  1. There is a known school policy against wearing bandannas. There are also many schools with uniforms or limited color choices. This debacle will likely lead to more schools moving in that direction. For example, both red and blue are not allowed on my wife's High School campus. They have a heavy gang issue, but the letter of the law means students can't wear US flag regalia.
  2. Welcome to the wonderful world of Volologic, Oblarg. :D
  3. If this was their intent, then there is still the problem with the forum they have chosen for their political stand. Schools have to be very cautious when it comes to political messages. That's why I keep saying the administrator handled this terribly. Instead of opening a dialogue with the students about their intent and how it might be perceived by others, he tried to shame them. There are really three sides to this argument: - The 5 students side - The administrators side - The both sides are wrong side
  4. I just threw up a little.
  5. I wonder whats the percentage of registered hispanic voters. Less than 5%? 1%? It would have been hysterical if this was happening in Arizona and those 200 protesting kids were raided for illegal immigration.
  6. I prefer games that take less time. If a game is over 40 hours, the odds are very slim that I will ever finish it. 20 hours is just about perfect for my money.

    Given that I see Pittsburgh as the most dangerous team in the East, I am definitely rooting for Montreal
  8. I believe I used the word punk, and yes the 200 kids who marched are also being punks. Do you really believe these 5 students just innocently showed up with US flag bandanna's and matching T-shirts? They just happened to all coordinate their wardrobes on this day? You have a series of bad decisions being made here. It started when these 5 boys decided to synchronize their clothing on a day of a Mexican Heritage Celebration. All parties should be held accountable.
  9. Llyr sure does sound professional in those videos. They should probably pay you for this stuff.
  10. Although there has been a few signs that customers buy more new games because they can trade in older titles to help pay for it, which is actually good for the publisher.
  11. I started an actual storyline per Wals' request this week. It's Zombie Appreciation Week! Here in the states we use M&M's in our trail mix. Chocolate chips sound a little crazy there. http://www.waltersland.net
  12. So we are comparing a small pin to a bandana and a T-shirt here? No, he's comparing one flag to another. I know that a lot of guys try to convince themselves otherwise, but size really does matter.
  13. So we are comparing a small pin to a bandana and a T-shirt here?
  14. So it was Bill Gates holding the camera? Who knows? 61 terrible video game T-shirts. There are a few good ones IMO. Iron Man IV: Russian Revenge I want a few of those, particularly the Oregon Trail Living down by the river one.
  15. Did you want to share the link? Or at least the name of the reviewer?
  16. Yes, because, of course, everyone who dislikes DRM must be a pirate or have been brainwashed by one. You're confusing me with Hurlshot I think. I do think the AP DRM is pretty relaxed and isn't worth getting upset about. Do you even need the CD in the drive to play? I'm also in the anti-Ubisoft camp, as internet connections for single player are lame-o.
  17. Man, those crows must have really ticked him off.
  18. I'm playing it, everything is basically a bit more refined. It was worth the upgrade for me.
  19. I bought a tablet today (Bamboo Pen) and I've started playing around with it. It came with Corel Painter Essentials, which seems like a fairly decent product. So far it is pretty sweet, but I have a lot to learn about it. My first goal is to create a decent looking banner for the top of my site, then maybe make a couple ad banners. I have some students doing them too, but they are taking a bit too long. As Tig mentioned, the student enthusiasm will likely wane eventually, so I am trying to get ahead of the potential loss of my artist by doing a little art myself. Oh yeah, I'm in the top 200 for Top Web Comics, so feel free to vote for me
  20. It doesn't matter if they were green and tentacled, they were intentionally baiting another group. I see. Let's compare those 5 boys wearing patriotic T-shirts with the 200 hispanic students that skipped classes the following day and marched to the school administrative offices carrying their Mexican flags and chanting "si se puede" and "we want respect". Would you consider that "baiting" another group? Because I sure as hell would. Yes, the protesters are being stupid as well. I've already said it is stupid for anyone to get upset over the 5 boys regalia. Look, I'm tired of repeating myself at this point. There is a tremendous lack of knowledge about how High Schools operate, how the social structures work within schools, and what actually goes through the minds of hormonal teenagers. I'm not just talking about here, as there are plenty of media outlets that are ignorant as well. So go ahead and jump on the Patriot bandwagon and ignore the actual intent of the boys.
  21. It seems like a lot of work for a bit of satire, but good on you sugarbooger.
  22. I am glad to see Wall-E on the list as well. I honestly never would have thought of it, but after seeing it on the list, it definitely fits.
  23. I'm taking the RV out tomorrow for a 1 day trip to the beach, where we will have a family BBQ.
  24. That makes me a bit nervous.
