Has anyone ever tried jamming a straw into an orange?

I'd argue that would be better. I enjoy eating oranges but don't really care for orange juice because it doesn't really taste like as I'd expect (i.e. like an orange)

have you ever tried to open a coconut? fawking impossible

Hammer > nail > straw to get the juice out, then hammer again to crush it for the pulp.

why would you even sign up to a new internet forum in 2013? it's such an antiquated form. and it's not as if they're paragons of maturity and quality like they were back in the 'golden era' of the internet, as the sort of ultra-nerdy alternative to IM chatting/chat-rooms. i don't think i visit a single forum thesedays that i didn't sign up for at pre-18 sort of age.

I hate forums, this one isn't too bad

It was weird, because apparently you can't talk about any action they take. People would get permabanned and you'd have no idea about what happened to them, but you couldn't ask because it's apparently Soviet Russia and they're persona non grata. Pretty much all forums have rules that say "don't flame, use excessive swearing, or insult other members" but most mods know to enforce that rather lightly. I got called out previously for swearing. They've got a shitload of mods for how many active users they have, so I imagine at some point the userbase will consist solely of autistic suckups and people wielding their "power".

I fail to see what this has to do with drinking coconut milk, guys. Let's get back on track.

(on pain of spastic power tripping)

i moderated the xfire forums for a while, back in the hey-day, when xfire was bigger than and predated steam friends/steam community. i was about 14. 15 at a stretch. i wielded that authority like a true lord. i had so many autistic gamer suck-ups - from the early tweens to fully-grown suckish adults, the sort that play second life for 12 hours a day as a feline wolf-man avatar. i was a god in that community. i was even in special 'xfire staff' groups/chat conferences, despite the fact they were all proper professional businessmen  sat in menlo park. i was one of only two forum moderators that weren't moved out to san fran to live and work on site. the other was some super nerdy amateur coder finnish guy. i told a few white-lies and they were all convinced i was 18+.

it won't be going on my CV.

My phone autocorrects cunt to Finray hahaha

The EA-UK forums when BF3 just came out in 2011 were very good. But now they integrated it with battlelog which is shit.

I kinda want to buy Guns of Icarus since it's on sale, but the only gameplay I've seen has been from groups of gamers playing. I'll bet the fun is dramatically reduced trying to get some randomers to do what needs to be done. I reckon it'd be fun like the big naval battles in BF1942 where you had a shitload of people repairing and defending the battleships.

Another weekend another UFC event. Main event is a rematch for the title between Bigfoot Silva and Cain Velasquez. Expectations aren't too high for the event since the first fight was so lopsided.

Double or nothing.
