View Full Version : Hello.
Hey... I'm new here. Yes, I asked a guard about introducing myself, and he told me I could just make a new thread if I wanted. So I will.
Don't worry. I'm no noob who asks stupid questions and double posts. I know how exactly to behave on a forum from experience. I have been pretty interested in the Worms games for a couple of years now, and I finally decided about joining the forum. I'm pretty sure I'll be active here, since I just got Worms Armageddon a few days ago and have been playing it since. These games have to be the most in depth strategy games I have ever played, and I'm not lying about that.
Well, anyway, hello.

also, I figured they might actually have some way of finding MAPP after reading my post, so I just mentioned that. besides, it's worth the read for several other reasons as well.

Not that it's actually racist. It's an anecdote about a grandmother who's a little behind the times talking about her favourite sweet (whose new, politically correct name, is "Liquorice Babies"), and the young Bryson's embarassment as a result.

Well no, but it would be about as helpful as the bah bah rainbow sheep thing, or insisting black coffee be called coffee without milk, or calling black boards chalk boards, etc, on accounts of it not remotely being racist in the first place.
Frankly, I think any black person who would be offended by the use of the perfectly normal word 'black' to refer to things of a certain colour deserves to be offended, but frankly I doubt there is anyone like that.

They're not like gummy sweets though (at least that I understand, do you mean like haribo?), they're not properly chewy. They're more soft and hard to describe due to not being like anything much else.

Yes jellybabies are slightly different - the centre is softer/a bit gooier (but I don't mean that in the sense that the inside oozes out I just mean that the centre is less fixed in place. ie. if you squish a jellybaby the centre will squeeze out a bit. Do that with a gummy bear and nothing happens. Jellybabies also taste different) and the outside is quite crisp in comparison. It is hard to explain.

Hmm, no :p . I might try that then.
Similarly, if you want a frame to last longer, you can put (300ms) at the end of the layer name, or whatever value you want. That will save on space instead of repeating identical frames over and over again....

I agree that it was a cock up on McDonald's part and they should be made to make sure it doesn't happen again, but I hardly think the woman was entitled to 100 grand. I mean, on what grounds did she sue? Assuming she was mentally stable, she can't claim it traumatised her and I hardly think it inconvenienced her, the most she deserved was a complementary packet of nuggets.
Rather, I think McDonald's should have been fined by whatever type of food standards agency they have in the US.
Good point. Although little beats good take-away food. The chippy will always provide one of my favourite meals Don't forget pizza takeaways, like Domino's. I hate McDonalds and the like, but chippies and fast food pizza places are great. :D

When chickens are processed they get divided into sections, wich are battered individually. So all the wings get done together, all the breasts get done together, etc etc. The heads are disgarded. A head probably got missed by the cutter teams, and was battered along with the pieces. Not really worth $10,000, IMO.

I've yet to experience a chippy that can actually do nice chips. Or fish. I suppose that depends on what you like, if you don't like thick, greasy chips you're not going to like a fish'n'chip shop very much. Still, I much prefer them to the thin American style fries at McDonald's. They are usually a bit too soggy though.
I have no problems with their fish or sausages either, but the thing about takeaway is it's cheap and quick and requires no work whatsoever. Although, I'm don't really discriminate between good food or decent food; as long as it's edible and not disgusting I'm just as content, so I'm probably not the best judge.
Still, I know I could have a better meal at home, but Fish and chips is for when you're away from home and hungry, or quite frankly are too knackered to cook but want a hot meal.

Firstly, I for one like thick based pizzas, I find them much tastier than the thin ones you get at real Italian places.
Secondly, I agree frozen pizzas from your local Sainsbury's are just as good (I don't think better), but again, when are you ever going to have takeaway pizza apart from when you're not at home, or are watching a film with some mates and can't be arsed to cook?

Good chippies are rare, but when you find one, they're bloody amazing! There's a Seafare a little way away from me, they've won quite significant awards in the past and their food is amazing. Mostly fairly crisp chips, very few little bitty bits, and lovely crisp tastey battered fish and sausages too. They chippy that's nearest me on the other hand, sucks. Soggy chips and naff fish.
But homemade pizza beats sainsburies and takeaway :)

No, it'd be mostly chicken, because chicken is nice and cheap and they use it for all their cheap meat products.
We bought some cheap 'pork' hot dogs from Sommerfield's once, according to the list of ingredients it was 10% pork, 59% mechanically recovered chicken. I shudder to think quite which parts of the chicken are 'mechanically recovered', but I'm sure it's not the prime cuts.

It's mostly feet, head meat, anything they can't make into cuts of meat. It's a shame, because the meat on a pigs head, for example, which is usually made into crappy pork products, can be boiled up into a rather tasty jelly called Brawn. There's more uses for these by-products than you think.

We're talking about running stuff over.
mining trucks can reach quite high speeds withoud any load. And people can not escape the Huge Tires!!11
But in a tank, you could fire something at the person o knock him dows, then run him over :p

Well what about a giant wheel? Never thought of THAT did you?

I assume you're thinking of a different type of mining truck to me. You don't mean small trucks which carry coal/slate/ore and run on rails do you?
I was expecting that to be wrong but nope, it's right. Full marks for research. I think that steam power might be even older than that actually, but steam locomotives are about 2 centuries old.

Um, hey... Howyadoin?
And trust me, there's more than one off the wall poster around here. I for one, fell off of the stupid post truck while it was going down to the shops. They found me somewhere around the Sega of America building.:p
I hope you have fun around here, and why not try playing around with fanart!

Steam power is, that was used back in greek and roman times, but the first steam engine that could move under its own power was developed in the 1700's. Then stopped after it smashed down a wall. :o
