Weekend Discussion: Derby Girls
by Chris Faylor, Jan 09, 2010 8:00am PST"Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free," warns the ever-wise Ween in its ditty "Roses Are Free." Keep that in mind this weekend. It's good advice.
And hey, since it's the first proper weekend of the new year, that means it's roller derby time, with the Fort Wayne Derby Girls (a.k.a. one of the most enjoyable ways to support both friends and local charity) kicking off their 2010 season tonight. Hugs!

That on top of the fact that I need to find a job so I can pay off this debt is giving me a panic attack. I'm not one to take on debt lightly and a lot of my tuition money has been payed for by grants and I've been doing this on my own but still $60k sweet jesus It's hard seeing me ever paying that down and owning a house and being able to eat.

I feel sorry for those of you who are going to miss out due to your misconceptions about the game.

Ok so mass doesn't change but weight does depending on gravitational pull. If a light metal object like a dime falls from 3-4 feet on the planet earth, nothing happens to it. If it were to fall one a celestial body with gravitation like the sun, which is about 27 times our own gravitation, I know the dime would weigh more, but would it also be subject to more force as it fell, possibly bending it? Inertial mass and gravitational mass are equal... I'm assuming the answer is yes, but I just want to make sure.

* Usually there are 2 plans of attack: The front way or the rear entrance
* Most people use the front way... and get ****ed
* The rear entrance can sometimes take people off-guard
* If you get a burning sensation, see your doctor
* If things start getting sticky, stand well back.
* If things start getting really hot, urine is always an option
* Try aiming your rockets at their feet!
* Yes, your bonk is meant to last 6 seconds
* If there are a few of you, it helps to all aim at the same target
* Some people upgrade their guns. Pussies.

I just went 1-10 in games, with each game, except the win and one loss, being games that had already been going for a few mins and where people were leaving because their team was losing. Then I finally got into a fresh one, which we won because we had a cheater on our team who got the nuke. Also adding to the fun is the horrible lag/anti-lag/hosting, the ever annoying campers and grenade launchers, and the increased use of non-fixed glitches/exploits (Model 1887 + Bling Pro, Carepackage marker + Knife).
The game is really great when none of this is present, which is why this shit is extra infuriating. Time to take a break.

a) can you buy unlocked Iphones anywhere? Online is ok as long as they deliver fast
b) how easy is it to unlock an Iphone if you just buy a pay as you go one, on O2 for instance?

As it turns out, it was designed by the two peeps chiefly responsible for the Quest for Glory games and the resulting adventure/RPG hybrid design used in those. Shannara apparently wasn't as successful in merging the two together (lots of complaints about it being too easy and the source material being kind of "meh"), but it makes me wonder.... what are some other adventure games that feature RPG elements?

On the face of it, it looks like you have it all. Great pacing, excitement, situations that feel plausible (within the inherent implausibility of your plot), characters which are not without problems yet seem more alive than most have ever managed. And damn it, you’re sexy – let’s not forget that. Whenever you stopped for a moment to let me look at you, I appreciated your stunning beauty, right before you rushed me off my feet once more.
Why, then, would I give all this up? In your own words, Uncharted 2: it’s complicated.
While it lasted, I barely had time to catch my breath. But once I found it and looked back, all I could see was smoke and mirrors; it became so obvious when I tried going on a second date. I caught myself muttering under my breath: “Okay, now this ledge will crumble, I’ll fall down here. Then I’ll wait and that guard will walk over there, to meet those two other guys, and another will pass by to the right.â€
Isn’t there a certain irony that while you’re enthusing about this character who’s such a chancer, an improviser through-and-through, you yourself never do anything that isn’t completely calculated, pre-arranged and timed down to the second? It is a good -- no -- great trick to make me feel like I am hanging on for life when actually you have everything under control, but it’s just that: a trick, and in your case not even a particularly well-disguised one. I wouldn’t mind very much, except that you seem so very smug about it.
