  1. Hmm, now what musical subject can I talk about that is both covering ALL musical tastes and also keeping VERY on-topic, has even been promoted by the Mods themselves, at least to the EU players and is also linked in my sig??



    Sorry, couldn't resist!

    Anyway, Rock ftw!! Especially every Saturday night, 10-12 UK time, only on DJ Coin's Rock Zone
  2. Oh, and for the record, PG Tips, nectar of the gods
  3. I can't talk about the finer points, ins and outs, specialist knowledge of Tea. All I can talk about is the fine English institution that is a cup of tea.

    Be it a fine Earl Grey, or a simple cuppa made of a PG Tips teabag, there;s nothing more quintessentially English as sitting down at some point in the day to relax with a cup of tea.

    I dunno about other cultures, other countries, where tea originated, how it got here, whatever. All I know is......I like a good cuppa!

    I don't know why, it just is. My Nanna always swore by a cup of tea at all times of the day. My good lady wife, Rosie, on her radio sets even says on her forum "I'll bring the tea, you bring the biscuits." Like I say....it just is

    Coffee, I love a coffe, don't get me wrong, but a cup of tea is a very English thing to do.

    And I suspect that's where the games get it from. If you want to suggest something that appeals to all classes of English people, it's a cup of tea. Be you a lower-classes factory worker at the end of a hard days graft, or a upper-class Lord sitting in your mansion, you have a cup of tea. Be it in a fine china cup or a cheap mug from Woolies, you have a cup of tea.

    And by the gods, it's always refreshing
  4. Woah! These are fantastic!!

    I've now got something to do with my kids over the summer holidays

    At least that DJ can cope with the garbage people ask him to play on requests, sheesh, some of it is garbage!

    So

    Not a lot dude......Damz is still not house trained........Smilies are still not illegal for overuse.......there's some big expansion thing coming soon.....not a lot.

    OH! There's an AMAZING new EU radio station as well!!

    I dunno the link though.
  9. We've got another new trial DJ starting tonight, in about 20 minutes at 6PM UK time, Evil Janet of the Echelon SG on Defiant will be doing his first set!

    Tune in as always at www.roguesradio.com
  10. Hey all

    Just wanted to let you know, we're trying something a little different on my show tonight on Rogues Radio!

    As normal, I'll be taking requests during the Rock Zone, but thanks to amazing modern technology, you will be able to ask for that request, live on air!!

    yes, that's right, if you have access to a microphone and have an MSN account, you can call me on there and your voice will appear on air asking for your request, live!!

    If you feel up to this, then make sure to add me on

    djcoin@hotmail.co.uk

    and get those dulcet tones ready! Make sure to tell all your friends you're going to be on the radio!

    oh, and one final warning.....this is the Rock Zone....if you ask for something rubbish or silly......I will be brutal

    World Cup 2010

    .......how the hell????

    England move UP the world rankings!

    How on earth did that happen???? How does this stupid system even work after that terrible England performance??

    Funny to see how far France and Italy dropped though!

    And fair to see Spain at the top, Euro and World Cup winners, can't really argue with that.
  12. Got this as my text message sound, too short for a ringtone I find

    My ringtone is the music from Amok Time fight scene.....Dun dun DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNNN D D DUN DUN!!!
  13. Sounds like an interesting idea, indeed.

    Sadly, I don't tend to do well in SG's, so I'll watch from afar as Damz attempts to do the same thing he does every day, Pinky.....
  14. For those of you who are PvP nuts, Mrs ? is planning our first PvP night tonight!

    It's happening on the Defiant server, in Pocket D, so bring your fave toons around and see if you can beat up a DJ for not playing that S Club 7 track you requested
  15. At the risk of bumpage, I just wanted to remind people of our competition.

    We;ve had some excellent entries, including one by everyone's favourite avatar creator, Psygon, so check out the entries so far here on our forums and then if you think you can do even better, click the link in the original post for all the details!

    No benefit to the team, at all.
    Rooney, I thought, improved over the game. The second half he was much better and had a couple of good chances, but he's better played up front with someone like Gerrard behind him.

    Wright-Phillips is a frustrating player. Like his Dad he plays his heart out for his country and runs at players a lot, but never seems to get that great final ball in, not for England anyway. Saying that, that seemed to be the biggest issue for England last night. Some good build up play at times let down by a gods awful final ball in.

    World Cup 2010

    Woah, don't know what's more surprising. The fact that we have two threads about football (there's one already in the Comics and Heroes forum ) or that the World Cup people are considering this!!

    Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sort of torn in this. If it's a national tradition etc, it's in keeping with the World Cup being held in South Africa, but honestly, that sound is driving me barmy during the matches!!

    Even during the England match last night, which had considerably less of the damn things than other matches, it was still drowning out the real atmosphere of a football match. I could barely hear any singing from the terraces, no football chants, not even the England band. France are already blaming the vuvuzelas for their poor performance as they couldn't hear each other over them (yeah I know, crappy excuse, almost as bad as grey shirts )

    The fact that it's being discussed at all shows there must be some issues with them.
  18. Heh, whilst I can appreciate the OP's sentiment about being appreciated, saying thanks for every single SB or buff is getting borderline obsessive

    Saying "nice work team" or "wow, we ripped through that lot quick" is a better way of dealing with it.

    Threatening to kick or quit because of people not saying thank or please is a bit overboard, sometimes, you simply don't have time to type it out! I know I don't when I'm in full on blapper mode!

    Srsly, chill, it's a game and it's meant to be a laugh, if you're enjoying the team, that's thanks enough, if you're not, time to move on, it's easily done, make a polite excuse and go off to find or make a new team, simple as!
  19. I'm gonna go with an obvious one then.

    More dance emotes!!

    I know that there are new ones coming, but we could do with several more! When we're DJing, we often have several people stood dancing with us, indeed, the other week Mrs ? had a LOT of people stodd under Atlas for her first set, all dancing and it looked great, but there's far too few dance emotes! Add more!

    Styles I'd suggest.

    Air Guitar (the most obvious )
    Headbanger (think Beavis and Butthead, one had in the air, headback and forth in time to the music)
    Moonwalk
    Thriller
    Hammer Time
    Elvis style
    Slow Dance (2 people huging each other, slowly shuffling around each other a la school disco for the slow songs )
    Disco (think Saturday Night Fever)

    I'm sure others will come up with a far better list, but that's a start, especially the first 2!! (not that I'm biased as a Rock DJ, you understand )

    The same would probably apply with emotes, more the better, adds a lot more immersion and fun to the game, especially if the interface is easy to use
  20. Tune in at 6pm UK time tonight for our latest trial DJ, Evil Janet of the Echelon SG will be spinning some new virtual tunes!
  21. Wahay, got another 2 today. No official word on it yet?
  22. Two?

    Pfft, I got three of the buggers!

    Never owned Aion, not the beta, not gonna get it, not got it in my master account either.

    Damn weird.
  23. Heh, I know Rosie finally managed to get him to say Gratz the other week after 3 years of trying as well, she was determined to get Clark to say it from his first words, but that ended up being Dad......meh, I was hoping for Coin

    /em end shamless plug

    Sorry, couldn't resist! For what it's worth, there's some serious talent on these forums and I'd love to see more of it appearing in the game!
  25. Kids, gotta love em!!

    I also managed to teach him the words Spock, Kirk, Sulu, Scotty and Bones the other week as well
