I just got my school report and am resisting to look at it before my parents get home. It's agony. :(

I always get it first, open it and then if I think it's good enough. I shut it again and give it to my parents saying, "I approve of this letter."

It's English, just say how they portray a good sense of meaning or they make a good atmosphere. Just make stuff up. :lol:

Also... Make sure you don't criticize it, because when I did that I got bad results. Though they say that was the only reason my marks for it were low. :grumpy: I think I'm just too cool for them. :sly:

Knowing you enjoyed life more as a baby..

We, as Matty displayed. It's a big gear grinder to have to go all the way to the toilet. But when your a baby you can just let go and you always hear. "It's not hid fault he's just a baby." :sly: That would be the life. Though when nappy changing time comes along. :scared:

I don't have that problem.

I used to suffer the boredom problem. But now with GTP, GT5, a Suzuki 450 Farm Quad. :sly: I have all the entertainment I could need. I got to 50 KM/H on our driveway yesterday; I almost crashed when I looked down because I found myself heading towards a pile of sleepers when I looked up. It was time to take it off the power.

There isn't a description of him in the Bible, so we won't know for sure. That's if this man even exists.

But like I said in TFPT, it's ethnocentric iconography. We're white, so we assume he was also white.

I always thought it would be funny if someone named their child Jesus.
 
Having to back into the school for two hours AGAIN today grinds my gears. Why can't they do this when we start school again. :grumpy:

What grinds my gears? I can't buy a car until I fly home at the end of May.

I'm teasing myself by looking up what's on AutoTrader and... it's just not fair!

Carbs. I need so many and it's so much harder than I thought it would be to get the amount I need. For example I need 70g right now. I ate a chicken burger. I look at the package for the buns and it's only 30g. I was somewhat full, but had to than make myself a bread sandwich to get the carbs up. Yes a bread sandwich is only bread lol.
 
Pasta, pasta and more pasta?

Chicken, meat generally, are better for protein.

Try smearing some BBQ sauce or thousand island dressing on that. I don't know about the carbs but tastes way better.

Lol yes very true, but I had the chicken burger right there made. Eating huge amounts of pasta and bread sandwiches every day sucks.

Fixed.

Pasta is delicious. Can't tire of some cheese or cheese & tomato pasta.
 
The people on the new news story about Ford and other companies citing games for better sales. For one, people keep saying Porsche should put their cars in GT5 or try to get them in there. They can't! EA has the contract with them! Doesn't everyone know by now that EA has basically stolen Porsche.

Also, someone said we don't need more Ford's in the game because we have too many. Has that person counted the number of Honda's in the game?

Didn't the Porsche license run out?
Click to expand...

If so I wasn't aware because just a week ago I read something here on a wishlist someone wanted Porsche and someone had (recently) posted something about how that isn't possible because of the licensing contract.
 
I thought the Porsche license ran out at the same time as the Huayra license. Hopefully PD can get that license!

Exclusively! To shove it in EA and Turn 10's face!
 
:lol: Yea at least they'll be able to make it feel as though your driving a Porsche and not a Nissan Skyline. In Shift2 a Porsche GT3 RS is like driving an R32 Skyline in the game and is quite boring. Also the GT3 RS doesn't have the Grau with Rot wheels color scheme. :grumpy: (Practicing my German :p)

Man I really hate Shift 2. Honestly that's the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on a game, and I've bought all of the CoD games except MW3, so that's saying something. That really grinds my gears knowing I threw my money away on a piece of complete crap.

Anyways I think I posted about it before here and you agreed I believe. Maybe it was someone else.

I used to love NFS games but they are ruined now. Major gear grinder. And all of the racing noobs will continue to waste money on less than mediocre.racing games and not play good games like GT5.
 
Who says we want everyone to play GT5? It seems like kids play Need For Speed because it's more about supercars and stuff while GT5 is more about driving everyday/classic cars. But the Legends DLC should be in GT5 instead. I think MW3 is a bigger waste of money honestly which sucks since I'll only get $40 tops for it, that grinds my gears. Also my brother says he likes Shift more than GT5 so we can clearly see which is the better game. ;)
 
Good point about the kiddies. I mean, GRiD, that's got to be 3-4 years old by now at least, and it is miles better than any NFS game made since then. It's a way better arcade racer but it probably made way less money though it deserved more. And it had damage that was different depending on how you crashed and it didn't take rolling the care 20 times to wreck a car.

To me, Shift 2 is unplayable.
 
I liked the demo of GRID I played. Really fun and realistic. What grinds my gears? Some guy trying to sing Rush on American Idol. HOW DARE HE try to imitate the amazing Geddy Lee!
 
Maybe PD should clamp down on the Skyline license. :lol:

The global industry would be hit hard.
Imagine if another company took Nissan. PD would be in shambles.

Or the Miata/MX5/Eunos. I think they'd be hit even harder. I'd prefer 50 Skylines over 50 Miatas.
 
I'd prefer 50 more American/European cars. Of course, I understand that Kaz loves Nissan, and other Japanese companies so he would be in ruins without them, and I would be the same with American companies if I were in charge, but he needs to realize that not everyone playing the game loves Japanese cars because I sure as hell don't.
 
All the Japanese car love in America grinds my gears. In America I'd expect American cars to be bought, and would hope in Japan Japanese cars would be bought. But I know it's a global market blah blah...

Also, it sucks when you see a WWII Veteran driving a Japanese car.

Sorry for the double post.

I rather take 50 gunshots to the head than having 100 of those cars......

100 American cars?

You hate Japanese cars as much as I? Oh that would be great! Or is it that you're tired of the Japanese cars in GT5?
