Fletch

Played it again this afternoon and I'm starting to see more high points in the gameplay. When you have even teams and you've got both ships without shields and defending against each other, it is really fun. I was railing transports out of the sky defending my base to much glee.

I think the mian problems with the demo are 1) the given weapons and classes suck balls and 2) people aren't playing the game as much as they are playing wtih the new vehicles. Also, the lack of lan support for the demo is fairly unacceptible.

Once all the weapons are unlocked and people get used to the vehicles, it should be a good time to play. Being unable to heal people as a medic, carry grenades, or have any sort of defense against vehicles just makes the game sucky right now. I'll probably still buy it just so I can special ops the hell out of everything.

Shitty console

Shitty price

I was one of the lucky few that got a Wii pre-order off of Amazon, so I'm set.

I hope the weapons that ship with the game are fun, because the ones in it now are poop.

ps: Don't tell me to get a DS. I'm not getting that expensive shit

Get a DS.

good job bro

Nathan = tom ?

You are correct.

buy a new one

who the fuck raised this thread for the dead?

I was abused by a series of tubes.

In what way was it better?

It wasn't posted by you.

Pretty much.

It was better when I posted it like 3 months ago.

this is games industry related how? *moves*

By the way: American football. Ha ha ha

Because everybody that gets on the Madden cover ends up getting badly hurt that season.

Dude, go to Ikea. Take Legacy west to the Dallas Tollway, turn north and go until you see a bigassed blue building with IKEA written on the side.

You have reached the final boss!!!

To fight boss with sock full of coins, press X.

To fight boss using plasma rifle, insert credit card number.

Sometimes I wonder if Sony is actively trying to go from first to last.

Microsoft will fuck your ears.

Believe me when I say there is always a way to fake it.

Yar, the texture is crap...

Now a better one!

I love TFC, and I play always on red... so I remake the logo: ^^

ingame:

I'd reverse the direction of the normal map so the logo bevels inwards instead of outwards. Plus, add some grit to it as well.

I like iTunes a lot. I've been a WinAmp fan since the beginning, and it took me a long time to accpt iTunes. I thought iTunes was too big on the screen and took up too much memory. I liked that I could get WinAmp down to a minimal space and memory footprint. What did it for me was that iTunes approaches your library as music, while WinAmp approaches it as files.

You have to really look hard to see a file name in iTunes. It treats every files as a song and gives you that information in a well laid out and organized fashion (something WinAmp lacked for a very long time). WinAmp always seemed to be at the mercy of people's poor file labeling and id3 tagging. When I stick in a CD to iTunes, it will rip and file it away without me having to tell it where to put it or how to file it. It starts paying the songs as I rip. Same sort of reverse funcationality with burning. It just works, and it works in a way that I appreciate and my sister can still understand. WinAmp just no longer does it for me. While I still appreciate it's simplicity, it just seems like it lacks refinement. It's great for playing files, but it doesn't do it for me when it comes to overal library management.

And don't get me started on the clusterfuck that is Media Player. If any of you use Media Player to manage your library, you deserve for your computer to catch fire.

Decided to see how my new camera backpack would hold up to hiking conditions, so I went to the local nature preserve last weekend. The sun started going down so I ended up just playing with light and shadow for the most part.

I don't think they're trying to replace DVDs, merely provide an alternative. If I was constantly traveling or in situations where I needed a good time killer, I would be on board iPod video so fast. But I don't realy have a need right now. I like my 4th Generation 40GB with photo capability. When it dies, I'll get one of the sexier new ones. 80GB does sound mighty appealing, though.

I'm staying away from Vista as long as humanly possible. I've disagreed with almsot every design decision I've heard of from them. Seems like you get an undodly resource footprint, ridiculously expensive UI, less ability to turn off features you don't like, and more phoning home to Microsoft every 5 seconds.

I'll pass. I loved Win2K, and it took me a long damn time to move to XP Pro (which I still think has too much bloatware to it). I'm not moving until I have a good reason (of which Microsoft has given me none).

how close can you bring objects with this and is it compatible with my eos350d?

According to the specs, 4 feet, but it's not intended for macro use. And no it won't work with your camera. It's a Nikon lens. Nikon and Cannon don't play nice.

Tell your friend to stop using Mapcore as a way to send important messages.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a new lens for my camera. I'm happy with my 18-55mm kit lens that came with my D50, but I wanted a nice zoom without having to shell out a thousand bucks. I was going to go for the 18-200mm VR that Nikon put out this year, but those things have become so freaking popular there is a 6 month wait. So I decided to go for Nikon's new 70-300mm VR instead. It's a few hundred cheaper since it is intended to be a zoom lens and not replace the standard 18-70 range lenses, but it still retains all of the sexiness of the 18-200, including the wonderful vibration reducation (VR) feature that should make life better at 300mm without a tripod.

Unfortunately this thing doesn't come out until October, so I can just stare at it's pretty picture.
