IMHO it is far too early to commit to buy a game for which no required specs have been published and on the basis of a 17-minute trailer from the campaign mode. Whilst the Origin pre-order prices look horrific, it'd be worth shopping around nearer the release date. I don't see access to the beta as a perk, personally. With so much money being asked of players, is it too much to expect a software house to play-test its wares?!

A Man's Age as Determined by a Trip to Home Depot You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house - mowing the lawn, putting in a new fence, painting the living room, or whatever . You are hot and sweaty, covered in dirt or paint. You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit - shorts with the hole in the crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who knows what, and an old pair of tennis shoes. Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realize you need to run to Home Depot to get something to help complete the job. Depending on your age you might do the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your 20's : Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss, and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout lane. And you went to school with the pretty girl running the register. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your 30's: Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your 40's : Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to Home Depot. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The spicy young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your 50's : Stop what you are doing. Put a on a hat, wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dog doo-doo in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat. The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember the hat you have on is from Buddy's Bait & Beer Bar and it says, 'I Got Worms.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your 60's : Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose the dog doo-doo off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's. You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your pants. The girl running the register may be cute, but you don't have your glasses on so you are not sure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your 70's : Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Home Depot until the drug store has your prescriptions ready, too. Don't even notice the dog doo-doo on your shoes. The young thing at the register smiles at you because you remind her of her grandfather. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your 80's : Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now you remember you needed to go to Home Depot. Go to Wal-Mart instead and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name. You went to school with the old lady who greeted you at the front door. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your 90's & beyond: What's a home deep hoe? Something for my garden? Where am I? Who am I? Why am I reading this? Did I send it? Did you? Who farted?

Something to do with a limited number slots, sweetheart. Don't take it personally. I'm sure Harry will explain all in due course. We all love you nonetheless!

The Mail Online reports: "Nearly 40 government agents raided the home of popular online gun enthusiast Kyle Myers, 26, well known for shooting and blowing up inanimate objects on his YouTube channel FPS Russia. The armed authorities with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and state and county law enforcement agencies showed up at Myers' home office in Carnesville, Georgia, as well as his father's home in Lavonia on Tuesday, three months after the unexplained death of Myers' business partner, Keith Ratliff. The agents were hunting for explosives like the ones featured in Myers' YouTube videos, which they believe the Internet celebrity was using as a sales platform.

Recorded in Cyprus, earlier this week? (For those over the Pond who may not be aware, Beethoven's setting of "Ode To Joy" from his Ninth Symphony, as performed in the clip, is the Anthem of Europe adopted by the European Union. Great piece of music despite this!)

Outstanding poetry!

OK, as long as you realise that, following a name change, there is no back-stabbing and the default weapon has to be a shotgun without a grip...

I gather there's been a lot of this about - the norovirus season extended into March. Had a week of it earlier - not good. Good to read you're getting over it. Drink plenty of water!

Just to prove he isn't always in a plane and invulnerable to knife kills...

As you've switched to CDT now it is UTC/GMT -5 but I agree that 1am is a bad time for playing here (I'm usually going to bed around then). In mainland Europe it is an hour in advance so 0200. Weekday events are always going to encounter this because those in North America are working/ studying when we're playing in the evening.

As I have occasionally asked before, in-game. does the fact that XI runs "adult" servers mean that players are all naked? Or does my poor kdr mean I am shivering?

No, me bonny lad, as we know you only get fog... I feel a song coming on...

I always suspected he made the Admins wear silly hats...

The only member who brings his daughter along to shoot me... Give him a medal!

I took the boat out, last summer, Johnny and had one hot sunny day - it rained for the rest of the week. I counted myself lucky to have managed one afternoon in the sunshine, fishing and drinking beer. My brother was due to take his out from last weekend and cancelled as there's lots of snow and gales in Cheshire with fallen trees blocking the canal. Lately, I have been woken by the cold in the mornings and we live in a house with central heating! I'm wondering what the farmers are going to do with their saturated fields - if it was warmer, they could grow some rice perhaps!

Here in the Seattle area its much like that also! Lol! I don't know - you have 66 degrees forecast for Easter Sunday. Here it will be 42... Today it has been 32-36F!
