Be Excellent To Each Other

Well, at least with me doing the early shift and you doing the late shift, we're doing the Bezzies a service by providing at least one of us at all times...

wegot only 2 days of paternity leave, the rest was saved holiday days for me

Thank you for my photo.

You're most welcome.

You little late night sneaker you. Did you wait for Ange to fall asleep so you could bowl a few googlies? You looked very red btw.

Ange went to bed before we finished Forza. I was quite drunk by that point so thought that staying up playing HL2 was a good idea.

I don't remember what I did in it, either.

Well judging by your photo, you trimmed your beard like Gordon Freeman and covered yourself in blusher.

I found a feather boa on the floor as well.

And decisions yet, Mr Chris?

I am going to assert my authoritah and say yes to your very kind offer.

PM to follow.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

YIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! BEZZIE KISSYFUR!!!!!!

Careful Grim... - he might try and pay you in small children.

Ooooh, there's an idea.

Now, anyone know where I can get cheapo copies of COD 4 and Forza 2, if those are the games you Bezzies are still playing? Also - headset.

Also - Live membership - how do I do that?

It's a good start. CoD4 is hard to get cheap, it was £32 (I think) in CEX yesterday. Forza 2 is really cheap everywhere.

About £3 preowned in Gamestation I think.

Best deals I've seen are £30ish for 13 months.

Ewww, I wouldn't use someone else's headset.

That raises questions as to what you do with yours.

Does it go inside your mouth or something? I'm pretty sure it's not meant to, myp.

I love it up and down until it says stop.

Yes!! I got my 13months of LIVE off Ebay for about £24 so worth a look on there. Grim... might have a spare headset anyway as he would have got one with his Elite and I would have thought he would have had one before that?

I'll send you a headset, but it might not work.

Not the original description didn't include a power brick either, but I'll send you one because I'm SUPER NICE.

Much obliged, sir. Do please leave any wax it may have accumulated - I am hoping to be able to clone you.


HAHAHA.

Excellent. You were heading towards being the sort of person who ends up on Watchdog there.

When the 360 was released there were a bunch of people flogging pictures of XBox 360s on ebay - ah, here we go

I actually have a spare, unused headset if anyone really wants one.

So Forza 2 is selling for £7 + £2 postage on amazon.

I've got a copy (that has "Bundle Copy" written on the box in massive letters) that I'll sell you £5 all in.

Played it twice. The nicest thing I can say about it is that it is not for me.

If he doesn't want it, I'll take it, my brother doesn't have Forza and he's just got a box and online

Burny Pee is 25 quid in the Play.com summer sale.

pound cheaper at shopto.net, so good if you got the 2 quid voucher off eurogamer.

I can get you one for no money whatsoever, the drawback being that it'll been a long-tem loan rather than a sell.

Haven't looked at mine in months since I fear change and can't get my head around playing a FPS with the joypad so you'd be welcome to use it.

I'd like to point out that everytime I see this thread title, it makes me want to post this:

"You can't cop no bail."

That is all.

Ooh, heavens - that's very kind. So yes, please, that would be excellent!


This, also, is wonderfully kind - Before I say yes I will have to dig out a list of the things I have which I can pass round in return.

Syphilis
An old broom
Apples

That's about it, really.

Fruit or computers?

It's fruit isn't it?

Yeah, sadly it's fruit. I think I've only got one left, now, and they're not exactly reusable.

Pips!

I'll take the broom. Cheers.

Ok cool! (Sorry Duds!)

PM me you address and I'll post it off. But probably not till Monday.

Turns out I had a headset after all.
Don't get too excited about the Elite box when it arrives, Mr. Chris - it's just a plain old premium inside

I have no idea what the difference is, Grim.... It could have "Super Cheap Basic Version" written on it and I'd still have no idea what to expect. I am very much, and in all senses, a 360 nooby virigin.

Basically the differences are:

It's black.
It has 100GB extra storage space on the HDD.
It's black.
It has an HDMI port (which the newer normal ones do now anyway).
It's black.

I don't know what those acronyms mean.

Which is black?

The Elite is black. The Premium is white.

GB stands for 'gigabyte'.
HDMI is a type of connection that hi-definition TVs (televisions) use.
HDD stands for 'hard disk drive'.

I'm sure that at least some of this is patronising - I hope so, anyway.

Not Vin Diesel

HE IS BLECK.

I hate you.

Vinneerial Dizeezle is black, yo.

Word, my brother.

That's my Elite he's describing - yours is white with a 20GB hard drive and I really, really hope the Devil May Cry game is in the box.

Remove 'those' and add an 's' to the end - those were initialisms. </pedant>

Thankfully, the meanings of words evolve and pretty much any engrish speaching person would interpret the word the same as I do - you are the only person in the known universe* who has ever used the word "initialism".


*That I have, er, come across. As it were.

Initialism - a name or term formed from the initial letters of a group of words and pronounced as a separate word, as NATO for North Atlantic Treaty Organization; an acronym.
