Weekend Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Mar 14, 2009 8:55am PDTNice to see that we got some actual BioShock 2 details yesterday, especially after the early morning fake-out. Though I will admit, I'm a bit bummed that the rhinoceros and giant squid bosses turned out to be bunk. Those sounded off-the-wall awesome.
As Indiana is still pulling the old "it looks sunny and nice outside but it's really just a few degrees above freezing" trick, I think I'll end up spending most of the weekend inside. Let's see how many episodes of The Wire I can burn through, but don't worry. I'll take breaks to play Resident Evil 5, 50 Cent, and Peggle. Maybe I'll even read a book!

I'm going to give it try later when I get home.

I just achieved my 100th Ranked Battle win, and on the pleasing note of uppercutting Akuma right out of his Ultra Demon in mid-flight
New Rank: 1803 BP.
My goal of over 2000 BP by the end of March is in site.

Job A: large successful company, excellent work environment, casual (jeans and t-shirts) dress, profit sharing, stock options
Job B: public university, less money, better/cheaper health benefits, more vacation, no bonuses, free courses and higher learning
What would you pick? This isn't a self-aggrandizing post; I want some serious thoughts here.
Say there's a 10-12% difference in pay.

He has a hard drive. It's called "Clickfree Automatic Backup". It's a 350GB, NTFS formatted drive that is set to read only, and only using the software that comes with it will allow you to perform a backup. I want to format it so he can use Time Machine with it. In OSX / Disk Utility, everything is greyed out. It won't touch it. In XP, when I right click, format, it gives me no formatting options in the drop down list.
How the hell do I format this piece of shit device?

I think obviously the naked singularity (think a type of black hole) is the key. These things have the ability to churn space and time in their vicinity and even turn ones path in space/time back on itself. Starbucks reserrection is somehow tied to this as is the repetition of the cylon/human cycle. My guess is that it's a closed time loop in which the cylon/humans keep falling into the space near the singularity and end up near earth of the past, repeating history. Upside, the part of the fleet that doesn't follow them probably goes off to survive outside of the time like loop, finding a home in the present.

The bad:
- Silk Spectre II is, as many have noted, very average and a not strong enough lynchpin to end the film on in my opinion but the actress is no worse than Portman in Star Wars, Dunst in Spiderman or Berry in X-Men, so she's in good company and at least she got her tits out
- Her tits were kinda small, but a great ass
- Manhattan's CG was patchy as all hell at times, especially around his mouth
- The ending is all wrong tonally, it just sort of happens and there's no similar sense of gravity to the proceedings
- Superheroes or regular heroes? There was enough wall to wall flipping, jumping, bone-breaking and acrobatics to convince me that these weren't regular people acting out in costumes but insanely bad ass strongmen and women
- Ozy and Silk Spectre II both look too young for their purported ages, I mean, they all did except the Comedian but these two noticably so
The good?
- Pretty much everything else imaginable
- Rorschach was fucking amazing, mask on and off, Haley deserves the Ledger-level praise - here's hoping he gets a nod but unlikely given mask
- Jon's voice and the general presence of Manhattan, blue dong and all, was fantastic
- Each of the backstories were nailed very well
- Every "big" scene that played out great in the graphic novel played out splendidly on the big screen with the allowance for those that got cut for time
- Some all-round solid acting from Comedian and others, dodgy make-up notwithstanding
- A ton of other stuff that I can't think of right now, like some of the funny parts and using Ride of Valkyries when they did
Short version? 2 and a half hours of awesome with a totally muted denouement that leaves bad taste in mouth due to it being tonally shit.

i was asked to send over a copy of my resume to an HR rep at a firm i'd love to work for. so before i send it over, i had a friend (a current employee with them) look over my resume and he made a few changes with word's track changes feature. i made some of the recommended changes and sent it over.
i get a bad feeling out of no where so i double check the sent email. fuck me if i forgot to change the setting to 'show final' so the copy of my resume she received is all marked up. i'm so pissed at myself i can't believe it. like i needed any more help not getting a fucking job in this economy.

Guy drops off his car to be fixed and when he comes back to pick it up robs the place. So Einstein here has the garage fixing his car. So they probably have a good idea of the make, model, and license plate number and I'm sure this brilliant guy gave them his proper contact info too.

It's procedural, I need to be able to repeat the process to make it persistent...and the only data I have to work with on each tile is it's position in the world - X and Y. So say I have a tilemap full of tiles of grass and concrete, and on grass I want bushes to pop up "randomly", what equation am I looking for?

1) If an orange peg is not hit during a turn, the player takes a drink.
2) If an extra ball is earned, either through points or by landing in a bucket, your opponent must drink for each free ball.
3) In the event of Extreme Fever, an opponent must drink depending on which pit is hit. The middle pit is worth three points, the two next to the middle are worth two, and the others are worth one drink.
4) If more than two people want to play, whomever has earned less points relinquishes their seat at the end of the stage. Note that this is almost impossible to keep track of in Regular mode, but after a few levels, everyone should be feeling jovial.
This was tested with a group of eight people, most of which had never experienced Peggle. It proved to be a success with the Xbox 360 version, and once Rock Band took over the Xbox 360, the PC version was found to be just as effective at providing joy.

I suppose it doesn't really matter, but I don't really see the point in changing it other than to make it trendy. I just hope the station doesn't go to complete shit with BSG ending and that gamer show just beginning. :(

Remember, the old Austrian dude that abused his daughter while locking her up in the basement for 24 years and having 7 children with her?
This site offers a virtual tour in his horror basement. And horror it must've been: http://www.news.at/prod/510/verlies/
On the first day of his trial he claimed guilty on most charges but also stated he "had a rough youth as well"... Yeah right.
