For us drug users......THIS was their best song. 80 mg of Oxy, 30 mg valium or a xanax tab, turn this on and get ready to touch the face of God.


edit: I am not suggesting anyone actually take those drugs. 16

A man after my own heart... wink
I had actually been listening to surrealistic pillow in the car a lot since the turn of the year. No real reason(!) except it had been years since I'd heard it & dusted it off.
But this is still their best song for me: tho I adore the performance of white rabbit & it's up there no doubt one of best ever, somebody to love is just a perfect universal pop song

Haha! Nah my high rank disguises the fact I've gotten really sloppy. I'm a giant n00b these days on gta. I've still got the smarts when it comes to freeroam street battles but missions/heists I'm all over the place. Used to be the opposite & I could grind missions all day. Now I'm using snacks & armour like they're going out of fashion.

Found myself rage quitting a bit lately. Used to be in the days of the snes I'd just smash the controller but that's not an option anymore. Not since the advent of wireless controllers with the wavebird.
So now I'm sat beside the ps4 & can reach the off/eject button.. Fucked up a Pacific standard the other week.
Had to send an apology to my mate the next day. He was incredibly understanding tho - I'd have just told me to fuck off & wise up!

I didn't think the time difference was that bad (5hours or so?) but then I see you sometimes on my what's new list & think fuckin hell.. There's a chance I'm getting up for work while you're still playing some mornings/nights probably - & I should probably take the day off work & jump on gtao! I used to do that actually.. It's a good game!

Even by CR standards that's a stupid fucking piece.

I wonder tho with all these old talking heads spouting their 2cents if GnR view it as having a negative impact? I would figure not given they've always lived with the idea that even bad publicity is good publicity & I guess crap articles like this are a perfect case in point, but it is deflating seeing the same old geezer talk the same old shit, whereas an official press release or an interview would, for a time at least, stop all this garbage & undermine these old farts from getting earning a cheap buck as mouthpieces for GnR..

Off today so got a bit time spent with the division there. Fun enough game. Gameplay seems a little.. dull?? On the opening couple of missions it's a very typical co-op cover shooter.
I played on normal difficultly & the bad guys were still bullet sponges but didn't offer much in the way of a fight - hard might improve their smarts, was able just to camp & see it thru both solo & with friends. Maybe bumping up difficultly will add an extra tactical element to it.

If you're willing to commit to the whole game you'd prob have a good bit of fun but I think you would need a dedicated & organised crew/group & it's whether you really want to be bothered investing the time necessary for the grind.. You know the way these things go by now. No real surprises so far tbh.
I don't think I'll do the full game, it's a time sink I'm not willing or able to commit to.

It looks good but the dialogue already had me rolling my eyes/cringing.
In terms of relation to Ubisoft games, typically the map is very busy but in terms of layout it doesn't seem too similar to far cry/assassins creed. You have bulletin boards to uncover the map instead of watchtowers etc.


Will prob go back on to gta this evening & the weekend. Not much on in the way of sports & not really any other games to distract me.

That is brilliant. Funny cause it's true.

Bravehearts got nothing on the state I'm going to be in at one of these gigs! It's definitely going to be one of these gigs I remember nothing about.
That's if it happens of course.

As an avid football fan I'm a firm believer in the annoying/old cliche, you make your own luck.

Other cliches I'm particularly fond of: it's a game of inches (see Pacino any given Sunday - different sport same universal cliches apply), bad time to concede/scored too early, the cultured left foot, they/he like to play football..
Oh another one I just heard - it wasn't in the script! Love it!

#1179 Re: Guns N' Roses » Nightrain Official Site » 559 weeks ago

That 3 leaf clover is a shamrock..?? It's a 4 leaf clover that brings good luck tho. My brother actually found 2 4 leaf clovers once (cause, as logic would dictate, once you find one you'll have the good luck to find another). Unfortunately he married a real bitch so I dunno how much value they really have..
