Any chance we can get a thread for off topic stuff? most of the regular posters on here know each other enough to have a natter about stuff that isnt specifically CoD by now, could be fun, or could descend into a shambles :pac:

So after work this morning I strolled into town and after a while I decided to head into DIT to see some old friends.

I forgot to post it from there. But my friend sent it to me just now.

The best connection I've ever seen plus the best the best 3rd level connection too, it's a fact =

Had the week off.

On another note, I despise with a great passion people who guilt trip over such pathetically trivial things. Cretins. Had to use the ignore list for the very first time in 4-5 years too.

Howdy all, using my hotels supremely sh1tty and expensive internetz, damn phone broke before i came over so i have no wi-fi and dont really have the time to go traipsing about looking for net cafes and kiosks.
In San Fran at the mo, been a pretty wild week, went to Universal Studios in LA, saw an NBA game in Phoenix, went down a mountain in a jeep in Sedona, flew over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter, got 5 hours sleep in 3 days in Vegas, which was fcuking insanity from start to finish, between gambling at the Bellagio and winning 200 bucks then blowing it all again, rocking up to the Playboy nightclub in a stretch hummer, chatting up a bunny girl and partying on the 53rd floor of the Palms hotel with one of the greatest views of Vegas as a Halloween costume competition was going on, clubbing at home is going to seem so sh1te from now on lol

oh and Lee, I found Vanilla Coke, still want a bottle? :pac:

I know embedding's disabled on some videos. Is it just that the box stays white all of the time?

Ah well if you're finding someone who posted a youtube vid here or you have tried to post one but it's still showing up as a white box instead....

make sure use the tags obviously -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

and then the link, for example -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz9iN44LwoE

Only copy the part after the equal sign ie: Zz9iN44LwoE and put that in the tags

and wholla -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz9iN44LwoE

The system was changed a few months. Hope that helps, if not then follow the link Lee posted

Try update your flashplayer. That seems to help some people with the same problem as you.

It says i have the latest. and the videos work fine on youtube.com

If I use my girlfriends laptop profile and go on to boards there is no problem so maybe some settings in my profile have gone nazi on me.

7. Funny thing is I watched 1-6(6 via a summarized version on Youtube yesterday admittedly before heading out). I honestly thought they were up to 10 now :pac: But anyway. It was something different at least and a few of the movies were very decent IMO (1 and 3, possibly 4 as well as the last 15 minutes in the 3D movie).

A couple of decent death scenes like the Chester Bennington(Linken Park front man for those who don't know) was quite refreshing and the public scene + the last 15 minutes or so minutes were notables in 3D(me arse 3D). The rest of it like the majority of the series was muck which was a shame.

They should have left it at 3. They milked the series to death.

True. But you could say that about nearly everything put on our screen be it movie or tv these days. Producers, directors and the executive folks initial thought these days is.. can we get a sequel or prequel out of this and if they the chances are high they'll go ahead with the 1st movie.

I've heard the original plan was to end the movie at 2 but certain individuals were busy with other projects so the final ending was put on hold + of course the amount the 1st movie generated(someone in the film thread said they earned $50M dollars for each one which isn't half bad :pac:) they knew they were onto a money spinner instantly.
