  1. Ah, see here you have to put both parents regardless. Also for determining income IIRC it basically just asks what your income for federal income tax purposes is. So whatever you pay taxes on that's what they consider you to have for financial aid purposes.
  2. According to the first test I'm an INFJ 44, 25, 25, 22.
  3. Wow, that seems like an enormous loophole. Does that work for income taxes as well? Do you even have income taxes?
  4. Well, recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts, anyway. But yeah, that's going to really help the anti-government-regulation argument in the courts. "See, the NEA recognizes it, therefore it's art, therefore it's protected by the first amendment, therefore you can't regulate it."
  5. You can indent and also have a line break, but if you don't indent you definitely need a line break, and vice-versa.
  6. I'll give a really brief overview of US school system (the public one, a lot of private schools do their own thing, but this is the "standard"): Preschool/Pre-K Before Kindergarten, so 4 or younger more or less. Basically this is more like educational day care than school proper. Kindergarten Age 4-5 or so. Often half-day, but I've heard of some full-day. Grade/Elementary School Grades 1-5 or 1-6, so ages 6 to about 11 or 12. Middle School/Junior High Grades 6-8, 6-9, 7-8, or 7-9, depending on where you are. Ages anywhere from 11-15, depending on which grades are in there. High School Grades 9-12 or 10-12. So ages 14 or 15 to 18. Most places though school is only mandatory until age 16, so some people drop out before finishing high school (then later when you realize you can't get a job without graduating high school you can take a test called the GED which gives you the equivalent of a high school diploma). Post high school graduation it gets more complicated. There are Community Colleges, which tend to offer 2 year degrees. There are Junior Colleges which (I believe) are also usually 2 years, but people normally go to those because either their grades weren't good enough or they couldn't afford to go to a 4 year university right out of high school, so they go to a Junior College first and then transfer to a 4 year university, because it's often easier to get accepted when transferring, and it's also cheaper. There are 4-year universities (colloquially referred to as "college") where you can go to get a 4-year Bachelor's degree, and then they also often have post graduate programs (like Master's/Doctorate programs). 4-year universities are usually made up of "colleges"; so like Kansas State University had the College of Engineering, and the College of Architecture, and the College of Arts and Sciences, etc.
  7. As long as they credit me with revealing its slogan.
  8. Oooh! Since the PS3 brought us 4D gaming, does that mean with the PS4 we'll be getting 5D?! "PS4, it renders graphics in dimensions you can't even perceive."
  9. I don't get the whole "announcement of an announcement" concept. Isn't the first announcement the "announcement"? Nintendo, you've announced the new console, it's been announced, all you're doing at E3 is giving us more information. You can't put the announcement cat back in the unannounced bag.
  10. The triggers have never given me any trouble, though I know that a lot of other people have problems with them. Making the sticks concave would fix my issue with them in most games (like in AC:B my thumb ends up "walking" off the edge of the stick), but for shooters there's more to it than that; I don't like how little resistance there is in the stick, which makes small, precise movements difficult, and also the deadzone in the middle is too big, which does the same. Those problems only matter for shooters though.
  11. Also I think shmups might be my least favorite genre, so there's that.
  12. I honestly haven't noticed anything, Netflix still works so I'm set. I'll be a little more upset though if it's not working by the time L.A. Noire comes out next Tuesday.
  13. I'm still skeptical that it will be Modern Warfare 3, considering there's a contract dispute over whether they have the right to make modern CoD's. If Activision makes MW3, and then West and Zampella win the lawsuit we're talking potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in damages that Activision would have to shell out.
  14. Every injury Desmond sustains is permanent, and if he dies the game deletes your save file.
  15. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
  16. I'd be okay with just a map and eagle vision, which they could easily explain as I said earlier with a GPS phone.
  17. You're far too trusting... *starts 20 downloads of the poster*
  18. Here's how they justify it: Desmond remembers these things, the player "is" Desmond so they should also have access to the information. The player is not *actually* Desmond. The player is playing a video game, so we can give them a map and stuff.
  19. He's got a REALLY good sense of direction. That, or GPS on his phone.
  20. You could try it but the specs say 2.4 GHz so I wouldn't hold out much hope.
  21. Here's how you know Mirror's Edge isn't a shooter: even on PC I prefer to play it with a 360 pad.

    1. Johnny

      Here's how you know Mirror's Edge isn't a shooter: most of the gameplay is running and jumping, not shooting.

       

      Also, I too prefer it with the pad, just because of the analogue movement.

  22. You mean as opposed to being prerendered? Aren't in-engine cutscenes basically the standard now?
