I think the teacher was really doomed from the start.... Day one of class, she was ignoring the students questions, not answering questions (beating around the bush), etc... Students lost all respect for her. Then the school tried to help her and she half improved (Before quickly going back to the old ways) and the students wouldn't listen to her anymore due to lack of respect.

Meh. Wrong moment to fanboy for the wrong software Minor issues aside it's really a great community builder.

Yeah school's too poor for that one. Yeah until we scare them off... It's not like our school is bad kids/special ed... Were just not traditional. We're lucky if we can get a sub (who attempts to teach) for more than a week. Except it wasn't. She didn't even teach each class the same information (Or assign the same homework, etc <-- And then she'd try to collect class B's homework in class A, etc) There's already after school help from a chem major, because people were having issues before. I don't think loading two or three complete classes on him is going to help.

I think it was Tucker Max who promoted the movie they made about him on p2p sites just due to the low amount of places it was showing.

I'm a Junior at Highschool, and after many complains of bad teaching from students and parents, they dismissed our Chemistry teacher mid-semester. (Finals are next week). I agree that her teaching practices were bad, and she wasn't doing a good job at teaching the content to the students. There's no new chemistry teacher lined up and we will probably bounce from substitute to substitute flunking as we go. For today (this being the first day) me and another student taught class (since the sub didn't know the content). This worked fine, and people understood the content (Even though the ex-teacher tried to explain it multiple times to no avail). However: This isn't going to work out. There are multiple chemistry classes and we can't teach in that those (And I don't know if anyone in those classes would be able to step up and teach it). We could probably assign homework (As far as our class) and use the book as a lesson plan, and even correct the work but I don't know if they (the school) would count those grades as valid and put them into the grade book. This still doesn't work with the other classes so... What should the general plan of attack be? Should we try to get the teacher back (If she's willing to change her teaching practices)? Should we let the school bounce us from sub to sub and try and keep the class afloat with student teaching? (Which only works until we can't figure out the content) Has anyone had this happen before/have any insight?

But MW2 is 3D.... Almost all FPS games are Gah, someone find me a place to a digital copy with $ currency, my laptop gets way to hot with a DVD running while playing. Steam is fucking ~$20 more than what I'd pay for a hard copy. It's $60 on Steam right? It's selling for $60+ here, in some stores they've supposedly got it marked up to double the price.

Only stuff in your Public folder is public. Anything in a folder other than that is only accessible by you, and then you can share folders between dropboxes where only those in the share can get it. I imagine it's not super secure but i'd hold the average guy out. Supposedly it stores older versions for up to 30 days but I haven't used this feature.

Nah that's the wrong censored version. Here's the real one:

Diggin it' the0rthopaedicsurgeon. Yay working on different parts at my leisure.

Should I have url-linked it? I'm not Briscoe ... I just photoshopped his image to try out my idea which would make the burning boat pop more.

Totally worth the trade off for Online Profiles, Zero Ping Advantage, and... Uh... >.>

I watched the trailer twice, first in French where I understood nothing and then in English where I got the plot. I'm torn about this... I like the setting/environment, but I'm not too sure about the storyline.

For some reason whenever I think about the image, I think it'd stand out with a ice blue sky in the background (Instead of the orange), which would really make the fire pop.... Maybe something to try, will probably look like bleh though. Edit: Nevermind this looks like crap. Terribly sorry to use Imageshack but I can't get anything else to load here right now. Though it might look better if it wasn't photoshop + hue/sat adjustment and the eraser tool.

I don't get what's going on... They keep announcing things which the community keeps going "Boo" at, and then they announce another "Boo" item... They just announced 9v9 Max players... That's too big for competition and too small for a good game I'd think? Either way... I think it's valid that their trying to make a fair and balanced gameplay but... with no demo and all of these "turn off" features... I just don't know anymore. Reading the replies on some other forums, people are not happy with this. I've seen a lot of "F u's" and "Not paying $60 for this bs", among others... I'm honestly surprised at what their doing. And the "official" response to the pirated copy? Ignored.

I swear Valve is trying to make it so everyone owns TF2. Three sales of TF2 being $2.50?!

As much as I love Hans Zimmer, I'm a hair bit bummed about it. They kinda ditched their old composer as far as I know, unless it will be a co-production. However Hans Zimmer's soundtracks for PotC were excellent and I'm sure it will only add to MW2.

Depends on the situation. If there's just a few common in the streets, Melee is a good choice. However if you get horded the melee's will only work if their coming in though one small entrance or you're corner camping. A spitter soon ends this. But I agree, their a bit too strong. There's now a shorter campaign (Mainly designed for Vs.), and all of the campaigns are Vs. Enabled now for L4D1 + SUrvival mode. And there's no real rank system in L4D1 or 2. Yes you can see leaderboards but only if you wanted to, and then it only ranks you against your friends. I'd say wait for the L4D2 Demo, see what it's like. IMO: It's enough like L4D1 that it feels like the same situation/zombie apocalypse, but there's enough new gameplay tactics, weapons, models/resources/textures/sounds that it's fresh and exciting. And you still get the old SI, but their fairly rare now so it doesn't even feel like you're fighting stuff from L4D1. Just my $0.02

o.o I am impressed.

Ah they must have changed it since I last saw it. (Site's blocked here )

My bad. I probably should have rephrased it better, but my point was still valid. You don't promote anti-piracy through making bad decisions and angering your community. And I wasn't directly attacking anyone's work on MW2 or at IW, I just think the company as a whole is making bad decisions... No one here is responsible for that, nor is any one person at IW responsible. If I offended anyone, I didn't mean to.

Don't trust XBox videos, they make it way boring since the aim is all whack. I imagine they have reduced difficulty to compensate.

I agree, I think Frie is misinterpreting some of our stances on the issue.

I haven't looked at the trailer [HP] just posted but last time the rain effects appeared to be lacking. More of an aesthetically critique but you'd think a game named Heavy Rain would have some nice looking rain. However gameplay looked interesting last time I saw a gameplay video.

Mmn no modding, no dedicated servers, IW holds the keys, etc. There's a lot of arguing and outrage about it.

IW: LETS COUNTER PIRACY BY MAKING IT FULLY INTEGRATED WITH STEAM AND VAC. Community: Sure sounds good, yay no punkbuster, woo! IW: LETS PROMOTE PIRACY BY RUINING THE FUCKING GAME
