Can all you Nintendo fan-boy Mario lovers just stop trying to rip out the Xbox. Coming from me? Oh my god! The Nintendo man himself?!!! er-no is sticking up for not the company he believes in, but the industry he believes in. Gaming.
Microsoft has done more good than bad, and yet most of you are very stupid to see that. With Microsoft around, Sony and Nintendo must watch their own backs and also what games they make and which licences they buy.
For all of us. Yes! ALL OF US. This means better games. Otherwise we wouldn't have gotten the really great Mac game Halo on the XBox. We also wouldn't have the potentional of really great online RPG's on the console format.
I hate the company. Don't get me wrong. Microsoft are giant idiots in real life. I actually really don't like the console (itself) either. Yet I see what they are trying and the potential of what is under its black belly. Amazing games can be made for it, just like amazing games can be made for the other two consoles.
Ever since Nintendo (of the UK) said I couldn't have work experience for them I decided that as a company they are just like the rest (apart from Mac), they are crapheads. Only one individual is Nintendo, that is Shigsy himself. Anyways. Back to the point.
The Xbox is not crap, and with Microsoft as its company it WILL not fail, the can not be bargained with and it will not stop. Until we are dead...
..probably took that a bit too far.
You get what I mean.
Shut up fan boys.
Gaming is gaming bloody hell, apart from EA. They are crap. Hate them.
er-no
The turned one.

Teachers... They have an easy life :D GCSE's are important to me as they are a stepping stone for later life, they aren't the end of the world but without them I can't forfil my dreams of entering the Marines as an Officer as it requires 7 GCSE's A-C (I only class C or above a pass as anything below doesn't really warrant) and 3 A-Levels D or above. I have got 4 pieces of Course-work hanging over my head and I am going to have to get on with them before I really give up hope on starting to write the 1500 word Religous Studies Essay (by far my worst subject, I got 22% in the end of term exma and cam bottom of the class, having said that I got 4 A's on the lead up to the course-work so as of yet I don't know where I stand even though the teacher thinks I will pass with at least a B :D)
If all else fails I will become a teacher earn money or nothing and get loads of holidays :D ah... Life can be so much fun when in the planning stages... Such a shame about the practical side :(

Ah, GCSEs are easy anyway... well, I haven't got my results back yet, but... well, they're easy... :D
And remember teachers making a big fuss over the SATs exams saying how important they were, then next year telling you no-one ever looks at them? It's like that with GCSEs. Stat A-levels and the teachers will inform you no-one gives a rats a** what you got for your GCSEs... oh cruel world...

Its a good job I don't take Fren... Hang on a minute...
*pulls out tissue and dabs eyes, grabs bucket and cries*
Oh well as satin says "without a dictionary the exam will be easier so stop moaning"! I then reply... (Use your imagination and fill in with what you think)! Can't be too bad as my course-work marks have been pretty good, I have finished all my pieces and I am going in with 48/60 marks so I am happy with that :D Just got to get my head down over the next 9 months and hopefully with carefull preperations everything should go OK!

BWA HA HA! That means your year is the first year to not be allowed dictionaries in French! :D
We weren't gonna be allowed, but they changed at the last minute!

I am 15, 16 in 8 weeks :)! Can't wait to get my 5.1 system...
Anyway, I have always been taught to not use And and Because to start sentences and as of yet we havent't been told any different and I suppose going into my final year I don't think it will change. I try to punctuate properly even when not at school because it will get me into the habbit before I start my GCSE's *Holds Anti-GCSE cross*! I will use it after commas and semi-colons but until I hear otherwise I won't bother with putting it after full-stops.

Garbe, just out of interest how old are you...? Cos when I was young we were always taught to never start sentances with 'And' but when we got older they said, yeah, you can, just don't do it too much and use it to create a kind of effect... like you're messing with the rythmn of how it reads to emphasise certain bits and stuff... If you start sentances with 'And' and so it to good effect they give you more marks or something...
Anyway... fan-boys... yeah...

I didn't see the joke but nice try Sibs :D I was always taught not to start sentences with and but they can be used after commas and semi-colons. Anyway less of the school I have 2 weeks left yet and I will be damned if I talk about that place before I go back... Damn I just talked about it!
*Hair falls out and eyes start to bag*
Damn you Sibs! :)

You can start sentances with 'And' actually... but only if you can do it with style. Like me. And Stryke.

The problem I have is that when it is aimed towards the console I own I automatically take it as a personal insult when really it is due to their ignorance of other consoles on the market. From now on even when aimed at the Xbox I will take the... I mean it as one big joke (although both apply if you can fill in the missing letter). Tonight boxcar_boy came back to lay another set of insults down on both the Xbox, Edgy, Tom, Gamezfreak and myself, but at the end of the day he is the only loser in that situation as he has gained enemies and a bad reputation. The silly boy even resorted to telling me that my Tag-line is wrong as there should be a space between Maximum and Payne, lol, does he think I didn't do it on purpose or what? Like I wouldn't notice if I had mis-spelt or typed my tag-line incorrectly! This was after I told him not to start sentenced with And and to stop text speaking as it made him look worse than he already did (trust me he looked a fool).
I could see that he was getting to Edgy quite a bit which was very unfair as Edgy doesn't even own an Xbox, but when telling boxhead_bo... I mean boxcar_boy this he just said that Edgy was an Xbox fanboy, lol! Most of the peopel who drop thread and posts of this nature are from the Nintendo forum but there have been a few Playstation 2 owners and even 1 Xbox one that said the GameCube was rubbish because it was small and looked liked a Lunch-Box, what is going on in the minds of people like this. I don't speak about the other consoles in a derogitory mannor becuase I like to keep opinions liket that to myself and others don't want to listen about why I don't want to buy a different console, to be honest its boring!
