The gym closed at half five. That is le rubbish. I had only got about halfway through my stuff.
If half five half after five, four-thirty, or what?
half five is 5.30pm.
silly non-Brits and their inability to talk about time properly.
Silly Brits and their vague timespeak. Quit dropping key words and we'll know what you meant!
Half to five...
Half passed five...
I don't think anyone would ever say half to five in British English. I've certainly never known anybody to. Then again I've never known Americans to do so either.

Champion's Online problem is a lack of zones and too simplistic of combat. Going between 3 places for the first 30 levels (out of 40) was really lame. And using 2-3 abilities was also really dull. A single target attack, an AOE attack and an escape ability do not make a good MMO game.
Yeah the intial offering of content in CO made the COH's horribly anemic content look robust by comparison.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I still think the Wii looks good on an HDTV, though. My dad bought a 50" TV, and Metroid Prime 3 looks fantastic. I'm used to a little 12", but coming home for the break and playing on a nice TV is amazing.
To lots of people the difference between interlaced and progressive footage is bigger than SD vs HD.
p;us most HDTVs are upconverting a 480 p signal anyway
huh. well I guess I will fire up smash brothers when I get home and see how it looks.
*note: i havent even turned the wii on since I got the tv because I have been so in awe of blu-ray and my ps3 games
you are using the component cables and have it on 480p mode right?
the wii or the tv?
or the ps3?
confused
also- justin did you try Pony's "play it like an FPS' method for champions? SO MUCH FUN
For some reason it is cheaper to book London -> Amsterdam by travelling "Leisure select" class on Eurostar to Brussels, and first class on Thalys to Amsterdam than it is to book both legs standard class.

Nah, I don't think anyone would really say that here anyway. They'd just say that was half passed four. We do use quarter to and after, though.

The moral is that German aside "half five" means the same everywhere.

Don't complain. Nothing better than not having to sit with the rest of the sheep.

I hate people who say "Ding" or other similar stupid declarations of level in an mmo. Especially when they are like level 5.
Man, back in the Everquest days gaining a level was an event. The entire zone would leave their camps and hold a parade to celebrate such a rare treat.

Yeah and the "Welcome back to 49 message" was also a treat.

It is simple math guys.
Yeah. I had to fix this. It's not specific to this thread.
Nobody says "half to".

You're telling me that you would divide seventeen by two and end up with sixteen and a half?
man oh man. i fucking love amsterdam.

set wii to 480p, 16x9

Halving something does not increase it.
Shit I better learn the german way in case I'm ever infiltrating nazi germany.

It means absolutely nothing in North America. You'd be looked at as though you were mad.

It was a pretty obvious joke...
once again, you help me enjoy my new television
You've seen in IB how horribly wrong it can go.
Err, this is not the case. This is the first time ever I have heard someone thinking that half[time] involves an increase of time by one hour.
Yeah and the "Welcome back to 49 message" was also a treat.

"Half five" meaning "half past five" is a result of people saying "half past", never saying "half to" and dropping the extraneous word.
You aren't halving anything. It's one half plus five.
I've got my german mannerisms cheat sheet ready to go.
