Metro 2033 LARPing

Metro 2033 LARPing

 

Honestly Kelt min, the shite you find on youtube!

Honestly Kelt min, the shite you find on youtube!

 

LARPing is serious business.

 

These guys are fucking amateurs though. Dude with the pingpong balls should have known his 'Lightning Bolt' spell wasn't going to work after the second cast, but he just keeps on throwing his fucking pingp... I mean casting his Lighhting Bolt spell at Giant Horse Heid Dude regardless.

 

I reckon the chick clapping like an excited seal at the end was doing so sarcastically.

 

EDIT: Anyway.. Metro 2033 LARPing, that would be the shit.

Or a re enactment of the subway shootout in Modern Warfare 3...

[caledonia]

They could give homeless people somewhere to sleep

or stick all the zombie huns down there

 

edit kelt what the fuck is that midden and how do you find that shit

LARPing?

 

Live Action Role Playing, where likeminded fans of Dungeons and Dragons can dress up as Elves and Pixies and Goblins and Kobolds, and recreate famous battles from Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones using foam rubber swords and pingpong balls.

 

There's a worrying.. make that depressing... number of IT guys into that sort of thing.

 

I'm not, I like stuff like shoving my cock in females, drinking Jack Daniels, fitba, Industrial and Goth music, and dressing up like a Na'vi and shooting arrows at dummies.

 

Fuck.

 

[granite sheep]

Fuck that blue space elf/cat people nonsense: Paintball is what fucking around in the woods was invented for. But.....a Metro 2033 or MW3 re enactment in those abandoned subway tunnels and stations.... Now that's nae a bad idea at all!

Probably cos nae cunt wants to live underground, unless they're being bombed to fuck of course, then its cool.

No before Friday though I'm due there for a hate fuck.

I found this really interesting today when I read it but there seems to be more pictures now.

 

This doesn't mean I like you though.

 

There are disused tunnels in Glasgow and Edinburgh but not to the level of these pics. The fact some of these stations are still pretty well kept does beg the question of why they are not being used.

 

 

This is the station at the botanics in Glasgow http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5095/5529282682_97e9ab3167_z.jpg

[actonsheep]

Some good detail on the stations (with pics) here too.

 

http://www.abandonedstations.org.uk/

 

The main problem with using them is the majority are situated on current running lines, a lot of the closures were due to other stations nearby expanding, and gaining a new entrance near the station in question, or just weren't used much in the first place - it was rare for entire lines to close. I'd imagine its pretty hard to adapt a building for another use when you have a couple of trains running down the middle of it every 60 seconds. Then there'd be the expense of bringing them up to modern standards - replacement ventilation, lifts, escalators etc. In some cases there is no ground level access at all remaining, so you'd need new entrance/service buildings. Land that wouldn't be cheap in C.London, even if it hadn't already been built over.

 

There have been some rumours of people coming up with ideas for them, but nothing has ever come off - the asking price for "Brompton Road" was apparently £20 million quid, so that might be part of the reason. Maybe the MOD want to hold onto them for some reason, I'd imagine they could be quite useful.

 

Subterranean London is fascinating. We've been building here for thousands of years, theres tons of shit down there!

[granite sheep]

Aberdeen round about the Castlegate and Castlehill is supposed to be riddled with medieval passageways and random tunnels apparently.

[minijc]

Secret raves, get yourself in, a quality sound system, decks and some booze, you could have a rare night.

Never knew any of this always assumed every square inch of London would be used up

See film crews use some

Only stumbled upon abandoned stations when looking for underground bunkers in the UK

This sign I found amusing

I am pretty sure that there are loads o tunnels and passageways around that area of Abirdeen that are riddled, filthy area

 

I'm fascinated by the culvert that carries the Den Burn, goes underground at Gilcomston and does not reappear till just out in front of the Moorings Bar

[daytripping]

Would make amazing apartments, a pad under Monument would be fucking great, no heating bills, London on your doorstep, I'd live there nae bother. Like living under the flightpath you'd get used to the noise.

 

Or as Mini says, Rave club would be good, perfect setting.

Between Bankhead park and Stoneywood papermill is a tunnel we called the Deviler, as a kid it was great going through it, proper explorer shit, must be near half a mile long, you had to catch it on a dry day as a burn runs through it.

 

I've heard of the tunnels you mean, meant to be a maze down there.

I remember the divler.

Walking through there, zero light until you turned the slight corner and saw the end in sight.

Security at the mill didn't take kindly to kids popping out of there. These days the youth will be battling on their PS4'S, little do they know the real fun to be had on your own doorstep. There were gaps in the cobblestones alongside the water, one wrong step and you had wet feet, at the time we thought it was one wrong step and you're nae coming out of that tunnel alive.

got to agree this is taken from another site

 

Congratulations to all born in 1930's, 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's and Early 80's

 

First, you survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.

 

Then after that trauma, your baby cots were covered with bright-coloured lead-based paints.

 

You had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when you rode your bikes, you had no helmets, not to mention the risks you took hitchhiking…

 

As children, you would ride in cars with no seatbelts or air bags. Riding in the back of a van – loose – was always great fun.

 

You drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle. You shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO-ONE actually died from this.

 

You ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but you weren’t overweight because… YOU WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

 

You would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on.

 

No-one was able to reach you all day. And you were OK. You would spend hours building your go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out you forgot the brakes.

 

After running into the bushes a few times, you learned to solve the problem. You did not have PlayStations, Nintendos, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no videotape movies, no surroundsound, no mobile phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no internet or internet chat rooms… YOU HAD FRIENDS and you went outside and found them!

 

You fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents you played with worms (well most boys did) and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

 

You made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although you were told it would happen, you did not poke out any eyes.

 

You rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Local teams had try-outs and not everyone made the team.

 

Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing you out if you broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

 

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

 

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. You had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and you learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them!

 

CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.

 

And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.”

Borrowing a small idea from Hitler, why not transport the entire population of Glasgow, with unwarranted force, that goes without saying, and utilize such facilities.

No before Friday though I'm due there for a hate fuck.

 

 

I'm going to vote Jigot at the next election. Ps is your name Jigot related to Gigot?

While we are reminiscing the wee burn that runs next to the Old Pulteney distillery was a frequent toilet of mine. So if you've ever drank the 21 yr old there is a fair to middling chance you've drank my pish.

Seconded.

 

May I suggest taking the opportunity to gas the cunts when they arrive? Don't follow Hitlers example on that one though - you won't trick weegies into taking a shower.

[Poodler]

It's amazing that after all the endeavour of building an underground maze that they just aren't used anymore. Starting to build the underground must have been a fucking nightmare. Respect to those guys.

[Robbie Winters]

Think I'll forward this thread to Marie Boulton

aye Ah spelt ma name fuckin' wrong at the start. Ah telt Rocket in a pm and he's kept shtoom. I wondered how long it would take tbh. I'm just glad nae cunt took me as a jig lovin hun

[dervish]

I think you're pulling my leg.

Some wifie is already living underground in one of those old style public lavvies which she converted. Her windows are paving slabs with glass inserts, through which she can see people walking over the top of her home.

As city land becomes more expensive for bussiness/housing (esp in london) I bet some of these old stations will eventually be turned into subterranean offices or even housing.
