  1. I was reading another forum and they were talking about how Valve releasing Source to buy by downloading it to your hard drive. Which means less retail copies they will have to produce. Good marketing idea but unfortunitly Vivendi is now suing Valve for preloading HL2 on your hard drive. Vivendi claims Valves Steam Copntent Delivery System is (and DUH) cutting into thier [Vivendi's] over the counter profits.
  2. Get his attention by giving him a nice firm handshake and when he looks at you say " Bring us Peace"
  3. I am sure this will be looked into and the logs provided, so just hold tight.

    McDonalds CS

    I couldnt tell ya if that was the same or not. I knew the KFC one was on there but I havent seen it since I have nothing to play that type of video and was under the impression that this was diffrent. LOL I guess my noobness is showing.
  5. Pong all the way. Only video game of that time I believe. Then we got a atari 2600, I can remember paying 40 bucks to get pac-man when it came out. Friend up the street had the coleco vision, pretty fun unit but the way they did there joysticks wasnt very intellegent, I can still here them cracking in my head. We always played ladybug on that one. Then I got a atari 400 and played Zaxxon and then nintendo and then sega and the Joe Montana Football, got the 32x adaptor for the sega. After that it has been all PC, I have never bought a console game since I went to PC gaming and can remeber playing on them green or gold screens, I remeber Aztec, ultima, and some ladder game, then came windows 3.1 and so on.
  6. Yes it does take off where COD ended. It is ok but I dont see it sticking around, gets boring real fast.
  7. Anyone going to get this game? I been looking real hard at it and will mostly likely pick it up. Been real happy with the LucasArts games I have bought in the past but never really played them in the multiplayer mode. The game looks like it would fit real good in our choice of games around here but time will tell us if it gets popular enough for us to even consider it. Star Wars Battlefront
  8. I think I will go pick it up tomorrow. Looks pretty kewl from the screenshots.
  9. Pretty kewl I got 14 out of 18..... Name That Video Game

    BAH!!!!!!!

    Times art tuff with the econemy being so poor. I looked for a job for about a month and a half before I finally landed a new one. They said at school your friends are your best networking for finding a new job. I was one that always got the Sunday paper on Saturday night and looked for any job that would fit my sititution. I also bought a cd that helps you make resumes, cover letters, thank you letters and all kinds of other stuff and woudl spend Sunday night tailoring my resume and cover letter to them specific jobs in the paper. With my current job I always had Mondays off so that made it easy to be at them companys first thing in the morning. I also spent money on nice folders to put my cover letter and resume in and let them keep everything. It was kinda frustrating to becasue 9 out of 10 times I would have to fill a app out even though I had resume, so I always carried my job history with me with the exzact dates and info. I got alot of interviews but also got turned down to but some tricks I used I think greatly improved me to being a top 3 canidate at just about everyone were. At the end of the interview I always told them "Thank you for giving me the oppertunity to interview for this position and I hope to hear from you soon" and then the next day I would go out and by a nice Thank You card and personaly write them a short and sweet note in it about how I enjoyed the interview and the knowledge I gained from learning about the company and express to them how I am the right canidate for this postion and send it to them. I would wait a week and call back and ask them on the status of my app I put in last week. In these days and ages I believe you need to be aggresive but not to aggresive when it comes to finding a new job and dazzel them with what you know. The one thing that crushed me in a interview once was when they asked me what my weakness's are and I was not prepared for that question at all but I learned from that and came up with some good answers for that if I were ever asked again. They were "Weakness's: Public speaking (most people are afraid and terrible at this), another was "sometimes I through myself into my work to much" (meaning I spend alot of time before and after work at my job helping others). I hope some of this helps you out and wish you the best of luck in your search. Any edge you can gain over the next canidate with greatly improve your chances of landing the job you want. As far as unemployment goes you can collect it for 6 months and then you can apply for a extention for another 3 months is usually the standard but I know that Bush passed a thing a while back that let you collect it for up to 18 months I believe but not sure if that has expired now or not. I collected it once, worked for a company for 12 years straight and then they closed the business, I qualified for the max benifits and I believe it was about 250 bucks a week.

    Yeah Baby

    Got word today, that I got a new job as a Maintenance Director. Get to set my own hours, no more late nights, no more Holidays, I am paid hourly not salary and get to help out with mentoring children which is something I have always wanted to do. All this is going to look awsome on my resume for any future jobs I might be interested in. The company I will be working for is world wide and since I will be a member of 1 I will be a member of all of them. This is also going to open the door for my availabilty to matchs, scrimages and practices on the UT side of things. O yea, almost forgot, there is all kinds of hot chicks that work there to. It's about time things come my way, I been waiting for this oppertunity for a long time and had to work lesser and more undesirable postions to get here but I always believed in good things happen to good people.

    Brain Teaser

    How many diffrence can you see in the 2 pics. There is 10 total but I could only find 3.... brain teaser
  14. This is not a issue but a suggestion the uMA guys made to me lastnight and I figured I would post it here. I know you are busy Chip with all kinds of things but maybe when you get some spare time, could you look into seeing if we could delay the bots spawning at the begining of the maps or rounds so they dont take all the vehicles and the human players have a better chance of grabing them before the bots do. It makes sence but I dont know if it is possible. Thanks Chip...
  15. What ever happened to the thick metal and hardcore v8 engines? All these vechiles out today are pretty much throw away vehicles once there wrecked. I have seen cars total just because they had hail damage. Once the vcehicle exceeds 70 percent of its retail value it is totaled and I think the manufactures are taking advantage of this becasue they sure do seem to make the replacement parts expensive. I bet if you poped that in the front and bent both fenders, hood, radiator support and the air bags went off that car would be a gonner.

    Advice?

    Actually I am old school and never moditfy from factory just for the reason when I go to sell all I got to do is look in the kelly blue book and wham thats what it is worth. When you add all other things it takes the value away from serious buyers or car dealers.
  17. Ya I use to have that on my website to under a pic that said lets roll..
  18. I will most likely be playing cs2 but as far as hl2 I really dont know becasue I heard team fortress2 will be seperate and will most likely play that.
  19. I splurged and bought me a f150 xlt last week myself. Got home from work yesterday with my taco bell, went inside and ate it (20 min at the most), came back out to put truck in the garage and them little punks egged my truck. GRRRRRR.....Everytime you got something nice there is someone out there that wants to mess with it. I could here them punks in the bushs laughing and yelling HA HA HA. I so wanted to unleash the dobberman on them but I restrained myself and put another coat of wax on it today.
  20. The advertizing message is spelt wrong. It says "make your momma proud joing the coalition today" The join is wrong.
