  1. Re:stating the obvious... on On The Feminine Form In Gaming · · Score: 1
    Recently created some skiers for SSX on Tour (I know... it's a console game, but somewhat relevant to the discussion). I have made 2 characters and they're both Female. I suppose it's better to stare at a nice digital rack and plump, juicy ass than some digital dude's...

    Never played MMORPG, so I guess I shouldn't be posting here...

    And here all along I've thought that women were so much more organized and cooperative together than men will ever be

    You've been wrong, wrong, wrong. That's the secret they don't want to talk about, see? They're smarter than us, they live longer than us, they control the booty... Why aren't they firmly in control by now???

    The answer is because they HATE each other! 2 can get along, but put 3 together and 1 will hate 1 of the other 2. Guaranteed... Then it's ON!

    It didn't take long for my Corporate Golden Boy attitude to switch up... Was employed from mid-1998 until mid-2001 and waved the Corporate flag. Then they screwed me (HARD) over trivial office politics and a couple of hundred dollars, and I began to see things from a different point-of-view.

    Now it's all about covering yourself first, then thinking "Is this good for the company???" Things were so easy back when they Company was looking out for me and I had their back. Too bad it was all a lie! Cover your 6:00 and do what you say you will do. Then you won't feel bad when things fall apart and you're out seeking a new gig.

  5. Re:It's what you deal with for fixed frame renderi on First Xbox 360 Reviews Hitting the Web · · Score: 1
    SSX on Tour uses the "Blur" to indicate that you're going "really, really fast". It's nice, since it gives you a visual indication that you're going too fast for sharp turns. And it makes you feel like you're REALLY hauling @$$ down the mountain.

    Come to think of it, they also kinda zoom in on your character so that he/she is bigger on your screen while the surroundings are blurring by... I like it, but perhaps it only works for snowboarding games...

    Kit Fisto was an awesome character, and I grew to like him based on the few short appearances (and his cartoon appearance, which gives MUCH more info than the movies). I understand that he was a fairly powerful Jedi, so I was disappointed to see him dispatched so easily (even if it was to show exactly how powerful Palpatine had become).

    Just seemed like a waste to me... Same with Mace, but that's another story altogether...

    In a pinch, you just boot to safe mode. That's not even necessary, though, since Winddows will work after several "Found New Hardware" dialog boxes. Not good enough to play Half Life 2, but good enough to salvage your personal info.

    I was trying to explain to my Grandmother over the phone what my wife was doing on her PC, and I said "it's like a virtual doll house". Wifey got ALL bent out of shape over it. She tried to draw a comparison by saying I would be insulted if she referred to Half Life 2 as "like a virtual game of war". Then she got mad at me for not being offended by HER analogy...

    The point is: don't call it Virtual Dolls in front of an addicted woman. She'll get pi$$ed.

    I go to CompUSA every few weeks when their DVD-Rs are on sale. I never get bothered.

    My step-mom yelled at me for giving them a machine that "didn't work". Of course, I gave it to my DAD, for FREE, and it worked fine for almost a full year before it needed a new piece of hardware (it was built entirely from 2nd-hand parts).

    She said "the mouse works, the keyboard works, and so does the printer AND the screen. We just need a new middle-thing."

    I knew what she was getting at, yet I played dumb: "Middle Thing???"

    She says "You know... the BOX (mimes square with drunken fingers). We just need a new box."

    At that point, I told her Dell sold boxed on the cheap, and they have 24 hour tech support... She'd never have to fool with me or my non-working parts again.

    Long story short, she bought a Dell to spite me, and I got all my old parts back (had to replace a HD, but everything else was fine).

    You CAN do tech support for your friends and family, as long as they know what it's worth first... The ignorant get a toll-free 800# to speak with Mr. Dell.
