Dear Planetcrap: Quit Whining.
February 23rd 2009, 02:37 MSK by Charles The topic system works just fine. Submit shit worth talking about, and there's no problem getting things on the front page. See? I just did it. Use it or not, but bitching about it without using it is kind of sad. |

#50 by Gunp01nt now that it's been announced that people died in the crash. Damn. Local news here says no casualties, but apparently there's some confusion on that still. What's with all the planes crashing lately? Is there even a statistical increase? "Common sense; it is so rare, it is a god damn superpower."

good luck Caryn! "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Caryn should wear a swimsuit with hiking boots and bring along a stuffed unicorn. What pictures? Link! <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

What's with all the planes crashing lately? Is there even a statistical increase? Anyway, I'd say that those statistics are nothing but twisting the truth. Number of cars/trucks/buses/trains/ships on the road vs. number of airplanes in the sky. I'd say there must be billions of cars on the road at any given time. Airplanes? I'm SURE there aren't as many. Number of miles an average person might fly in a year (0-1500) vs. miles an average person might travel by all the other traffic mediums (everybody does at least 3500 miles a year in a car alone. Add buses, trains, metro, tube etc. to the picture) If I use my car 500 times a year without anything ever happening to me, then get on one plane, and crash and die, those statistics can lick my burned balls.

What? "Common sense; it is so rare, it is a god damn superpower."
|

CNN says 9 people died, but I don't know the time differential between posts! |
|
Oh ok, only about an hour. |
|
Use your brain. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Amazingly, I did. PC's post time means jack and shit to me, so eyeballing someone's post without any frame of reference does me no good. |

Quake Live is now in open beta, although the initial signup is a bit slow at the moment (I guess they didn't anticipate such a rush). There seem to be more of the casual gamer crowd now, which means I'm getting raped a little less often. Also, there are now various achievements you can unlock, if that's your thing. If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

Germany is GMT +1. Just saying. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

#31 assemblerer - As much as I prefer to start from a scratch, there really is no good reason not to use some existing framework instead of reinventing the wheel. Unless, of course, you are doing it as a learning experience as much as anything. I wouldn't trust a programmer whose only experience was modifying someone else's existing shit, would you? Well, until I've done shit myself, I won't trust myself to use existing resources properly. No.

Good luck, Caryn. If you really wanted to impress them, you'd show up in your belly dancing costume, except swap out the sword for a crowbar. blog | photoblog | PlanetCrap Flickr group

Good luck Caryn! I hope they don't insert gas fittings into your forehead like that one employee of theirs. |

#51 by gaggle What's with all the planes crashing lately? Is there even a statistical increase? The thing is that even though it seems like a lot of plane crashes, the survivor rate has been pretty good. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Played some Left 4 Dead in versus mode last night, and ...eh. I should really give it a few more shots before coming to a final judgment, but my first impression is that I don't like it as much as the standard co-op game as survivors. Was it just the server I was on or is versus stacked WAY in favor of the infected? No matter which team was playing as survivors, they just got stomped every round. The combination of human intelligence guiding the boomers/smokers/hunters on top of the standard vanilla zombie hoards threat just made things brutal for the humans. Kind of fun when you're on the undead team, but frustrating otherwise. blog | photoblog | PlanetCrap Flickr group

Report on an interesting study of MMORPG players. Highlights: 1. Women are more hardcore than men 2. People tend to play with friends/family from offline relationships, not online ones. 3. MMORPG players are healthier than non-players (WTF?) 4. These games, especially RP servers, are full of depressed emo types. I'm skeptical about #3, mainly because the study asked players to report height/weight in survey form. They say this is the same methodology used to gather info on the comparison groups, but it still seems suspect to me. I also wonder if they controlled for age (younger folks may be healthier than older). #2 is interesting, though. Seems to suggest that game companies do everything they can to take larger social networks into play when marketing their games or building their own social networking tools. blog | photoblog | PlanetCrap Flickr group

jj (re: blog post), I saw that whip on sale and was really tempted to buy it for myself. And yes, that was intentionally vague for the sake of humor. |

I'm on my free month of Xbox-Live. Fun stuff! If anyone wants to add me; the tag is FoRmaTiTo. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

I've seen versus servers where the infected get their asses handed to them, but it's fairly rare. I think it's ok for the occasional change, but it's not as fun as it should be. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

#69 by Jamie 1. Women are more hardcore than men 3. MMORPG players are healthier than non-players (WTF?) To 1. Yeah right, I wish! As for three, what if they're including much of the casual crowd? Sure if you play MMOs obsessively ten hours a day I doubt healthiness occurs, but those who spend half a dozen hours a week could have a better outcome yeah? Besides, you gotta be skinny as a motherfucker to fit the game's idealized female forms. "Common sense; it is so rare, it is a god damn superpower."

Jamie (#74): Oops. The only reason that I said anything is that it's the second time you've made that mistake recently and I know that you know better. I'm just watching your back, man! "THE FUCKING KITTY LITTER FUCKING BOMB GHRHGURHGUHGRUGHRUGHURHGURHGHHGHUAHUHU KITTY" -- greg

Wait, blog post? |

How's this for not whining; Sony's suddenly remembered they have a portable platform and announced a job lot of releases! Motorstorm, LBP, Assassin's Creed, Persona, etc. Good stuff, I might actually switch mine on again.

#79 by TreeFrog How's this for not whining; Sony's suddenly remembered they have a portable platform and announced a job lot of releases! Motorstorm, LBP, Assassin's Creed, Persona, etc. Good stuff, I might actually switch mine on again. I am looking forward to Motorstorm, LBP, and Assassin's Creed. What I mean by "looking forward" I meand that when info of the game itself comes out I will read about them and see if they are any good and worth getting. I hope that they are worth getting, though. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Why are we recycling QT3-threads? "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

To know what GMT+1 is, I'd have to give a shit about GMT. Just sayin'. |

What kind of treat/candy/cookie would make a good boulder for Indiana Jones to run away from? |
|
Or is there a better scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark to make a cake out of? |

You could make Alfred Molina's corpse. Have a bunch of sticks on top. BUYBUYBUY

jjohnsen (#85): Or is there a better scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark to make a cake out of? The Nazi face-melting. Make some ordinary little men out of icing and leave them in front of an electric fire for a while.

That is my sons favorite scene. The "bad guys fire" scene he calls it, it's usually what he's asking for when we fast-forward through the Indy college professor scenes. It's the only scene that makes me feel guilty for letting a three-year-old watch that movie. |

A rice crispy treat ball. |

See? What'd I tell you. Perfect cake for a small child. They've all got to learn about how God melts Nazi faces some time. It would have made me pay more attention at church, anyway.

#89 by eggbert A rice crispy treat ball. Yep. |

PX - That 960.gs link on twitter was incredibly timely for me and awesome. \"Making love to a woman is like working on an assembly line. No matter how good you are at it, you\'ll eventually be replaced by a foreigner or a machine.\"

This is the most appropriate medium you could come up with to communicate that? Really? Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

this is were twitters come to die. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Sup. |

D, who the fuck are you on Twitter? I have a retarded following:follower ratio and I'd have to wade through a lot of people I don't know in order to find you. |

I wish Twitter *would* die. "THE FUCKING KITTY LITTER FUCKING BOMB GHRHGURHGUHGRUGHRUGHURHGURHGHHGHUAHUHU KITTY" -- greg

Amen. I have a friend who twitters several times a day and has it set up to update his Facebook status. I don't want to remove him, but for fuck sake, if I wanted to know what you had for dinner I'd use Twitter like the hundreds of thousands of other people who seem to deem it necessary to tell the world when they're going for a shit.

#97 by Ergo I wish Twitter *would* die. Fuck no it isn't. It was on Nightline last night. I think it's here to stay. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

What exactly would be the benefit of Twitter over Facebook. I just created a Twitter account out of curiosity, but I'm not sure why I would need both. blog | photoblog | PlanetCrap Flickr group
