That's the funniest thing i've seen in a long while
What a fantastic day. I've been watching The Olympics since 9.00AM this morning. The Rowing, Cycling and Athletics have been superb. All that and two matches in the mixed doubles tennis that were superbly entertaining add up to one of the best days sport I've ever witnessed as a Brit.
Only Intrepid could fail to be proud to be British after that lot
Glad you enjoyed it Racer It seems most of the world did.
I see a few Americans were a bit confused, so we must have done something right (though to be fair to them, having seen some of the coverage from NBC I'm not surprised they were confused. With all the stuff they cut out of it, and the amount of advert breaks inserted into it, along with some complete arseholes presenting the show, it was a complete mess. Nothing like what actually happened. NBC, you're a disgrace)
Our dear Queen is an oddball. On one hand she amazingly agrees to take part in a very funny sketch, on the other hand she looked like the most miserable old bag I've ever seen. I have visions of Intrepid pulling the same miserable face all the way through the ceremony.
The only place I've seen mass discontent amongst Brits with the ceremony was on the Daily Mail website comments section, of which I'm sure you frequent. Only there could what we saw be interpreted as "left wing nonsense" Bunch of narrow minded miserable bastards who really should leave Britain, as all of your ilk ever do is moan about our country.
It was a great ceremony. Not perfect, but very British indeed. Quirky, funny, at times chaotic. Visually very impressive. Told the story of many things Britain is rightly very proud of.
It's not often I'm proud to be British these days, but that ceremony certainly reminded me of why we should indeed be proud.
You can cringe, piss and moan as much as you like. I'm delighted your not happy with your taxes being spent on this wonderful festival of sport.
As much as I love Derek and Clive and loath Mr Bean I do at least have the common sense to realise that Derek and Clive were hardly appropriate for such a ceremony and Mr Bean is recognised and hugely popular world wide. Not my cup of tea, but the perfect choice for a world wide audience in that sort of show.
Mr Bean is as much "real British humour" as anything. Silly slapstick humour is as British as it gets.
Meh, It recognises the pedals now, but all the axis are reversed I cant find a way to get the axis the correct way round, so I'd forget it for now Joe.
I guess its down to how you describe sandbox.
I've always gone with this defininiton
What does Sandbox mean?
Sandbox is a style of game in which minimal character limitations are placed on the gamer, allowing the gamer to roam and change a virtual world at will. In contrast to a progression-style game, a sandbox game emphasizes roaming and allows a gamer to select tasks. Instead of featuring segmented areas or numbered levels, a sandbox game usually occurs in a “world” to which the gamer has full access from start to finish.
DayZ has no real goal apart from surviving. You are free achieve that in whatever way you see fit with whatever tools you can find, on any part of the map that you like. No rules, no restrictions. Pretty much sums up a sandbox game to me.
