World of Tanks - Cockbites a Bound

I continue my current run of game play with a bit more world of tanks - I've got screenshots of my games and replays to record if anyone were interested - but you're not.

So, I'll jump to something which is publicly available and which I've already touched on, my play stats.

I am still sick and tired of people incorrectly using XVM mods with the stats enabled to cry havoc at people, last night was a good one, some twat kid in a Matilda whom has had an account since March and only unlocked two tier 5 tanks on the Russian line and up to the Matilda (according to my viewing his player profile - 23rd March he started playing - I unlocked my Crusader in under a weeks playing quite casually - so this guy must be shit) and I noticed this guy had no artillery unlocked, he's not played them... yet he quite happily sat there calling me a noob... "Shoot noob arty"... "shoot"... the fact that, a) they were not spotted - hence I had no idea where to aim b) had already shot and was reloading and the reload is SLOW on a Grille (without any crew skills or a gun rammer I was) and c) he has no fucking idea how they play himself... I was the noob... No "nico__30" you're the cock bite noob, and I told you so - this replay will go up soon.

But that evenings play was not a total bust I played the Grille last, just once before selling it - I have it elite'd but don't like how arty play now - and wanted a garage slot for my Comet - coming soon.

My run of wins ran through all three Brit tanks I played and out into my German line, and I had some real fun, getting my mastery badge on a couple and some massive results.

But then I thought I'd sort out my JagdPanzer IV streak, it was down around 46%, and I want all my tanks to be over 50% win rate.  So I started to play, and it was just dire, first match out I was dead in seconds, even with binoculars I didn't see the IS who ammo-racked me, and from his position I had no idea he could see me, maybe a forward scout spotting for him, maybe a cheater, whatever it was I just exploded... and the evening continued like that for me in my JadgPanzer IV.

40% win rate I pulled out of it in the end, and then I played the infamous Grille game mentioned above and thought - fuck it I'm going to bed.

but this was not before Mr Jingles passed 100,000 subscribers, he was at 100,004 when I looked earlier in the evening and was over 100,300 this morning, so good on him!

I'm not going to even attempt to run for his competitions, I don't get games like that, my games are mediocre and for my own laughs.

And I say that because though I'm there having a laugh, I seem to meet every cockbite going, I really do, nico__30 is just the latest in a long line of cockbites, and I hope that little shit chokes on the next dong he swallows... "hmmmm yes my headmaster"... slurp slurp slurp... cockbite!

Oh and I just noticed, I'm in the top 10 Crusader drivers on the EU server, I'm actually second, suck on that nico__30 you prick.

LOTRO - Disappointing English

I played LOTRO when it first came out, I played a Dwarf and soon hated it.  At the time I was not willing to pay for the game - and since it went Free to play that barrier has been removed, I still don't play it, and I had to ask myself why?

Well, the look and feel of the game, I don't like, its awkward looking and I remember it looking pretty dated.  Things might have changed, but I'm simply not willing to download the mammoth sized download just to find out.  And I don't trust other peoples rigs capturing video, because their rig is not my rig.

But I don't think things have turned up very much in the quality, not least because this game representing one of the biggest names in English Literature, a book which sold so much in the twentieth century as to overshadow everything around it... this ENGLISH book through and through gets advertising mail like this:

"Through August 6"... its so yankie doodle fucking dandie.  Its not even correct English, and I hate that...

"Join the festivities from now until the 6^th of August" would have been the more correct, Hobbiton, fashion of writing this, and its more meaningful.  The moment I see US tailored brain dead English like this I disengage with the topic, I don't want to have to wade through it, if you work in PR, then for god sake work in Language, not colloquialisms.

I think this is a personal peeve with the slap dapse approach to PR from across the Pond in the US of A, a better example of this might have been the birth of Britains new top baby boy, Prince George.

Lots of US news outlets were reporting him to be a new "to be" KING OF ENGLAND.  We don't have kings or queens of England, its the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (not to forget all the commonwealth realms - Canada & Anzac loving vibes to all - across the globe)... But oh no "England" they came up with... Hey ho...

Maybe when Scotland vote on their independence the US news-tards can get that all to cock and someone will give a shit, they don't seem to give a shit when they piss off the English, but you pick on a "minority" and you get focus.

Its more like a J and a U - Amazon Delivery

So the BBC are covering the news that Amazon are shaking up their delivery charges system, and the BBC describe it as a "U" turn...

The super saver delivery was introduced in 2009... that's four years... to its less of an immediate sounding U and more of an over time "J" that Amazon has reversed the decision in, and the decision doesn't seem to cover everything.

Books, CD's, DVD's and the like are not covered and remain possibly free to deliver.

It does annoy me when the BBC get someone reporting like this from their soap box, its most certainly a personal opinion in this case and to flagrantly describe it negatively as an immediate sounding U turn, when its clearly a longer term strategy is just poor reporting.

About the decision though, one does have to question whether this is a move now to maximise profits as Amazon has shut down and cornered many competitors, such as Play, and now Amazon feel enabled to charge.

I will say I for one will not be going out my way to pay delivery, and paying a charge may reduce my orders from Amazon, but will it stop be using Amazon?.. Probably not, and that's more a sign of how ubiquitous their services are now compared to ten years ago.

Parking Ticket

So, my wife threw me a good one, she got a parking ticket the other week, and assured me she had not seen the signs "the notice to pay elsewhere was way over on the ticket machine, and the notice was the same shade of pink as the ones saying the machines were out of order because of vandalism"..."so from that distance I assumed they were still vandalised as before".

I trusted this and I sent in the informal appeal....

Yeah, the chaps at the other end must have been pissing themselves at this explanation, because the wife was parked square in front of the machine, which clearly could be read even in the grainy black and white photo they sent back.

"I couldn't read it"... Get yours eyes tested love, cus even the fucking dog can read that fucking notice on this shitty 420x360 pixel image.

Pokemon Cock Fighting

I just heard the strangest analogy...

"Pokemon is like cock fighting"

Weirdly yes, yes it is.... Gotta catch'em all.

RIP Mel Smith

I am so sad to see the news of Mel Smith passing away, I loved his work, the really strange thing is though... I mentioned him to the wife just yesterday, we were talking about funny things, and one of the funniest things I've seen - least when I was a kid - and it still makes myself and my brother laugh when we mention it, was his playing "Gregorio" the opera singer who has an inadvertent "wank" whilst singing.

To demonstrate, the man himself:

Steam Green Light - 7 Days to Die

If I were you folks, I'd log into steam and give this a thumbs up, I plan on buying it!
