Thats good

but I prefer Snake 1 to Snake 2. Snake 1 was all about the gameplay, whereas Snake 2 is all flashy graphics and no substance :D

(

Lumpbucket tekcubpmuL, Mon 6 Jan 2003, 13:25, archived)

never played

Snake 2 personally, but i do remember some scrolling shoot em up on the Nokia that seemed to go on forever. Nemesis it wasn't.

(

djdirect, Mon 6 Jan 2003, 13:29, archived)

As an accurate measure of how sad I am...

my high score on Snake 2 is over 3000

I was unemployed a while back, OK?

I did Tae Kwon-Do for 3 1/2 years

but I didn't do Karate. Tae Kwon Do is one of the most popular martial arts originated from South Korea. It's awesome, semi-contact (so you don't get the shit kicked out of you weekly when you first start) and it's really powerful. At my peak I was breaking through bricks with the side of my hand (forgotten the Korean for that now). It's ace, and you get to jump around lots.

(Mattyboy, Mon 6 Jan 2003, 13:18, archived)

I got to a point

where I was getting frustrated about the learning curve. Normally you start off slow and finish off fast, right? WRONG!
The gap between the first 6 belts was 3 months, the last two were 6 month gaps. I got 8 belts out of 10, so I'm not that bad.

*edit* and I also achieved what I went there to achieve in the first place. To be able to defend myself (and practically cripple the other guy!) and break through bricks and stuff with just my hands/feet/elbows etc...

Karate is macho bollocks

You should take up a good internal art, such as Kung fu, Tai Chi or Aikido, where its less about pure strength, and more about technique.

depends what you want.

Karate and those arts are good fun, and great excercise, but in terms of self defence they aren't that useful until you get very good at it.

if you want self defense, learn something like jiu-jitsu or akido or take a self defense course.

Because it wasn't programmed very well

This is one of the few cases where the spectrum version was better.

Also, catering for the "lowest common denominator", the graphics were translated directly from the spectrum version, so appear much flatter and monochrome than most C64 games of that era.

However, Outrun Europa and Stunt Car Racer are both great racing games for the '64.

1st book: beautiful - well-realised, well-structured, properly engrossing and complex.
2nd book: er, all right I s'pose
3rd book: a mixture of the amazing, brilliant relationship between Lyra and Will, and the UTTER UTTER crap of all those personality reversions, weird and unlikely planets, and the fucking PIXIES - they weren't called Pixies but Pixies is what they were. I wanted to kill him when I finished that book - it was 99% shite and 1% really really good.

i thought the third was the best

although admitedly as the last in a trilogy itstands les well on its own as a single work

all the physics stuff was right up my street.

i liked the fact that the characters all had both flaws and good points, rather than in other young peoples fiction where the baddies/goodies divide is black and white.

It was just that some of the books (of the trilogy) highlighted the flaws of some caracters more and others highlighted there better points.

The only problem I had with them

was that they were in a trilogy and I had to wait to get the next book to carry on ;-)

For what are supposed to be early teens books, they are very thought provoking and moving. The whole idea of daemons was incredibly touching. And speaking as someone who went to a religous state school and then lapsed I think the idea of allowing kids to question their faith should be applauded, not feared...

How people can say they have real faith but have ever really questioned it amazes me

I got a new CD yesterday

its got psp7, Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX, Fireworks MX, and Sound Forge on it.

Which should I try and learn to use first?

Sound forge

I have wavelab

and never really use it, as I have reason, rebirth, and cakewalk too.

I have tons of software, and never get round to learning how to use it.

Dr Nick Riviera, Mon 6 Jan 2003, 12:34, archived)

cool edit pro's easier to use imo

that's the first time I've ever used "imo"

anyway, yeah, the interface is better on cool edit I reckon - soundforge is expensive but clunky, and seems to have been designed with "those whose computers only use one mouse button" in mind.
Just my thruppeny bit.

On a similar theme... (minor threadjack)...

any Kazaa users out there? Do you use Kazaa light or kazaa big? Someone here is using big version, which I don't mind, but it's using 99% of CPU time and fucking up everything else.

Anyone got any thoughts? Unless thius can be solved or Light is better, then it's history.

use lite

no ads, popups, spyware etc.

(

Light has all the spyware

removed, so use it. Full Kazaa may well be using your cycles as part of a distributed computing project, or to serve ads.

actually it's very expensive indeed

due to the crew's inordinately large cocaine habit. However very little of the programming budget makes it to the screen as most of it is spent on drugs and whores. (and goat whores for the more kinky ones)
