My mind wrapped around Qbert with Nintendo, I loved Pacman, and Donky Kong. I played Sonic on the Sega, and afew others. On PS1 I had the tekken, need for speed, tony hawk, all those. On PC I fell hard for Unreal, its just good to shoot stuff sometimes, right? Now Im still stuck on Counter Strike Condition Zero & Call of Duty 2. On the PS2 we already beat Champions Return to Arms (nice on a 60" tv), the tekkens and afew others. It doesnt matter the year, if you can find the games you dig the most, its all good.:)
Then how come no smart student has gotten the balls yet? Is Kent State education system as bad as their thoughts on stealing up their students rights?:)
Thats like the easiest thing to say here. Seems like people are lying all around. I cant really say that I am surprised, its been sometime since I have read about some perv online taking advantage of someone, but this case is all fubar. Honestly, WOW! Where was the mother? Right now, I am with child, my second, so come Oct. I will have one 4 year old son, and one newborn little girl. Where was this girls mother, or father for that matter? In this household, the parents are both geeks, maybe that will help to make sure our children will not have something like this happen to them. We will monitor their every move online *muhaha* Seriously though, Myspace isnt at fault, thats just like saying O Snap! I logged onto YIM and some perv messaged me, and now hes stalking me b/c I was stupid enough to give him my phone/address/etc. I have yet to see the word NAIVE come into play. Doesn't anyone here remember being 14, you might have been mature, but not about everything. I guess I will be the first to admit such a fault. When I was 14, I had a curfew, what about this girl....maybe she met him during daylight hours, but seriously, you cant be that NAIVE to not tell when someone is *tons* older than you. Im really upset when I see shit like this go down, where are the parents, Im not that old as it is, so I cant say my time was 'back in the day', but DAMN, back in my day, parents were abit more responsible for their children. We had curfews, and we had that thing that says 'You tell me where you are going AT ALL TIMES', maybe this girls mother was a crackhead, that might explain abit, but 30mil isnt worth your own stupidity for doing something that dumb, your parents neglect since they *seem* to know nothing about whats going on in your life until something like this happens, and it sure isnt worth the news its getting. It bothers me even more than yet again, Americans are labeled as sue-aholics, this is the kinda shit that gets that fire going. I really seem to think this mother assumed the computer was a babysitter for her teen, and look how it turned out. Can you sue people for being stupid? I think we have an award for this mother...
Some aren't, some are, this one is * not by bouncing anything.:) I am the project manager of a hosting/design & registrar company. I think a good many shy away from it due to the whole 'mans world' deal, I never laid down my initiative to work in a feild that I love that easy. Tis fun sometimes, I can actually give a womens prospective on things that some just wouldnt seem to think about, and they also love that things stay organized. *grin*
Its like GD thinks it's the parent (weather spammer is legit or a persons email being spoofed) and GD goes: THATS A TIME OUT MISTER GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY.
They sorta have.
www.wildwestdomains.com is (if you look up thru phone numbers/reserver addys/etc) taken in with "Go Daddy Software' for a Scottsdale AZ address. Kinda confusing, but they just loop back and forth. If you call GD support (I did for a friend with a question about a cart service once) the rep on the other end will ask what page you are looking at/calling for, and all are outsourced.
Maybe GD is so upset with itself, it doesnt want anything to do with itself.
Weird, still scary.
Anyone that can use google knows that GD is pure evil and the devil in disguise.
Even a poor artist should know what free advertising is.:) Seriously, how many times have you seen a font and then googled who did it to learn more? lol Now if they will just do a rendition of Ansel Adams, then I would really be impressed.
If they start to install batteries, Im sure (even myself being a parent of a small child) would end up destorying my TV rather than my child watch something like that. The 2 reasons we (this household) use Dish Networks is to; A avoid commericals at all cost, B record things we miss when we work too much. I think this is more insane than just about anything I have read on/. lately.
Airports seem to always tell you something other than the truth to avoid panic of public. When they broke the hydraulics on a brand new plane in 00.:) Fun times always.
In all cases I have seen, its *bad F word here* and usally relates to trying to do some research before asking questions to piss old school users off.:D
I do not know anyone (irl) that is same age/etc as myself that games. Im in the bracet, I have one son (4) and one on the way. At this house there is a PS2 (waiting on PS3), Dreamcast (not used so much now) Xbox, and somehow in the bit of time, I managed to lose my gameboy. PC gaming is COD2 and CSCZ now. Its fun, people need to laugh more, or they will just get mean. Girls get more stressed than boys, and gaming keeps me from yelling alot. lol
I think it should say 'Many musicians use myspace', not all, not afew, but many....and Im not talking about random Joe who no one knows. Trying to google 'Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Myspace' or 'Tommy Lee, Myspace'....I think this thread turned silly real quick....*goes back to watching the freaky people argue*
First Q: A little of both, I was reading back afew issues and posts I did, one was on female gamers (the main article I didnt enjoy, but some comments were nice), afew/.'rs spoke of how females are always busy, and dont game as much. I dont know how true that is, I can only speak for myself. I have a son that lives with his father, I am currently expecting come this fall, our household now has 2 four month old kittens, 2 adult cats, and 1 dog. Along with starting a business with 3 other people (goes live tax day lol), I am abit busy, but I think if we dont find abit of time for gaming, or something that relaxes us, we will all grow old and mean. I dont want to do that. I have been offered in clans afew times, but decline since I am abit busy and I knew I would not be able to dedicate that much time for gaming. I try and game abit everynight, however in the past few years its slipped, and Im not doing as well as before. I think part of it, is the seniors (who are still old school and want men only clubs) who complain when a female enters the game, therefore no invite is give, and if 'she' makes it that far, she might end up giving up - taking all the bs that comes along with gaming. As I said, I have only been gaming w/CSCZ for afew months now, and the servers I end up on, when I see another female in there, the youngest was about 17, the youngest male - hehe, his voice squeaked.:)
OM! Are you suggesting/. repliers are *ahem* post-aholics?:D Right now I play alot of CSCZ with my fiance, and usally on a friends server (I have issues finding servers I like, and Im quite picky w/lag times, drives me insane). I think there are about 10-12 servers besides the friends I game on, I would say maybe on friends server about 5 differant females I have seen, I think 2 might be in the clam, from the other servers, again a handful of females, but in the past few months I think I have only seen about 3 that are clam members. And most of the servers I end up playing on, pending the time of course (gotta remember bedtimes lol) are young people, however most of the females I end up running into, like self, are 20+ in age groups. Most guys however, daylight hous are 13+ and after about 10pm are 20+. Kinda odd, and the last thing I want to hear when gaming is a damn squeky kid just getting his 'man voice' with the normal rants and bs talk, so thats why Im abit picky with the servers I choose. Sometimes you find a really good one, and it just takes one jerky to make you turn your speakers off and still game.:D
lol That was mostly a question without needing an answer, just sarcasm this morning is all. And yes, but I dont go around and be all 'O Im a girl and I game', I try not to, and usally when in game, I dont speak with people for anything, unless its the random 'gg', 'ns', etc.
Thats just like our house! Our closets are used for storage parts. My fiance used to run two computers store, so many extra parts came from him. I have my main computer in my home upstairs office, he has his PC and a server in his own, we have two laptops, and I had a nix box up there, but it is now recycled to the work office for a new work machine. They all work fine, and random spare parts being around are tons better than buying new ones.:)

No need for rudeness. :) Even jocks can know smart people, how do you think they managed to get into college in the first place. *eg*
Then how come no smart student has gotten the balls yet? Is Kent State education system as bad as their thoughts on stealing up their students rights? :)
Which is why most end up trying to find a female mate in the same level of their geekness.
These are the people I point & laugh at. Kidding aside, I dont laugh, I just point.
"Of course, this is irc" Thats the point, its IRC, shit man its not like your damn datacenter went down, its IRC. Get over it. :X
But it started, when the parents let her use the computer.

If I had any mod points left...:)
