It was awesome! Back when I first started playing, there was only about 6 of us playing against each other, and we had a particular undeveloped stretch of land (our 'field') that we played on. It had a lake, and several lightly wooded areas broken up by trails. And in particular, it had a hill that was heavily overgrown, but the hill itself was surrounded by a wide open area on 3 sides, and by almost impassable woods on the 4th side.

So we invented a game of 'King of the Hill' as an initiation for new teammates. The newbie would be given a flag that he'd have to plant on the hill somewhere; he'd have to guard it for 10 minutes while everyone else on our team would assault the hill, and try to take the flag back to the 'Neutral Zone' at the far end of the field. I don't anyone who had to guard the hill ever actually won that game, but it was always a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Just having a look through my old photos from the summer.

Heres Nero at Bestival in the summer of 2011.

Working the festivals.

Waiting for the next set to film, Kesha said no to us fiming her set.

The other hit I deserved; I chose not to surrender when given the opportunity, so I got shot just below my armpit at a range of less than 5 feet by a gun that was shooting at about 350 feet per second. Got about a 3 inch long bruise from that one.

That could fracture a bone. There's was this person over in Australia who shot a kid with a marker while playing from less than 1 metre. Fractured a bone in his arm.

I'm back, still awake, after a hectic day of paintball.

Lol Aussie has some insane rules, like about uhm...their rules on videogames/ movies.

What others? I only know about the 18+ thingy, which I don't find troublesome...

Once you get your Learners permit, you must complete a theory test, book an assessment, (if pass assessment) drive for 25 hours with a licensed driver (Now updated to 125 hours) and wait 6 months. You then have 2 phases of P plates. First "red", which only allows you to drive between 5am-12 midnight and then "green" which allows you to drive at any time.

Aussies have really fucked up law, but it's ruled by lawyers so go figure.
You'd be surprised how much work they have to do to ban manga and anime there.

They just announce it's banned and voila, banned.

Seriously, Aussies are pussies.

Can turn out to be useful, more often than not, provided the higher-ups are righteous.

Nah, in my day, we were made of sterner stuff. It hurt like hell, but it healed in a few days and I was fine. I was 17 or 18 at the time, so it's not like I was completely a kid then. Amazingly, I've never broken a bone (and hope to keep it that way), except for possibly a toe once.

Marathoned Fate/Zero did not disappoint, best sub plot ever, i hope to find the same in Gun x Sword.

Havoc10K · « **Reply #3792 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:23:26 AM »

It's not a sub plot, It's a prelude to Fate Stay/Night, explains what happened 10 years ago. Season 2 will explain much more as we still didn't see much actually.

hanayome · « **Reply #3793 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:33:31 AM »

F/S N made sense to me even though I didn't watch F/Z.

Yeah it's quite amazing that Shiro even managed to get where he is today since Emiya Kiritsugu was constantly targeted because Kirei knew Kiritsugu had something that he did not, this apparent fact made worse by Gilgamesh, i guess he wasn't a gold obsessed king for nothing.

I guess I need to watch it to make sense of that.
