Yeah, my skinniest jeans aren't really right. My shirts are pretty tight though.

And yeah, Mr. Dave's was epic.

The most I've ever spent on a pair of jeans is $30.

IDK how people can spend $60 on video games...

Well I do, but I mean, I spend a lot more time in my pants then I do most anything else, so why not spend that money on something quality. I like Luck Brand jeans myself, and Hollister can make some nice ones once in a while too. No one seems to make lighter washes of jeans any more though, so I've been sticking with the same 3 pairs for a while now.

BoopieJones 02-20-2009 11:44 PM

im soo spending 60$ on sims 3. :D

That's right: If you hit pedestrians, they'll become regular patients that you can pick up and deliver to the hospital to gain points as normal. Though this feature was clearly intended to be a cynical joke, if you actually buy a copy of Ambulance Driver in hopes of vicariously living the noble life of a selfless paramedic, you'll probably be horrified.

Molecules 02-21-2009 08:35 PM

Been reading through all these having a giggle and most of the regulars seem to share in common a misanthropic, hipster-hating, immaterial nature which is jolly nice. I think people that spend enough time listening to music to post here regularly are likely to be looking for something more in life, good job.

The most I've spent on a video game is $50 unless you count the time where I went in with my brothers 3-way for Medal Of Honor: Heroes 2. I'd consider a video game to be far more worth it than an article of clothing (that the only reason you spend so much is to impress other people with the name brand or odd stitching). Video games go a lot farther than that.

When i was a kid I had to beg my parents for a year before they bought me a £40 copy of Sonic & Knuckles. lol. Don't even have it anymore. With the exchange rate in '94 that must have been, what, $70?

Molecules 02-21-2009 09:02 PM

dam rite! Had to wear potato sacks and tissue-box shoes for a whole year after that godammit. good times

games have progressed so much though, it's like a free acid trip, no-one can say they're overpriced really...compared to some well-cut jeans made in a sweat shop for two cents by an emaciated Indian boy covered in gutter poo

1. I was born in Derbyshire, England in 1993 and lived there until I was 5 (still have the accent).

5. I can stick my legs behind my head.
6. I have a freckle on my face so dark that it is commonly mistaken for dirt, sometimes by people that have known me my whole life.
7. My username was the first username I ever used on a forum. KH stands for Kingdom Hearts, and I joined a forum concerning said video game when I was 10. Most of the people there thought I was in my 20's until I acknowledged my age o.o
8. I am a year younger than everyone else in my grade, for the most part.
9. I love redheads, maybe it's something to do with being one myself.

14. I have often fantasized about matricide.
15. My brother, who I think may now be a chav, I'm not sure, was the guy who introduced me to Radiohead, Guster, and SOAD. He's living in England now, that's why I'm not sure, but he's certainly got the accent for it, he sounds like an idiot :D
16. I am incapable of owning a pair of earphones for more than one year without having them break.
17. After chewing a wart on it when I was 9 for about a year, the lower half of my left index finger has a permanent callus on it.
18. I find it extremely hard to go to sleep, which contributes to the fact that I have never slept on a plane, even though I've been on over twenty ten-hour or more flights.
19. I have a pair of friends who only like metalcore and country. I persistently try to break them of it, but it's impossible O_o And then they don't like half the metalcore I recommend.
20. I plan to be a video game designer when I grow up. I think I might be selling myself short, but who the f*ck cares?
21. My least favorite movie is Sleepover. Watch it. I DARE YOU.
22. On my old computer, I owned all of Dragonforce's discography.
23. I have a low tolerance for lack of sleep.
24. I only visit three forums, and one is on the verge of dying due to lack of regulars and all of the new regulars being infantile.

the ONLY thing they got wrong in the review is the announcer voice. he was one of the graphic artists not a programmer haha (he sat across from me)

@khfreek - take a look at that review. it's the end result of a 6 month contract that went over by a month. the contracts were signed by people who had no concept of development, design, or technical limitations. it's not how 'all' of the industry works but if you're dealing with 3rd party stuff it's really not that uncommon. it doesn't have to be good it has to be done, if you can't handle that (i couldn't) you'll have a very hard time doing design.

7. Kingdom Hearts was the shit! Seriously, 7th grade for me was all about that game and nothing else. I think I've beaten it over 10 times. Oh nostalgia...

16. Go quality and you can't lose. I've had my same pair of Sennheisers for over two years now and have used nothing else.

I aim to be the best designer (or perhaps programmer) that I can be, so I'm going to put in as much work as I can while I'm learning.

Same here. It was the first REALLY good game I ever played, seeing as how I'd been living in China playing Tekken 3 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1. I love the story and voice-acting SO much :D

If it wasn't for the disney stuff I think people would regard it as one of the best ever. The story is unbelievably good. They got a bit wacky with it in the second one though.

don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to discourage you in the least here. just trying to get you to see the side of the industry that isn't covered in gamestop promos and G4 clips.

the reality of design falls much closer to project management than either programming or art. it's definitely beneficial to have a base in both aspects though as it allows you to speak with those professionals on their level. you'll deal with far more paperwork than polygons or code as a designer.

basically if you're not to the point where a company is willing to hire you before you finish school (like the one guy a year after me that went to EA) then you're going to have to work your way up to that level. notice how many party games have come out on the wii.... someone has to make the crap some suit signed off on.

Seltzer 02-22-2009 09:44 PM

I went into software engineering with an ambition to become a game developer and nowadays the idea sounds less and less appealing because I'm finding other software areas I'm interested in, the games industry is a very tough one, I want to have a life outside my career, and I don't have time at the moment to hone my graphics programming skills.

So I now consider game development a viable option rather than a blind ambition... I may or may not go into it. While I'm certain I have the capability, there are many downsides to it as well.

Pianogirl75 02-27-2009 02:14 PM

I'm way too old for this, but this looks fun and I'm bored. So here goes:

1. I'm recovering from Xanax withdrawals and skinny as a stick.

2. I've been married with kids most of my adult life.

3. The only other IRL person I know who has my taste in music is about 10 years younger than me.

4. I used to be a wedding singer.

5. I have tons of musical potential (voice, piano) but hardly any time or energy.

6. My sister and I used to sing duets that brought tears to people's eyes. I hardly ever see her anymore.

7. I have panic attacks when my kids get sick.

8. My oldest boy almost died when he was 4 months old.

9. Music calms me down.

10. I'm a very crunchy tree hugging, organic gardening, health nut.

11. But sometimes I cheat. Or get lazy.

12. I love the kind of chick music most guys just don't get, but I also love to rock out.

13. In high school I was a sort of a brainy misfit that some people respected but nobody really knew.

14. The state of the world right now makes my cry.

15. The thing I got called the most as a kid was lazy. I still get called that.

16. I don't think I'm lazy. I'm tired and inconsistent, but my brain is always working on something.

17. I'm a film freak. I probably watch more movies than film critics.

18. I never went to college.

19. I'm really insecure about my lack of formal education. I've read millions of books on every subject imaginable, but it doesn't seem to count if you have no degree.

20. I've recieved the honorary title of doctor from many of my friends and family. I'm the one people go to for help.

21. I'm very quick and decisive.

22. I can sometimes seem very authoritative, blunt, smug, etc. But I don't mean to. I'm just sure of what I know.

23. Crowds make me anxious and tired.

24. I have the nervous habit of pulling on my lip.

25. My speech is very precise, which makes me sound pretentious, although I'm not at all.

2. I'm English so I like to take the piss. Unfortunately on a predominantly American user site I have to tone down my infamous wit.
3. My film tastes leave people non-plussed. I love well crafted, beautifully filmed, cerebral films. I also love Cheesy B action movies, Italian giallos and sick horror shit. I just rarely like anything in the middle ground.
4. I have to hear a new band/artist every single day and sometimes I can hear 4 or 5 easily.
5. I saved my youngest son's life when he was 3 months old. He had bronchialitas (it's the infant form) and stopped breathing for 30 seconds. I gave him the kiss of life.

8. Although I try to be an aimable guy, I am not much of a people person and think that 80% of the human race are idiots.

11. My favourite colour is blue.

14. I have a very good memory and I can remember every single film I have seen yet I don't care to remember peoples names until I have got to know them a lot more.
15. I am saddened by the fact that my 15 year old son thinks my music tastes are generally crap.
16. I cannot watch a film on a PC screen. I have to watch a film in it's correct ratio and on a screen at least 21".
17. I can cook the best pasta dish you have ever tasted in 4 minutes.
18. Take an instant dislike to people with no manners or who are impolitefor no reason.

For #2: My wit usually depicts dry, offensive insults that include animals, corpses or women's body parts.

For #6: After a month on here I began to realize that I still have better taste than everyone.

Molecules 02-27-2009 05:21 PM

likewise with the car thing, you are not alone clearly. I am constantly being told i will 'regret it' if i don't learn to drive, but considering we will all be driving steam engines and cowering from radioactive dust storms or something 30 years I don't really see the big fuss. Plus it'll filter out all the bitches who just want me to drive them places and buy them shit because i can't do either hahahaha

Also your claims to chocolate immunity scare me, I get through on average one of the 120g bars a day

You are 14 and bisexual? with the greatest respect it is unlikely that you can form that sort of judgement so early on in your life.

Alfred 02-27-2009 06:14 PM

I'm 14 myself, but I have to agree with jackhammer.



Anyways:

26. I hate people who try to act manly/macho/masculine or brag/put others down regarding those qualities. I absolutely can't stand them, and anyone who has been infected with this lunacy should be shot.

I disagree, we all mature differently. I know people who've known about their sexuality since they were 12. Some have known all their lives...:\

I suppose that it is a tad early, but I gone out with both sexes, and I can say that I've enjoyed both equally.
