Happy birthday!
The first time I got really drunk, I threw up on my brother's girlfriend (now mother of his two children, and like a sister to me). I was embarrassed for months.

We did start off a bit extreme, as usual lol.
But the thing i want to say is that drinking too much is bad. I can of course understand drinking a few, every one does. But seeing as he, who actually has it going well in life, drinks so much that it made him sick is dumb.
I only once drank as much as to loose full motor control and i fell out of a terrace. Luckily I fell into a bush. It didn't affect the way i think and i remember everything. It was funny, but barfing near a tree for 15 minutes wasn't that fun
Ever since than i never touched alcohol drinks, its just dumb. Not only does it make me feel sick, but its plain bad.

Wait, this discussion is slowly going in the wrong direction. Everything must be taken with measure. So is alcohol. I can't conceive a good party without it. If consumed with moderation, it helps people be more open with each other, so it makes a party much more enjoyable.
I myself never got drunk to the point of loosing control of myself, but I had the unfortunate(fortunate?) chance of seeing others. I remember seeing a guy who drank 1 bottle of vodka on an empty stomach. I went to dance, and in 5 minutes I was back. He was literally knocked out, sitting on the chair as if he was dead and all the contents of his stomach were flowing like a river on the floor.
Needless to say, it was a good scare lesson for me.

I'm not lecturing you about anything, I'm simply expressing my line of thoughts. And no, by that which i said i compared to your example of why you're drinking.
What i am trying to say is that there are much better ways to chillax and have fun than drinking like crazy and feeling like a bag of broken hard drives tomorrow morning.
I am against alcoholics and too much drinking due to those who enjoy such behavior usually dont think before they act.
Also, just as you said my enjoyment of drawn animals is bad because it isn't socially acceptable for some reason, the same i can say for your pictures and alcohol.

I can't believe I'm being lectured on attracting women by someone who enjoys quasi-pornographic cartoon beastiality.
I also resent the fact you suggest I don't care about any of the girls. They're all good friends + one I've been steadily seeing for months. The drinking is just a way to blow off steam and is a large part of the culture here.
I hate guys who deliberately seek out drunk girls. This was a planned night out with people I'm closest to.

Yeah, that's the version I was on before. I'll downgrade to those drivers again because they seemed better. I'll try your trick of moving the install drive as well. I'm due for a CPU and RAM upgrade and a Windows reinstall soon, might bite the bullet on those and see if it's any better after that.
EDIT: Still crashing after doing both those things. The worst part is that you don't get any of your experience points if the game crashes

New drivers came out last week, I'll try those but I don't really expect they'll do anything, I'm unlucky like that
EDIT: Nope, if anything, it's even worse than it was before :/
@Urby: No error message, just dumps back to the desktop. The game is still running though, from there I have to alt-tab to get my mouse control back and kill the game from the task manager. Google hasn't returned any useful info
I don't regret buying it, but I certainly won't be buying any DLC for it if it's not stable on my machine.

Shit Pengy that sucks. You're not using any beta drivers or anything are you? BF3 really picky about video drivers. Mine started crashed regularly after the last update and for some reason switching the install to my newer drive fixed it. I have no explanation for that.
If you find you like the larger conquest maps with 64 players you should really get Armored Kill. One of the maps is essentially BF3: Skyrim. Looks exactly like it. The flight box(in-bounds infantry space is obviously smaller) is about 3/4 the size of Skyrim's entire map, and it's mountainous. The flight box is 2 kilometers high. It's nuts.

I had an issue with BF3 crashing to desktop when I first started playing it. Then I did something to fix it and it has never happened since.
Trouble is, I can't for the life of me remember what I did... I think it was related to my connection and it quit to desktop whenever I lost connection to the server.
Do you get a message at all when it jumps back to desktop Pb? Is it related to the connection or is it just your bog standard "boop. I'm dead" kinda thing?

I don't know what to do... is it worth it?
[EDIT] Nevermind, it's back to 50 euro again :P.
[EDIT] Penguinboy, isn't light supposed to travel at an incredible speed of c? That means that light is traveling around the Earth ~7 times per second. That means 130ms in one circumference travel. But internet optical cables never go that distance, so at worst you should get a maximum of around 70ms.

Well, not for online gaming on servers on the other side of the world
Except Worms Armageddon, that works just fine no matter where you are. We've been getting back into that recently, you should join us again Huntey!
Also, give me the low down on how to join the TWHL platooney. If I can't be there in (virtual) person, I can at least be there in spirit. Origin (sigh) username is Pebguibnoy.

I bought it because Strider's a dick and I hate him. YES YOU STRIDER READING THIS RIGHT NOW. FUCK YOU!
...Nah, it's because I've had an itch for shootering and no game I have at the moment can scratch it. However I don't see how I could play on your team with the lag and all >_>

Seriously, what happened with being a man and attracting girls that way? As if its cool to be reckless today.
If this was done in 4 hours, why are you not our god?

Ant doesn't have BF3, he only has an account from when he played the beta.
EDIT: BF3 is quite unstable for me
My "Quits" stat is at 55%, that's how often it crashes back to the desktop before the round finishes. Lame!
I second the Worms Armageddon invite!
