  1. Saw this yesterday and thought it was pretty amazing so wanted to share it. IT'S a volcano, but not as we know it. This cerulean eruption takes place in the Danakil Depression, a low-lying plain in Ethiopia. The volcano's lava is the usual orange-red – the blue comes from flames produced when escaping sulphuric gases burn. French photographer Olivier Grunewald creates such images without using colour filters or digital enhancement, which is no simple task. To get this shot he had to wait until dusk, when the electric blue flames were visible, but before all the daylight had ebbed away. Then the wind had to be blowing away from him so he could get close enough. Photographing the similarly sulphurous Kawah Ijen volcano in Indonesia, where he worked inside the crater, was even more treacherous. "We have to take care when the winds push the flames close to us," he says. "In Danakil it is easier to escape as the land is flat." Grunewald works in a gas mask to avoid breathing in the deadly fumes – but photographing Kawah Ijen still left him with peeling skin and clothes smelling of rotten eggs for weeks afterwards. Another drawback of Grunewald's subject matter is that the acidic gases don't agree with his cameras. But it's worth it, he says. "The phenomenon is so uncommon – we really feel like we are on another planet." http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22229700.100-ethiopias-blue-volcano-burns-deadly-sulphuric-gas.html#.U4WWE_ldV15
  2. I need to upgrade my hog riders but keep getting attacked before i can reach 20000. I also agree with Bob, i think we do waste a lot of attacks not knowing if we're even going to get one star. There are some people who have their town hall outside the walls, they're normally guarded by teslas but should still be an easy 1 star for most people. If the opposition have a high leveled person with the town hall outside of the walls, then i think we should let someone who's on a lower level take a pop at getting the 1 star because the chances are that most of us would only get 1 star anyway. Hope that makes sense? Also i don't mind when we game, if the app actually wants to work then i'll be fine to game when ever. Bees!!! Did your app manage to stop fucking up, mine still quits on me all the time?
  3. God damn it Stretch! Well as long as you can make it at some point, that's all that matters
  4. They do take far too long but i can see why! Never even thought about having some sat in my castle but i still think a dragon is much harder to kill. Definitely need to use them more though because they do so much damage!
  5. As soon as i saw the title i got my jealous face on immediately It looks absolutely amazing!! That sun set in the last picture looks amazing, so peaceful. Always makes me miss where i grew up, nothing but fields and rivers for miles. London just doesn't have that same effect. Sounds like you've got an amazing summer lined up!
  6. Spot on dude! I watched some guy yesterday completely destroy a dragon with a few archers and 4 wizards, i'm definitely going to start to use them! I've tried them before but they always seem to get merked far too easily. I definitely need to sit down and sort my village out, although i rarely get 3 starred. I did this time but that's because the dude dropped about 7 dragons on my face Don't think anyone's village is ready for that!
  7. He's always been a cocky little prick, never liked him. I'll certainly be cheering on Froch! When you down LDN way Stretch?
  8. Na dude, it honestly didn't sound condescending at all. I knew exactly what you meant. Would be wicked if a few of us got it, it's only about £4 if you already had it on the ps3, seems crazy not to get it really. Then we'd just have to get Cal a PS4
  9. Spot on! Although i think i came up with one whilst on the throne last night, great place for thinking I should added i don't remember what it was, might have to put a pen and pad in there for future thoughts.
  10. omg i need one of them right next to where i live!
  11. Na keep at it dude, i was awful in the last war. I suppose the only way we'll get better is by practicing. I definitely need to think up some new strategies!
  12. As my PC is none existent, i got it for the ps3. It's such a nice change of pace from any other game and gives me another way to game with Cal Having never played it on the PC before, i love it but can imagine it would feel a bit crappy if you've come from PC. Saying that, if it means you get to game with Cal, then it's all worth it.
  13. oh noes My missus is gona be pissed! She was well looking forward to this.
  14. Out of contract starting XI http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27579533
  15. The BBC have done a nice guide to all the groups for the upcoming World Cup. The link i've posted is Englands group but links to the other groups are on the right hand side of the page. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25203020
  16. Sabotage!! They're obviously scared of us. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27584410
  17. https://mojang.com/2014/05/minecraft-on-xbox-one-ps4-and-ps-vita-soon/ No idea if this has been posted anywhere before? Hello! We’re finally able to share news about Minecraft on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Playstation Vita. Apologies for the delay, but putting Minecraft on new consoles is a serious business. People have been using phrases like “logistically-speaking,” “infinite terrain,” and “platform parity” for months now. We’ve decided that letting current players upgrade for a small fee is the best way to show our appreciation. If you’re a new crafter who’s looking to pick up Minecraft in the next few months – welcome! We hope this post makes you happy! Owen – @bopogamel Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Xbox 360 Edition. It will include all the features from the most recent Xbox 360 title update. Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will cost $19.99. If you’ve bought Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition from Xbox Live Marketplace, or played online with the disc version, you will be able to upgrade to Xbox One Edition for $4.99. You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date. Players with Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Xbox One. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer saves from Xbox One to Xbox 360. We can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems. Cross platform play will not be possible between Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you’ve purchased for Xbox 360 Edition will be available for use in Xbox One Edition. We’d like to say all your DLC would transfer, but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We’ll have more on this soon. Minecraft: Playstation 3 + Vita Edition will be available on the PSN in August. It will include all the features from the most recent Playstation 3 version, including online play on Vita. This means everyone who has bought Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition from PSN will get it on Vita for free. Those fluent in Sony-speak might refer to the deal as “Cross-buy.” We are working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to look into ways to enable upgrade from the Blu-ray disc version of Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition to Minecraft: Playstation 3 and Vita. We’ll have more info on this closer to release. Minecraft: Playstation 3 + Vita Edition will cost $19.99. It doesn’t matter if you buy for PS3 or Vita first, you own the game for both platforms. Saves are transferrable between the Playstation 3 and Vita versions of Minecraft. You will be able to craft at home on your Playstation 3, then continue on the bus/toilet with your Playstation Vita. All of the DLC you’ve purchased for Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition will work on Playstation 3 + Vita Edition. Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition will be released on the PSN in August. It brings significantly bigger worlds and a greater draw distance than Playstation 3 + Vita Edition. It will include all the features from the most recent Playstation 3 version. Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition will cost $19.99. If you’ve bought Playstation 3 Edition from the Playstation Network you will be able to upgrade for $4.99. You will be able to upgrade for a minimum of a year after the release date. We are working closely with Sony Computer Entertainment to look into ways to enable upgrade from the Blu-ray disc version of Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition to Minecraft: Playstation 4 Edition. We’ll have more info on this closer to release. Players with Playstation 3 Edition or Playstation 3 + Vita Edition saves will be able to import their worlds to Playstation 4. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to transfer your saves from Playstation 4 to Playstation 3/Vita. There are technical reasons for this; we can make worlds bigger without too much stress, but shrinking them causes all kinds of problems. Cross-platform play will not be possible between Playstation 3 + Vita Edition and Playstation 4 Edition. Many, but not all, of the DLC skins and texture packs you’ve purchased for Playstation 3 Edition will be available for use in Playstation 4 Edition. We’d like to say all your DLC would transfer but some of the items are trapped in licensing deals that are too boring to get into here. We’ll have more on this soon. Thanks for reading everybody!
  18. A pretty honest review about the game so far, a mixture of pros and cons. Sounds like you get your moneys worth. http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/27/watch-dogs-ps4-review-gta-hacker-city-4740568/
  19. How and where?
  20. Oh no City http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11679/9327572/transfer-news-yaya-toure-admits-liking-for-paris-saint-germain I'd laugh my ass off if he went!!
  21. A nice article that show the love between these two http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/27528771 Tried to copy and paste it as well as possible but god damn the BBC love their formats which don't allow for an easy copy and paste!
  22. Anybody here into boxing at all? A pretty big match this weekend should be a cracker and hopefully Froch comes out with the victory because i just can't stand Groves. Another cocky ass boxer who thinks he's the greatest ever, really hope he gets put in his place. He shows no respect at all to Froch! Saying that, it does lead to some fun interviews and meetings before the actual match. They're even considering a 3rd ref http://www1.skysports.com/frochgroves2/story/30690/9327307/froch-v-groves-ii--officials-forced-to-consider-another-referee-after-charlie-fitch-objection Everything you need to know about the fight http://www1.skysports.com/frochgroves2 So who wants who to win?
  23. 20+ level 5 hogriders?!!?!? Holy shit balls, gota watch that! I think the problem we have is that we don't have many of us at high intimidating levels, they had a good 6 bases which i'd look at and say, fudge that. Hopefully we'll get put against some people who are a little less armed next time and hopefully the app works properly!
  24. Mine was quitting on me the whole of yesterday, managed to just finish my second attack before it shut down. Well fudging annoying! GG to everyone so far, i've had an awful war so far but others are putting in some good scores!
