Got Wood? Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yeah. I'm loving Narcos being back. I'm slowly learning Spanish but I'm not sure how useful being able to say *badgeress* and rat which is all I have picked up so far will be heh. I'm working on my funny stumbly walk. Funny how you end up feeling sorry for Escobar and his family in this season. Almost have to remind yourself of things st times!a Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Power back on, was starting to feel the lack of Arnies withdraw. Also, whilst out of power, apparently more modern Russian weapon designs have been showcased, yay. Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Have you seen her in "Shooting Fish"? Very early film, she was very young. Contains a very short flashback/fantasy scene of her in lingerie. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Was that with Ewan macgregor? Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm pretty sure I've seen that. Looooong time ago though. I don't recall KB in it though but it sounds like I need to re watch. They have a loft insulation scam right? Moving it between adjoining lofts? Pretty much the only thing I remember.

amateurstuntman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yes to loft insulation, no to Ewan, that was Big Fish (which has Pearl Jam song in the soundtrack). Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 The controller is actually brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Surprised it didn't come with the rechargeable battery though, but having known that I picked one up ready. Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 ^me and my friend's 360s didn't come with a play and charge kit (though maybe there was a 'premium' package that did?) In any case it was annoying then and annoying now!!! I had a bit of an odd evening: the kinda-nun i live with (i posted about her before) is a total headcase, it turns out. I mentioned a chinese restaurant nearby to her (which she has never visited) and she started rambling about how it is 'a cover for something', some mad *suitcase* about green tea - "dried leaves" she said. "I know what tea is" I said!! I asked her to explain herself and she just gurned lol. So i told she sounds like an insane person haha. Mad as a box of frogs!!! After that... episode i went for a stroll and within minutes I find a bloke lying in the road. At first i thought he was *fruitcage*ed but turned out (imo) that he had some kinda mental problem. Anyway turned out he didnt live too far away so i got him back to his mother and their house. She looked at me like i was gonna turn the place over as well haha. Edit : then I had a beer. Phew Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Did you turn the place over. . . My son is missing his mummy, she's having to stay in her mums with our daughter (this is due to a *fruitcage* up with the house move, which is finally going a head, and as such my daughters school has started. So she has to stay in her nans for two weeks). Caught the dog lying at the bottom of his bed, he does this when ever someone is down. It's cute, but also annoying if he snores (the dog snores are like a French horn). Also, yay. Finally moving house on the 16th. After blooming months and months of flapping about. Can't decide as to whether to buy a pool table or a portable basket ball hoop (am *suitcase* at both, just like playing for fun). Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Why on earth would you play with it wirelessly? Just plug the USB cable in and off you go, no latency, no dropouts... Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 No cable to trip over, etc? I don't know why they think wireless controllers are better - wired controllers would be simpler and not need onboard power. The new Xbox One S controllers apparently have "extended range" compared to the regular Xbox One controllers - who needs that? Are people playing their Xbox in a cinema?

Skarclaw Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Why on earth would you play with it wirelessly? Just plug the USB cable in and off you go, no latency, no dropouts... Wireless is great for split screen sofa squeezing but otherwise agreed. My mate refuses to use a wired controller. Has bought new batteries for it for the last 10 years. Exclusivly plays about a foot away from his screen! Whyy Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Don't understand why people would constantly buy batteries - I know the rechargeable battery pack is overpriced and really ought to be included with the controller but it's still cheaper than a decade's worth of Duracells...

amateurstuntman Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 No batteries are the best batteries. I had 4 way sofa co-op out the wazoo on teh N64 and the only time the cable was an issue was when I was owning too much and my mates would pull the controller plug out with their toes.

DeltaZero Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 BBMF just flew past work nice and low... What a noise.. Guys in the workshop were bemused as I downed tools and knew they were coming before you could see them.. Nothing beats that noise. Nothing.

Lone_Bullet Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Funny how I come back to wired... Everything really. Except phone, duh. Installed CAT6 STP cable for my LAN netword at home, using wired mouse and keyboard, wired headphone etc... Better connection, higher bandwidth, less disturbances, better compability and no need to recharge or replace energycells. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 The more things become wireless, the more they interfere with each other - it's not rocket science after all, there's only so many frequencies available for use in that type of application, and you can only split them up so much before things start to overlap. WiFi is already starting to lose ground as everyone and his dog has it, mostly on the same default frequency... The same goes for Bluetooth and most other things. I think the Xbox one controllers use some kind of encrypted Bluetooth connection, but I'm not 100% on that. Link to post Share on other sites
