Ive had it years and never paid a penny, and there's no way it could charge you, sure you're not talking about something else?

Says on the site its a quid in year 2. They could place a block on your number if you choose not to pay after year 1 is how I guess they do it.

May be yours is permantly free as you were using them from when they launched?

Could be that as Ive had it for a couple of years I think. Bit shite they've added that, is it a recent addition as I only put it on somebody's phone a couple of days ago and it made no mention of it?

But then, if games as an art form/media never *tries* to push its boundaries, how is it ever going to develop those chops?

It's not simply a case of build it and they will come though, like if the userbase isn't of a mind to be critical in the first place then all you get is the echo-chamber that's kept Kojimateam as Konami's carte-practically-blanche-spare-no-expense superasset.

Speaking of crit, I don't think I'll ever see as thorough a scholarly exercise on this topic as this.

Hand one: It's striking that the man's work is capable of prompting that kind of analysis. Like it or no, there's some investment there.

Hand other: It's very obviously analysis borne of acute frustration, both with content and wider consumer/industrial context.

That's a bit crap if so. On iPhone you just click new group and off you go. Got several groups for friends, family, clients, good way to keep in touch with a number of people at once.

It's annoying as for some reason my iPad refuses to acknowledge the ios Whatsapp. As such I can't DL it.
In May I'm due a contract renewal, am going back to Android.

Can't get it on any tablet without running some 'extra' software, which is a bit shite. Never really understood why.

Wtf whatsappinthisthread

Roujin

Whatsapp replaced the codec in Phantom Pain innit.

Verecocha

I thought continuing it a little in here was a good way to put some distance between the last few pages and some measurement of normality. Apologies.

Back on topic the ability to role when prone on this game continues to elude me.

Sasukekun

First night playing I couldn't figure out how to flip over, and couldn't figure out how to sprint.

Need to put some more time into it, but inFamous wants me to play it.

Want to get through to the daytime missions and see what this atmosphere simulator is all about.

Dark Soldier

Stop going off topic, Sas.

So nobody wants to WhatsApp me. Fuck y'all I'm leaving.

Space Gazelle you harp on about me being thick but I have never claimed to being an incredibly intelligent chap. I might not be as well read as some of you but I get by. You are a self important nerd. You spend weekends building PCs. But you're also an incredibly boring arse as well. As for the fake Paul account please dont think its me, do an IP check or something.

I'm a boring arse as well? As well as Paul by any chance?

What? You're saying I am behind the alt I take it?

You've followed me around this place for weeks now, constantly labelling me as 'thick' as well as other things. I don't see what you're trying to achieve with all of this.

These forums are fucking awful to be quite honest and most of you will be cheering the fact that I feel I have outstayed my welcome here. The place is nothing more than a clique and it's the same old members, making the same jokes and it's the reason why we never attract any new meat. I give this place another year or so until it completely disappears into the abyss because we're losing members every month or so and not bringing in any new faces. Ask yourselves why that is.

I like a lot of you but there are so many self important fuckwits here it's unbearable these days. WE ARE GAMERS FFS! WE ARE NERDS AND WE USED TO BUY EDGE MAGAZINE! Big fucking whoop. (Apart from Elmlea who is a fighter pilot or something awesome)

RE: forum favourite Paul the sparky. Can you imagine the outrage if Davie had a pop at someone because of their history with mental illness. But because it's good ol' Paul it quietly slips under the radar. "Oh no, can't call out Sparkles, he's one of us." Pathetic really.

So yeah, fuck this place - it's a big of shite. Petey you're lovely and thanks for creating the place but I'm done.

Good luck with everything guys.

Ta-ra.

EDIT: Yay!

It's about time someone stood up to Paul and his henchmen.

Billy

Can't we all just play some games together and get along.

I'm enjoying this read and also what you are trying to convey here, which I, without having played the game, agree with. For me, it's not the specific execution or context, but intent.

However, unless the industry this stuff comes from ultimately changes, which I believe can only come about with new writers, designers and developers, then this kind of content will continue. Kojima is never going to change his output, as he is raised up as a game design god, and like a lot of people who are told they are amazing, they too readily believe it.

I only called him thick twice. And I only built a PC once, which took all of four hours.

Oi! I thought it was a lowblow and called him on it - but likewise, you've been goading so many people so often under the guise of "banter" (again and again with the xbots line) that you don't really have much of a leg to stand on if someone goads you back.

You get what you give - and if what you repeatedly give is potshots at other forumites, then it's completely obvious that you'll get it in return.

I've got windows phone and start a conversation and add people to it . I can't on one that's already started but it probably can only be done by the person who started it

Verecocha

Oh dear. I do to think anyone ever need say bye as then it just makes you look a bit silly if you decide to come back.

All forums are like this though, its the same as out in the real world, you just ignore the people you don't like. Shame as I liked plan.

But seriously someone has to know how to roll over when prone?

monkey

This isn't Plan's first walk out.

I go to start a new chat, and I get a list of people, I tap that person, and that's it....can't add any more after that, the option does not exist.

Dark Soldier

I now have two of you on WhatsApp.

JOIN THE PARTAY!!!!!

Sasukekun

I'm finding DS to be a hard guy to freak out.

[Deleted User]

I know how to roll over when prone, you have to do it multiple times to get an xof patch.

Kernowgaz

For Sas

Rev

How do I add DS then?

Dark Soldier

Send me your numbah and I'll message you.

THIS IS NOT A RUSE TO GET EVERYONE'S NUMBER SO I CAN SELL THEM TO MARKETING COMPANIES. NOT AT ALL.

Howdy, Stranger!
