8Well, Command & Conquer 3 is pretty much like I expected it to be..and that's a very good thing. Just can't go wrong with C&C gameplay and cheesy FMVs (well I guess you can, but I love it). Will be picking it up for sure.

Open up skirmish and in the race dropdown menu mouse over Nod. It looks greyed out and its unclickable but that doesnt matter. Press the "N" key and it should select NOD. Enjoy!
You can do the same thing with the "G" key to turn the computer in to GDI. Pretty sure you can't select the Scrin or whatever the alien race is called.
Personally I think the game is a bit boring but who doesnt enjoy a spot of NOD ownage?

The Aquos has better contrast and response time, but the Westinghouse is about $500 cheaper, which would you recommend?

I had to use qtips and rubbing alcohol and then canned air to clean the outside of the case. But that was the easy part. The dvd tray was covered in tar and grime. Obviously a smoker owned this console.
I'll keep you guys updated on this one's lifespan. I dont imagine it will be that long.

projector for sale!!!
I have a panny AE700 for sale. LCD 720P with about 270 hours on the bulb. it's a great projector that can accommodate a really short throw (small room can still be a big size screen). comes with a remote, the original box, warranty, and I installed a color filter to even out the colors a bit (LCDs usually are a bit blue)
original price was $2k. I'm selling it for $825.
I'll include free shipping if you pay the paypal fee.
this thing was awesome. I used it on a 133" pull down hi-power screen (which I also need to sell but it's too big to ship). I'm changing my HT around a bit and going towards a constant height system.... so I need something that could handle the changing aspect ratios easier. no stuck pixels or any banding and comes from a smoke free household.

Wtf? How do I plan one? I'm gonna be a first man for the first time and I have no idea how to get started on planning the party. I mean, beyond booking a limo, booking a bar, hitting up the strip clubs and drinking our faces off, what is there to do?
Also, who pays for all this? Me?

So my woman pulls out her ol' SNES, Sega Master System, and Sega Genesis from the closet. Says she's gonna sell them and all her games. It's crazy, she even has the Light Phazer and Sega arcade joystick.
But I'll be damned, we can't get any of them to work on the 27" Toshiba. We want to play some Hang Out and Breath of Fire, dudes.
We even tried two RF adapters. We plugged each system in, make sure it's switched to Channel 3, and tune our TV to 03, but nothing.
The screen goes black, but nothing else happens. No audio. All three systems can't be toast, could they? [sad puppy dog eyes]

The game is good, the advice to play it in small doses worked... it almost got a bit too long, lots of repetative shooting, but I figured it would be going in. This game needed an awesome heavy metal soundtrack... Would have been awesome if they could have fit it in with the quiet scary parts.
The final boss was awesome, so freaking huge. Nice to see big bosses and whatnot. I was quite impressed I hope duke forever has bosses similar, Duke 3d did so we can only hope.

You know those tweaks that occasionally happen to games that have a hugely positive impact on a large portion of the experience? One of those was just done to Armed Assault, and it has to do with how the view moves in ironsight mode. The way it works in OFP and ArmA currently drives me insane - the view shifts based upon how the weapon bobs, which makes it ridiculously difficult to be effective when moving with your weapon sighted because your perspective is bouncing all over the place. BIS just recently changed this on request (cough, cough), and man.. it's a massive night-and-day difference.
If you were put off by the clunky infantry combat in ArmA's demo, take a look at this video. You should be able to clearly see how much better this method is compared to the old one.

This change completely redefines how close-quarters and MOUT combat happens in ArmA. It also has a dramatic impact on how the recoil works, how machineguns handle, etc. It's damned impressive, and I think it's going to go a long way towards making the overall combat feel more fluid and responsive.
This will show up in the next ArmA patch (1.05, which has a changelist you can find here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Version_History ) , and will definitely show up in any future demos for the game.

she walks up to me, and proceeded to pull her shirt up over her face and says, "Knock, Knock!"
Dumbfounded, since we never tought her any knock knock jokes, I look at my GF and she just shrugs her shoulders..
"whos there?" I say..
"No!" she yells..
ok... "No who??" i say..
"NOBODY!!" and she bursts into laughter and runs back into her room..
my GF and i have been cracking up for 15 minutes now..

I could use some rocking recommendations. I'm looking for something kind of out of the ordinary for me... heavy metal. not death or power or thrash but heavy. I'm thinking along the lines of what they play in The Pick of Destiny, specifically the devil's rock-off and the dio prophecy. like I said that's kind of unusual for me, I'm usually into harder stuff, but the mood just struck me and I have no idea where to start looking.

It'll be Part III of News War, and this (90 minute) episode will focus on how tough newspapers and other traditional-media outlets are finding it to remain profitable while fighting for market-share with newer sources like cable television and the internet.
Parts I and II dealt with how the media and the government interact, and are available for free streaming on their website.

I need to get myself a job, but taking a peek at the postings from some of the companies I'm interested in shows they mostly want 5+ years of experience. What I'm looking for is some form of hardware design (ASIC, schematics layout, FPGA, embedded systems, etc).
So where do CE/EE graduates go to get this kind of experience? I'm just curious about what your experiences were.

Ok so I have this Creative Zen V Plus MP3 player... but I think the cd that came with it got thrown out. Where the fuck can I download the software that comes with it? Specifically Creative Media Explorer? I tried www.creative.com and all they have is a patch for it... assholes. Plus they don't even have the fucking drivers for it, and for some cock sucking reason my laptop can't work with it, but my desktop has no problem. See I need this Creative Media Explorer thing so I can watch videos on it, but I can't find it... please someone help a brotha out!
TIA, I love you all!
