The Humble Abode (Thread of Randomness)

[Ants_27_]

Anyone got an Acer Aspire M3910? If you don't, good.

I bought this a while back (probably over a year ago) and has caused a lot of trouble. Now however I have a new problem:

Recently the things been making a louder vibrating sound (yes, it sounds odd) that clearly isn't normal. So, take this noise and then the random crashes and add it all up to get the problem. If I turn it on, the PC will trigger all it's pretty light and sound off all the noises as it should but not much else.

Now, I think it's either the Hard Drive (most likely) or the CD Drive (a tad random). I kinda hope it's one of them after all, I'm not paying for repairs unless I can do them myself.

And are we all in agreement, the BEST character in the series is Tyrion Lannister? yes, yes?

Peter Dinklage is such a powerful actor. Even at his miniscule stature, when ever he enters the royal court, seriously it's like he's frikkin 10' TALL. And did he ever rock as Hand of the King. Some of my favourite moments...

* when he tested the various court members with his 3 different versions of who he wanted to send Cercei's daughter into marriage

* telling that guy, "I'm not questioning your honour. I'm denying it ever existed"

* beating down King Joffrey after escaping the riot, just priceless

* how he made that final stand and rallied the people for the battle of King's Landing

Yes, Emilia Clarke is fantastic!

And Tyrion Lannister is just awesome! He really knows how to play the game! Since we're mentioning favourite scenes, besides the ones you and d1n0 referred, I really loved the one when

Tyrion is in bed recovering after the Battle of Blackwater and Varys says “The King won't give you any honors The histories won't mention you But we will not forget”

He's Smaug The freaking Dragon! He's doing the motion capture and voice performance like Andy Serkis with Gollum. And he's also voicing The Necromancer

Sequences where Aang, Toph, Katara and Sokka appear especially amazed me.

HIGH-FIVE!!! Yeah, those were some of my fav scenes They look so awesome as grown-ups! I like how Toph still calls Aang Twinkletoes XD Can't wait for season 2 now, especially since there wasn't supposed to be any other season beside season 1 since there was only one book. But Nickelodeon ordered 14 new episodes, I think, I'm not sure We'll have to wait till 2013

That's frikking amazing, can't wait

And I think we can all agree there are numerous strong and deep characters in GoT. The Kingslayer is one of them too, I enjoy the scenes when he is or trying to manipulate people. The actor is doing an amazing job

Joffrey too, although I hate his guts, but he's tripping he's a king and he's insane!!!

True! Whether you hate them or love them, there's no denying that all the characters in GoT are very well written and brilliantly portrayed by the actors! I really hate Joffrey too, but Jack Gleeson does an incredible job portraying him! And I think it's fantastic how the child actors are so good, on the same level of the older cast members!

I won't be here for about 8 days, so I apologize in advance if I'll be kinda lost when I come back online next Monday.

Awwww, I'm sorry I missed this

I assume by now you're back home again, right?

Was this a school trip or something?

And what places in Prague did you visit!

Yes, share!

Prague is a beautiful city

Heh, I wonder why you say that.

It was a traditional school trip. Every class goes on a trip when they finish 3rd grade of a gymnasium. We were in a hostel in Berlin and in a hotel in Prague, but we also visited Regensburg, Dresden and Wien.

I like Berlin more than I like Prague. Both cities are very multicultural. German people seemed very cold and official to me and, strange enough, that is what I like about them. Czech people are, on the other hand, very funny people, but they don't know English very well. I mean, working in the very center of Prague (there is a store called 'Albert') and not knowing foreign language is absurd for me. Among other things, I've visited the biggest disco in Europe in Prague, a disco on 5 floors. I've danced there like I've never danced in my life!
In general, I think Berlin is more beautiful than Prague. It's more clean and has more beautiful buildings. I especially liked Reichstag, Fernsehturm (TV tower) and Museum of natural history. Those huge dinosaurs fascinated me and the view from TV tower is simply beautiful. Too bad my camera died when I was in the TV tower, so I don't have pics of that awesome view.

Anyway, I'm uploading pictures right now so you'll see them very soon.


EDIT

Prague:






Berlin:







I have tons of other pictures, but these are the ones I really like.

We're going at the beginning of the 4th grade and the destination is Italy Rome, Pisa, Venice... Makes me wish I played AC before all this so I can say "Hey, I climbed that building"

So... not long till Resident Evil: Retribution, even though I know it's likely to be fairly crappy. It has Milla in it and she's been cool since Fifth Element. I'd rather watch Resi films (although the first was quite a good zombie film to be honest) than a Michael Bay film.



And then we've got the lovely Resi 6, which I'm liking the way Leon's story seems to merge modern Resi with old school resi.... although I'm still not a fan of him:

[dark7angel]

I hadn't seen that Resi6 gameplay video!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[MissShortieB]

i love RESIDENT EVIL!! can not wait till the film + the game to come out buzzing! defo a fan of that aswell RESIDENT EVIL + TOMB RAIDER RULES!

iv played the demo bloody briliant!

No problem.

I'm liking the way that the game is set up with different stories and how they feel different. Like Leon's appears the more Gothic, old-school resi. Chris's is pretty much all action and Jake's is relatively a mix (I think).

It's lucky for some.

I actually bought Dragon's Dogma, wanting the demo. Turns out I didn't really like the game and the Demo was available till September 5th (around then). Ah well, I have it pre-ordered!

Yeah, I like that as well since I love the classic Resi feel but I also loved the more action-orientated Resi5 style!
