I have a PSP now.
so spectere, eggman, bobbias and i are old fogies in compairison to the rest of the site?
ALSO, i don't like to admit it, but im starting to like this battlestar galactica stuff. i first started watching it because there was nothing better on, and all the show is, is drama, and im not much for drama. but i guess its pretty aight. id still rather be watching stargate atlantis/sg1/any version of star trek.
Helpful hint to the other guys out there: Don't get really fucking drunk and get in the car with some kid and your friends who are all really drunk and then go to some random guy's house and text your ex for like 3 hours detailing how you both cheated on each other even though you wanted to get back together and then ending up hating her and yourself for it and cutting all contact.
:/
Shit last night was one of the worst nights in my life. I also had to walk home like 2 miles with just a t-shirt on in fucking 30 degree weather and strong winds, and fell asleep on my desk because my female friend was locked out of her room so I gave her my bed, and puked the following morning after waking up at 7 am, and then going to bed again at 11 to wake up again at 2, thus wasting like half my day.
Fuck my life sucks. Getting drunk again tonight though to NUMB THE PAIN.
I'm so fucking tired.
I just accidentally drop tested my PSP from about five feet onto a tiled floor.
The game popped out of the slot (while the system was playing it...woo), the GBA filler "cartridge" fell out, and the stylus went flying.

Regardless, my condolences. That really sucks. You're right, though...bad as it is, it could have been a lot worse.

Also, Spec, I have a question. Do you remember, either driving on the way to my house or to your place, driving past a bunch of Indian people who were crossing the street?
Because I found out today that by some incredible coincidence, those are the same Indians who took about a hundred jobs at my Nielsen plant. They were all higher-up jobs, like, Information Specialist and Trainer Associates, but still, wtf. That's crazy o_o
but what can you do?

I could beat some of my friends without getting Ko'ed in Melee, but in Brawl it's usually 50/50. That is what makes Brawl less competitive, the randomness and that being better doesn't mean winning.
Why would anyone go to a tournament where they're playing for money(or not) if training and effort won't make you win? It's like going to a coin flipping tournament, except the coin takes a lot longer to fall.
That's how I feel. I would enter a brawl tournament even though I don't think the game is as competitive as melee. I would rather enter a melee tournament though. I'm really good at it even though I never had a chance to really get into the tournament scene. Also, I don't own a wii and haven't been able to play brawl very much.
No see you guys are still not noticing the big picture.

The display of Schvarts' project will feature a large cube suspended from the ceiling of a room in the gallery of Green Hall. Schvarts will wrap hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting around this cube; lined between layers of the sheeting will be the blood from Schvarts' self-induced miscarriages mixed with Vaseline in order to prevent the blood from drying and to extend the blood throughout the plastic sheeting.
Schvarts will then project recorded videos onto the four sides of the cube. These videos, captured on a VHS camcorder, will show her experiencing miscarriages in her bathrooom tub, she said. Similar videos will be projected onto the walls of the room.
i just realized that i can close tabs by clicking the middle mouse key, WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME THIS!!!!!>!>!!?!??!??

IM TOTALLY BLOWING STUFF UP AS A ROBOT TO JET SET RADIO
i love this
also, after being forced to download gomplayer to watch the live starcraft games at www.gomtv.net, i realized that i really like the player, and winamp will now go to collecting virtual dust.
SOMEONE BURNT MICROWAVE RAMEN NOODLES.
I've never used gomplayer, got more info? I only use winamp for my music, but it'd be damn hard to give me a reason to switch from winamp to something else. I think my winamp can play more types of files than VLC can at this point. (yay for all those input plugins)

you know, i think i may go back to winamp for music, but im sticking with gomplayer for video.
i can't really say anything, other than i used the player and i liked it more than winamp. for music, it works just fine, only theres no way to shrink the player to a small little bar, and there isn't a button to skip tracks (as far as i know of).
but for video it works great, the thing is chock full of codecs, so you shouldn't have a problem playing just about anything you come across.
or uninstall everything and keep winamp and gomplayer
Wow today was a shitty day. Have had a sore throat all day (still do) and had 3 test which I was COMPLETELY unprepared for. Also Yatzee haets brawl, which makes me like him so much more.
well that eliminates them in my quest of having to switch from verizon next month.
Oh yeah about that. I'll be sure to let you know of mine and Dan's new numbers... my contract is up end of May so... I think we're probably going to go with Alltel just because my entire family's on it, and Dan can get that 5 people thing and put his family on there.

Anyway, GTA4 is fucking amazing. I'm seriously considering dropping a lot of money on a 360 now because of it (and of course shit like Dead Rising and NHL 08 others) but at the same time I just don't have the money or time to get involved with it. Fuck life was so much easier when all I had to spend money on was video games.
I finally (nearly) completed my bedroom networking system thingy. I connected my computer, server, stereo, SNES, N64, input selector, TV, UPS, and RF modulator together.
you actually get used to bending over and picking up things off the ground fairly fast, or I did at least. I worked at a fucking convention center last summer, I just walked around a swept things up for 10 hours strait. I only got one 15 minutes break, and I could not sit down the entire shift. My feet fucking hurt to say the least.

Remember the days when low-poly models were all the rage? Remember when developers were talking about their 500-700 poly player models for Quake 2?
I just took a look at the web site for Tactical Ops 3 (http://www.tacticalops3.com/), a mod for UT3. One of the screenshots that they have on the site features a wireframe model of an AK and, well, the magazine alone has 1432 polygons. That's only a single part of a weapon model. The body of the weapon has 8343 polygons, giving you a combined total of 9775 polys. I'm pretty sure that weapon alone has more polys than your average scene in Quake.
It's amazing how much things change in 10 years.

When I met him with iPatch last summer I guess he was pretty 8) with us, so he kept in touch.
iPatch saw a show he had in Kansas city and he got to hang out with him for a while, autographed his DS, etc. After the show, iPatch gave me a call, put Benn on, and we talked.

Also, I talked/debated with a friend about religion, and they ended up giving up christianity right then and there.
Wow, cool.
It's always good to know your way around another religion when you're debating it :P
I have a lot of fun debating theological aspects of Christianity, and the importance of them, considering the fact that I'm agnostic.

I never could get into debates about religion. Maybe its because I don't really know much about the topic to get into it?

Also yeah, I feel bad about him saying he's sensitive about his face, when everyone EVERYWHERE says "lol moonlike".

rofl i probably should have clarified. it was alive. it tore shit up and then decided to go to sleep. animal control wouldn't come out until today. i guess bloodthirsty beasts rampaging on somebody's property isn't as important as catching some Z's. they didn't come until this afternoon. my dad was going to shoot it but then they came and it was all aiight.
we would have just forced it out the gate and let let it go but little kids play all around our neighborhood.
So it wasn't nice? Pits aren't traditionally mean, but unless it was raised for fighting then thrown in your yard to trash the evidence, I wouldn't go fucking near it.

I'm actually kind of interested. If it can be similar to wow, but with some non cookie cutter PVP and less GRINDAN it will probably be fun.
as for the action game comment, remember when halo came out, people decided the only games that would be made are CONSOLE SHOOTAN GAEMS(FFFFF pc > console in terms of shootans). so until they come out with a kickass action game with kickass online multiplayer (this = lots of games sold, unfortunately) continue to see few good action games coming out.
yet.
So apparently Venetian Snares were playing in Portland last night (where I live) but I didn't go because I was having an awesome time with some old friends.
old friends > lots of things
It's 10 minutes to 8AM and I haven't slept yet.
Exactly. I'd love to see a properly executed online fighting game. That could really bring a new style of game out.
i kind of raged from it
but i mean, halo DID basically make the xbox into what it is today. i wouldn't have gotten an xbox without halo, hell, i hated fps games before halo.
And seriously, if Halo was such a bad game people wouldn't be playing it in such volumes. Its multiplayer might not be as furious as that of the original Doom, but it's very well balanced (as of Halo 2, anyway...I haven't played Halo 3 multiplayer). It really is a highly refined title. Also, don't forget that it essentially brought back co-op back into the spotlight.
Wat, Halo 3 isn't even the top played xbox live game, CoD4 is. That's on xbox live ALONE, not counting PS3 and PC numbers.
Also Halo is fucking far from balanced, sniper can shoot just as easily non scoped as it can be scoped, due to it still having a cross hare (I don't care if it's small, it's still large enough to see). It also has no change to projection when you unscoped/walk, so accurate shooting is still mighty easy, and you have FOUR FUCKING SHOTS, when it takes 2 ANYWHERE to kill someone. Any decent person will wreck 2 people with one clip of the sniper before they can do jack shit.
Also the sword can be a campers dream weapons (in a medium room).
Also everything else is just shit compared to snipers, rockets, and the sword.

spectere set that ut99 server back up for spectere.net :-D
Spec, I haven't got much to say
And the maps are designed in such a way that the snipers can get raped. And the game is designed so that they can be easily knocked about.
And seriously, try actually tacking a moving target, unscoped. It's not that easy to do it accurately. The only way you'd be able to accurately track someone at enough of a distance where they can't destroy you with assault rifles is if you're insanely steady, your sensitivity settings are low enough that CQB is impossible, or the other player isn't even trying. Seriously, I can't think of a single instance where a sniper was able to take me down unscoped and I'm certainly not a good Halo player.
If the sniper rifle were as good as you're trying to imply, nobody would bother with assault rifles. In my experience, people gravitate towards BRs.
Step 1) Pick up shotgun.
Step 2) When you see swordsman, start shooting.
Step 3) Teabag your attacker's corpse.
Spec, I haven't got much to say, thanks to your pointing out pretty much everything I was gonna say about Halo. Sure, it didn't invent the genre, but it certainly brought the genre to where it is today. It IS well balanced (From the amount I've played anyway). I've got no gripes at all about the game, aside from maybe wanting more maps (which is only a minor gripe at best).
double tap any direction to dodge, while in midair, jump
its like sling shotting yourself medium distances around the map
unscoped in a close to medium range is exactly like shooting someone from a distance with the scope, it's just that you can see more and they'll probably try to move a bit more to dodge you. Also the reason people like BR is because it's flexible, and it's basically the only thing that can combat the sniper at distance, every other gun at any half decent range just shits on its self when trying to hit someone.
Good luck finding the shotgun first, it's usually just as rare as the sword on maps that have both. that and they're still is the uncertainty with it.
Also the rocket lawchair is at it's best in medium range, just jump and remotely shoot at their feet. Splash damage always catches them.
I hardly find it balanced, the only way to beat someone with a power weapon is to find them first, start shooting them before they damage you (also another thing I absolutely HATE about halo, letting a person get behind you and shoot you with any half decent gun basically means you are as good as dead, due to their not being any real body weak points) and hopefully kill them before they notice you.
Also about map balance, it's also bad. Snipers on that one big map with 2 bases have the roof to start at, and also have teleporters to run if they start to be approached from too many people. Also on that smaller metal map that "floats", the sniper has one of the highest spots on the map and only one walk way to get up to it, so any half decent person will unscope time to time to check his back.

75-85 degree temperatures are killing me, if i didn't have a nice cool basement to take refuge from the heat in, id be MISERABLE.
It's consistently low 90s and extraordinarily humid here.
just because the story with solid snake was wrapped up, doesn't mean the metal gear series is dead. i hoped to eventually hear this when i heard "mgs4 is the last metal gear solid game FEATURING SOLID SNAKE" as in, there will be more metal gear, there already is more metal gear in metal gear online.
blablabla, more metal gear in the coming years + kojima can work on his other franchises, lets cross our fingers for a ZoE 3
but from the sounds of it, he is looking to create a new series, and this isn't a bad thing.

spec: maybe you should just use a browser with less suck.
That said, IE8 is pretty badass. It's nice to see that Microsoft is actually shooting for standards compliance now. The rendering engine is capable of passing Acid2 now
terrible as in IE6? Or would IE6 be considered far worse than "terrible"?
Only website my IE6 has been to was mozilla.com to download firefox. =o I simply refuse to use IE6 for any reason. Its security holes are far too numerous as well as dangerous.
I'd say worse than terrible simply for the lack of tabs. IE7 is "terrible."
Like I said, IE8 is actually pretty good. The rendering engine is very solid, probably as good as FF3's in full standards compliance mode. As far as security is concerned, that hasn't been proven yet.
The security holes have pretty much all been patched. Microsoft is actually far better about patching security vulnerabilities than Mozilla is.
The main reason you get so many IE users with spyware and crap is because they press "ALLOW" for absolutely everything. Considering spyware "vendors" are rolling out Java-powered installers nowadays, Safari, Opera, and Firefox are no more safe than IE is to an untrained luser.
I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I learned a few things today:
1) It's a 30 minute walk from my apartment to the nearest plaza.
2) My cell phone's stereo headset yields amazing audio clarity and it was a free accessory with the phone.
3) Playing MP3s for an hour rapes my cell phone's battery (down to 1/3 bars). Yikes.
But anyways, 3 mile walk == I feel great. :D

Yeah, it does hardware ratings. They're fine when it comes to lower-end hardware but they are limited to 5.9, making it pretty much useless with upper-mid-range and high-end systems.
Long story short, my computer would get the same rating as a system with dual, heavily overclocked Core 2 Quads with three GeForce GTX280s. Does that make sense? I think not.
This is why they make benchmarking software, though. Typical home users don't give a shit how their system compares to high performance builds.

TLDR INC
well i had an awesome 4th edition session today.
let me try to sum it up, most of the awesome came at the end.
-first encounter, everybody but me got feared into a group of zombies, took care of them easily
-second encounter was a hall with infinite spawning skeleton minions, was a bit of a pain in the ass, till the paladin figured out what to do, killing them off.
-third encounter was a skill encounter, we all rolled pretty good and passed this one without needing to go into combat
-we all decided to rest and recover-
-somebody messaged the paladin that danger is coming to the town (and we are here trying to do something to protect said town)
-the paladin because of his faith in his diety (bahamut) is compelled to leave and save the town, i go along with him(partially because of my diety, kord, so i can test my bravery and stuff. any little thing i can do to "role play" my character, as i suck at role playing), the other 3 players stay here to complete the objective. so we pretty much split up
-the other 3 encounter an easy zombie encounter and take it out with slightly more difficulty, but not much.
-we ride BLAZINGLY fast towards the town, arrive, and head to the graveyard where all the shenanigans is happening.
-there is a glyph we need to take out, and me the only guy with skill in arcana (not much, but its there) is the only one capable of taking out said glyph.
-we run in...and....elven archer + 2 melee zombies + 12 archer zombies....
to make the epic encounter short(k i can't really do that), we got a few minor bonuses from our gods(+5 healing, the paladin did radient damage), because this is a challenge 5 fight...with 2 people.
i spend the encounter healing myself with minor actions while "botching" a bit of arcana rolls to take out the glyph, while the paladin defends me from the melee zombies, as the archers attack the both of us.
every turn pretty much, we lose nearly half of our total hp...so we blow all of our encounter and daily powers, and i blow all of my healing powers.
anyway, i kick the glyph out, all the zombies die, and we ass rush the archer. we both equally fuck her up, she runs away, paladin charges, and i finish her off with a lance of faith.
blablabla, our characters have cajones (sp?), that was an awesome encounter, and kord had better enjoy the bravery my character just shown.
level 3 dwarven cleric (not the melee variety) and a level 3 dragonborn paladin
tldr version- play 4th edition, lessn' you are a neckbeard who can't handle change, you should definatley enjoy the changes that were made.
My work is 7.5 miles away, so it'd be 15 miles roundtrip. I thought of doing that a few weeks ago but my girlfriend talked me out of it. I can't honestly say I'd want to ride for an hour back home after I get off work nearing 10. Maybe once I bike more and build up my stamina it wouldn't be so ridiculous.
And I'm not sure what kind of bike I have. I think it is a mountain bike... it has 21 gears for different levels of gearage. I should probably save up for a cool bike like yours, how much did it run you?

I just watched Superhero Movie with a couple of my friends. We all went into it expecting it to be completely horrible like the last few parody movies, but it was actually really funny. The plotline was coherent and the jokes didn't completely revolve around toilet humor. Admittedly, a few of the jokes were carried out too long, but it was still a fairly good movie.
Apparently there is now a way to play PS2 ISOs without modding a system. It's just a specific memory card exploit and a patch for the ISO so the system recognizes it as a DVD Video disc. Huh.

It's quite buggy.
But it's still a fine game, despite that. There are some really dumb things about it (i.e. clear weapon jams with reloads, battles that are VERY HEAVILY stacked against you, etc) but it has a certain quality about it that makes it hard to put down.
change of subject: i have 4 less wisdom teeth now. i haven't completelycome don from the anesthesia yed.
I've heard this, but I've also heard with the right patches and mods that it is an awesome game. I was thinking of buying it and the new expansion/game whenever it comes out.
Also I'm thinking about selling my Wii, after I play MM9, the new Wario game, and Pikmin 3. They still go for a good price with a decent amount of games right?
Why would you sell it when there are obviously new games still coming out for it that you want to play? Considering Pikmin 3 probably hasn't even started production yet (probably), you won't even be selling it for like...a year at least? And by that point, if you can't find a game worth playing, you're lying or haven't looked hard enough (especially since Mad World should be out by then holy crap).
I mean, are you really basing this on their E3 stuff, where they openly stated that they weren't doing anything really special for it since it had been reduced to such a small convention? I'm not sure what's up with this knee-jerk reaction everyone seems to have with E3 this year.

Urbex is pretty wicked. I wish there was shit to explore around here, there aren't even any decent swamps.
Also, that picture of that penny is terrible. You need to either a) focus that shit, or B) put that case someplace the camera could actually focus on.
Nah, doesn't work like that. My camera blows for close-ups of anything in any sense. It's just plain impossible. I used to use my sister's camera for pictures of my coins but she moved out last week. My camera does not focus.
So, the AC adapter on our main router died (it's a 12V brick that was putting out nearly 16V when I checked it...oops), leaving us without shared Internet access. That is bad.
Then the WAN port on our Linksys BEFSR41 suddenly started working again (the reason we got the newer router is because that port stopped working), letting us put things mostly back to the way they were (though we don't have enough switch ports at the moment, unfortunately). That is good.
Hopefully the router didn't get damaged when the AC adapter blew out. If we can revive it using a $10 brick from Radio Shack that'll be awesome (we don't have reliable wi-fi now -- we do have a US Robotics AP/router that my dad uses as an overglorified switch but it drops the signal constantly).
Linksys sucks. Every some odd months my connection will just die and i'll panic and think something bad happened.

I'm a big shit, thank you very much. <3;D
Also, yayz for my new StepMania setup! StepMania 4.0 + dubaiOne + Cobalt Flux + My Old Computer + Gentoo = Yeehaw! The only real issue that I've had is that my Cobalt Flux control box, for some reason, reports that it's a standard Xbox controller. This wouldn't be a problem, but the xpad kernel driver refuses to map the d-pad to buttons under any circumstance if the controller is known. I did a quick hack (i.e. forcing it to map the d-pad as buttons for that particular controller) but I think I'm going to eventually do it the right way in time (expose an option that allows someone to override those settings). I've been keeping my changes in patch files to allow me to easily update the tree of future kernels, though considering how often xpad seems to receive updates (last update was with kernel version 2.6.16.X -- we're at 2.6.26 now, and my StepMania machine is running a 2.6.25 level kernel since that's what's marked stable in portage).
The machine is pretty nice...really a testament to Gentoo's incredible flexibility (combined with a little bit of hackery by yours truly). It's set to auto-login root on boot on all consoles. There are two major runlevels -- the standard "default" and "nox." They have the same startup services, but if my additions to /etc/conf.d/local.start picks up that the user is running in the default runlevel it starts X/StepMania automagically. Speaking of that, starting StepMania is a one-step process from the command prompt. Just type sm40 from anywhere and that X startup script will start X and immediately start da StepMan. If you don't need the shell at all, however, starting StepMania is a matter of booting the machine, selecting the entry in GRUB, and letting the system boot itself up.
I ended up setting up a window manager in X just for the sake of having something there if I want to do any high-resolution work, since I don't have a console framebuffer in place. Since the system won't typically have a mouse connected to it, I configured and installed dwm -- an extremely light tabbed window manager that requires nothing more than a keyboard and a display -- to use a single tab and to full-screen everything. Terminals are set to spawn with Win+Enter, windows are paged through using Alt+J/K, and windows are brought to the main pane with Alt+Enter. Very simple to use, intuitive, and exactly what I needed. This desktop gets invoked when you type "startx" at the command prompt.
The next step is to get a menu system in place so that I can switch between multiple StepMania versions (I plan to have OpenITG and 4.0 selectable when the joystick input in OpenITG becomes usable), quit out of X, or halt the system. It'll all be joystick and keyboard-controlled so that, ultimately, I won't have to even have a keyboard attached to it. I already wrote a small joystick test program, so all that's left is figuring out the nuances of X11 programming (which may or may not be an exercise in frustration...we'll see).

Eee pc what is das?
I have a ITG ignition afterburner pad that I want to sell, what's the easiest way to find a buyer so I can get rid of this thing?
As far as hardware is concerned, pretty much the only things they can do are A) browse the web (on a tiny as fuck screen), B) Word processing/other office type things, C) play music and D) play oldschool games like Doom, or something that takes basically no hardware requirements (because anything that requires much of a computer will never work on one of those things, and with a screen that small, who would want to play those anyway?)
Third, your argument that tech-savvy people wouldn't be interested in them is far from the truth.
Then about 10 seconds later we found in his freezer a dead frozen snake. Eventful night.
and by snake, I don't mean a a small one hat crawled into his freezer, I mean a foot and a half boa in a plastic bag frozen solid. Good god.
It uses a full installation of Linux so you can pretty much do anything with it.
What the hell was a boa doing in the freezer? Is someone trying to play a live version of MGS3: Snake Eater?
Then again I woulnd't mind using Vista if I had the time and the machine to run it. Considering a co-worker who told me about the whole Mohavie thing Microsoft did...very sneaky of them.
I will note one major downside to the stock OS: Before being able to strip away all the stuff I wasn't going to use, I had to do all of this: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:removeunionfs
I'm getting worried about flying again.
Eeawughoidfh04. Haet it.
That is all.
Don't forget about pron!!!
So I'm probably going to try out Rose online, anyone here ever play it? I've heard it was a good free MMO and I've got time to kill.
XD
Also I need to start emulating. I didn't even own an SNES so I've got catching up to do.
nigga, super metroid is where its at
sonnnnnnnnnnn
http://www.spectere.net/smf/index.php?topic=2.msg2#msg2
Fuck. Yes.
I highly recommend playing it with a gamepad of some sorts, though -- preferably one with a good d-pad. Super Metroid does not play well on a keyboard in my experience.
Didn't I reply to you somewhere else with a google search for an emulation website?
I just use a PS1 controller with my SNES games. I have an EMS USB2 two-port PSX controller adapter. PS controllers are basically the same as SNES controllers physically, except with two analogue sticks and another set of shoulder buttons, and handles.

Why haven't you been paying much attention? I've been following this stuff and I'm not even an American citizen. You can try Wikipedia though. I can't guarantee how unbiased they actually are, but they are supposed to be as unbiased as possible, so that's likely one of the least biased places on the internet.
Also, does anyone know of a good, unbiased website that shows the views of each presidential candidate? I'd rather not use their official sites, or go and vote knowing little about them.
Just downloaded xfire, anyone else have it? Also I JUST bought CoD4, seems pretty kawaii.
Funny you should say that, my girlfriend found these really good, informative fact sheets about the two candidates' backgrounds and stances on issues. And it's 100% unbiased. I should mail you one :D
I do.
The stage after that is retarded. So was The Bog. And the Broadcast Room. And every other place where guys spawn infinitely until you reach a certain location.
my gba sp's battery, is dead. it will no longer hold a charge, i need a new one. thats ok, i mean, i had the thing since the sp's came out, these things die with time.
my nintendo ds, i got late march 2007. from the looks of it, its not holding charges too long. i mean, the battery went red on me, i haven't played it in a while, but i don't recall playing it for longer than maby an hour, but since i haven't played it in a while i may have had it on longer than i would have assumed. BUT, having just charged the fucking thing to full, and plugging the thing back in "taking plug out, and re plugging it in) and the "charge" light stays on for like 10 minutes, this seems to me like its losing good chunks of battery right after the charge completes. if i find out that when i use the thing tomorrow, and it goes red after 20-30 minutes or something, UNACCEPTABLE. i don't use my ds a lot, it hasn't got too much use, and ive only had it for a year. if i find out tomorrow that the battery is basically dead, im going to pissed off.
i really would like not to spend $15.00 on a new battery for a thing that i just fucking got.
CURRENT GENERATION HARDWARE SUCKS

Leaving devices plugged in until you're ready to use it seems like a pretty sound idea as well (my mom's laptop is proof of that).
For more information on how to care for li-ion batteries, check the Wikipedia article for them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_Ion_Battery#Guidelines_for_prolonging_Li-ion_battery_life) -- it's amazingly informative.
That's why I only play it online nowadays (speaking of which, anyone else own the PC version?).

RACIST SPICS.
Whether the picture was made in good fun is irrelevant. It was a ridiculous idea that was bound to upset a lot of people.
Did it not occur to somebody that it might not be a good idea to mock an entire continent before the world's largest athletic competition that, by the way, happens to take place on that continent. Were they not aware of an invention called "the Internet" that allows pictures taken in Spain to be transmitted all over the world for the eyes of everyone?
so I just felt like randomly saying that Jumper was a shitty fuckstupid dumbass crapfest of a film

"My mom and dad always taught me good morals, good values, and not cussing was one of them," said McKay Hatch, the founder of South Pasadena High School's No Cussing Club, during a recent break between study hall and tennis practice.
"I've cussed before, I'm not gonna lie to you," Hatch quickly added. "But I try not to cuss any more."
Hooray, Big Brother, and growing fascism in the united states! So much for our bill of rights...

I'm rather fond of "cum dumpster."
You can blame my cousin for getting me started on that one.
Okay fuck hardcore servers. I swear 80% of the kills in these games are from grenades, and I bet most of them use that perk that gives you 3 grenades. It's like they had the grenades balanced with the indicator, then they threw that away and made them have a fucking HUGE and deadly blast radius.
i have dark cloud 2 sitting on the shelf, so when im un lazy, ill see if i can muster the motivation to actually beat it this time. i mean, its a fun game, its just long, and the same thing over and over.
all i want, is some dumb fun running around killing dungeons and collecting crap. that's all, i don't give a hell about the already terrible plot.
Unless you mean that they won't let him connect it to the 'net, in which case that royally sucks.
I haven't played DC2, but that was my main gripe about the first one. Well, that, and the fact that the main character is the thirstiest motherfucker in the known universe.
It is amazing. I would never call it dumb fun though. There are tricks to getting up through things used in getting secrets and challenges that would leave most anyone staring in disbelief at how pixel-perfect you have to be.
but uhh to mortified, its one of my pet peeves in games is mainly in rpg's(FINAL FANTASY GAMES ARE A MAJOR OFFENDER), but "stuff you can miss, and never get again". i mean, im sorry i don't want to use a faq for the specific purpose of not missing something i can't get later in the game. because of this, im just not going to get said item in the first place. checking a faq every 5 minutes =/= fun. i mean, i am a heavy faq user, but dark cloud 2 isn't one of those games you really need a faq for. anyway, so far, i am enjoying it (again), lets see how many dungeons i can last and keep the experience fresh.
What the gay, I'm leaving Taiwan today. =(
its the principle of the thingso I bet you were angry when you found out that you missed the hidden uber javelin and shield in Final Fantasy Tactics
it's really a silly thing to get annoyed about. So somebody looked online at a FAQ? Square's just giving them a small bonus for being that dedicated.
Still, be angry at the people who make the walkthroughs and FAQs, not the people who designed the game!
but not really needed.that's my whole point about this entire topic
bobbias: to get Magus, you follow him up a cliff and choose not to kick his ass, pretty much. I think you have to choose one of the two options for the story to continue, anyway.
vladgd: sorry i jumped all over you, dog :( <3 friends?
its k, we b thuggin busta.tite, g :)
Rowan: Yeah I forgot as well so I am re-playing it as we speak...yay for ZSNES.
Obviously you have the original official cartridge.my sister does
Obviously you have the original official cartridge.
I wish I hadn't sold my Megaman X cart :/
Also, if I was buying Chronotrigger, I would want one that's been unplayed/had all saves deleted.
And, uh, 60? Hella overpriced. Bought a copy for $45 at the flea market a year ago... haven't ever seen it priced higher than that.
Yeah, but most of those are people overpricing somewhat. Granted, some collectible/rare games go for a fucking TON.
I really hope that the tropical storm/hurricane hits here. I'm unbelievably excited for it to come :D
You would be suprised.
I looked at good used copies of FF7 (online of course) some were going for $60-$100. A never opened one was $400!
Other games I looked at (Tomba 1 and 2 for this example) and the lowest I saw was/is selling for $65.
Same, apparently a friend has an open house for a while, so this should provide a decent amount of fun. Also I really need sleep.
Yeah, that sounds awesome. You're luckier- you're a lot closer to the point of landfall than I am ;_;
Vista's backward compatibility is incredible...I'm running FF7 for the PC on my computer flawlessly (this game was made for WINDOWS 95).
Pssh, don't try to tell that to Vista haters! There's no way they'll believe you.
Really, Vista running FF7 is particularly impressive because FF7 is quite possibly most sloppily coded piece of ported garbage in existence. Do be sure to download and apply the Chocobo patch (http://www.qhimm.com/#ff7), because otherwise the game will always crash on the Chocobo races.
Also, if you're running the 32-bit edition, download and play Executive Suite (http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=384). It's a fun game, runs fine on Vista, and is older than almost everyone here. The 64-bit version of Vista lacks any sort of 16-bit support, so it won't run on that unfortunately.
Also yes, I pretty much agree with the Crysis review, other then the difficulty curb.
I must say, probably one of the better vehicle uses in a game, even compared to halo.
Thanks for the info. I just downloaded the patch and I'll give that game a shot :).
Windows NT came out in 1993
My favorite thing to do with the vehicles in Crysis is take control of the mounted machineguns and cut down trees. 8)
Hah, I did that my first time and the tree fell onto the hood of my car and it blew up. I was very confused, considering I was driving an armored hummer and the tree was a thin baby palm tree.You should make an EPIC FAIL picture with that :D
I don't know how the hell this is possible but my computer speakers ar picking up a radio station and it is playing music :x
A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers that approximates the properties of random numbers. The sequence is not truly random in that it is completely determined by a relatively small set of initial values, called the PRNG's state. Although sequences that are closer to truly random can be generated using hardware random number generators, pseudo-random numbers are important in practice for simulations (e.g., of physical systems with the Monte Carlo method), and are central in the practice of cryptography.
Plus, only the time after the platforms have come on screen matters anyway, for this situation. Scaling that time zone that matters down to the 2 seconds or so that it takes from the time you begin to see the platforms to the time you jump off (assuming you simply run through the screen, may take longer for those who don't know the level well) makes it rather simple to be very close to exactly replicating your moves. Plus, you don't need to jump at the exact same time every time, you simply need to be close enough to land properly.
fuckkkkkkkk who caressssssssss. :/
Beh, only 3? A friend of mine had a total of 8 rockstars and 2 red bulls within something like 3 or 4 hours.
i wasn't trying to kill myself, or impress you.
I remember one time I had like four Red Bulls in two hours.Hahah, nice. I had two Monsters while trying to stay up 24 hours, and ended up falling asleep 4 hours before I was done, almost an hour after I finished the second one.
I fell asleep an hour later. haha
Jupi, is your sig from the 7th guest/11th hour?
Screen from the 7th guest. They look the same!
I've played that, also I just woke up...
So I just got back from Calc III, which seems like it's basically Calc I with the z-axis added in.
I actually don't mind that I started on the 18th. :3I DO
lol Americans, and your early school starting times. I have a whole 10 more days of freedom.
