  1. You sold it for $2,200?! Good job Setzer!

    Yeah, he does look distressed, or very uncomfortable, like he just took a dump in his pants.
  3. I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but if you wonder about your computer meeting the game's requirements, I suggest: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com
  4. I want to know what the heck you guys are talking about, but at the same time, I don't.
  5. So, as some of you may have noticed, filling the beloved Lost's timeslot is this new show called Day Break. IMDB summarizes the plot well: "Today Detective Brett Hopper will be accused of shooting state attorney Alberto Garza. He will offer his rock solid alibi. He will realize he's been framed. And he will run. Then he will wake up and start the day over again." Anyway, did anyone here watch it? Like it or no? I've always liked the reliving-a-day idea, like with Groundhog Day. But this is a slightly different approach, since it is a violent day to relive, and the injuries he gets cross over to the next day... er, same day, but in the morning again. So he isn't invulnerable like Bill Murray. Diggs does a pretty good job I think, and the cinematography is pretty too. Last time, Lost did reruns and had a new episode every month or so. This time they are taking a break and then going to return next year with straight weeks of new stuff. I like this new show, so I don't mind the wait.

    Or is it something slashing through a metal tray/pan? The evil-Hiro idea is possible, but toward the end of the last episode, one sees Hiro in a picture with the red-head he wanted to save. It looks like it is her birthday. Before, she was alone in that picture. So I am assuming he went back in time to get to know her and save her, and he just never returned to his buddy. After that, and the fact that Hiro seemed like an honourable fellow up to now, I doubt he is the bad guy. Could be a good plot twist though. Like, he becomes evil even though expects the name-pun: a hero named Hiro.

    Or, more probably, considering that Hiro is a hero, Sylar is opening skulls. If you notice, Hiro says something like, "Her skull was opened the same way the painter's was." And we all saw the painter's skull: not opened with a sword.
  8. Oh, I've been meaning to inquire as to your health, gramps.
  9. I see what you are saying Hurlshot. I was just sad because I want free stuff. What do you think about the advertisement idea though? Something rather unobtrusive, like in the load screen. I see it all the time on websites, so I wonder how much it would pay. I'm sure companies would spend tons to get their product on load screens for WoW or some other grossly popular game.
  10. Pwnz0red within the first 4 posts by our very own DonJags! Now with retractable wings. Batteries not included.
  11. Exactly. That's why I'd be mad if I was a paying user of Planetside. I wouldn't want to see crappy retail store ads that take me out of the futuristic environment I'm paying to play in. It adds to my point. How can servicing three servers take up all the revenue of subscription fees from the users, the money from people purchasing the game, as well as the money from the advertisements here and there? Edit: Again, when I say all the revenue, I don't mean completely all, but after the surely substantial profit.
  12. Oh, firstly, new smiley's, that's great. Anyway, there are many popular games out there that charge you a fee for playing them online. Monthly, yearly, or whatever, it annoys the heck out of me. I just want to buy the game once, not five hundred times over. The counterargument I hear is this: to play on good servers and get new features and junk, it costs a lot of money, and 20 bucks a month is little for that service. But seriously, unless you are the maintenance or feature guy that does that junk, you have no idea what it costs. I am guessing that these subscription game developers are grossing in far more than they give out to their gamers. Of course, one should be making a profit, but I doubt they need to make that much of a profit. But hey, they are making the money, and only one guy is complaining, so I don't blame them for their decision. I just want some benevolence so I can play popular games with millions of people online. I'll buy the game for fifty dollars. I do that for any game I really want. I just want them to nix the fee. Here's a solution too. It might be ugly, but so is the fee. I hate advertisements. However, I put up with them for TV. At least I don't have to pay for the TV show producers to make the programs and put them on my TV. The ads do that for me. In fact, I played a trial version of the MMOFPS Planetside and saw Target commercials on billboards. It was hilariously out of place, and I thought, "If I were a paying customer, I would be so mad that I would have to see that." My point is that pitching the advertisement idea to businesses would be easy. You tell how many people see the ad and how many times and I'm sure they'd pay some money to get that billboard spot. Maybe during the loading screen or whatever. Have a little window that says, "You don't have to pay those stupid subscription fees because of these guys: <UR AD HEAR!!11>" Maybe it does cost Planetside developers millions of dollars to host three servers and barely maintain them (the maintenance is pretty poor from what I hear), but I doubt that is true. I don't expect any changes from what I say now, but I still must say, c'mon you greedy subscription game developers, be nice to me. What do you think?
  13. I don't know if ipod's suck or not, but if any of you were having trouble, here is a step-by-step guide to putting dvds on your ipod. It may or may not work, and as the site says, it is illegal to use one of the programs needed in certain states. I am also not sure if one cannot use the same process for things like what Oerwinde was talking about.
  14. How about... requiring the parent/guardian to sign a legal waiver regarding these things in order to have their kid attend the school, so that the school can allow soft-contact games during recess?
  15. I would say something to tell of my elation, like, "Hurray!" but it would seem insincere. Although, this sounds insincere too. Dang my incorrigible sarcasm.
  16. The Offspring- Self-Esteem A classic I must say.
  17. Frank and sarcastic? The game has been in good hands.
  18. Jack is going to be broken 1984 style. They aren't going to torture him conventionally, and they won't make him simply be one of them, they'll make it so he'll choose to become one of them, and then he will torture Kate and Sawyer.
  19. Youtube was competition for Google Video. It makes sense that they'd buy them out.
  20. Also, I looked at the "Effective C++" book and it looked like it would be too complicated for a beginner. Though, if I became good, it would surely be a good reference, but for now it isn't what I'm looking for.
  21. Watch this: Super cool video of guys who painted their skateboards bright green and then digitally removed them.
