Well, phoey!...

Maybe I'll plan a trip to Europe next year. We can meet up with the England hivers and have a blast.

I don't use Skype, and do you know the fees for talking overseas? It costs more to the receiver on this end than normally phoning to someone on the same country. I learned that the hard way when my GF was in london for 3 months .

For me to call overseas it shouldn't cost you. Is that some odd Finland thing?

How about chatting through Xbox? Is that possible?

It does. I think it's something with the finnish cell-phone operators. They all have the overseas receiving fee...

That is possible. You just need to get the box and gold live-account

I have an Xbox. I just need to get the account.

Or maybe an instant messenger like MSN or Yahoo. They're free video chats.

I wonder how hard it would be to go visit goldmoon.

Next to impossible

I've a couple friends on peacekeeping duty, and it's nearly impossible to get to even talk to them, so I imagine someone on "black ops" squad would be quite a lot harder to reach...

Anyways, I just checked the fees on speaking overseas. Normally I pay 0.08€/min for calling someone. Receiving a phonecall from US costs 1.7€/min...
That's 20 times the cost . And I don't even know what it would cost for the caller, but I imagine it would be even more...

I haven't even been online ever since I kicked your donkey last time . I should buy some DL-points so I can DL some of those alt costumes. I did get the women pack, but I really want to get the pack with alts to Guile etc.

You were lucky that my connection sucked donkey. If I was able to press a button without waiting 5 seconds for the animation to start, I've could have ultimate combo-ed yer butt. Then again, I haven't played street fighter since I got CoD:WaW so yer lucky. :P

The wierd thing is that CoD's connection is so much better then SF even though the server has to keep track of more information.

Haven't played it either. I did get a match with my friend on saturday, and actually learned to do the ultimate combo for Ken, but that's pretty much the only time I've played since our last match.

Even on saturday, our matches consisted mostly of both slamming High kicks and hits randomly

It looked pretty awesome when we both had Blanka

The two character's I got to like were El Fuerte and Dan. Sure dan sucks, but I always get a giggle when I use him in a fight. Also it's funny seeing El Fuerte run around like a headless chicken.

I really can't say which are my faves now. I really like Guile, and I have nostalgic memories for Blanka. I also like Cammy, and the Shadaloo posse is awesome too. I know who I don't like though. Those would be Akuma, C.Viper, Fei Long, Gen and Rose.

Right now my nephews Kung-Fu and Charley (not their real names) and are at my house. Having two smart hyper-active little 5 and 3 year olds which are allowed to play Call of FREEKEN Duty running around while my 7 year niece and my little brother arguing with each other is driving me crazy.
Woot!! well done relique, not kick this quarters classes asses

Practice, Practice, Practice, apparently. I've been pretty dam good at the whole 2 interviews I've been to, just gotta know what they're looking for in an employee and have a few ideas of your own about the job, a bit of research is definately needed.

No problemo!!

I'm hovering around 1500pts in the ranked matches with sagat as my clear favourite of choice, I've had at least 3 sweary messages from people after I've beaten them with him.

But I can play at least a bit with all of the characters except Gen, he just bores me.
Nothing pleases me more than kicking the carp out of someone with Dan or Rose
