    Learning a new language.

    I recently decided to learn Polish, (Not for any real reason, I just work with some Polish people and it seemed like a bit of fun) Best advice I can give is to just jump right in, if you can find some native speakers who can help you out (maybe online)and don't be afraid to mess up. I lost count...

    Is the European attitude towards alcohol better than the Americans'?

    Well can not really comment on other countries. But in Northern Ireland drinking alcohol is seen as a pretty standard thing. While in most countries drinking daily seems strange in NI no one really bats an eyelid about it. In jobs if someone tips, they will always tell you to buy yourself a...

    Your personal mantra.

    Whenever somebody asks me a qustion about life or I feel bad about something I did I always say. "It is what it is" So I guess that is my mantra. You can not change the past so why worry. It is what it is.

    Payne to the Max! Payne in the butt! (Worst levels in gaming thread)

    It's not that it is hard it just seems like unnecessary filler they stuck in to pad out the tower section. You get sucked in to fade, run around for awhile doing pointless crap. then leave and it's never mentioned again (as far as i can remember). it plays no part in anything else in the game. I...

    Payne to the Max! Payne in the butt! (Worst levels in gaming thread)

    The only one I can think of is from dragon age origins. When you visit the mages tower and get sucked into the fade. You then get to send ages running around a bunch of annoying mazes solving stupid little shape shifting puzzles for no reason at all. It's not so much that it is difficult it is...

    Weird things that have happened in your area o.O

    When I was a kid a guy got shot outside the post office in my estate. Guys in a car just pulled up beside him in broad daylight and shot him. Apparently it was because he was a catholic but not sure if that's really all there is too it or not. I remember I had a view of the crime scene from my...

    Pro Wrestling Fans: How would you improve WWE and/or TNA?

    F*ck John Cena. That is about all I have to say. He wins all the damn time. He is in the main event nearly every ppv. Yet he can not wrestle for crap. There are much better wresters getting screwed over just so WWE can keep this overrated hack in the limelight. Why? Because for some reason...

    Skyrim PC Specs announced!

    I am surprised by these requirment's. I had been planning to upgrade my graphic's card for this game. But if these setting's are right I should be able to play it at max with my current card. But I will probably still upgrade my card. It is getting on in years a bit. It still hold's it's...

    Games that properly qualify as "Epic"?

    For me it is Morrowind. Sure it had it's fault's but if you can look past them what you get is a truly epic game. You can be anything you want and go anywhere you please. As soon as you are off the boat at the beginning there is no pointless crap, no linear must do quest's. How many other games...

    Is there any legal way to get someone to pay back money borrowed without a contract?

    Damn that is fucked up. How could somebody do that to their own mother? Your brother sounds a a dick. As for legally I am not sure, If he had remortgaged it without there knowledge or something like that then it would have been a simple police matter. But sinse they gave him the money willingly...
