This sucks, I was supposed to be going on the razzle with Blau tonight and I'm shivering with stomach ache and non-existent legs. It won't be the same other nights because of work in the morning but we will have more to talk about (last time it was Rubin Kazan!). :cry:
 
If we make it to the finals this year. Will make sure to join you guys there.
 
I've seen the legend today. We went for lunch and he had soup and steak while I had tagliatelle and fish brochette. We talked about the match, the presidency, music, Honree and as usual with Blaugrana, there's never a dull moment.
After the Stuttgart match we are going ten pin bowling. Actually he's going to show me how to play. If the unthinkable happens, those skittles are going to fecking suffer!
 
I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm last night and I know he's a fan of the show and after reading that post I'm imagining you two as Larry and Jeff having an outing together. lol Only I don't know which of you is which. lol

VBI, I forget, have you played both Shenmue titles or only the original? I was thinking about it last night. Actually, just a few questions to test your memory:

1) Where does the name Shenmue come from?

2) What was the name of Ren's gang?

3) Who fancied Ryu in the original?

4) In a small courtyard, what part-time job do you devote yourself to in the second game?

5) Who created the series.

6) Who murdered Ryu's father? [you gotta get that one]

I had to take my sister out of the whorehouse for this one. I had only played the first. :D

The name Shenmue is to do with a specific tree. Didn't know more than that until I looked it up on wikipedia. :D

I know that Nozomi was the chick if I'm not mistaken, and Lan Di was the killbot to Ryo's dad. Had to look the rest up. I'm too busy whoring achievement points to remember stuff nowadays, brah. :D:D
 
I thought Shenmue II was better than the original, I recommend you ask your sister for a copy very kindly. It's got some great action, cool characters and some beautiful, exotic scenes too.

Absolutely gutted it flopped sales-wise. The only bad thing is the cliffhanger ending. Of course no third installment, it hadn't proven to be fiscally viable.
 
It's about a former gang member turn lawyer who teaches 5 stupid high school students with an objective to make them pass the Tokyo University's entry exam.
I thought it's quite funny/somewhat cool underdog story..:D
 
The description sort of reminds me of GTO, Great Teacher Onizuka. Onizuka is a former gang member too who applies to become a teacher at this really run-down school. The students don't trust teachers due to past events and they harass him. But, Onizuka, with his background, finds his way out of trouble in the process and teaches them a lesson. Also, the headmaster disapproves of him because of his unconventional teaching techniques, but students grow to enjoy them; above all, he makes school enjoyable for them.

That show sounds interesting. How is it presented, live action or animated?
 
Sakuragi Kenji is a destitute lawyer and one-time member of a motorcyle gang trying to guide failing high school students with an average score of 36 into Japan's most prestigious educational institution, Tokyo University (Toudai).

"If you want to change your life, get into Toudai!"

lol after reading this I was thinking it would be perfect for me. I was even discussing my education with my psychologist yesterday.
 
And the guy doesn't go through the suffering bit, just strolls off to the stadium saying Barça are gonna have no trouble at all as if Stuttgart were some crap team like Real Madriz, Rayo Vallecano, Oak Beck (the pub team I used to play for) and suchlike.
