I had sex again
that's twice in 4 months, some people don't get that in a lifetime.

Also My wife pre-ordered me The Old Republic and is taking me to Alton Towers for my birthday so I no longer have anything bad to say about her, she has bought her way back in to my affections.

Alton Towers is awesome.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:40, Reply)

hell no it's the worst place ever
I was brought up near there so it's the sort of place people are like "HEY! let's do Alton Towers! It'll be FUN"

No it won't be fun, it'll be rainy and full of cunts in cagoules and squashed sandwiches and overpriced food and queues and stupid rides which are considerably less fun that people claim and then you spend ages trying to explain to people why going fast and being upside down is NOT FUN and they persuade you onto a ride and it's stupid and it makes you feel horrible and you just wish you'd stayed at home

No moaning!
I made the rules clear.

sorry

I had a great time at Alton Towers
and I don't like rollercoasters. Apart from the runaway mine train.

It's a pleasant place to look at and it was surprisingly not full of cunts

Nope!
I always go the second week after school starts again, on a weekday. Never have to queue and have an awesome time.

Nemesis, Rita, Oblivion, and 13 are all fantastic
And all it takes is a little planning to avoid the majority of queues. We tend to go in the second week of September, never queue for more than 20 minutes!

you just need to not be concerned about sitting with your mates
because then you can join the single person queue and get squeezed in a random spare seat
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:55, Reply)

The upside to going when we do is that the wait is cut so short we don't mind at all!

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:03, Reply)

I went on a glorious day
so standing around for 45 minutes in the sun chatting with my mrs before a pleasant dunking on the log flume was just fine.

SW:TOR?
I'll be playing that for sure.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:43, Reply)

Details please
I'm generally ignorant of forthcoming games releases until they're no longer forthcoming. Which format, first of all?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:44, Reply)

PC and maybe Xbox/PS3
It's an MMORPG.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:45, Reply)

Which they have been banging on about for years
and STILL doesn't have a release date despite now being available for preorder.

Thinks Warcraft but with Star Wars
( Peej, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:50, Reply)

Late this year I thought?
Gonna go Sith, you?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:53, Reply)

Not decided yet
I'd rather be Sith than Jedi. I might have several characters like people do on Warcraft. I quite fancy being a bounty hunter.

p.s. "later this year" Isn't a release date though
( Peej, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:58, Reply)

Not a specific release date, no, I'll concede that
I hope they don't follow the route of the other SW online game, where you could only have one character per server. My main will probably be a Sith assassin.

Ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh
No way am I getting it for PC, I'll be in some incredibly deep shit if I do
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:55, Reply)

I doubt it will be on xbox or ps3
Pretty sure its PC only
( Peej, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 11:59, Reply)

Hogging the laptop to play a Star Wars MMORPG for hours on end
is the quickest route to No Sex Ever Boulevard I can imagine

I'm building a super PC at work in anticipation

( Peej, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:26, Reply)

I cannot adequately explain in text form how far beyond my capabilities that is

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:35, Reply)

building PCs is easy
even I've done it. It's like stickle bricks
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:36, Reply)

A magazine I read
once described building a PC "like Lego, only with a slightly higher risk of horrific electrical death".
( Kroney, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:38, Reply)

and much better kudos from
people who don't realise how easy it is.

for some reason no one is impressed when you build stuff from lego
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:39, Reply)

Not even that unless you try hard
The maximum internal voltage (outside the PSU) should be 12V
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:39, Reply)

Indeed
and even then you'd have to be stupid enough to plug it in before assembling the rest of the machine.

It amused me, that's all.
( Kroney, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:41, Reply)

The capacitors in the PSU can hold a charge,
for the rest you stand more chance of damaging the PC than yourself if you fiddle while running, and usually not even that. I've not actually killed on since I forced the power supply from a 286 onto a 386 mobo as then plug styles were 'close enough'. lots of magic smoke escaped but no one was hurt.

over a passage that amused me.

I just wanted to join in with the big boys
so I looked like less of a pathetic arty person and more of a techy.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:49, Reply)

There's no risk of that unless you plug it in and turn it on

(PsychoChomp, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:40, Reply)

it's no fun without the danger

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:41, Reply)

I routinely plug mine in when its spread out on my desk
Electricity never killed anyone!
( Peej, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 12:42, Reply)

plug it in, yes
(that stops static problems) but just don't turn it on
