Grey hunting..

Well i spent a lot of Saturday evening hunting players in Darkness Falls. Much of it using my scout.
I've spent years playing DAoC and up until today i've NEVER questioned the fact that a level 50 player can sweep in and kill a new player just for shits and giggles. The lowbie doesn't even stand the slightest chance. Frankly having played the game so long i've been on the receiving end of "grey" hunting more times than i can possibly remember. I've always treated it as a "well i was in an RvR zone, it was bound to happen". But today having spent four hours making a few lowbies lives miserable i finally got to see the side of the hunter.
In honesty i always thought it'd be great getting just desserts on all of those bastards that did it to me. But something didn't quite sit right with me. I had an awful distaste for what i was doing. So much so i even posted a thread on the "Critshot" forum To be honest it's starting to look like most people try to leave the lowbies alone and i very much believe i will in future also.
Although on that note i just found out a few minutes ago that killing the lowbies still counts towards your kill statistics, so despite not earning realm points for killing them you can still earn the special titles for deathblows or solo kills. Pathetic.. yes, i think so..

just a quick one..

Went to the petrol station at the local asda this evening. Thank god the petrol prices are finally dropping again. cost me 91.9p a litre tonight, which is better than the 96.9p i paid last week.
That alone knocked a few pounds off the final price for filling the tank. Not a lot, but enough to buy myself a bottle of Leffe blonde, which i drank a half pint of tonight.
Haven't played BF2 tonight at all, despite receiving a few texts off Loosehead asking me if i'd be on, i'm glad i spent the night with Billie though, she's been getting a little annoyed at work and it was nice to cheer her up a little.

G'night!

More Yallaah!

Well spent most of last night arsing around on BF2 with a some of the ~SiR~ Clan, and i've got a slight gripe with BF2's maps.
We ended up playing on the Kubra Dam map, the server we were on was a 64 player server so all the vehicles were available (Attack Choppers, Jets etc..) But the server only had around 25 people on it.
So basically we spent the whole round (both) pinned down by assault choppers, jets and artilliery, while the enemy forces rounded up the whole map and exterminated the survivors.
I'm not against jets on maps but when they succeed in ruining an hours worth of gaming it defeats the purpose. I personally love flying an assault chopper and wouldn't want to see them removed from the game but at least infantry stand a chance against them
Just GRRRRRRR!!!!!

Nacho Libre

Well, off to watch Nacho Libre tonight. Not entirely sure whether I'm looking forwards to it or not. On one hand I've not seen anything starring Jack Black that i didn't enjoy. However I'm not really a fan of wrestling, I've seen relatively little about the film and the trailers haven't made it seem too interesting.
I'm hoping it's going to be a very Dodgeball'ish film for me, that movie didn't appeal in the slightest, so much so that both I and my wife were totally against watching it and snubbed it's cinematic release. Something i now regret having watched it on DVD (and now owning it). Here's hoping I'll be rolling on the floor with laughter before i get home tonight.
-------------
Well i got home about an hour ago, i have to admit i enjoyed Nacho Libre though it wasn't the hilarious film i was expecting. As i said earlier, I'm not a massive wrestling fan so perhaps i didn't quite get the nuances intended but i did get a laugh out of the film. Billie fell asleep about 1/2 way through, so i guess that clearly dictates what she thought of the film.
All in all, good for a lads night but it's not one most girlfriends/wives would be happy to sit through, unless they're massive Jack Black fans.
On a slightly different note though, the soundtrack was hilarious. I'm struggling to get "Mr Loco - Religious Man (I am I am) out of my head. I managed find it on Myspace here

G'night!

Woot! old friend visited!

Well work was rough, but i guess it's just the same as it always was. Had some good news tonight an old school friend came to visit. She's a friend of my other half and it's the first time we've seen her since we got married.
Spent the whole evening catching up and talking about mutual friends, careers and just general chit chat about almost any subject you can think of. Along with perusing a few of the picture galleries on her laptop! (sheesh... flashy teachers and their free laptops!) ;)
Was fab to see Ems again, it's incredible to think we left school almost 9 years ago, clearly some of us have done really well with our careers since then, and others like me still can't find our niche in life.
That'll do for tonight, though i'm a little downhearted i missed a good night with ~SiR~ the unexpected visit more than compensated for it.

Toodles!

Please ~SiR~ may i have some Yallaah!!

Just off to join the lads for a game of BF2, might add more once we're done.

We'll be on:

• Cannabis City 85.236.101.48:17167
• http://www.sirclan.org
  

Anyone is welcome to join us, so long as you behave yourselves and stick to the server rules! The only risk of kicking if you stick to those is just to make space for members.

Cya later! Yallaaaah!!!

[Edit] Well just finished 3 hours or so of pure mayhem on the clan server, if you were there great! well played! if not why??!!?

Big thanks to all the ~SiR~ guys for providing such an awesome server and for having such good sense of humours! It's just like The BridgeBurners is, wasn't expecting that when i signed up. :)

Cheerio

Leffe mmmm...

Really short note to say thanks to my colleagues that bought me a couple of large bottles of Leffe when i left work on Friday, i gratefully opened them both earlier this evening and proceeded to drink myself into a merry state.
I found Leffe Braun to be a very nice beer, it was a little strong for my tastes, it was quite caramelly but still a nice drink, very easy to drink during a meal. Though i found Leffe Blonde to be much more to my tastes, it was suprisingly fruity, and light despite being a higher %age.
Of course my other half wasn't impressed with my drinking and decided to explain just how many calories i'd just poured down my neck, but frankly after three pints i wasn't really bothered and was feeling the munchies coming on.

On another note, we watched the latest Harry Potter film on DvD, it was better than i remembered at the cinema, but i'm not entirely sure whether that was down to the Leffe or simply my mood.

That'll do for tonight, work in the morning and unfortunately a long drive now i'm back in the normal office.

Toodle Pip!
