S.F.

I've never actually played the original Modern Warfare, but would be interested to try it out - and a remaster would be a perfect opportunity for me, but I don't want to have to buy the most expensive version of a game that doesn't necessarily interest me that much.

But, with a vague knowledge of what Activision is capable of, I wouldn't be surprised that once the $80 game sales start to drop, they release the remastered standalone...

I agree with the above, I've been in a similar situation before now - but applying for jobs from a position of employment makes you a stronger candidate (generally speaking, employers like to see commitment, even if you are committed to something less than ideal). It also means that your income doesn't dry up while looking for work, which (depending on the jobs) can make it difficult to attend interviews.

Your favourite was Fluttershy???? I'd honestly never have guessed that for a second! She is a great pony, but she isn't Rarity

I'm glad you are happy here - you have a way of spreading happiness throughout these forums

*holds up glass* Here's to the next year!

Whoo, I got mentioned in a blog

The Spirited Away track certainly had more of an oriental feel to it (and performed by a Japanese orchestra)

Also, slightly off topic, I would place Final Fantasy IX in my top 3 games of all time - so would readily recommend it

This one has a lovely melody

That's pretty much what happened to me, half way through S4 I kinda lost interest, but S5 has drawn me back in just as strongly as before  

Ah I see, I had no idea it could be done like that. I guess there must be an art to it (like you said, it has to be worded correctly etc).

Cool, I like Germany (have only been twice though), my meditation session was during a festival in Frankfurt (I forget the name of it), there were loads of stalls and stands (and bands playing). The meditation was done in a tent, at a quieter part of the festival. I don't think that hypnosis and meditation are overly related, both can achieve a similar affect, but meditation is more of a spiritual thing (I think at least).

(oh, and yeah, especially after your mentioning the Jungle Book, it should have been obvious that it was Kaa - my bad XD)

Thinking about it, I've heard that some people are more susceptible to it than others, so maybe it wouldn't work on me, but I'd still be interested none the less. 

How do you actually go about hypnotising someone? I know the stereotypical way is with a watch on a pendulum, but from what I've read it is more a case of directing their thought processes (I could be completely wrong with that though XD)

It sounds like your session was a pleasant experience though, again something I would be interested in trying (if I was susceptible). The closest I have had to that was a meditation session, in Germany of all places. It was really relaxing, but that may have been because it involved sitting in a comfortable environment with my eyes closed, so who knows if it was the meditation or what lol

That was a legitimately interesting read, I've always been fascinated with hypnosis myself, but not nearly on the same level as you - I'd be more interested in how it works (as in the science behind it, not necessarily the method). If a hypnotist ever offered to hypnotise me I'm not sure if I would. One one hand it would be an experience, but on the other I don't like the idea of all my defences being down (not that I have any deep dark secrets or anything, but you probably get what I mean). Out of interest, have you ever been hypnotised (or would you want to be)?

Still, I doubt that this is the end of your career on this site - just think how dull life would be without our varying interests!

Also, your avatar reminds me of something...what could it be????
