aww shit.

filling in a job application for a data management role (company car included), and I got to this part:



I've finished the positive side of it alright, but...shit. What kind of thing should I write as my weaknesses?

Easy. In the past I used to struggle with (for instance) managing my time on different tasks accordingly. However after working for company X I gained experience in this area which has made me more diligent." I've not worded it well but something along those lines.

Kryptonite.

Spin something positive as a negative here, eg, an inability to know when to let go of your projects since you're trying to ensure they're perfect when the user needs something that works.

Just finished the raid. It's not so bad when you are with people who listen and work together.

Need to do it on hard mode now and I still want to keep playing crucible.

Battlefield games scare me - the PvP in Destiny feels chaotic and daft so I like it.

Not bothered by Alien or Driveclub or anything else coming out this year, sadly. I'll probably go back to Diablo 3 once I've finished with Destiny, at least until the DLC.

There are a few smaller Vita games id like to try but I don't get everyone saying how many amazing games are coming out. I don't see any of them, it just looks like the same old franchises to me. Bloodborne and The Order aren't till next year and I don't know how long it'll be until The Witness is released.


Think you might like Futuridium, especially if you've played Uridium.

The last story on Channel 4 news tonight warmed my cockles. It was about Edwin Collins ("I've never meet a girl like you before") post stroke and his recent documentary. He has lost the use of his right arm and struggles to form proper sentences now.

The final bit of footage was him and his wife playing a love song on his guitar, him singing and playing the chords with his good arm as she strummed the strings sitting next to him.

He's always been a great musician, if you're into the slightly twee Glasgow sound as exemplified by Belle & Sebastian it's worth looking into Orange Juice, Aztec Camera & Postcard Records.

Who's photo are you using?

riley reid, pornstar

lol

But yeah. We've received 80 messages so far, it's fucking ridiculous. Most of them are literally just asking for sex or wanting to trade nude photos. I mean, what the fuck - no wonder I have no chance talking to anyone seriously if every girl's inbox is full of this crap.

Yep! That was pretty much the 'smaller vita game' I meant :) I'm just going to platinum Velocity 2x and then it's next up. I think it looks great and the devs seem lovely too.

You are the One.

bad joke

I laughed.

I think Kentpaul was thinking about an Xbox at one point. I think Xbox is for 13 year old homophobic dudebros, obviously. But I bet Xbox Live is about a million times better than PSN. Oh god, PSN.

Haha, although now I feel bad for any woman on a dating site. It's either sleazy dudes on dating sites or at bars. Seems more serious people would be on marriage sites.

We just told one guy that due to my wiccan beliefs, I ate a portion of my dead cat to preserve its soul. I made sure he knew I was deadly serious

he still wants to go out with me

yo, britgaf

I set up a fake female account on pof, and I've received 80 messages within an hour. no one has noticed I'm taking the piss:



I'm a horrible person

And you were looking for weaknesses to mention? There's about three right there. On the other hand you might just want to not mention them.

A huge chunk of Internet men are utter fucking wankers. You just need to watch any stream with a girl playing to see that. Anonymity does something to the underpowered.


I've just realised the irony of this given it's a bloke trolling. I do not understand you people. Humans, I mean. You're all mental. Mental!

I am so glad I am a hive mind. Sorry. I mean we are so glad we are a hive mind.

This is not me:

I bet you can send messages to friends without a 15 minute delay though. And you never have to wait for a day because of scheduled maintenance. Scheduled maintenance!

Should have gone to spec savers.

That was really good interview advice, phi-sheep. Cheers for sharing.

Hi, BritGAF. It's been a while, hope you're all well.

Question, has anyone ever got a parcel shipped from The Netherlands?

I been expecting it for just over two weeks now, would it normally be so slow?

Hi Sah! Funnily enough we were talking about you in Whatsapp.

I've not had anything from the Netherlands but I have had plenty of stuff delivered from overseas. It can take a few weeks depending on where it's coming from, I would have thought the Netherlands might have been a bit quicker but you never know.

Did you get a tracking number for it? How long does it says shipping will take in the T&Cs?

I've only sent stuff to the netherlands and that's like 2-3 days, I imagine the same would be the same from the netherlands as well. But really shouldn't be more than a week.

But yea, wise to check for this:

I'm not sure what my availability this evening is... I'm going out to the pictures straight after work and then having dinner so it could be 9 or later before I'm back. If I'm not online when you're putting a team together don't worry about it.

As for BF4, it's a shame it's taken so long to get it into a good state. I'm pleased that Hardline has been pushed back to Spring 2015 so they can polish it, definitely lesson learnt by DICE I think. Hardline looks a bit...eh though. I played the Beta and got to play it at EGX too. It's fun but I have problems with the premise. To me they haven't gone far enough to distinguish it from mainline BF games. It's still got "Battlefield" on the box so it has to play like Battlefield which means sacrificing some of the authenticity of the cops and robbers theme. For example, anyone can parachute. Engineers (subtly renamed Mechanics) can carry stinger missiles, you know, like bank robbers don't. I think the result will just be a Battlefield game with different skins and a few new modes.

That said, the new mode I played at EGX, Hotwire, WAS fun. Basically Conquest except the flags have been replaced by vehicles you can steal or destroy, so there's a lot of chase combat, and being able to shoot from the passenger seat of a car during a chase is great fun and I imagine the game will be far less predictable with objectives you can move around rather than the static objectives we're used to.

Well last night was a disaster. not only was the friends list for psn absolutely broken.
The people I managed to eventually got in had very little clue as to what to do so a hail of deaths happened, no progress made, but it was still kinda fun, just wish my mates were actually around after saying they would be, not being there was quite annoying really.
But whatever it's friday night and I'm gonna get drunk tonight!

I just really went off battlefield after 4 I just can't trust it and also I played hardline at EGX and absolutely hated it for some reason, it just screamed reskin and most of the modes didn't really fit into a police car chase sort of thing, which is a shame as it could have been really awesome!

Need to do it on hard mode now and I still want to keep playing crucible.

Congrats! Wish I had a team that would listen last night, at one point the relic carrier decided to play as a tank, which ended horribly.

still I learned a lot last night anyway, I have the Oracles locations burnt into my head now.

I just want to get this out the way so I can go back to crucible.

do you think that the awful situation in ferguson et al has played a part in the delay of hardline? seems a poor time to bring out a ohh-rah militarised copa fuck yeahhh!!! game.

not at all, the game at beta was absolutely awful, the feedback came back and EA pulled it. As they can't afford another battlefield 4.

Also surprisingly at this years EGX the booth was really scaled down, when compared to what it was for battlefield 4.

Fun fact, when they did the rooftop matches at e3 there was an actual armed robbery police chase going on in the town...

Pleased that Megan Fox car pic didn't show up. Good stuff Ninj.

So it seems that Jeremy Clarkson is in a bit of bother again this time in Argentina.

I mean it's kinda funny how the Argentinians are getting pissy about a fuckin' license plate but there's one other thing that sticks out here.

The Telegraph said:
The BBC insisted that the choice of numberplate was “an absolute coincidence”. A production assistant on the show bought the car and did not notice anything untoward, a spokesman said.

Bollocks. I call bullshit on this. Considering how much scrutiny Clarkson is already in you're meaning to tell me that nobody in the BBC saw "H982 FKL" and immediately thought about the war? I barely know anything about it and saw the reference a mile away.

Discuss Britgaf...discuss.

You was? What about me?

Also, it stated 14 days, which has passed, but I guess I'll give it another week before I start to email them about it.

Aren't you that guy in love with a dead platform ironically named "Life" in Latin? /jk
Yup. The same one that connects to the next gen console of choice, which I also own. Hell, I've even got one of those Fisher Price 'my first handheld' motherfuckers. The 3SDS3 or something? Dunno, I gave it my kid to chew on.

Nice to see you back, man ;)

I was shocked at a recent meet when it appears I have seen more anime than him. My world collapsed.
Well, thanks for taking mine with it you kawaii bastard :(
