Aside from one incident where I almost rammed someone's car after playing too much destruction derby, I am a wicked driver.
I've physically dodged some wild accidents, and once I powerslided to dodge an accident... Since my car is shorter perpendicular to the road as opposed to straight on it, I avoided an accident by a few inches... People who don't use their turn signal are asking for it.
Mainly I avoid accidents by putting a ton of car lengths ahead of me... Sure aggressive drivers can juke in, but those fuckers are just as likely to juke out too. All that dodging is not a sign of a good driver, just a retard.
I seriously dedicated my life towards video games at an early age... Stuff like the last starfighter, and robotech... talking about video game simulation players owning it up.
At 6 yrs old, like 1983, I swore I'd work the best I could towards playing video games. Theres been ups and downs, but I'm one of the best video game players around now. I've gotten more skills from playing video games than much of anything else. Most of the skills are strategy, as even action games dictate a strategy.
I'm having fun now making my own game having experienced all that came before. I would be unable to compete, but I'm using CrystalSpace, an open source 3d engine.
I was just way impressed with the extra long fight scenes... I enjoy long fights.
We wouldn't have went out to see it and have a nice night out if I didn't argue it would be good to see. I wouldn't have argued it was good if I didn't download it.
I always make it a point to try and make sure the artist gets my coin if the artist deserves it. Theres so much crap out there, I feel if more people do as I do, then more talented and original artists will be weeded from corporate respawn.
As soon as possible every man woman and child should have access to 10 meg per second. At this rate, you got what, streaming TV video, and real time video game playing.
This is the future, do not deny... Work on giving us more, we want more, we need more. Don't tell us to conserve, because we KNOW we need more. I can't make a fast paced video game on a 56k modem, cable modem is even really slow, we need FASTER speeds, and around 10 meg a second or more, then maybe we'll be satisfied.
Cable modem speeds might have been acceptable early 90s, its freaking sad how long it took to even get that out there. Its sad how sucky our corporations are in actually delivering product. What the fucks their problem?
I wrote Gnutella in tandem with making Diablo 1 unhackable.
What it did was store everyones information on their computer. Everyone could play a MMORPG without a central server... With many anti cheat trip wires, finalizing on player community voting....
I found out it was more powerful than a Napster substitute... Thats why I was going to make it, until I realized someone else did.
That doesn't make me worthy of getting a job though:) So I'm an unemployed bum.
I'm sayin,"Music industry has too much money." "Music industry has so much money they blame someone else so no one's pointing at them."

Ever see those bill boards everywhere? Car insurance fraud will get you jail time!
Of course, you NEED to buy car insurance. Over time, car insurance costs more than your car. If you have an accident, car insurance doesn't pay.... Instead they jack up your rates and make you pay them more. I've seen them even do worse atrocities(especially with HMOs)
Yet you see billboards,"Don't commit insurance fraud!"
Why is that? Its because they got too much money, and they can spend it on billboards and outrageous things.
Anti-theft devices don't really help you in this situation eh? What a piece of shit... When people could spend time trying to cure diseases, they would rather spend time making a faggier ride than a bananna seat bicycle. Electronic fag bashing!
"When people say "Fuck Napster" they are saying that the people in our society who are creating should have a right to determine how their creations are used"
So when Dr. Dre lost this lawsuit, he lost to his own rules of control. Since someone else could lay claim that he controlled the music.
All culture is just rehashes of another culture. In fact most music is cliche and overdone, especially country.
Anyway Napster means alot more than "losing control of your music." Napster is the freedom to distribute information that was difficult before. I want to see more corporations "lose control", so I say,"Go napster, go!" Its not the start of a revolution, its just part of it.
But if he wore a shirt that says "Fuck Napster", then he deserves his ass leeched for money.
Napster is a sign of free trading, free books for libraries, and generally culture available to the masses who are too poor to afford it.
When you say "Fuck Napster", you also say,"I love this corrupt system we live in." So when you get burnt by your own rules, the rules that keep a man down, then you get what you deserve.
If you listen to alot of rap beats, they're ALL stolen off someone else's shit. Dr. Dre was always good at making new beats. Its freaking gay he has to caugh up money to some punk ass lawyer.
If the guy was for real that sued, he'd have contacted Dre and asked if he could lay down some new beats. I'm sure if had an ounce of class and explained it right, Dre woulda helped him up. Death Row is always looking for fresh new artists.
What this is just the system bein the same ol bitch it always is. I know I'm poor and never had a chance(even with a CMU degree), but I'm not a player hater. The more crap I hear like this, the more I'm going to go Fight Club on corporate bastards.
Then when I have to pay $10,000 a year in emails, but I'm only sending out newsgroup emailings, party invitations, and PSA forwarding... And I have 0$ because no one wants to give a CMU grad an interview. Then I can say,"Hey brother, can you spare a dime."
Hello, my name is CrazyJim, and I'm a video game addict. I play because I am addicted. I don't want to escape from reality. I just remember how fun the games used to be... And they don't seem as fun anymore... But I need to keep playing because I see most everything else as boring. The more I do look at everything else, the more I realize that maybe everything else is only boring because it needs fixed. Thats when I look back at myself and think if I'm still playing because I'm addicted or have I crossed the line to escapist.
Maybe I don't know the answers to everything, but if I see a spade, I know it. Does this make me a good game developer? I find my tolerance for details to make my lose my desire to code an entire system. I'd rather just change some rules someone already made, than write the rules myself. But without open source, thats tough.
Theres a struggle going on around you, and sure you can look back through history and understand it clearly... But can you understand what's going on now as factories automate, and the corporations have their workers fight each other for jobs? Conventional economics just had workers and slaves. Future economics just has robots. The transition is rough...
Not to mention theres really hasn't been no watermark for a civilized society living in peace. The only societies that have thrived are ones that feel they're better standing than another. Rich man or poor man has little to do with Smart man or dumb man.
I guess what I'm saying is that game development is alot like creating laws for a society. Games are just fantasy, while many of us spend alot of our lives in them... Which sorta makes them reality, but they're not. If we're gonna escape to video games, we should really stand up and change things. Video game players are supposed to be like smarter in many ways from the amount of work, dedication, simulation, modeling, and math. Its what the culture pre-video game told us we'd aspire to. The more you play, the more you'll learn... And I'm pretty sure it was correct. So my dillema is that if things need to be changed in real life, and I'm playing video games to escape... Then I'm showing weakness instead of stepping up to change things. Of course the methods to change things is quite difficult...
When you had to rail a car RIGHT on to get it to do a 360.
The announcer yells,"Threeeeee SIXTEEEEEE!"
Its awesome... So I'm driving home after 6 hours, and see someone pulling out of his driveway.
Now since the timing in the game is like under a second which way you need to aim, you don't really have much time to think about your actions.
I almost deliberately turned into the back of this person coming out of their driveway because I was in an almost hypnotic state, thinking of the game.
So to get people suggestive: #1: Use lots of loud and cool noises in your game to reward people for doing cool things.
#2: Have the cool thing be something very similar and realistic to real life.
#3: Leave the window for the action to be under a second, so conscious thought can not control a reflex action.
Then guaranteed at least 1 or 2 people out there would do the shit in real life.
Theres several categories of intellectual property.
If someone owns the rights to a song, are you allowed to:
Re-Record it Sing it Say the title in public Play it in public Parody it ?
What if someone designs a part to allow flying cars steer? We don't have flying cars yet... But when we do, should we bow down to the inventor of the steering wheel even though anyone could create one. Oh lord almighty who walks on the earth, we must bow to thee because you wrote some dumb fucking thing on a piece of paper and sent it to the patent office.
With all the confusion with current patents, and only big corporations having enough to buy expensive lawyers... Maybe a working system should be thought up before applying it to the world.
Heres how the system currently works. Thousands of little buisnesses try. 90% of them fail. 9% eek out a living. 1% hit it big. A corporation sees the guy who hits it big with a good idea, and steals it for their own.
Thats what I'm doing, MAD sleeping. I sometimes sleep 48 hours straight. At least I'm sorta happier sleeping than I was puting in all that work at college. Not to mention I didn't get much sleep when I went.

I think hundreds or thousands of coders thought of this shit, especially when Napster got shutdown.
I personally came across it when removing a section of my P2P anti hacking designed for Diablo 1 to be secure even without a central server.
Interestingly enough, I was going to call my Gnutella: Dumpster
Which is cool they're naming their software: Waste
Lets see how it turns out
I learned two things from video games:
Strategy and reflexes, both help my driving.
Aside from one incident where I almost rammed someone's car after playing too much destruction derby, I am a wicked driver.
I've physically dodged some wild accidents, and once I powerslided to dodge an accident... Since my car is shorter perpendicular to the road as opposed to straight on it, I avoided an accident by a few inches... People who don't use their turn signal are asking for it.

Job hunting sites
and

I can think of a million ways to use the internet to cause more havoc than just stuffing someone's mailbox with porn.
Probably the coolest thing you can do with the internet is to cause a revolution. And if you don't see it, you're the one who's losing.

What if someone wanted to make a billion dollars?
The idea isn't too far fetched so far, people like to be rich, right?
What if you engineered a virus? Its non-trivial to do, but with the right equipment, you can do it for practically free.
What if you engineered a cure for the virus?
What if you patented it?
Now in order to make money, all you need to do is spread the virus around.
Hooray! Money is the #1 factor in who wins wars.
