JokeHell yes that hurt like hell!memberNaerling26 Feb '13 - 11:43 
A wedding occurred, just outside Cavan in Ireland.
To keep tradition going, everyone got pissed and the bride's and groom's families had a storming rage and begin wrecking the reception room and generally kicking the crap out of each other.
The police get called in to break up the fight.
The following week, all members of both families appear in court.
The fight continues in the court room until the judge finally brings calm with the use of his hammer, shouting "Silence in Court."
The court room goes silent and Paddy (the best man) stands up and says, "Judge.. I was the best man at the wedding and I think I should explain what happened."
The judge agrees and asks Paddy to take the stand.
Paddy begins his explanation by telling the court that it is traditional in a Cavan wedding that the best man gets the first dance with the Bride.
The judge says "OK."
"Well", said Paddy, "After I had finished the first dance, the music kept going, so I continued dancing to the second song, and after that the music kept going and I was dancing to the third song... when all of a sudden the groom leapt over the table, ran towards us and gave the bride an unmerciful kick in her privates."
The judge instantly responded... "God. that must have hurt!"
Paddy replies "HURT!.. He broke three of my damn fingers!"
It's an OO world.

JokeBJOTDmemberihoecken26 Feb '13 - 5:55 
A very attractive lady goes up to a bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the bartender who comes over immediately. When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face closer to hers. When he does, she begins to gently caress his full beard.
 
"Are you the manager?" she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands. "Actually, no," the man replies.
 
"Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him," she says, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.
 
"Can't," breathes the bartender. "He's not here. Is there anything I can do?"
 
"Yes, there is. I need you to give him a message," she continues, running her forefinger across the bartender's lips and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently.
 
"What should I tell him?" the bartender manages to say.
 
"Tell him," she whispers, "there is no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies room."

RantSometimes I'm astonishedmemberihoecken26 Feb '13 - 5:11 
Yes. I'm a Roleplaying-Gamer. Normally pen'n'paper but I like also computer RPGs.
I just finished Witcher 2 and because it was available for 10 Euros only (it's like given as a present) I spent myself Dragon Age Origins. I read the Tests and they alls said "Great Computer RPG", "Future of Roleplaying", "RPGs should be that way"!
 
I don't know, but I think I'm playing not the game they tested. The graphics are worse than those of the 2 years older Witcher 1, the dialogs are lame, the speakers are $hit (I'm playing the German version, perhaps that is better for the English version). There is no atmosphere in the game. Everything looks the same. No lighting, no deep shadows. It's not even a RPG it's just a hack'n'slay with a predictable story. (I just played 15 hours).
 
Sometimes I hate computer-magazines. 10 Euros are to much for this title. I just wish I knewed it earlier. Mad | :mad:

GeneralRe: Sometimes I'm astonishedmvpOriginalGriff26 Feb '13 - 8:19 
I've got both the Witcher games - because I read the books by Andrzej Sapkowski and they are good. And the games were both going cheap on GoG.com
 
But...I've started playing the first one, but not got too far because the controls just get me killed all the time - I guess I'll get used to them if I play it enough, but in the early stages they just get in the way. If the damn camera would just stay still when I try to hit something it would help lots.

I think there was a way to setup the camera, it was a key or button that wasn't descibed properly.

GeneralRe: Sometimes I'm astonishedmemberFreak3026 Feb '13 - 22:04 
The biggest problem with Witcher 1 is that chapter 1 and 2 are the hardest ones, because Geralt is quite unskilled at that time. After that it gets easy (except for two or three boss battles). When you start a new game you can choose between two control types. I always chose mounse-only and never bothered trying the other one. The camera is normally quite steady in this one.
 
Unfortunately, Witcher 2 is not quite as good. I couldn't bring myself to continue playing after Act 2. The constant crashing and numerous bugs don't help either.
 
Droagon Age: Origins was great the first time through and still nice the second time but has very low reaplay value compared to e.g. Neverwinter Nights 2. The classes have very limited skill options and there are not many character combinations that make a party able to survive any but the easiest battles.
GeneralRe: Sometimes I'm astonishedmember0bx27 Feb '13 - 3:12 
I tried it and hated the controls. Worst thing is that you couldn't even customize them. Since I use my mouse left handed, it's pretty much essential for me to be able to do that.
 
I had to write a macro to reroute the controls manually with a program that runs in the background... which increased response time and even made it less enjoyable to play the game. Seriously, that's unacceptable for a professionally released game on the PC.
 
Also, all those badly implemented lame scripted 'micro games' you had to play in order to advance the plot.
If that's the future of computer RPG's, I don't want to play them anymore. Frown | :(
