The unAUTHENTIC DC Boards Lounge version 8.8

Who the f**k is Tim Howard?

One of the few American football players that have made a name for themselves in the EPL.

Good guy too.

 

[Darthphere]

What he do, kick it the length of the field all the way into the other goal while the other goallee was scratching his ass?

Pretty much.

 

[The Morningstar]

Is that supposed to make me angry that they call Football, Football instead of Soccer when American Football is the "Real Football"? (even though they use their feet far less than they do in What American's and other nations call Soccer.)

Well it doesn't.

Only America calls football soccer.

 

[Anubis]

Not true. South Africa, Canada, Australia, and a few others all call it Soccer.

Point is, Soccer/Football is the only sport that should actually be called Football.

 

[The Morningstar]

Ahh i did not know this. Thankyou please.

I've always liked the term "gridiron" for American Football. I don't know why, I don't know if it makes any sense, but i like it.

Pretty much anywhere that soccer isn't the primary football code...

I like Dominic Monaghans name for America Football 'Armored Catch' if your going to name sports like football by their literal meaning.

Aussie Rules Football, American Football, Rugby are all derived from (Soccer) English Football anyway.

Do they have those super fun motorcycle racing games over there

I met an epically hawt biker lady on one of those at an arcade four years ago.

She just walked up to the machine I was playing on climbed on the bike next to me and joined the game

We hooked up in a photo booth she showed me her motorbike which was a thing of beauty and then when I went to get change to play the crane game when I came back she was gone

I was gonna win her a unicorn

they did, it was awesome. and then i totally won some random korean chicks stuffed animals at the dart game where you pop the balloons...i just wanted to throw darts

if by derived from you mean that they were invented to give people something insanely more interesting and fun to play then yes. it's kinda like how eevee evolves into flareon, jolteon, or vaporeon, all of which are more powerful and awesome than eevee. sure there are some people who still like eevee, but those people are either too poor to buy an element stone and evolve eevee or 9 yr olds.

 

[Mystirious]

Going out tonight with the girlfriend for dinner and then onwards to a superhero theme night which should be fun. We're going as Eclipso and Mary Marvel

I'll be Mary Marvel naturally because I am so innocent and sweet >.>

Awwwww

I love those games but I kind of suck at them. Glad to hear you did well and won some nice presents for people

And those racing games are fun on a bun More arcades should have them

Armoured catch is a pretty epic sounding name for a sport

except that it's not really accurate. it's becoming more accurate in the nfl anymore, but in hs and college it's still not nearly so much passing as it is running the ball.

i wish i could find that buffy clip where giles watches his first football game.


but yeah, i used to be almost pro level at darts. found a shop over here and all the bars have real boards!!! not like back in the states where most places have those electronic ****s.

Do you throw them sober or after you've knocked back a few?

Darts was the only game I could play in a bar after I had to pay 300 bucks for scratching a pool table.

Its been a fear I've carried since.

 

[lixdexia]

either way. i don't play drunk, but when i was throwing regularly my control was such that half lit i was still good enough to win money and better than most folks.

That's pretty cool actually

It sounds like your having a pretty great time over there

That would put me off playing the game as well

[Mystirious]

Good luck!

What are you thinking of going to see if you do check out the movie theatre

 

[lixdexia]

i dunno. what's out right now? i've already seen MI:4 and i saw the new sherlock holmes tonight. is there anything else good out?

 

[Mystirious]

Haven't spotted anything here in the UK but I know some films come out earlier in other countries

Is The Woman in Black out over there yet? That looks pretty neat

And I've been hearing good things about The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo remake

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Young Adult is good.

 

[chamber-music]

I watched The Guard the other night it was ok. I liked Mark Strongs depressed drug dealer character.

The Women In Black is coming out February 10th in the UK and the 12th in the U.S

Ciarán Hinds is it. Ciran Hinds is in everything. His in 5 movies a year some times.

 

[Mystirious]

That makes me suspect that he's cloning himself

Young Adult is good.

What's that one about Corp

 

[TheCorpulent1]

A f***ed up ex-prom queen whose life is a meaningless, repetitive bore returns to her hometown to steal her ex-boyfriend away from his wife and newborn daughter because she's convinced herself that they're soul mates. It's by Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman, the same writer/director team behind Juno.

 

[Mystirious]

That sounds like it could be either hilarious or depressing

Or both

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's a bit of both. The ending will probably take on wildly different meanings to everyone who watches it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The Adventures of Tin Tin is another biggish movie out right now, besides what's been mentioned already. I haven't seen it myself but hear solid things.
