I’m not too big on the fill-ins, memes and various silly surveys floating about, but they can be, on occasion, an good way to pass some otherwise idle time.

Kinda of like playing the M&G, which is a good way to segue…

From what I’m seeing on the VR forums, your guild is extremely healthy right now Deaf 🙂

Hopefully your members will be able to get what they need out of GL too, without getting hurt by some of the more objectionable people they have in there.

Amusing answers. I don’t know if I’ve ever hear of anyone adoring popcorn … that made me smile, thank you.

Never done one of these before, although I’ve seen them on other people’s blogs 🙂

1. Contact may cause pain or pleasure but is definitely not something to shy away from.
2. The parties hereto do mutually agree that my left hand seldom knows what my right hand is getting up to. (job joke there …)
3. Disney parks are fantastic for photo opportunities, especially if you get a good spot when the parade is going past.
4. The Smarties Easter Egg I have in the fridge sounds really good right about now!
5. I positively adore popcorn.
6. Catching a rare glimpse of and chat with Miss L always makes me smile 🙂
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to watching more of the NZ vs England cricket, tomorrow my plans include cheering on Wales in the 6 Nations (that feels so wrong but if they beat the French it’ll justify it) and Sunday, I want to crash out, watch cricket highlights of hopefully England winning vs New Zealand !

There’s nothing like guild politics to ruin a breakfast or get your head spinning out of control.
Especially when you get the feeling that you’re the one who is supposed to do something about it.

I’ve had my fair share of nasty politics influencing my studies in a bad way.
After the great split in VR we haven’t had much drama, only a few outbursts of frustrations when things just isn’t working entirely like they should.
I personally refuse to take discussions very far when it is about in game stuff, with the split we had enough for a life time.

I guess it is always about finding the right balance, Wow would probably be quite dull without a little drama/politics once in a while but when there’s too much it is not worth the time it consumes.

If VR were to have another split like we did with Perdition I would probably end my wow career in VR and go to some guild where I could be without officers responsibility.

well I’m inspired to rent it and in awe of your dedication to research 😉

It is kinda empty 😉

There’s no deep thought here, no will-they-won’t-they romantic interest, no big twist at the end …

But – it’s an excellent popcorn film with lots of action in it and some really twisted nasty humour in parts too.

My mum would hate this film and my dad would hide in the next room 🙂

PS There’s a bunch of documentaries about the stand at Thermopylae, it’s worth watching at least one to learn about what happened there – it’s a pivotal moment in world history.

“give them nothing but take from them – everything”

great line and yet I have no desire to see the film. saw gerard butler talking about it, saw dozens of clips, just fell empty for me.

Wonder why?

I’m currently watching the film 300 off dvd, with the aim being research of course.

(note – taken the images out – lots of spurious hits coming in and I’m wary about copyright)

I’ve been watching my dvds with more care than usual lately, as I’m trying to figure out whether or not Blu-Ray HD would be a worthwhile upgrade. At the moment, I’m not at all convinced. After all, I can see 300 off the telly in perfect quality, the detail is perfectly visible and I can still count the ribs on the dancing slave girl oracle.

300 is a cracking film. It has bone crunching action, it has an excellent pace and the soundtrack complements what’s on screen perfectly. Whether that be the low moan of the wind, the instrumental classical style music or the grinding rock guitar of the action sequences. The battle sequences are truly epic and give the impression of the Spartans being a disciplined group of warriors, born to fight and instilled with the knowledge that they are the elite of the elite.

I don’t think I’ll tire of watching this particular film, it’s just that good. I know it’s not totally historically accurate but it makes far more fun watching than any historical documentary about the battle of Thermopylae, where the 300 Spartans made their stand against the Persian horde.

Closing this entry with the line that made the name of this film : “Madness. THIS IS SPARTA !” and “Give them nothing but take from them … EVERYTHING”
