You deserve to have your money taken away from you, if you have to ask questions like that.

iice:
@Soulpatrol, ares? havent heard of that. Another sucky p2p program is the winmyx or so its called

Yeah, while I was back in the UK, Ares kept me entertained with high quality stuff. It's so cool.

Der Nazi
By the time i'm through with u, u'll call the Wehrmacht and the Bundeswehr to come save your arse.
It's going to be Oktoberfest early, mate!

Neoteny:
ach!! mein gott, he wont need the lame wehrmacht, he'll need otto skorzeny and truckfuls of waffen-ss and four of rommel's panzer divisions backed by a screaming horde of fuckewulfs and messerschmidts. der dumkopf! texazzpete will wipe your greasy innards all over your monitor. heil hitler, herr texazzpete, blitz his arse come oktober.

Seid ihr zusammen? Besser!!! Herr Texazzpete, name the game. The end result? Gleich. Egal. Same! You are going down, man! Und ich brauche nicht all that backup you mentioned. The only blitzing there will be is when you notice all your game-brain can muster returns to strike you with lightning speed. BEFORE you think it, I woulda countered it.

You know what? My victories are gonna taste so sweet because they will be garnished with your gaming innards! .

I wish tomorrow was Oktober.

texazzpete:
Supercillous Jester!!
I'll break your Jaw so you can't beg for mercy

You might as well start admitting defeat right now, my friend. It will save you the humiliation you will receive if you keep this up. October ain't too far away  .

kellorah:
lol



i bow for waffi pidgin n e day!!!

Same here.

texazzpete:
oah
In your wildest dreams.
You'll beg for mercy. And i will give you none!!

name the game, monsieur. Tekken, Street Fighter, Winning Eleven, Heck, even ludo!!

Ah! Mon Ami,

As long as it ain't that ludicrous FIFA series, your ass is grass. Your fate is doomed. The days of reckoning draw near, my friend and they don't look too good from where I'm standing: not good at all!

kellorah:
y?

i don't know how benin people spk pidgin shaa but i dey bow for waffi peeps their own

To me, the way pidgin is spoken in Warri sounds almost musical. Different intonations and all that stuff. The same pidgin in Benin is more forceful and explosive.  I should know: I lived in both towns.

texazzpete:
crazy specs man. and totally unrealistic.
but if u had a system that good, ud be able to.

i've got a new laptop now,
Intel core Duo 1.83ghz
160Gb hdd
1gb ram
geforce Go 7600 gfx card

despite the clock speed, the dual core processor make this more powerful than a p4-D 3.8 ghz (using sandra 2005 benchmark)

yet i couldnt get really good speeds in the emulator.
if u want to run a game try, devil may cry 3 or resident evil 4. they work, though kind of slow.

wait until its optimised!

texazzpete:
screens
Devil may cry 3 and Resident evil 4 on my ;laptop

texazzpete:
DMC3 looks horrible and plays slowly, resident Evil 4 is playable (barely) at 14fps average. As u can see, it looks damn gorgeous,

Texazzpete, thought you swore you were not gonna be gaming no more. Anyway, I still owe you an ass-kicking in October. Train hard. Pray hard. And lest I forget, bring a good supply of hankies. You's gonna need 'em. 

Where are the ex-FGC Warri people at?

I can see my former school tune here and it brings back memories of annoyingly long assemblies on Mondays and Fridays.

Ah. Great FedGoCol. I thee revere.

, I find it hard to believe that I have not played a single game this year! Oh well.

There was this site offering free downloads of games: http://angernet.org/?id=fullgames,
Somehow I have not been able to get any to work!

Anyone with ideas where I can get something that actually DOES work?

kellorah:
lmao
i like the way BASORGE TARIAH jnr spoke pidgin using all them warri slangs in  SCAVENGERS
I'm tripping!

Well,  till today, I dey bow when Waffi person dey blow im levels, but Benin still get dia own crase.

This is the last time I write in pidgin here, I hope.

In English!!

What's up Retro? A bit too deep for you to understand? 
It reads like English to me!
Ah, I hate pidgin English.

Erm, u sure say una go wan make una pikin dey tear pidgin like say dem be bus conductor for Uselu Market for Benin? And I no gree wit wetin Mer-c talk b4: no b efribody wey dey Naija dey blow pidgin. Most people dey hear, no be all sabi fit yarn. When I dey stay Kaduna, I dey go boarding school 4 Waffi. If I carry the pidgin wey dem gif me 4 Waffi come nack dem for Kaduna, some people go dey look me like say dem shack Mumuzade. I don tok am b4: una don hear Hausa man dey yarn pidgin wey laugh no go wan kill u? Or any of una don enter Yenegoa for Bayelsa go hear dia own version?
When I dey England, pidgin no be big tin, all my Area papa plus mama dey efry corner. But as I dey Germany so, some people dey trip as me and my paddy dem dey change gear from Queens English enter Pidgin come flow English back. My belle dey sweet me like that becos dem know say dis black men go school even if dem no dey code wetin we dey yarn.
Yarn am! Blow d tin! Scatter ground wit am! Dey proud of am! But no talk say people MUST learn am just becos say you get control over dem. As I tok befor, if dem no wan learn, wetin u wan do? Beat dem? Break dia head? Notin dey happen! Erm, 2face, no vex.
Anyway, I no sure say e good if to say pidgin be official language for Naija. English dey okay as e dey. Nothing fit change am. But una fit do prayer and fasting sha. For Naija, miracle fit happen.

just for 2 soldiers. how many people have died now?

israel should stop.

please

You have successfully reduced the lives of the abducted soldiers to mere statistics.

Its not difficult to find a translator on the net
Ok, lets try it out and see if it works.

English :  It is a good day to be on the beach

Pidgin : na di guud day fo bi on di beach .

Igbo:  ya na mma otu ubochi na na na onu mmiri .

I ony speak english and use this little translator to understand some of your posts a little better 

How did it do ?

Actuallly, not too good. That reads like Creole, not Nigerian Pidgin.
Many ethnic groups in Nigeria would translate that sentence in different ways, but the way in which you put it is, to me, not the way a Nigrian would put it.

'Today too bam. Make we waka go beach'. Or, with a little science twist: 'Today jus jel. Make we evaporate, come condense for beach.' are some of the ways in which that stuff of yours can be put.

Keep on trying though. It's nice to know someone is interested in it.

he has to learn o, thats what u call love, ma mum speaks pidgin, yoruba ike crase, pupsi speaks tagalog even more than me

Once again: or else wetin go happen? 

Almost forgot: there is a basic rule of communication etiquette:

When more than two people are speaking together, it is polite to use the language they all understand.

So, but I am sure some pidgin lovers will disagree and say :' na u sabi' , it is rude to speak pidgin English (or any other lingo) that excludes someone else especially when you are ALL engaged in the same conversation . Breeds suspicion, my fellow 9jan kicked out his Ghanian friend on Friday because he suspected he had been backstabbing him  in Twi. Are you honestly gonna tell me that it doesn't get on your nerves too?

E get when man pikin dey fire pidgin and im suppose know when and where to stop am. Becos you be ghetto mama or papa no mean say every 9jan wey dey 9ja fit blow pidgin. No always tink say dem dey form. You don hear typical Hausa person dey yarn pidgin wey laugh no go wan kill you? I know say until I graduate from university, I dey hardly yarn am,  and I bin come from Edo, even dey school for UNIBEN! My paddy dem know, and dem take am like dat, come even dey defend me wen another person say i dey form.

Now I switch back and forth with ease but, I only engage when the other person or people start speaking in it. Living in Germany makes me fiercely protective of the English I know, because I have started THINKING in German. Nein,  Englisch über alles! Can't let any street lingo corrupt my English database.

As for the pidgin, I know say if I stroll go 9ja, the one wey I don forget, I go learn am again. By the way, if any of you ladies are thinking of using the word 'must' when describing how you feel you want your spouses, bfs or kids to learn pidgin i.e MUST learn pidgin, forget it. It doesn't work like that. After all, your teachers said you must  learn English, and you ended up preferring pidgin instead.

WTF!? I just wrote a text in pidgin! 

exactly,  even if i mary white, he most learn that pidgin,  me to i dey ghetto oo

Or else, ?

I grew up speaking grammatically correct English at home because my parents were very particular about it. I am grateful for that. We may say that pidgin English is more widely spoken within Nigeria, but then Nigeria is not the whole world. It has always been a source of irritation when I see Nigerians over here struggling to knit sentences together in the same language that they were actually taught in school with.
While in my last two years in the university, I learnt how to speak pidgin English and can now smoothly switch between both. So I can converse with the Queen as well as the tomato seller at Uselu Market in Benin.
The issue here is that I got solidly drilled in universally spoken English BEFORE venturing into learning pidgin English.
Whether we want to admit it or not, learning both languages the other way round is not very wise. Pidgin English may sound cool, but what seems cool isn't always cool. I can't have my kids jabbering away like bus-conductors plying the Ugbowo-Ring Road route in Benin while they are still in their formative years.
Finally, pidgin to my parents? Never.
My parents to their kids? Never.
My parents to the neighbours back then? Sometimes.
Us to the neighbours? Sometimes.
All in all: I have the best of both worlds, but still prefer speaking correct English.
