Anybody who wants to learn some Dutch.. this is your chance!! Well maybe not quite.. we designed this game for Dutch children of 11 years old with non-dutch parents. But you may find it funny and I challenge you to complete the game!

Is the game backwards? I thought it was "Around the World in Eighty Days". LOL

Haha actually... the game is kind of backwards! It's a modern interpretation of the well known story. In the story they go east, in our game they head west!
Try it for yourself You'll probably laugh because of all the Dutch words

I got to the hot air balloon one and failed.

That's great. And yes... the hot air balloon level is actually very difficult. I tested today with a German friend, but she couldn't get past that one either. And German is very similar to Dutch. But understanding those sentences quick enough is just impossible when you can't read Dutch.
So don't feel bad about it.
How does Dutch sound to you?

Dutch sounds a lot like German. I might try and learn it when I get free time.

I got to the train, train was easy. Balloon was a pain.
It was fun thanks, also voted.

"I'm an idiot!" moment...

I've just spent last 10 minutes trying to login here. Everytime i inputed confused my username and pass, i got the "thank you for logging in" screen, and the next screen was the usual forum screen, but unlogged. And i kept doing it a couple more times. I already thought the board is going down, and after trying everything i could, i looked at the address bar. Turns out while i was looking at that french topic about blackstone games that was translated via google or smth else, i clicked one of the links to xda there, and kept on reading xda from the translator. Only, there was no google in sight, just plain old xda. Weird.
And i feel so dumb right now
And i feel so dumb about posting this thread, but i have to. The very first thing i thought about after the incident was "I have to start a thread about this"
Anyone else had an "I'm an idiot" moment lately?
nope...but congratulations!

Hi. My name's Stuart, and I'm an idiot.
Took my bike for an MOT this morning (Thunderace, if you're interested). As the tester rode it onto the apparatus past me I noticed the rear shock squeaked a bit - hadn't noticed it before with a helmet on, windblast and the bulk of the bike blocking the noise from the drivers seat. All through the test, I was as nervous as an expectant father, was the examiner going to find something wrong that I hadn't forseen? Was there going to be some new strange test that the bike failed? Eventually, the tester came over to me and said it had passed.
Why did I then find myself saying "So the squeak from the shock wasn't a problem?"?!?!
He hadn't heard it but me asking prompted him to spend 5 minutes more examining it to find out if it was a problem or not!
That's my "I'm an idiot" moment for the day. I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow with another....

Does Voice command just hate me ?

Just wondering how youd rate speed/accuracy for voice dialing.
I find it absolutely abysmal.
Its never accurate , it RARELY includes the people # source I want , even if its a list of them. Its also ridiculously slow.
Im coming over from PPC so Im used to VC being much faster and accurate.
Could it be my utterly masculine voice being hard to "hear" for it ?
I can't even get close to making it understand numbers, but can call contacts by name.
It doesn't understand steriod abused voices like your's or arnold's. So yes it hates you
With a title like this do you really expect a real answer.
Yo I'm back b!tches
Yo supreme, you see we got a thread closed and I was only up from my nap for just a few minutes
Hell yea. I was bout to say something on there then was like dam. Seems like the mod got a kick out of it, along with everyone else. Execpt for the one guy that pointed the finger.

2012 Movie

Anyone see the movie? Well in the movie there is a guy who activates his phone with his finger while he was watching a fight. Anyone know what kind of program that was?
It looks interesting.

Yeah.
it's called CGI
Also know as a Computer Graphcs Insert.
As in, it's not real.
Oh, and those big ships at then.
Well, not real either.
Hi, notice the big bold tag on the forum that says "DEVELOPMENT"? Discussing 2012 has nothing to do with anything android, much less dream related. Lets try and keep our eye on the ball here folks.
Mod thread kill please?
haha thats so random
WTF!?!?!?!
Wat is this I
But if it's not out, it means that it is in dev, due release date : 2012
I think somebody got lost
i like cheeseburgers, and if it comes with fries that always a plus.

Do you like toast too? Yes, as do I. It is warm and crispy. And a perfect place for jelly to lay.

but all bull**** aside... about this phone...
can u use it to drive a car like some james bond ****..cause i hate drivin..and findin parking spots.
the james bond thing is too expensive, even if it was possible. but maybe tapping in to live satellite feeds to find open parking spots would be convenient. unless your in a parking garage. other than that maybe someone can develope an app for that. or maybe a map for that.
Nothing to do with Dream Android Development thread closed.

Take tons and tons of ugly people and put them on one social network: fubar.com

I just have to share. This site is hilarious. I joined in over a year ago and I've been entertained since. It's a social network full of trailer trash, nasty ass girls, and just plain social rejects. It's worth a cheap laugh.
Don't believe me? Here's my small collection of laughables...

That's a totally different story.
If anyone wants to join in on the fun, go to http://www.fubar.com and register.
Then once you're all set and set up things the way you want (or don't), across the top menu bar, below the scrolling pictures, there's a FUN & GAMES category. In that drop-down menu, there's a selection called BORED?; pick that one. It's basically a "hot or not" type deal with the ability to rate 1 through 10 cherries. Apparently it's an unwritten rule to rate everyone a 10 no matter what they look like, but wait until you see the reaction from people when you rate them exactly what they should be. This, my friends, it's truly entertaining.
And if you thought the above pictures were bad/funny, there's tons of worse ones out there, I just have been blocked by those people so I can't get access to their pictures anymore.
PS - To keep yourself continuously interested in the entertainment value of the site, you will see SOME pretty hot people on there. It's nowhere near a healthy proportion, but some of these chicks are HOTTTTT.

The current count is 14 dead, 50 injured. It is all over the news right now.
That's very sad. I am baffled that WB would cancel the Paris premier tonight though, do they know something they aren't telling us?
Also, who the hell brings their 3 month old to see a movie like this!?
.....and another one who wakes up and hates the world he's living in. I hope that the families & friends of the victims will find the strength to fight the pain & the peace they need now.
R.I.P to those victims. Terrible times we live in :/

I agree, if only he had used the first bullet from the gun he was firing on himself, this would have just been a suicide as opposed to the tragedy it is...

This is just insane. There's no other way to put it.
craziest thing that happened in 2012,
absolutely horrible
i can't put words that truly describe how gruesome this is
One of the women who was killed, Jessica Ghawi, was almost in the middle of a shooting last month in a mall food court. To paraphrase, she said she got a funny feeling and left minutes before the shooting began.

Very close to where I live there was a shooting in a bar recently in the college town, Tuscaloosa.

These shootings are happening too frequently!
The man was a Vet and he warned people on 9gag weeks before of his plan. He posted this the day before:
