I remember Harry the Inverness fan who used to tag each post with his name and get upset if ICT were playing on the sabbath, but never went to any games and would always come up with excuses, read as familiar Shaun?
I'm sure this was a Dougal alias. Dougal being lets say an individual on CaleyThistleOnline with his unique way of looking at things, some say he is a troll, some say he is a force of nature, when I put this question to him he told me to f**k off which shocked me as Dougal never swears.
I wish Dougal would come over here from CTO he would get so many bites especially if he started to wander into the GN, Dougal in the local news thread would be carnage.
Mind you anyone who tags their name onto the end of their post deserves to be shot with a blunderbuss full of pigshit.

I played 4 first which is probably why I like it so much, first experience of fallout. Lost months of my life to it.
I loved the settlement building part and I just felt 3 was too much of "work your way through this tunnel to progress".Yup I've spent weeks on the building part. The settlement building is enjoyable and its interesting to see what you can create with the limits of each settlement, interesting also to see what other gamers have done. I like some of the building mods as well, haven't had a look at Nexus for a while to see if there is any new ones on the go.

Yup. The whole voiced character jumping in and out of emotional scenes during the main storyline was jarring when you spend the rest of the time exploring not giving a shit about his son.
The overall map design and gunplay was a big improvement but nothing else really. It made VATS less fun than shooting which I liked.
I based my entire second run through the game on this, trying to use more emotional dialogue when dealing with characters the Sole Survivor cares about. The dialogue I found as one of the downsides, the sole survivor just lost his wife and had his son kidnapped (even though it was 60 years ago) that and a number of traumatic events including the fact it was 200 years later and that the world that he knew didn't exist anymore. I tried to play the second time as it would have happened for real life with real life reactions as much as the game would allow you to do. The main point would be that in real life a father or mother who had their child kidnapped would have that as their main priority (probably more likely their only priority) not faff around building settlements or siding with factions. ''Preston Garvey shut the hell up, I got you and your friends out of the museum, killed a deathclaw and some raiders so you could help me find my son instead of going on about bloody settlements''. I deliberately focused on how a real person would react in this situation and overall it sucks but then you wouldn't get much of a game if it was real. Also I used the factions instead of siding with them avoiding most of the missions and only helping so they could help me, this went on until after meeting father for the first time when the frantic search stopped and gave time to reflect, sole survivor would only then think about helping others and the three factions depending on finding out their motivations.
The reaction anyone would have in that situation where you have lost your partner and you find out that your son is thirty years older than you and runs a shadowy selfish orginisation that experiments on the remaining population without any compassion or any thought about helping them often killing them in the process, it would probably see most parents either spending the rest of their short life in drug or alcoholic induced oblivion or turning a gun on themselves. Sitting around in the yellow house in Sanctuary huffing Jet all day with Mama Murphy and Trashcan Carla would not be unappealing. (Yes I have seen Carla walking in and out of that house when she thinks I'm not looking
edit - seen through a sniper rifle lol)
The complete lack of emotional dialogue especially from father/Sean towards the Sole Survivor after the first meeting was a cop out, either Sean was supposed to be unable to have any emotional attachment to his Dad or its just simply crap. You go and visit your son soon after the shock of the first meeting to catch up and to start bonding and he send you out on a fucking mission!! wtf, so detached, but its only a game. Also you would take years to get over the death of your wife/husband not end up in bed with a companion within days or weeks of waking up, too soon...too soon.
If the next Fallout can raise its dialogue and dialogue choices up to the level of Witcher 'Wild Hunt' it would be fantastic (despite some dialogue in that being a bit cringe worthy)
Don't think I'm taking this game too seriously, I had a lot of laughs second time around especially when the game gliches, when something happens by accident or by using more sarcastic dialogue.

Most goalies are only as good as the defence in front of them.
And our defence last season weren't the brightest.
A good goalie can give an average defence more confidence and get them to perform better, there's more to goal keeping than just being a shot stopper. A goalie is the boss, captain or manager of his area, or he should be. A goalie who is continually not communicating with his team mates, getting intimidated for what ever reason, not giving back the abuse from team mates even when he's in the wrong is not a good keeper.

I haven't played Fo3 or New Vegas, I have though watched the play through on Youtube by Gopher. Fallout 3 is a looks good game and was a good reboot for the series, people need to remember its in its time and was a state of the art open world game back then, the concept was fantastic and the potential it had. New Vegas was much better simply because of the story line, the character interactions and the DLCs. I still think the DLC's on New Vegas are better bar Far Harbor on Fallout 4. I might buy New Vegas once my second run on Fallout 4 is done leaving just the settlement builds and while I'm waiting for Far Cry 5 to come out.
All the Fallouts are excellent, but it depends on what you are looking for in an open world game.

I've played FO4 twice through and both times met the character Evan who lives in trailer in the south part of Nuka World, the first time meeting him without knowing the back story behind the inclusion and reason for this character. Good guy, both times he asked me to help myself to his stuff, both times I had a look around but took nothing, both times I left behind a bottle of beer for him because he was so nice.
I think its a really nice touch by Bethesda to have done this.

^^^ Songs Desecrated by Otherwise Decent Artists thread for this pish.
I'll nominate Brian Ferry's version of Let's Stick Together, and probably Jealous Guy too. I'll also make certain Dundee-based posters' heads explode by saying that Tatu's version of How Soon is Now pisses all over Morrissey's version
Valerie is a classic song it sounds straight out of the late 60's or early 70's, the first time I heard it on the radio I thought it was Ray Davies singing. So although the Ronson/Winehouse version in my opinion is a decent take on the song, but you are correct the original is still the best. Its a shame the two versions were brought out so close together, I quite sure more to do with the demand and hype around Amy Winehouse at the time, certainly stole the Zutons thunder quite a bit especially when some people believe its her song.

Time to kill sitting in work having a mammoth turd this morning
It also doesn't take someone with any degree of intellect long to rattle out a few paragraphs.
So you spend all day at work sitting on the cludgie with your laptop.

Have a look back at the goal from the first game of the season against United and you can see Vigurs going spare at Elsdon at the penalty award. Expect to see a lot more of that this season when the comedy trio of Donaldson, Elsdon and Ridgers play. Absolute dross.
I think everyone needs to be patient, this new group of players are still settling in and getting used to one another. I think is fair at this stage to give everyone a chance to prove themselves so the management team can workout where the squad is in progress and if its not working out for some players and if we need more new faces. Its been quite a shock to the team the amount of players that have left and the number who have come in, but you never know out of this group maybe three or four might become very good players for us and will become regular fixtures in the starting 11.

One other interesting thing to note from those highlights is Tremarco and Polworth giving Ridgers dog's abuse after the second goal. Not a sign that there is much confidence or respect there.
They're used to much better standards.

He did, didn't he.
Maybe we could we get him on loan.
Seb Ross and Bruce Anderson were the scorers for Aberdeen, must be Anderson. According to afc news he's on his way to Elgin City probably on loan.
I see we had Trafford sent off yesterday for his reaction to a late tackle on Chalmers by Frank Ross who was red carded for that.

Yesterday's game had the look and atmosphere of a pre season friendly. I don't see the benefits of having U20's in this competition apart from showing us one or two individuals who will become 1st team players for their club in time.
Who is the Aberdeen number 9? Looked a decent player and scored a very good solo goal.

At last this thread has started to get interesting.....
I like bovril with milk in which I discovered quite by accident several years ago. People look at me as if I am mad when I ask them to put some in.
I don't take sugar in it though.
Yeah, mine had sugar.
I have heard the Bovril with milk added works and can be used as a sauce.

North of the Forth, should we be worried about a large influx of people from Edinburgh coming up here looking for work and somewhere to live?

Glad to hear you recovered from your time as a vegetarian.
Was vegetarian for about 20 years, it was actually quite good as I spent a lot more time being health focused and learning about cooking, labels, location of where the food comes from. It focuses you more into taking care and knowing about what you are feeding yourself.
The only thing is you can't cover absolutely everything and I started having problems with my knees and other joints, probably more to do with age but I guessed I was missing vital oils from fish like the Omega-3 types. Changing my diet did seem to work, also noticed my hair and fingernails became more shiny and less brittle. Us humans are designed to have an omnivorous well balanced diet rather than excluding certain foods we do need to keep us healthy. It can be done going through life avoiding meat but you would have to be very dedicated, approach it sensibly and with real knowledge and have a body that can cope with it as you grow older.
However on some away days as a match comes to its conclusion its something nice to look forward to getting down to the local chippy and buying a fish supper.

I thought bovril was meat-free.
The manufacturers changed it back after the ban on British beef was lifted. It was only veggie for about two years. I can't see why it was still called Bovril during this time other than to keep the name on the supermarket shelves.

Lets All Laugh At Rangers Thread
in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Posted
At the moment O'Halloran knows that there is more of a chance finishing third with St. Johnstone than finishing third with Rangers had he been quite happy to sit on the bench playing second choice to Pedro's foreign duds.
Still think with Pedro there is an enemy within and a conflict of views that he came to realise the ingrained attitudes towards Catholics from the some of the support. Before he leaves I hope Pedro can field an entire starting 11 made up of Catholics, it would cause so much rage from the bigots. I hate to see them winning but for the bigger picture sake I hope they have more success in this case although it will go down like a fart in a phone booth at FF or RM or any of the rancid supporters groups. Most Rangers fans want to see their team winning regardless of who does it for them and its frustrating that from time to time they give in to peer pressure, the bigots being the alphas and the ordinary supporter acting like sheep just to fit in, which is a shame because the ordinary supporter doesn't really get a word in. Lets hope Pedro takes Rangers on a real journey, one more important than trophies or climbing back to where they deserve to be, forward the revolution.
Am I just fucked??
