    Conker's Bad Fur Day anyone?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,853 ✭✭✭ragg


    There was a thread on here about some company (in dublin 8 i think) selling kettle bell instriction course and a free 16kg kettle bell - it seems to have been deleted, does anyone remember the company name? Long shot I know, but i'd rather give the money to an irish company and get the free instruction course then buy off an english online firm.

    Thanks

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me


    yea, theres nothing like decapitating zombies left and right as you charge through!, i think ive been killed by allies more than zombies cause i just run right in!

    btw, speaking of games, is anyone else having bitching trouble in COD MW2 Spec ops, the echo ones?

    I don't remember any great beat-em-ups tbh.
    You young whipper snappers probably don't even remember target renegade - careful you don't drool on the keyboard in awe at the graphics

    altho my favorite game of all time was a side scrolling ninja game on the sega megadrive, was so freakin hard!
    you want to get yourself the mame emulator and get the original arcade shinobi and splatterhouse.

    Virtua Fighter on the Saturn... now there's a game.

    Great game, requires alot of skill to pull off the moves. Fighting Vipers on the Saturn also was very similar. Been meaning to take my Saturn down from the attic over the past few months but its lost amongst all the other crap up there :(

    is anybody else getting dns time out errors (white page) everytime they try to open a thread, or is it just me? :(

    DNS is ISP specific, different ones for different internet providers.

    Try using google DNS? http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html

    thanks for reply man, but i do know what DNS is (mcse, ccna) - i am using eircom as primary and open dns for secondary and no probs on any other sites, it appears to be just boards? :confused:

    Is L4D2 any good single player? On a serious zombie buzz at the moment after reading World War Z, have also got the Zombie Survival Guide for Crimbo :pac:

    Haven't got XBL / internet at home, having trouble getting it setup :(

    i'd suggest waiting. the best thing about the game is the teaming element to it.
    Playing with 4 people over live is the ultimate in social gaming. Some of the laughs you have is unreal. The people we play with range from people who just scream swear words, to chatters, to really serious gamers.

    Really is a good laugh

    i had a quick look round the net when cardio posted that vid but cant find anything more recent ... the 961kg seems to be the latest, but thats still some f*****g achievement, even if he never progresses any further:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,338 ✭✭✭the drifter

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me

    It's kind of depressing, seeing a 21-year-old kid Squat 251kg more than I've ever even dared put on the bar!

    Still, fair play to him.... I guess :(

    I was depressed last night so I called Lifeline.

    Got a freakin’ call center in Afghanistan.


    I told them I was suicidal.
    They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.
