    no, please don't do that! if i recap the average female opinion than having really short hair is way better than long hair that is combed to hide stuff.

    i don't know if that helps, but many male pornstars have no hair at all (even on their heads)

    It sure helps me tho

  • God of War III

    Oh and Skjalg, FYI then GOW2 > GOW1

    Psht. The first one had perfect flow, while the second one was better in visuals and story.

    But as for the actual game play; you know the part of the game that makes it fun to play, and not to just watch, then the first one was a lot better and more polished

    I have just spent the last 4 weeks playing through both, without even knowing what the games were about before I sat down and played them. I am sure tho, that if you spent 3 years waiting for the second game to come out then it might have made the experience better for you.

    Quote from Campaignjunkie

    I taught a game design class and tried using an achievement-style system for grading / attendance... it failed because that meant I had to keep track of said achievements and it was a total pain the ass. I mean, it sounds great in theory, but without a computer (or an underpaid aide) to track and log everything for you in the real world, then it's really not worth the relatively meager gains.

    It would take you about a days work with any programmer tool to make that job take you 5 minutes.

    At my daytime job we actually discussed this a couple of months ago in our programmer team; that we should try to implement game play ideas into our product more so that the whole experience because more fun. We're making an ERP soloution/Economy software for small businesses.

    And here I thought I was clever and being the only one who thought of this idea.

    Maybe its just me, but Terrans were underpowered in SC1 as well.

    That is definatly just you They are the hardest to master, which is why people think they suck. But when you do know how to play with them then you own pretty hard. Some people say that is what is happening in sc2 as well.

    And yeah, reapers are owning the lower tiers of the ladder right now, but you hardly see the top 20 use it. They usually either go for early air-to-ground or tank/marine push like in the old sc.

  • StarCraft II

    I've been watching a lot of live streams from pro players and it seems that the terrans are a bit underpowered at the moment. Most people seems to love the reapers, but they aren't powerful enough to warrant the love they are getting (which means they get raped).

    2 friends of mine have bought cd keys from Ebay for about 300$, and a third one is looking for one

    And which site did you use?

    http://www.be2.com/

    They charge insane amounts of cash, for the "premium" stuff, which basically is sending messages. So be warned. I signed up there because I didn't know about that, and when I did I had already filled out all their shit. On the other hand, you'll only meet chicks that are really wanting a serious relationship tho.

    I obviously didn't want to pay up so I just left everything be.

    A couple of months later they emailed me on my birthday to congratulate me and give me 3 "free" days on their site. That was all the time I needed to find my current gf
