  1. Yeah, I remembered the bullet filling up image as well. I knew I had seen it before, but I figured it was something commonly known about the turrets.
  2. I was watching Conan tonight, so after that magnificent display of comedy and talent was completed for the evening, Lopez Tonight crept up. I didn't change the channel right away, and there happened to be a joke about the Nintendo 3DS. Basically, Lopez kept calling it a "game" and that people were getting sick because they kept looking at their digital girlfriend in 3D.
  3. I just want this lawsuit to end, because it seems the further and further along this crap goes, the more and more ridiculous everything becomes. Now we have Anon, with skewed logic in tow, playing white knights to protect consumer rights by screwing around with the consumers' product. No Anon, what you're doing is not alike to Sony's position against George Hotz's work. See, everyone with a PlayStation 3 has access to PlayStation Network. It's a small, small, small group of those consumers that will want to do all kinds of hacking/homebrewing/modding to their console. So, the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many? Maybe if we were playing in some hypothetical moral dilemma, you might have a chance. No, you're acting like children and are only being supported by children. It disgusts me to see the "good vs. evil" mentality at work here. Reality check, this is "jackass vs. jackass" and nothing more. What good will come out of a bunch of greasy teenagers running into a Sony store and complaining to some employee? Sony isn't going to receive any bad publicity either. In fact, they [have and] will apologize for all your actions to the consumer and at least show concern for the consumers' condition. All you're doing is adding fuel to the lawsuit, and against the man (which you've never met and talked to) you so deeply so affection towards.
  4. Well, the Creative Suites are usually an investment, something you plan on using actively if your career is in Visual Arts or simply requires artistic means to achieve a goal. If you just want to Photoshop images for laughs over the Internet, Adobe is well aware of that fact. I was only able to legally purchase Adobe CS3 some years ago because my small community college was receiving only a few copies, and so the price could be reduced to $200. Otherwise, you're either going to pirate Photoshop or download Gimp. I checked not too long ago, and even with a student discount, one of the CS5 packages (Design Standard) was about $600. I have a friend working at Adobe, and he was telling me a story about a business transaction with a marketing firm in India. To summarize, Adobe wanted them to at least purchase a few licenses because they knew that the programs would spread further than where they were selling them. So, yeah, they're pretty cool with piracy because it has benefits such as training and branding their products international. I'm not sure this model could apply to gaming since, really, there's not much "training" to gaming. Obviously we all agree it's perfectly fine for low-income countries to pirate since they wouldn't even receive the games to play and/or pay, but I doubt you could convince them to ever legally purchase games based on any gaming series or gaming company. Unless it's a fairly priced digital download, some of the taxes and limitations make it an insane concept to "purchase."
  5. Hey parents, how was your day? You called earlier and I thought I'd return the... /ends in drama

  6. Action-Adventure Though I will say that more and more genres are incorporating RPG elements, which I do like in terms of leveling and creating variety in attack and defense. That's what drew me into Borderlands. Instead of outright being the capable behemoth of a gunslinger, you start out small and weak having to face pathetic enemies. Eventually you gain more powerful weapons and abilities, having to face stronger and crazier foes.
  7. The procedure of "milking" itself has been associated with animals like cows and goats, thereby rendering it as a byproduct of livestock. That whole imagining of "livestock" would put women, hypothetically, in a "Milker" employment position down to that level. I'm not sure exactly what conditions the women would be in, but it would ultimately come down to dozens of women lined in rows being milked by industrial machines for X hours a week. Of course, there's another perspective. When you go into a grocery store, everything is a product of either plants or animals. You pick up some apples, lettuce, fruit juice, a steak, some eggs, cheese, and etc. When you get to the milk, if you then saw "Naturally produced by FDA certified human female" (or something) on a carton/bottle, yeah, you're going to stop in your tracks. Rather than thinking of receiving your milk from a cow off on a farm, you've got the image of some dude's mom pumping her milk into bottles. I mean, cows are cows. Women are a little more... how do I say, "different." Like, imagine what woman would actually submit themselves to that job. Personally, I don't imagine a hot babe squeezing her lactating jugs as a "milker."
  8. If you have a membership (or know someone who does) to BJ's Wholesale they have generic versions of this for $15 for 300 pills. I've tried generic brands, but they do absolutely nothing during spring. I had Target's generic for fall during harvesting, which did the trick because I only sneezed with slight watery eyes. Now, well, I have everything on the outside of the box. Runny Nose Sneezing Sinus Pressure Itchy, Watery Eyes Itchy Throat and Nose Nasal Congestion Now I have a "Flonase-like" nasal spray which helps keep the snot from gushing out while I try to sleep.
  9. My allergies kept me up most of the night, but I went ahead and got a prescription nasal spray. Yay, no more problems... for now!

      I truly am my father's son. Like, we look alike and now we have the same allergies. At least he still has his hair! :D

      I like my hair.

      Those damn things never work for me.

  10. I think Pokemon is the winner because I can't think of any place better. Overall of course because I'm well aware there are major perks in other games. In example, I was going to say a Legend of Zelda game, but unless you're the Hero of Whatever, you're living as a commoner. Heck, as someone who lives in a village, you would have to tolerate heroes coming into your homes and breaking your decor and looting your valuables! So yeah, Pokemon! Everyone gets the opportunity to raise super powered pets that evolve into bigger and even more powerful beasts of mayhem. Oh, and the easy income of course!
  11. So far it's working better than Claritin-D, but I'm going to give it some time. I mean, Claritin-D worked for almost two weeks, but now it doesn't do a frickin' thing. Worse comes to worse, I'll run to the doctor with a dripping nose of snots demanding they shove steroids up my nose.
  12. Call me a man-child, but I wouldn't mind seeing this in theaters. I mean, Winnie the Pooh was actually a part of my childhood. The characters are iconic, and I do believe that the book (and series) is perhaps one of the best children's stories due to its imagination and use of breaking the fourth wall. Sometimes you forget that these animals are really just stuffed toys. Originally, they were characters in stories within the story of Winnie the Pooh, and that Christopher Robin and Winnie have a deep rooted friendship.
  13. I feel like a druggie with all the different allergy medication I'm trying. It's worth it if it means I don't have to have a garbage bin next to my bed filled with used tissue. Oh, and it's snot in those tissue, you pervs! >:(

    1. Mr. GOH!

      Mr. GOH!

      Real pervs would be totes interested in your used snot tissues.

      If it's really bad anti-histamine shots (3 doses every 6months for 3 years) really helps. Probs best to speak to you doctor but it's what worked for me during a particularly bad time.

  14. I feel like my attitude wasn't justified at first when I wrote the thread, but it got worse after I posted. They all came back to the apartment at 2:00 am, but instead of relaxing or doing anything quiet, they decide to watch a movie with the surround sound blasting throughout the complex. Seriously, though no one actually walked in to complain, you could still hear people and thumps on the walls and floors for them to turn it down. They never did. Though I question their intelligence and maturity, there are times where they're decent human beings. I have three in total, but I would say I can only stand one if we were to live together longer. My only complaint about that one is that he feels like he can dictate my life. Ever since I confided in him once, I think he feels like I gave him an open invitation to comment on things I do. What's worse is that when I don't do anything, he goes on about how I should be doing something. Oh, sorry, I didn't realize I couldn't have moments of relaxation. EDIT: Oh, and speaking of roommates breaking things, I've got one. Not too long ago, a roommate broke down the freaking door! Why? "I thought you guys were locking me out!"
  15. Oh boy, it might be that I've had a busy day and ended it with a terrible movie, but I've got to rant about the roommates. Well, truthfully, it's the people that flock around my roommates, but they won't escape my wrath either. To make this open to everyone, you're free to rant from your experiences as well. I like hearing about such things, especially if justice had been served! Anyway, I believe I've discussed a certain girl that drives me up the wall. That me and her are practically polar opposites and if we were left in a room alone, one of us would be dead within the hour. The roommate that associates with her tends to be a stick in the mud when it comes to fun, like not liking to play any kind of games. Not video games, I mean the general term of "game." Unless it's an official sport, he doesn't play it. So, to the point, tonight a megaton of people come into the apartment. Alright, what's going on? "We're going to burn some shit, man!" Oh, well, I'm not in the mood to go off in the middle of the night and burn some wood and junk. "Come on little friend!" What the hell did you call me? "Hey, didn't you guys see this Tron movie?" (I have a poster) Oh, they're talking about Tron; maybe I can talk with these people after all. Bitch-girl replies, "It was terrible and cheesy, so I couldn't help but laugh through the whole thing." Oh shi- I can handle other people's opinions. I'm on the frickin' Internet a bit of my day, so I'm going to see a variety of thoughts and ideas. Yet, with all my previous experiences with this girl, I became frustrated. I mean, she thinks Grown Ups is comedy gold! She spends most of her time with sports, television and etc, but thinks video games are a complete waste and all of those who play games smell and contribute nothing to, well, anything. I ended up saying nothing, but I was about to go into film critic mode. I'm not an expert, but I would say I'm a league above the average joe. I mean, yeah Tron: Legacy's story need work, but how in the hell are the visuals "cheesy?" Another thing, if you didn't like the music, what did you expect from a movie centered around entering an electronic world inside a super computer? Nah, we'll have some Toby Keith or Dixie Chicks whilst we see Programs ride light cycles.
  16. Hop I only went to this because my mother wanted to see it, and this is a woman who rarely ever goes to a theater. It's a kid's flick, but even then there are really good films geared towards a very young generation. I'll make this quick, but it was stupid. It wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but it was everything about the scripting, dialogue, and characters that made it not very good. They never explain why "EB" doesn't want to be the Easter Bunny, other than, "I wanna be a drumma, pop!" Then you have a grown-ass, unemployed, lazy, and slightly mental man secretly obsessed with the Easter Bunny. The ending is:
  17. Rotation can be quite enjoyable...
  18. Oh, I'll talk about Tim Rogers. Yeah, I'll talk about how he's the most...

  19. #1 makes the video worth watching.
  20. What is this I don't even!

  21. I've been faceless for far too long, and so I've turned the digital camera on myself. I didn't have much to do, so it's a bland shot. Still, I think it represents me to a reasonable degree.
  22. Last time I checked it was the show!
