OMG. That worthless institution known as the United Nations is getting into the app craze with this...
"My life as a refugee."
""My life as a refugee" takes players into a scenario of fleeing conflicts and searching for family members."
And of course in the article Captain Obvious chimes in.... "One analyst said the title was unlikely to have the mass appeal of games like Angry Birds,..."

Probably fairly true-to-reality for the poor b4st4rds who live that day to day. I think this is massively crass by the UN and can't believe that anybody actually felt this would either be a good idea or help to raise awareness of the third world.
WTF??????
I tried it and survived for two days. Then it tells me that is the end of today's episode and to come back tomorrow. Kind of boring. All I did was run through the woods and every time there seemed like trouble, I avoided it. Took all of one minute.
Not too hard. Now if I had a gun it would be different. That is what they need in the game. GUNS!!!! And rocket launchers and ****.
I could **** some things up.
Kiss my ass warlord!!!

I abandoned my brother, tried to bribe a dude, got tortured and then i died. I'm not good at this! Damn you Hollywood!
Okay, this is bull****!! I went the other route and worked with the rebels. Lived for two years then was killed in combat one morning.
Took three clicks from beginning to end. Three friggin clicks. This game is boring and fixed. AND it didn't pick up from where it left off yesterday. I had to start over!!
That's the thing. They don't want you to survive, because "that's reality" and YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD! Now donate $5000.

Being bored I decided to check out what was happening on today's date 4 years ago and I found the above.
This can't be mere co-incidence surely, so the question is.. does anything actually happen on September 8th, or is this the most boring day of the year?

Well being bored, for me, is better than siting myself from 8.15 to 15.00 at school and learning some stuff which I wouldnt need in my whole life !!!
like what the hell is past continuos or present continous (learning english in Latvia)!!! I can speak in english and write in it but now I even need to know some stuff which I dont need!!!
And Mr. Channon hits 3500 with that last one...
MODS!!! Edit this thread!!! That last post should have been placed under the jokes thread.
And I just hit 350...yep....I look at all the 349 other useless posts I have placed and came to one conclusion...all but 1 of them was useless.
I wonder when, oh when, I will ever reach the Mt. Olympus of Mr. Channon...I am, but a foot stool.
For me, there are five days boring in a week. I'm only alive on weekend and holiday. When can I retire?? Every day is boring!

Dont become bore. You have to go for the out side, long drive, go in restaurent, take the tour etc. Life is so much beautiful, you have to make the beautiful life. It is depend upon you. Then after you are getting the enjoy from the life and also from the work whatever you can do.
Best of luck.
Anybody else watch the show? I'm not British but after i saw Boyle's first performance, i started watching the show. I watched the performances on Youtube and became extremely addicted to it then found a live stream but i'm still upset that she didn't win. I thought Diversity was flat out amazing and their performace was jaw-dropping and much better to that of Flawless'.
Anybody else upset she didn't win?
well imo she wasnt that outstanding, she was a good singer i thoink the reason she was so well liked was because she looked like she did and the voice didnt match, in these shows i only watch the auditions anyway, just to watch to idiots
but two thing pissed me off this year
1, the young girl who sung alicia keys getting booted in the early stages
2 simon cowell whinging at the guy who played on a guitar that lit up, even though he got that queen song rather well
my coclusion its a fix and simon cowell is probably still breast fed
Boyle was just someone fugly who could sing nothing more. Diversity were something special though, they were perfectly in time and were literally flawless. If you watched her expression Boyle was happier thatr she didnt win because she felt she didnt deserve it...

I thought Susan was going to win, but there were a few things that hurt her chances. Personally, I didn't think her semi-final performance was that great, and she had some incident where she threatened to leave the show.
I thought the little girl Holly who started crying was BS. And was surprised Simon allowed her to go again, the guy who sang high, Greg, should have one that, but that's me I guess.
For the finals, Diversity's performance was probably the best dance routine I've ever seen, the guy who came up with that is a genius.
But I have to say Stavros Flatley was probably my favorite though.
tabloids dont report a lot
The Diversity's performance was a stunning dance routine! They deserved to win...
Completely agree Mike. I thought that he prelim (first act) was what got her to the finals, not so much her semi-finals performance. Not sure what went behind the scenese and with all these headlines about her "Boyling" over, but she seemed like a confident naive woman. Sucks that she's in a clinic so shortly after her performance :|.
Ah... the day that geeks fear and dread is coming up... so which one of you XDAers have prepared for Valentine's this year?

After six years it's really hard to come up with something nice... -.-

Well, I'm actually not that far in the relationship with this girl but if I was I would let her decide what we should do during the day (shopping or whatever she wants to do). At the evening I would prepare a delicious homemade dinner with starter and dessert, give her a massage and probably suffer through a romantic movie (I would concentrate more on the cuddling with her than the story though)
I would probably also give her some jewelry at the dinner if I could afford it but... I'm a student ^^
We don't do Valentine's day.. because we are cheap like that

I procrastinated, didn't get anything, just told her I'd take her to the book store. She was happy. She got me the BBC Planet Earth on blu ray.
I met a girl on the cruise ship I was on for the last 4 months. She's still there... looks like I'm off the hook? lololol

haha i wonder what would happen I still got 35 minz of V's day here.
spent almost half the weekend making some sort of valentine's day videos for youtube and actually 'failed to advertise' it cuz I dont have a girl
anyway Happy Valentine's Day
Greetings, fellow meatbags.
It has come to my attention that we meatbags are losing more and more grounds to the silicone overlords. From Pamela Anderson's boobs, straight on to Gary Kasparov's inevitable defeat at the hand of Deep Blue, our race of meatbags was most recently and most emphatically beaten, thrashed and dragged through the mud in Jeopardy by none other than IBM's Watson.
What next, you ask?
Rock, paper & scissors
Yes, once the preserve of the playground's courts of arbitration and the ultimate decider of who should be "it", and occasionally the last word in auction arguments, Rock-paper-scissors (RPS) will now be played by the AI.
While we would like to think that a simple game with three possible outcomes would never be mastered by mere humans (or mere computers), NY Times, in collaboration with Skynet, has developed an AI which can ultimately predict and eventually beat humans at this game.
Now I don't feel so secure in my bunker any more.
that hunk of junk is no match for me. Played him on veteran to twenty and killed him, well beat him by 2 matches.

For those of you who are tempted...
Don't just go 20 rounds. The more you go, the more likely you will succumb to a certain pattern, so the computer's advantage is very obvious the longer you play.
Of course, if we hook it up to a learning matrix database, we'd be busted from the get go.
Also remember that this is done by the NEW YORK TIMES. Now imagine IBM getting down on this.

Also what is the whole point with hand egg? In the play offs they only play one game with each team. It should be like hockey where you actually need skill and determination, and not just luck, since you have to win at least 4 games with one team before you can go to the next round.

Yep. They have like 8 teams play in the play offs. So there are 4 games first round, then you have 4 teams left, 2 games, and then the super bowl. Maybe you have a bit more teams at the beginning. In hockey you have 7 games between the teams before going to the next round.

Don't feel like quoting on my phone. Physical...with 20 kilos of protection. Not sure if you ever played rugby. I had a hard time standing straight for 2 days. And hockey is just as if not more physical. Getting slammed by a 200+ pound guy against a wall is worse than the same hit without a wall. Trust me.

I do remember people parking their cars in the middle of the street on Saturday because the street was so crowded with all the party goers that you couldn't drive down it anyway.
