The Humble Abode (Thread of Randomness)

[Ants_27_]

I can understand the place you come from , in terms of hating your mates drinking in the event that your always essentially pressured into doing so. But the way I see it is this:

Lets say we have three people: Chris, Scott and Robert. Chris Pressured Scott into drinking and then Rob tags along. Scott feels guilty for giving in and therefore tries to get Rob to join in so he isn't the only one to give in. But Rob refuses as he has morals that he respects.

I've spent about the last four hours watching the stream for the premiere of the Final Harry Potter film. I couldn't really afford 100-odd pounds to get to London, albeit it's only about 5 hours away on the train.

On another note, i shall be starving myself as of a few hours (so cramming in all that food until tomorrow. I have a blood test you see. I'm 19 and never had one so that's either good or bad. But I've never had a problem with needles or blood so its all good!

We don´t know what kind of changes it needs to get Laras hair a certain color?

I am in total agreement. I can understand personal requests for Lara's appearance, but come on...Lara will look the way that the development team decides. Everyone has their own little preferences about how a person should look (blonde, brunette, long or short hair, brown or green eyes, must be 5'9", etc.) so obviously no one is going to be totally satisfied with Lara's look, and in any case, it doesn't really matter. Her looks won't affect the gameplay one bit. Now, map options and gps...? Those are the kinds of suggestions that I think CD would like to hear about. Items that actually affect our playing experience will be the most important to consider.

That's what I'm talking about... Ideas like the map, and that horse ^^

Man, I hate those kinds of needles. Tattoo needle? No problem, bring it on. Nurse with a syringe walking towards me saying "I promise I'll give you a Winnie The Pooh bandaid afterwords"? Yeah, no thanks. Worse then a blood drawing to me tho, is an iv drip. That needle just chilling there in your arm. Yeah it's soothing you, but it's also not letting you roll on your side and gets a good nights rest in a place that's supposed to let you rest to get better (meaning a hospital). I had a nurse once who was on her first day on the job. I have three tiny scars on my left arm from her not knowing how to hit a vein with a needle the first time. Only good thing about an iv drip is when they give you a button so you can.... what's the word?... medicate? yourself. That's always nice until you get out of the hospital and get the bill for it. Smeggin' morphine's expensive nowadays.

[d1n0_xD]

LOL, I remember being a little kid, and taking a blood test. The nurse told me to turn my head away(because some people faint when they see blood or something like that) and I was like: No way, I want to see the blood. To me, as a kid, seeing blood running into that syringe was so cool XD Nurse thought I was a psychopath On another note, I have to get vaccinated in the next month or two... I turned 17, and between the 17th and 18th birthday, we should get vaccinated. I'm just hoping I won't forget xD

After thinking about it, I also like the horse idea, would be nice in place or Lara's traditional Ducati and I absolutely want the map!! Hey, how about custom Tomb Raider t-shirts for the forum members

[Ants_27_]

Yeah.

I've never really had a a problem with needles in fact I'll be off soon (I'm on here and Facebook hoping to keep on track and not eat. Though I am sort of in my "Childish" state of excitement at the idea... that's probably as I was never ill or anything when I was a kid. For example, I never had a single filling or clean up of my teeth, never been in hospital or ill that much... touch wood.

I'm also not faint at blood or anything... the other thing that I feel sort of 'weird' about is the idea of brain surgery. Sounds strange but to me the idea of having someone mess around up there is sort of off putting (If I had to then I would, don't get me wrong and I'm not criticizing people who have it done).

On a different note, Facebook has a new language now - English(pirate)
Ahoy, mateys ^^

Ah so it's the social pressure thing. I thought you just didn't like alcohol or something, hehe.

Yeah, it's totally understood then. I hate peer pressure too

On a different note, I just posted a beautiful commercial which was just sent to me in the ECC forum and thought I'd share it here too. It gave me goosebumps...

[Driber]

Already posted this elsewhere, but I'd to share this beautiful commercial which was just sent to me. It gave me goosebumps...

[WinterSoldier]

That's a cool commercial.

[Ants_27_]

I was glancing in the mirror (bought a few shirts for a Christening I'm due at) and felt sort of ill. It's not the fact I'm an ugly bugger, no. It was more the fact that I saw how much weight I really did lose. It was the first time I thought I'd take it easy.

Put it this way. Just before January of this year I wore shirts in Large, as of the past few months small. Now I never wore clothes that fit tightly so therefore I wasn't that fat. But never the less I did lose it, from say 38-37 inch waist to around 34-32 isn't bad going (considering I didn't do that much to lose it, no diets or any of that bollocks). I'm not complaining. Albeit I'm not fat free (say about 1/4 or a 1/2 of my palm left, though I do plan on building up my muscle mass by joining a gym).

Sorry for that random post of me looking in the mirror and having the realization hit me (it probably isn't that much).

On another note, anyone watch the Potter Premier or was I the only geek really?

[Vickram101]

^WTF?! Lara should've busted in there. XD Or she was the cause of the accident. *Invisible Cars* Next thing you know there will be invisible guns. XD

[Driber]

In TR9, Lara will be able to kill through telekinesis.

[d1n0_xD]

And she will have a large drill instead of right hand.

[WinterSoldier]

Nothing wrong with hitting the gym at all. Used to work for a place that gave us a free membership to one as a benefit. Loved it. Plus they had a weight room at work as well. Not working for that company anymore, but I tell ya, if dues weren't so damn expensive I'd still be hitting the gym. I mainly get my work out now by work (I do loads of heavy lifting all day. Like, 112lbs at the lightest for 9 hours heavy lifting) and my once a month solitary bike ride. Which is coming up tomorrow

[WinterSoldier]

I heard from a guy who knows a guy who has a friend that saw on a tv station that was recommended to him by the neighbor of his pizza delivery guy that Lara will have the ability to conjure up poisonous strips of bacon by mere thought alone. She'll be armed with a sling shot into which the bacon will go, then you aim for the enemies throat and it's "Eat my bacon, beastie!!". Poisonous Bacon Strip Launcher of DOOOOOOM!! Never leave home without one.

Mark my words: "Eat my bacon, beastie!" will be the new "Pwned!!".

lol best visual of the week! Someone needs to do a render of Lara with a bacon launcher.

[Pulse]

I'd like to work out more... but I have trouble committing to things such as vegetarianism, which would probably be nice, but I can't commit to that. I enjoy bacon much too much to give it up. double

Anywaaaaaaaaaayyy I'm going to try and post an album cover on my Blog every day for the rest of this month. Here is the first:


(click image to enlarge)

If my blog ever decides to get more viewers, I'm seriously wanting to open an online store to sell t shirts and whatnot (with Zazzle or something like that)

[tombraidergal]

I'm going to see transformers today! I mainly want to see it because it's Shia Labeouf. I saw the other two with my friend last week and i liked them, but this one looks epic :3
I IS EXCITED.

[d1n0_xD]

Can't wait to see Transformers 3 too, I watched the trailer and I couldn't hear what was Optimus saying to humans before: "You've made a great mistake!" (his voice is so cool )

[angelus0901]

Me too. I'm kinda angry Megan Fox isn't in it, but she should've kept her mouth shut...

[d1n0_xD]

Yeah, that sucks :/ But hey, giant robots figthing, woohoo

[tombraidergal]

eh i don't mind the Megan Fox isn't in it, but you know. she is who she is and she can't stop being the way she is. apparently the new girl isn't very good... but... anyway... i'm looking forward to it. it's nearly three hours long! five mins off being it actually!
:'D So much Shia in dirty shirts though :3

Haha, yeah!!!!

@trgal - 3 hours long?!?! Well, now I know I won't be going to the cinema to watch it. That's too long for me... I'll wait for the DVD...

[WinterSoldier]

@Pulse album covers of yours?

@Angelus How's the guitar playing coming along?
