The Dink Network

Hey everybody. As I'm sure preactically none of you have noticed, I'm sort of back or something. I used to be pretty active a few years back, but then kind of... Got a life. I subsequently forfieted that life in favour of well, Halo 3, pretty much. So yeah, that's what brings me here to pollute your once respectable community of fruit loving (at times it was rather creepy, almost making me doubt wheather your inexplicable love of bananas was simply platonic) folk which my pointless teenage rants, poor spelling and reasons why I am better than at least two thirds of everyone else hear and aout as good, or nearly as good as the other third.

But basically, yeah. Hi. What have you all been up to? If I remember correctly I left around the time Vortex died (actually a little earlier, but I lurked every month or so). It's wierd, but this place almost seems more active than it was when I left - lotsa new people. Oh - and I see Tal, the raging bananosexual that he is has finally begun hes regieme of terror... How's that going for ya'll?

I've been pretty good, so yeah... I'll finish with a discusting joke that's sure to horrify/discust/sort of amuse you, but then you feel terrible because you nearly smiled.

What do you get if you put a baby in a blender?

An erection.

Whats worse then nailing 18 babies to a tree?

Nailing 1 baby to 18 trees...

Er... I don't get it.

That probably means your sane

The version I always heard went as follows:

What's worse than ten dead babies in one bucket?

One dead baby in ten buckets.

But nailing babies to trees is half the fun...

What's the difference between a baby and a trampoline?

When you jump on a trampoline, you take your boots off.

I subsequently forfieted that life in favour of well, Halo 3, pretty much

That's where I've been. Good to see you again. Or good to meet you, I don't know if I've ever met you. Either way, good to see you.

baby+blender=erection?

i dont get it

how could a blended baby give someone an erection?
or is it some other meaning i am unaware of?
there is a program called blender...

"baby+blender=erection?

i dont get it"

Someone else take this one... I'm afraid I might upset someone with my answer >_>;;

I don't quite get it either but I was afraid to ask...

Wow, so I'm not the only one living inside Bungie's matchmaking system?

Apparantly not. Although I've started drifting between Halo and Call 4... Goddammit, they're just both so excellent :'(.

Call 4 is excellent. Halo, however, is not excellent, it does one thing really well, other then that, not excellent.

That one thing being...?

Multiplayer, of course.

I think Zero Punctuation said it best, and I paraphrase: "Halo is an average shooter with good multiplayer that somehow got far above average popularity".

Whilst Zero Punctuation is a very witty guy, whose reviews make me chuckle until I'm out of breath (Guitar Hero), I feel his opinion of Halo is horribly, horribly wrong in every way and is an abomination upon this Earth.

But then again, I think Assassin's Creed is a big pile of banana (the bad kind), so what do I know?

I agree! Oh god yes, how I agree! Assins creed sucks banana. Beutiful graphics, but other than that it's really awful in most respects.

And see here we have a clashing of tastes; I loved Creed...

Hmm... I'll need to play AC more to make a judgement call on which is better. But I'm not a big fan of "go collect all the items", and I'm not really caring much for the parts where you're in present day, wasting time *not* playing a ducking assassin. So far, I'm probably going to come back with impression that both were over-hyped average games.

What other game are you referring to? Halo? It would be hard to compare them. Apples to oranges for the most part.

i dont really play im so deep in homework ill probably have summer school or worse...

Zero Punctuation is overrated.

I've actually never heard of "Zero Punctuation" so I am assuming I have been left out of a loop somewhere. Maybe I should look into this.

"What do you get if you put a baby in a blender?"

Get this:

How do you get a hundred babies out of a blender?

With corn chips.

His sudden rise to Internet fame was unsettlingly fast, but I still find him to be quite entertaining, none-the-less.

Entertaining? So he is funny? And by your statement I assume the validity of his reviews are questionable?

Yes, he is funny and there are very few things with his reviews that I disagree with.

I just found out about him... He's great, click.

Oh and on a completely unrelated note, I just finished watching Napoleon Dynamite. It's good, but I think it's kinda overrated.

He's right on one count; Fantasy World Dizzy is the best game ever made.

Uh, yeah, they're different games, but that still doesn't mean I can have different levels of enjoyment with them. So far, I played up to my first assassination, and it's been pretty fun. I really enjoyed the quick escape to the rooftops, jumping from building to building and then ultimately hiding away.

Striker: I finished Assassins Creed, and the game is actually very enjoyable in many ways. But you'll find it starts getting unbelievably repetitive, with you required to do the same 3 or 4 tasks over and over and over again. If you can get past that, you'll get a lot more out of it.

Also, the game plays much more enjoyably when you play it like it's meant to be played. By that, I mean by doing what you did... running away. You can pretty much kill an infinite amount of guards once you get to grips with the combat system, and stroll around completing side quests before heading back to the Bureau after an assassination - Despite the constant attacks from guards. To get the most out of the game, you should run in these situations, and definitely shouldn't exploit the counter attack system (through which you can win almost any fight using one hand. Literally).

The sequel has great potential, they just need to give Altair a bit more to do.

That reminds me of playing Thief on the "Normal" level. If you were good enough, you could pretty much run around killing everything you found and not bother with stealth so much. Of course, harder levels had restrictions on what you could kill, forcing you to be stealthy to survive.

I've been trying to play various different MMORPG's sadly Maple story doesn't work on my computer. ='( anyone know of any good & free MMORPG's to try.

Tibia is worth a shot for anyone who has not yet tried it.

is there one called fibula? or maybe radius or ulna? lol also does any one know what would be wrong with my maple story game it keeps on saying something about error finding Gd2d or something like that i dont know the exact words ill find out later & post them.
EDIT: it says failed in finding proper screen mode for Gr2D

I lost a good couple of years to Dofus.

It's not completely free, but you can still have fun without paying.

Try Fiesta, its super fun and as free as you want it to be. You can pay for various items if you wish, but I pwn many ppl that buy the better items easily.

if anyone has the time i suggest runescape
i played as squirrel_Tak but uh you know i got board of it so i dont play much anymore.
ive started on dofus but how do i beat the scarecrow?

...I really *HATE* paying for anything...

Im sorry but runescape sucks...royally

I didn't like runescape much, but its easy enough to hack that it's no challenge. I kind of like a game called Perfect World right now, and Maplestory is my enemy. Its a hackfest of epic proportions that is quite funny to see. Thankfully, I enjoy the fact that they destroy the game every minute of every day.

im playing dofus i finally beat that scarcrow i am ladycarrot & lenadith on dofus.

Ah yes, Runescape, the bastion of mediocrity.

whats a bastoin?

Dictionary.com

i looked up bastoin now i understand what tal is talking about. now heres a really weird word to look up BROBDINGNAGIAN & i promise its not gibberish...well atleast not any i came up with..im pretty sure its a word. the definition is funny.

I was just thinking that looks like it's from Gulliver's Travels when I saw that it is!
I wonder how many people have ever actually used that word, apart from whoever invented it.
