Holy shit!
I jsut checked that out, but I believe her speed record was in Metroid Prime(Gamecube)so the era's differ slightly,
but that is 1 HELL OF A RUN:D
In Super Metroid the best 100% is 55m(I am off by an hour...curses...CURSES!!!)
I'm sorry, I just don't buy it.
If anything, they are just people that walk this earth abused for what they wore or how they think or activities they find solace in, for all intents and purposes, unique in their own right, and summarily persecuted for it in the "real world". Their not addicted to the damn game, their addicted to being accepted; or in some strange, awkard cases of not being accepted, for their base personality traits. The simple concept of chat rooms is proof of this, and thats where the higher order people interaction is occuring in this game. In summary, WoW is the prettiest chat room ever created. If you put a bunch of socially challenged people in a dark room for a few days that enjoyed each others company you could essentially create the same thing.
This is true, but on that same note can't Super Mario Bros or Tetris subscribe to the idea of Sci-Fi. If mushrooms that make you grow, or falling blocks that can be rotated that drop at fixed speed(s) with no physical attachment isn't Sci-Fi then I don't know what is. One of the essential factors of a fantasy setting is the idea of non-conforming elements of the physical world as we know it.
Although, yeah, chicks not digging sci-fi is sci-*non*fi;D
For starters, my record on Super Metroid is 1hr:53m.
Contrary to popular opinion, beating the game in this amount of time, to me anyway, was not based on the promise of seeing some space lingerie in all of its 16bit glory, nor the bounty of a "naked" Samus; but the fact that the maps were designed in a way for the player to create a line that allowed you to kill all enemies, open all doors, and dig out the hidden stuff in 1 fluid motion. That being said, I feel that Samus represents a unisex appeal that has yet to be re-created with any other female game avatar in the past 10 years. People didn't stop playing when they found out "OMFG SAMUS IS A CHICK!!!I MUST BE GAY!!!", nor was there any discussion of bust sizes or unique events that allowed you to see "aspects of her femininity". She was a hero, plain and simple. These days you can't even define a female protagonist in a game without complimenting their physique in some way shape or form./ Bizarre thing was, not many girls got into Metroid; imagine that, a female protagonist in a game that wasn't exploitive of women whatsoever *that* women summarily stayed away from like the moon stays away from stars.
Does anyone see the irony in that..:/ That damn Bush administration!
Does the film, "The Running Man" ring a bell?
And if so, do you remember how technology that was exactly like this, was used?
Scary to say in the least...but I am cynic by nature so...
Guys and gals wake up!
Tremendous progress has been made in the area of generating ideas *for* people instead of people generating ideas *for* themselves...
The sad truth is that there may in fact be no end to a tyrannical, totalitarian, America; this very notion of idealism is being tested as we speak. Even if the evidence is looking us square in the eye saying, "Hi, my name is Evidence.", we are effectively and actively sanctioning a legal system that in all truthfulness, is unequipped to prosecute or even bring forward motions to prosecute certain crimes at the level they are being committed the most recent example being Ken Lay of Enron... This is a process that has been tested rigorously for years and now they are starting to get some real production value out of it. Many other examples can be cited, but I don't think any to date hold water the way that the Enron scandal does...it was a masterpiece. *If* you indicted the president, in theory this country would be thrust into incalcuable woes of economic, social, political, and global upheaval in a way unknown to the history of the world. It's sad, but to preserve our way of life as the way that we know, or *knew* it we must sacrifice our liberty and objective thought and continue to feed and endorse a vicious, corrupt, hypocritical system.
Unless someone else has better idea...
Powers do exist, but we all have them and they are all invoked differently. How strongly they resonate can be based on a number of factors, but in my personal theory I believe that chemical composition plays a very important role in they way that certain interactions occur and propagate. All living things share this, and to some degree things that are classified as inorganic even share some of these same properties. However relative my theory is, I truly don't think it can be controlled in the way where it is a discipline, contrary to the common beliefs most people subscribe to. Thanks for your insight
h
think people need to lighten up. This is another case of pulling the race card when race was not involved.
This is another case of pulling the *master* card...
While Sony should have seen it coming an never released the ad;
Your right, they shouldn't have...
the reaction of various racial organizations was to over-react.
What happens in the netherlands should stay in the netherlands, all the same, I would have LOVED to have seen that ad on 125th st. and Lennox ave...
What if the ad had a black woman grabbing the face of a white woman? I bet nobody would be bothered by that right?
I believe they have one of those to, but I find that imagery just as disturbing...did they even HAVE a PSP on any of those ads?
do the math.
oh and you should cancel your master card account before the interest gets to high...
It almost seems that African americans have to enforce the standards of fair and equal treatment towards colored folk all over the world, to some odd effect(s). Although I think we should observe more before we implement action's, there is something of a social phenomenon over there.
start hating in 3,2,1...
I fully understand that there are innate differences between cultures based on geography and linguistics(hatfields and mccoys), but cultural differences do not dictate what level of understanding one culture has of another(cowboys and indians)the first connotation exemplifies tension within a single based soley on geography and linguistic expression, the second exemplifies the tension between 2 different races partially based on geography and linguistic expression; but also color, and a host of other factors as well. In regards to this ad, I find it highly insulting that the difference in colors a gizmo has, is personified and illustrated subversively through a white person and a black person, period, I don't care who is attacking who in the advert. Children are very impressionable, what idea or opinion do you think *some* child coming from an all-white/black neighborhood will garner from seeing this display? All the same, I am quite sure this advert will have little to no impact for an asian person based soley on the fact that asian people are neither white, nor black, their are asian and so for that matter they are more likely to only see color as a static description, not color as in the context of race.
I find this ad to be offensive. There are a MILLION different visual connotations that could have been used that would have garnered the same effect or shock value THAT DONT HAVE TO DO WITH NIGG@Z AND H0NKYS(sorry, white and black folk)
seriously, there is enough tension in the world as it is dealing with that particular issue, so now some, as it was described beforestarbucks moccachino-slurping, manhattan ad exec fresh out of his bi-daily 30 minute lunchtime rendezvous with his favorite hooker and coke buddy all of a sudden has the *original idea* of using a racially tense theme to sell his account. And then, quicker than a junky with $100 goes to fix you have some weird, insulting billboard depicting a white woman and a black woman at odds physically with a Sony PSP logo splattered across every major thoroughfareMy problem is with the way this thing is being sold and who is selling it. The Ad house is racist, Sony is racist, and any institution(Sony and locality) that allows this ad to be placed in public places is by all means fundamentally racist.
When 50 cent put up his little ad I found it offensive, why? Because he advocates gun violence, an issue that plagues inner city communities to sell his little movie. To me thats like saying your own race should kill itself off in the name of drugs, violence, sex, urban culture, and OMFG paying to go see his shill of a f**kin movie. Of course the white exec(s) that distributed this shite had the final say when his ad eventually got pulled down to...and what you know what really pisses me off? The ones that say, "Get over it, racism is dead!", and, "That all ended with apartheid...", . Just because the "more open-minded" have a problem with accepting racism does not in anyway, shape, or form mean that it does not exist. Are people supposed to force themselves to subscribe to the belief that "Racism is dead" so you can sleep at night?! I am truly pissed off right now, I am actually experiencing racism *as I type* and some weird asshole(s) have the unmitigated gall to sit here and say "Racism is dead" or something of that ilk...where do your kids go to school? what neighborhood do you live in? Sure must be a magical place...
Strange, but this sort of thing is what builds a bridge to help close the digital divide, In it's own way it is actually encouraging. This is the sort of outlet that *could* help people learn about things outside of an environment that fosters a violent, repressed way of life and ultimately change the street. I deeply believe that this sets a new precedent in the hood, think about it, if these kids are even making a concerted effort at putting together a website(for better or worse)by default an active learning process is taking place that makes them more aware of things outside of "bangin", rivals, cheddar(cash), chickens(girls),etc that are embraced in those circles. A banger that has the aptitude to learn and experiment; holds the promise to a better tomorrow where people don't need to be in gangs anymore and where the hood is no longer a hood, but a *neighbor*hood.

Actually your dog does that because she needs her glands(anal) popped, you could bring her to a groomer(a good one) and they will do it. Think of it like colonoscopy for dogs:D
I am positive you will go VERY far in tech, not a lot of people your age have that level of insight and that will only help provide a better service to your employer/customer/classmates/...I was just fukkin with you;D
(Customer base that is...okay, some of them anyway)
So does that mean the guy in the geeksquad commerical with Bono that goes to all those concerts, is like the Darth Maul or Count Dukku of their lot(2 their always are...so who's the geek empreror I wonder...)Hey, I operate as a residential PC tech, I am only local. For a minute I thought about trying to get up the scratch to get franchising rights for Geeksquad, but then I realized that I would no longer be a boss but a "paying"(not paid) employee. Fast forward, Geeksquad ends up getting busted using pirated software in their "Geeksquad MRI suite", auspiciously enough, my phone rings more. The only thing these guys are guilty of is warezing the wrong software to batch and run, and being genuine prix to. I love going to Bestbuy, CompUSA, or anywhere that sells computers through a major retail chain; just so I get the chance to "hold service", meaning, schooling the sales team and tech team in plain view of all their prospective customers that would have been swarming them...if I wasn't there. It's sad really, I sell their shite better than THEY do. After I'm done preaching to my newly built "congregation",yours truly "the reverend" then commences to explain to all in attendance that these blasphemers, no nothing about bringing god's children to the promised land and that if they follow me, I will show them the glory and providence that is...a working machine. Not one that you "work to fix", but one that "works for you". I digress.
Basically I get a kick out of going into major retail chains and schooling the shit out of the staff in front of perspective buyers to enlighten, and sometimes embolden the purchasing choice(s)that they make just to see the look of maddening perplexity on the faces of those shill techs that give my craft and trade a bad name.
Coming soon to a store near you!
That's some prime directive...now we tell the "svede's" how to run their shit to?!
I mean, do they want to make it so we can't travel to other country's????
If this doesn't reek of corporate interest and funding classified projects with private sector funds then I don't know what does. At the end of this rainbow lies a HUUGGGEEE pot of gold once the "mission is aborted". I mean what do they want to know, if terrorists are seasonal shoppers or impulse buyers?! Or maybe you can spot them by brand. I always see terrorists wearing Nike before they carry out an act of sedition...Air force One's usually, although they have been spotted in Air Huarache's in some random cases.
When Barry paid us a visit, he was fairly mild-mannered, but all the same; made no reservations or kept any secrets about the severity of our situation. It turned out, that some marketing dude that used to be there(wonder where he is now...)had the *bright idea* of using stock photo's. They were taken down from the mainsite, as some of our *clients* were a little shall we say; jealous. No big deal, took the photo's down, but what we didn't realize, was that in replicating, re-replicating, and tweaking the site was that they were at least 4 other sites hosted with different names and templates that we didn't update STILL HOSTING THESE PICS. No one thought anything of it, as it was good material to try new stuff on...until...some weird looking australian chick came by the office wanting all kinds of shit, like $2 a click(???)and to be able to put MORE girls up there(????)we were like, "Ok...um...who are you?!" She replied that the pictures that were using were actually pictures of "some of her girl's" and that not only were we to pay for the cost of leasing that content that was already up, but to generate more clicks on it AND then charge us a "discounted" rate to add more. Where this other dude got these pic's I don't know. What I do know was that my boss at the time was psycho(I miss him)and he freaked out on this little australian chick something fierce. The next day we met "Barry"...They worked out a *deal* and I quit a month later, the business was sold 5 months later...

Insightful, but white/black gi's are different from white/black people. Allow me to quote a passage from Mos Def:
"The way they use real life, is real trife, just to sell Nikes?! This high-drama shit just ain't right...."
I find this ad to be offensive.
