when i've registered to other forums their have been a couple times when i've received a pm saying "her i know you from the gaming steve forum" because i use the same avatar pic and sig with all my accounts. At the moment i am only in two forums, here and i occasionally pop into the cracked forums to rant about stuff but i usually offend people so i stay out quite alot.

has anyone else here ever spotted someone in a different forum whose by finding someone using the same name and stuff as they do here?

if so then holla at me dawg!

If Some Alians who had the exact same Religion of Christianity and didn't foster the growth or creation of that religion here at all (it either happened by chance or they had the same visit by jesus like person as us)  came and visited earth. . .

Would you convert?

What effect do you think this would have on our planet? would everyone convert? what else might happen?

Its FINALLY here. i've listened to what snippets their are available and its sounds like its really good.

Considering this album is 15 years in the making it will be very difficult to live up to expectations.

Here's "Shacklers Revenge" the second song off the album.
It has a brilliant riff at the begining but the rest seems a bit lacking. It has that feel that many songs have that they're made by brilliant musicians who are past their prime.
I feel like stating that the solo is very good indeed. atleast that lives upto thier rep

Anyway its gonna be released in a couple weeks or so. you gonna buy it?

If you like it then your in or a treat because its just the first of a trilogy of albums that are gonna be released. should be a good selection of songs even if its not upto people's expectations.

For some reason people are bit shocked to learn that i ****ing love Johnny Cash.

i think the last song he wrote "when the man comes around" was a perfect end to his career and indeed his life.

to me atleast, his music is so brilliantly written it manages to ignore the fact that i hate country music and give me alot of entertainment.

What do you guys think?

O.K, so The followers of spode are like the Anti-Grox. They hate the grox more than anyone as they conflict with their prophecy and the grox's beleifs. You would imagine this would make them perfect allies for you to have but no. The followers of Spode are often the first major enemies players will come accross.

so what i'm asking is. is it possible to convert and become a follower of spode? i want to join them officially but i can't find a way.

O.K, i guess i just need some specific advice.


What are the most desirable planets for colonisation? obviously a high T score and lots of rare spice geyser is obviously what you want but what's more important?

is a high T score more desirable than lots of spice when you havn't got all the neccesary terraforiming equipment?
whats aspects are you looking for in your choice of planet for your first ever colony?
any other general tips or advice in this area?

Their was a Russian TV show where the first thing they would do is give the contestant the grand prize.

That's right, in the Russian show "The Intercept" the first thing they did was give them a brand new car and as the contestant drove away (by now quite happy) in his new car, the game show hosts would then phone the police and report the car stolen.

The police would then give chase and they have an agreement whereby if they evade the police for 35 minutes they win the car and if they're caught, they are savagly beaten right their on the roadside. Now since the contestants knwow their is going to be a chase many of them come up and prepare quite ingenious plans before hand, one even drove his car onto a boat and sailed away but again only a handful of people ever won as the show was propaganda and made to show that you stood little chance of escaping the police.

now this is a fine idea for a show to me, do whatever you want aslong as the contestants give informed consent then i don't care.

what i would like to point out is that this show had 85 million viewers.  85 million people enjoyed watching a program that consisted of a car chase and a savage beating.  makes me wonder how many people would watch a televised beheading if they showed that BBC1.  The only reason british and american versions havn't sprang up is because of the obious dangers of this kinda ****.

although i must admit, rightnow i am looking for some DVDs of this show.

has anyone here ever tried doing stand up comedy themselves?

i recently tried it and it was the most nervous i have ever been, i had been on stage before but always with a script and others on stage never on my own.

but i went up and was quite cynical which was unintentional but all in all i did quite well and i was just wondering if any other people have tried it
