Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 21, 2010 5:00am PSTLast month, an English charity dedicated to helping children with disabilities enjoy video games launched a new website called Gamebase. Seeking to gather knowledge on accessible games, gadgets and gizmoes that can help open games up and such, it's still in its early days but could shape up to be something very helpful indeed. You might find it interesting, or perhaps you have a little knowledge to contribute?
Oh, and Bayonetta's 'Automatic' mode that so outraged certain gamers gets a big thumbs-up.

The chick who plays Zoe on the show could not be more irritating. Ugh, I bet the guy doing the interview wanted to punch her in her fat annoying face.

The new behavior is like Chrome. If you open a new tab, it opens it immediately to the right of the current tab rather than at the end of all the open tabs. If you're like me, you want to kill this feature with fire.
Open Firefox. Type about:config in the address bar. Agree to their stupid warning. Search for:
browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

I saw this posted recently about the RCs but not today about the final version. Thought I'd spread the love.

Quick update for anyone checking my post history for news. Yes, we are still going to play, and yes, I am still out of town. I haven't been at home for more than a few hours in a week and I won't have any time to work on the final organization steps until Saturday at the earliest. Let's just play it safe and push back the start until next Sunday, January 31. That will give me time to figure out leaders, shake out who's playing, and announce the start in time for people to not miss it.
Thanks for your patience, everyone!

Cameron: This was right at the beginning. . . . I had gotten fired off of "Piranha II" after a few days, so I kind of don't count that. So John Daly of Hemdale is financing "Terminator" . . . and we were literally a few days from starting and I was very prepared. I had everything storyboarded. I was ready to go. . . . Daly sort of reads the script a few days before we start shooting and he wants to have a story conference. . . . That's the one film that didn't evolve during the process because there was no time. There was just bare bones, 42 days and everything was exactly the way I had sort of drawn it out ahead of time. It was the most prepared of any film I'd ever gone into. And he wants to have a story conference . . .
"I want to talk about this guy who comes from this other planet." And we said, "What other planet? He comes from the future." . . . I had been with the prop guy earlier in the day and I had been looking at the props and I liked this .45 automatic and I took it with me -- empty gun -- in fact, it wouldn't even fire, it was a prop gun. It was a real weapon, it just had the barrel stoppered. . . . So I go in and I sit down in front of Daly's desk and he says, "Yes, I want to talk about this man that comes from the future and I don't really understand this and that about the story." And I -- it just was like a flash. I just opened [my] briefcase, I took the script out, set it on his desk. I took the .45 out, I set it on top of the script. I said, "I am prepared to discuss anything. . . ." He said, "You can't do that! I'm the producer!" I said, "I'm not doing anything." And he fled the room and we shot the movie exactly as it was written.

I am thinking of trying this game. I enjoyed old space games such as Trade Wars 2002, Elite, and Privateer. I enjoyed old MMOs such as Ultima Online. I never got into Eve because I was busy with other things when it launched.
How is the new expansion, "Dominion"? What Shacker corps are there? Is anyone here in Goonswarm other than Majuju and Link.? Do you have to have an account at SA to join goonswarm, or is the rec of a member good enough these days? How easy is it to level skills while offline (ie, I heard you can queue skill training)? How is the commodity market... like, could I just trade all day and make zillions of ISK, and do that as my main career in-game? How long does it take to train up a brand new character to the level where you can effectively pilot Titans, Supercarriers, etc? 3 months? 1 year? How easy is it to just hop on and play for 1 hour and actually get something useful done? Or do you need to spend 4+ hours a night to actually make money and gain skills?
And for those of you who quit Eve... why did you quit?
thanks for any replies!

My girl got her income tax today and she went down to Cingular to get her cellular plan reactivated. They told her she owed $1500 f'n dollars to get her phone turned back on. Its been off for over a month, and she has been using a prepaid phone.
They are also charging her $400+ for the past month that her phone has been turned off for overage?
They also told her that while her phone was turned off (you couldnt call in or out on it) she was still being charged.
She owed $317 when they cut her phone off and now its up to $1500 a month later and the phone service hasnt even been activated.
They are not going to do anything about it and say its her fault because she used the minutes... like i said shes been using a prepaid ever since her phone got cut off around a month ago.
Who do you talk to in order get BS like this straightened out? Cingular isnt helping anything.

Would still need a controller for the gun but you could shove zombies, use a med pack, help someone up by actually doing it.
Obviously it would be immediately banned in australia because of the self-injecting of adrenaline :)
