Boobies!




Also, your hair is shorter than mine.


Edit because Theo squeezed in between mine and Pigtails' post:
It's not only guys who wear the big ben clocks around their wrists, my sister has a watch that's at least 50mm in diameter and a good 10-15mm thick and she's a really thin person, it just looks odd.

I quite like watches like this, just with a good looking strap and not a hideous fake leather one like that. Something well made and minimalistic. I really love the idea of the number/dial plate or whatever it's called because it's pushing to what the minimum of what a watch is and that fascinates me.

I've got fairly small wrists too so any watch larger than average is just going to look ridiculous on me.



Edit 2: Also, have you seen H. R. Giger's work with Swatches? He's done some really fascinating things with the watch shape, although I don't think any of his watch furniture ever got realized (sadly).

You can tell the time on those, just not very exact. It's not like a watch serves much function when I always have my phone in my pocket or sit behind a PC so I can check the time just as quickly on those. I like those Movado's too, they're cool even if they're impractical. You'd probably need 4 markings for the watch to be practical, more isn't really needed I think.


Also, Giger's work with watches aren't really watches anymore, it's gothic art like the rest of his work but he worked with the basic shape of a swatch. He also made stools and chairs with the basic shape of a swatch.

How do you find east on a map with no markings?

Solution: Up is default north on a map, which means east is right on the map.

My point is, you imagine where the markings are supposed to be and what they're supposed to read. Up is 12, right is 3, down is 6, left is 9. Now divide the space between each number into three. Each section represents an hour on the short "arm" (not sure what you call the pins that show the time) and five minutes on the long arm.

Granted, getting a precise reading is difficult, mostly because a lot of those watches don't display the seconds, but if you need to tell the exact time, you're better off with a phone connected to the internet so you can get the time from one of the atomic clocks around the world.

Not a lot compared to the time spent inside the Animus, but why the hell did you not start with the first game? You went out and bought the sequel to the sequel...

Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed 2
    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Assassin's Creed 3

It's like playing one of the DLC campaigns in Dragon Age 2 before playing any of the other games.

You're Desmond. Altaïr (AC1) and Ezio (AC2) are your ancestors and the Animus can access their memories through your genes. That's when you enter the virtual world and "become" one of them. You're doing what they're doing in order to solve The Mystery™ in the 21st century.

No wonder you're confused as all hell. If I remember correctly, Brotherhood opens up directly where AC2 ended. It's not a separate story, it's the second part of the second game (concluded in the third part: Revelations).

Edit: For your own sake, wait with Brotherhood until you've played the previous two games. The story in Assassin's Creed is like Mass Effect feat. JJ Abrams. You won't know what the **** is going on by the end of it unless you know the entire story. It is mind-blowing.

Britain is considered the start of the Western world, and Japan is considered the Eastern, which really boggles my mind when Britain is east of me and Japan is west.

Wear a watch on both wrists. Solved.

Why, Mr Gaxe, I do believe you just made a funny. [:tophat:] [:monocle:]

Damn it, why aren't my smiley requests being handled?

Quick google suggests they may just do that.

Who'da thunk it?

Sounds like fun.

I had a date yesterday. The guy is okay, but there is no real excitement... his hands are the softest hands ever, though.

I prefer bangles like this, actually. Well, normally I wear 2 on each arm or so... 4 max, more is so over the top. And I was hoping someone would google it for me, anyway.

Was totally thinking of getting turquoise/gold (not real) ones and found a watch in the right style on ebay, but it's silver and not gold coloured. Meh. Plus, it'd be shipped from the US...

I have been drinking with some Finnish chap who is an apprentice brewer at some Scottish brewery but who was for some reason drinking beer in an American beer bar in Amsterdam, it was fun.


Edit: Also THIS (Not really safe for work)

Spot on chaps, spot on.

I love that movie!

Multipass!

Oops, how'd that happen Kali?
