Enough of that shit.
I've been playing Duke Nukem Forever. It's finally brought closure to the nineties. I feel a bit sad now.

How's tricks, /talk?

I brought closure to my MA yesterday by handing in my dissertation.
Today I have utterly failed at a job interview and also failed to go to a party for which I had already paid for a ticket because I feel truly shitty.

*hugs*
Interviews are a funny thing. In all but one I've felt like I failed at it but I've been successful at a few.
( CowJam, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:18, archived)

No, I properly mangled this one.
I got a letter inviting me for interview and because I was rushing off to hand in a dissertation draft I only read the first line. I was meant to do a presentation. I had no idea about this. Oh cock.

Bugger
hope another opportunity comes up soon
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:31, archived)

It's not my dream job but I'm pissed off with myself.
It was my job too, I mean literally, it's just for more hours at what I've been doing since I was 17. I am not looking forward to going to work there this weekend.
( TFD is sporting this season's finest necropants, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:34, archived)

No chance they'll give you the job
despite the poor interview? They must know you're good at what you do.

Have some wine and look to the future

Whoops!
Don't worry about it. You fucked up and you'll know better next time.

I feel proper rubbish. I think I need a pitcher of The Steve.

sorry to hear that, hope you cheer up soon. Do you know if you actually failed the interview or did you just think that because maybe you didn't and what kind of party do you need tickets for? forget that :D

What's your opinion of it?
Gonna get it anyway because it's Duke, but want to hear your thoughts.
( Spider Fucking Riviera got stiches for a knife wound for the first time, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:18, archived)

Mixed.
For vapourware it's incredible. For a 1998 game it's incredible. For a modern FPS it's not brilliant, but I've had a lot of fun with it so far. It's pretty much exactly what you expect duke nukem to be and the first ten or 15 minutes or so are fucking awesome (don't skip to the menu, watch the full intro).

I'm really enjoying it. I stopped a few hours in and thought I'd play a bit of LA Noire instead but I went for a piss then went straight back to it, so it's got more draw than I expected.

I read a review that says bulletstorm is a more suitable successor to Duke 3D and that may be right, the demo was fucking awesome, but this is duke nukem forever. I've been waiting over a decade for this motherfucker and while it may not match up to the latest shooters it's pretty fucking good and if you played duke 3d you'll enjoy it.

Overall, it's pretty good but it's a decade old. I'm glad I bought it today but as I said I can't help but feel a little bit sad that it's actually happened, it's brought the 90s to an end.
( CowJam, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 1:06, archived)

Cracking, I might play some LA Noire.
Slight twist ear the end.

I don't really play computer games
so can't comment on that element of your post. Other than that, yes ok thanks.

I have curry, it's pretty good

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:27, archived)

What kind of curry?
I meant to buy one, then realised midnight had come and gone and it was too late :/
( broadsword now that's fresh, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:28, archived)

Chicken dupiaza, lemon rice, and a keema naan

Though I'm liking the sound of lemon rice

It's really nice
what's wrong with a chicken dupiaza?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:33, archived)

I'll be honest, I have no idea what a chicken dupiaza is
as a stereotypical male, I order things like phals, cry a bit whilst eating it, then drink more alcohol to take the pain away
( broadsword now that's fresh, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:35, archived)

Much better to have something less hot
but much more tasty

Broady dislikes any curry which doesn't telegraph its exit loudly and clearly.
I am not such a fussy fucker though.

Any chance of an all-expenses paid trip for my humble self?

alright there Spider
how are you? This curry is lovely, and the naan is the nicest one I've had in ages
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:40, archived)

I'm good thanks.
Won money on the euromillions, had a good day at work and have upcoming days off due to the kitchen getting extension work done starting next monday.

I don't think I've ever had naan bread, am I missing much?
( Spider Fucking Riviera got stiches for a knife wound for the first time, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:47, archived)

Good for you, more than a fiver?
Naan bread can be really nice, not really worth buying seperately though. Good for finishing the rest of the curry with

Going to put money down on a 3DS and OoT on monday (was putting money down anyway, but going to nearly pay it off now) First time I did the lotto in years too.

Nice piece of luck then
Maybe I should try the lottery
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:56, archived)

Place down the road did a 'bullet naan'
which was just fuck loads of chillies in a naan bread. I liked it, they've now shut down, there is a moral here somewhere.

other times, like last week, not so much
( broadsword now that's fresh, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 0:50, archived)

The episode tonight was fairly depressing. It basically admitted that things get shitter as you get older and they can't keep doing the same thing week in week out.

( JessAction Give me all your expensive brandy and hubcaps., Sat 11 Jun 2011, 1:02, archived)

I stopped watching for years, then started again, and was surprised it was still funny
but yeah, occasionally I think they'd be better not airing an episode
( broadsword now that's fresh, Sat 11 Jun 2011, 1:06, archived)

It's still going?
I don't think I've watched it since the movie.

I don't think I've ever laughed as much
as I did seeing the South Park movie at the cinema

mind you, we took 1litre of vodka in with us

I laughed more at Mars Attacks tho

there are players who can just run around the levels who are virtually unkillable. I've just emptied 3 magazines of bullets at this bloke who just danced around a bit then stabbed me!
