white I now feel full already. I saved the red as they were my favourite so hopefully I am able to eat them this afternoon otherwise I shall be disappointed. I also have 5 tablets to take as part of my lunch and the grapes were going to help as I hate taking pills. I can only do 1 at a time and I usually gag with each one. If I eat something after each one that helps. I still have my antibiotic to go so I am going to have force more water and grapes into my already full stomach
Hey Everyone, I just saw some posts in the PVC Business section regarding the site and also a few posts a while back seemed to think that the place was going to be closing; I dunno if it was because my absence was so greatly obvious or not Anyway, I said a few months ago, I would end up a lot busier than usual with both work commitments (close to deadline) and the fact that my dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Well, work is finished and my dad died this morning. Weirdly, I'm not as freaked out about it as I think I should be but to be honest I guess I'm kinda just glad that the whole nightmare is over..it's been pretty rank round these parts for a while and I'm actually seeing a solicitor about launching a medical negligence claim on his behalf..it transpires that the cancer itself didn't kill him but an accidental overdose of a specific kind of Chemotherapy drug which effectively destroyed his gut...not nice. I've got a funeral to organise but I should be free now to post more shite here and to get some work done on a new main site for PvC - I'm going to set cmdrmonkey up with top level admin prvs for the server so he can change things too and I can crack on with getting the website stuff implemented. Anyway, I'm going to start putting things in place for improving stuff around here and make some steps towards getting a main site up and running to hopefully bring new visitors in.
I lived with grandparents when I was younger, and my grandfather slowly died of emphysema over 7 grueling years. It's tough to go through. My condolences.
Sorry to hear it Ichi, don't feel bad about not feeling as bad as you might think you should... just don't be surprised if you just break down crying one day. Total condolences on your loss man.
@Ichi Sorry for your loss. I lost my stepfather to multiple myeloma a few years ago, so I have some idea what you've gone through. Sorry this is a few days late. I didn't see your post until now. I can hold down the fort until you're ready to come back.
Does anyone want to buy Tekken 6 from me? Only minimal damage: My god that game is so shit, that's only the second time I've ever done that, the first being: Some games are just too shit to not snap in to pieces.
You could have gotten £9 for that in CEX, £12 if you traded it in. http://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=3296580800049
That's what stopped me from destroying it ages ago out of rage/disgust. I thought I could always sell it but last night I had enough. Notice how the Xbox disc snapped into three bits but the PS3 disc totally shattered.
You must be in training to snap more dogs in half. Why'd you smash Tekken? I've got that and it never annoyed me that much.
Because it's not Tekken. I've been a long time fan of the franchise. I used to absolutely love it. It was great until Tekken 5 came out. They changed the gameplay way too much, and they only made it worse with Tekken 6. It's all about juggling people now. In the old days you could knock someone into the air and get a couple of hits on them then continue fighting, now if you get knocked off your feet you might as well put the controller down because they'll keep hitting you, bouncing you off the floor for more hits and there's nothing you can do. You can't reverse it, you can't counter it, you just sit there watching your character getting pummeled helplessly. That is not Tekken. I always said Tekken was easily the king of fighting games, now it's just plain 100% total and utter shit and I hate it with a passion. That's why I destroyed it.
my question is since when has juggling become a part of tournament fighting? In what part of Karate Kid do they juggle? In fact the refs would call them off in boxing it's the same. You don't get the chance to juggle in real life. Sure games like Tekken aren't real simulations like UFC or Fight Night but... at least the rules can be similar. My argument on that is based just because *I* don't find it a clean tactic really. I like to play my games as clean as possible. I don't hit players when their down (other than finishing moves), or when they're up in the air (unless it's unavoidable or in self defense). Sure I lose a bit more often lol...
I've got no issues with being hit while I'm down, it's not being able to defend or retaliate once I've been knocked off my feet that I hate. The new engine allows you to be bounced off the floor, futher lengthening the time of helplessness. Hate it. In other news Plants vs Zombies is free for PS+ users. I got it just because it was free and I have to say it's annoyingly addictive. Worth a download since it's free eh? Also I managed to download a 103mb update in about 3 minutes earlier, nice to have decent internet for a change.
