Mass Effect 2 DLC

No recent/relevant ME2 threads so I just wanted to jump in and say that the new Shadow Broker DLC was pretty awesome. Had some pretty intense moments, some new juicy info and feels relevant which DLC sidequests generally don't do. Highly recommended.

post here and I will rate you with a fictional character from a book.

my sister needs a cheap PC

Chris — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:53:31 GMT

she's a single elementary school teacher only two years out of college with student loans to repay so she doesn't have a lot of money. She's asking me for advice on upgrading a really old PowerMac her friend gave her since her last PC died, and I'm thinking it'd be better for her to just get a cheap new PC.

I don't know where to begin to look, but I would guess she'd like something around $500 if it's possible. Also if she could make payments or something that'd be even better.
No need for anything overpowered, as I said, she's a teacher. She doesn't play PC games or do any heavy photo/video editing (though I suspect she would like the ability to do some light photoshop work).

Ideas?

Too lazy to provide links and stuff but just thought I'd post some notes for those that played MW2 and are looking forward to BO (even though Treyarch is second rate)

- The game now uses currency instead of XP. I think this means you now just unlock the stuff you want.

- Stopping Power, Commando, One Man Army and Danger Close are all gone

- People who tried the game said guns have recoil on them again

- That said, it's no harder to one shot kill with snipers than it was in COD4 or W@W

- Shotguns are primaries again and don't expect Machine Pistols to be Secondaries either. Shotguns are supposedly shitty right now too.

- GunGame from CS is an available mode

- One of the 3 killstreaks gives you an RC car that you can detonate

- Kills from killstreaks no longer register towards your killcount (which means no instant nuke from using a Chopper Gunner)

- Nuke is gone

- "Chopper Gunner" is now a top/down view with a chain gun and the chopper itself moves slower

- SAM missiles are a killstreak

Fuck this is dope. Best hip hop track since "Exhibit C"

ISC — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:31:37 GMT

I'm a pulling a fer with this one.

http://www.economist.com/node/16941775

Quote:

FIFTY years ago, in the glorious age of three-martini lunches and all-smoking offices, America�s car companies were universally admired. Everybody wanted to know the secrets of their success. How did they churn out dazzling new models every year? How did they manage so many people so successfully (General Motors was then the biggest private-sector employer in the world)? And how did they keep their customers so happy?

Today the world is equally in awe of American universities. They dominate global rankings: on the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy�s list of the world�s best universities, 17 of the top 20 are American, and 35 of the top 50. They employ 70% of living Nobel prizewinners in science and economics and produce a disproportionate share of the world�s most-cited articles in academic journals. Everyone wants to know their secret recipe.

Which raises a mischievous question. Could America�s universities go the way of its car companies? On the face of it, this seems highly unlikely. Student enrolments are higher than ever this year, as Americans who cannot find jobs linger or return to education. Cambridge, Massachusetts, shows no outward sign of becoming Detroit. Yet there are serious questions about America�s ivory towers.

Two right-wing think-tanks, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the Goldwater Institute, have both produced damning reports about America�s university system. Two left-wing academics, Andrew Hacker and Claudia Dreifus, have published an even more damning book: �Higher Education? How Colleges are Wasting Our Money and Failing Our Kids and What We Can Do About It�. And US News & World Report, a centrist magazine, says in its annual survey of American colleges that: �If colleges were businesses, they would be ripe for hostile takeovers, complete with serious cost-cutting and painful reorganisations.�

College fees have for decades risen faster than Americans� ability to pay them. Median household income has grown by a factor of 6.5 in the past 40 years, but the cost of attending a state college has increased by a factor of 15 for in-state students and 24 for out-of-state students. The cost of attending a private college has increased by a factor of more than 13 (a year in the Ivy League will set you back $38,000, excluding bed and board). Academic inflation makes medical inflation look modest by comparison.

As costs soar, diligence is tumbling. In 1961 full-time students in four-year colleges spent 24 hours a week studying; that has fallen to 14, estimates the AEI. Drop-out and deferment rates are also hair-curling: only 40% of students graduate in four years.

The most plausible explanation is that professors are not particularly interested in students� welfare. Promotion and tenure depend on published research, not good teaching. Professors strike an implicit bargain with their students: we will give you light workloads and inflated grades so long as you leave us alone to do our research. Mr Hacker and Ms Dreifus point out that senior professors in Ivy League universities now get sabbaticals every third year rather than every seventh. This year 20 of Harvard�s 48 history professors will be on leave.

America�s commitment to research is one of the glories of its higher-education system. But for how long? The supply of papers that apply gender theory to literary criticism remains ample. But there is evidence of diminishing returns in an area perhaps more vital to the country�s economic dynamism: science and technology. The Kauffman Foundation, which studies entrepreneurship, argues that the productivity of federal funding for R&D, in terms of patents and licences, has been falling for some years. Funding is spread too thinly. It would yield better results if concentrated on centres of excellence, but fashionable chatter about the �knowledge economy� stirs every congressional backwoodsman to stick his fingers into the university pie.

The Goldwater Institute points to a third poison to add to rising prices and declining productivity: administrative bloat. Between 1993 and 2007 spending on university bureaucrats at America�s 198 leading universities rose much faster than spending on teaching faculty. Administration costs at elite private universities rose even faster than at public ones. For example, Harvard increased its administrative spending per student by 300%. In some universities, such as Arizona State University, almost half the full-time employees are administrators. Nearly all university presidents conduct themselves like corporate titans, with salaries, perks and entourages to match.

At least the Naval Academy is free

Given the size and competitiveness of America�s higher-education system, you might expect these problems to be self-correcting. Why don�t some universities compete by hiring teaching superstars? And why don�t others slash prices? The big problem is that high-status institutions such as universities tend to compete with each other on academic reputation (which is enhanced by star professors) and bling (luxurious dormitories and fancy sports stadiums) rather than value for money. This starts at the top: Yale would never dream of competing with Harvard on price. But it also extends to second-division universities: George Washington University has made itself fashionable by charging students more and spending lavishly on its facilities.

This luxury model is unlikely to survive what is turning into a prolonged economic downturn. Parents are much less willing to take on debt than they were and much more willing to look abroad for better deals. The internet also poses a growing threat to what Bill Gates calls �place-based colleges�. Online, you can listen to the world�s best lecturers for next to nothing.

America�s universities lost their way badly in the era of easy money. If they do not find it again, they may go the way of GM.

RCMP suspends 3 officers for viewing jail cell sex
Last Updated: Wednesday, September 1, 2010 | 1:59 PM PT Comments21Recommend10
CBC News
Three RCMP officers at the Kamloops, B.C., detachment have been suspended with pay following an investigation into allegations they watched two women on a security camera monitor having sex in a prison cell.

The supervising corporal and two constables involved in the incident were suspended by their commanding officer on Tuesday, the RCMP revealed in a statement on Wednesday.

The statement said a fourth constable who was under investigation was not suspended but did not mention three other civilian employees at the detachment who were also under investigation.

In a news release issued on Tuesday, the RCMP alleged that, for seven minutes on Aug. 18, four RCMP officers, two civilian cell guards and a civilian watch clerk � all of them men � watched the two women engage in what appeared to be consensual sex without intervening.

The women had been arrested in two unrelated incidents for causing a disturbance and being drunk in public and were being held in a cell that is monitored by closed-circuit video.

Police later said they believed at least one, and maybe both, of the women was too intoxicated to legally consent to sex, and the officers had a duty to ensure the women came to no harm while they were in their custody.

I have to do some research for a theatre poster I'm supposed to do in an art nouveau style, but as it turns out I don't know jack shit about theatre or even where to start. It's basically gonna be Mucha influenced and it'd be ideal if it were in the romantic tragedy category. Contemporary or Classical, doesn't really matter but definitely something where the love for/of a beautiful woman is the focus. Carmen is the only one that comes to mind but it's not an option since it was done last semester.

Halo Reach Leak

Goddammit, i've never wanted to fuck someone so much in my entire life...

IamEmo — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:21:58 GMT

this really sucks. i think the reason why it's bothering me so much is because i had the perfect opportunity saturday night and i completely fucked it up.

ANYWAY, last saturday my roommate brought this really cute girl over to our house. apparently they were going to this birthday party. he then invited me to tag along. the girl's name was Cait. the birthday party was for Cait's roommate at their house. we went and had a good time.

something weird happened though. for some reason i really wanted to talk to Cait but couldn't. i dunno. i NEVER get shy around girls. i mean ever and especially not when i'm completely hammered. i don't know what was wrong. but i was just so nervous around her despite the fact that i was totally inebriated.

ok, so we are there for about three hours and my roommate disappears. (i found out the next day that he left with some girl and he was able to fuck her.) so i'm just there with a bunch of strangers but i don't really care or anything. the party starts to wind down and i force myself to muster up the courage and talk to Cait. after talking for a while i told her that my roommate is gone. she tells me to just spend the night there.

well, the party ended and i just really wanted to fuck her so badly. she and i were the only two people left besides the birthday girl who is with some guy. i help Cait clean up and everything then she gets me the blankets and shit. well, i feel my opportunity might actually be coming.

she doe the whole thing where she tells me where everything is. then she says she's going to her room. she says which room is hers and to not hesitate to come up there if i need anything. now i read this as a sign (who knows if is was or not). the birthday girl comes back and i talk to her for a while then she goes to bed.

next thing i know i just feel like i need to go up there. so i fall off the couch and stumble up the stairs. i walk into her room and sit on her bed. "oh hi, do you need anything?" i tell her yeah. then i lie down and get under the covers. then i just fall asleep from all the alcohol and wake up the next day feeling total shame for not making anything happen. i just leave without her waking up.

i dunno. this has just really bothered me the last three days. i've only met her once but i just feel so.... ARGH! this is so weird because i've never felt like this before. and the fact that i just met her saturday and i haven't seen her since makes it even more pathetic. goddammit. i really hate this. i mean, i've never been shy around a girl before in my entire life. and i've never put a girl on a pedestal like i seem to be doing right now before either. this is so dumb.

Renew your Live subscriptions before November

Xbox Live Price Increase Coming November 1

Xbox Live Gold subscribers might want to renew before November 1, when the price of a yearly subscription to the service jumps $10 in North America.

According to a post on Major Nelson's blog, after eight years' of Xbox Live at the $50 a year price point, the service is finally seeing a price hike. Starting on November 1, a year Gold subscription to Xbox Live will run $59.99, versus the current price of $49.99. One month subscriptions will jump from $7.99 to $9.99, while three month subs will rise from $19.99 to $24.99.

Other regions will be seeing increases as well. In the UK the price of one month will jump from 4.99 GPB to 5.99 GPB. The price of a month in Canada rises a dollar to $9.99. Finally, a year subscription in Mexico rises from 499 to 599 pesos.

Microsoft is running a special deal right now for North American customers, allowing them to lock in a year at $39.99, $20 less than the new rate. For details, visit the deal website.

Jesse Divnich with industry analyst EEDAR sent out a statement accompanying the news, insuring consumers that $60 is still "an incredible value."

"When originally launched in 2002, a Gold subscription cost the same as an AAA video game, $49.99. When taking into account for inflation ($50 in 2002 is roughly $60 in 2010) and the additional services available to Gold subscribers in 2010, such as ESPN, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Last.fm and Video Kinect, a $10 price increase still represents an incredible value to consumers"

Whether or not $60 a year is an incredible value is ultimately up to consumers. What say you, consumers?

Really? They are basically punishing their largest user base and leaving the rest of the world untouched. Granted, its only $10 a year, my gripe is that everyone is using their servers, so why the hell are we the only ones getting a price increase?

As bullshit as this is, there is a small silver lining. If you renew now, you can save $10 off the current price.

Question here. How many of you actually know what exactly you are? Because I sure as hell don't and I don't think there's too many pure bloods on this board. Most of you are probably some mad, mutated hybrid of various races. Right now I'm not entirely sure on what exactly I am, though I'm pretty positive there's English and Dutch but since neither accounts for my olive skin tone and people are always assuming Mediterranean I'm seriously considering DNA testing. Also because I think it'd be awesome. Most places though advertise their services as expanding your family tree and finding distant cousins and frankly, I don't give a shit about that. I just want the geographic and ethnic background information.

Regardless while I'm sure not everyone knows it to the full extent you at least know some of your partial genealogy.

The Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger

Quote:

Admittedly, the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger (KKC) sounds atrocious to just about everyone who hasn't tried one. The doughnut is halved, then its cut sides are grilled and become the outside of the sandwich so that the sugary glaze makes mortal contact with the cheese and the meat.

Even if that sounds good, there are all kinds of objections from the eat-healthy crowd.

Nevertheless, the sweet 'n salty combination seems to be attracting a growing number of fans.

The KKC appeared at a Massachusetts fair in 2009 and is a feature at this year's Wisconsin State Fair, which ended Sunday, and Kentucky's state fair, which begins Thursday. [Editor's note: This sentence was changed to reflect the start date of Kentucky's state fair.]

The Machine Shed, a restaurant with a food concession at the Wisconsin State Fair, told the Milwaukee Journal it expected to sell about 3,500 Krispy Kreme cheeseburgers over the first three days of the fair. About a quarter of its customers were pitching in an extra buck for the side order of chocolate-covered bacon.

Sounds ridiculously bad yet I have a sick fascination with trying one. Too bad I missed the Kentucky State Fair :(

I now understand the appeal of both of these places.

Los Angeles is one awesome city - Venice Beach, Griffith Park, Downtown, and Hollywood were all fantastic. Venice Beach in particular was an eye opening experience. I've never seen so many crazy and interesting people in one area. I wanted to spend more time there but I only had about a week here.

Las Vegas was a trip. I was there for two days, played a ton of slots, poker, and roulette, and spent 4 hours at a strip club. I had FFF boobs attached to a 5'7", 110 pound, lightly tanned, smoking hot brunette (who wore a fedora at times - hot) rubbing on my face and crotch and yes the money was worth it.

I want to go again and I'm leaving tomorrow to Massachusetts ;_;

I shaved my armpits today

Lost Epilogue

Mister Pikey — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 14:12:20 GMT

So they decided to release this 12 min epilogue......

Try not to read anything and just scroll to the vid

http://c0up.posterous.com/lost-seaso...-man-in-charge

.....and it was pretty awful. Everything they have attempted since the start of the sixth season progressively made he hate the show more. The writing in this is so tongue in cheek, it's just damaging to what was already just ok. Fuck Lost.

Who's threads are must reads and who's do you skip?

RuffDraft — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 07:27:58 GMT

I'm always interested in a moose thread. As well as seenew and ilp for some reason. I skip Yuna threads. It usually is just a bunch of inside jokes you guys share with her from skype or some shit.

Oh the irony

CancerVssuicide — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 05:33:54 GMT

some shitty photos of my D&D miniatures I painted. Maybe seenew can give me tips on how to take better pictures of 1 1/2" figures.

nude/topless cleaning

Chris — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 04:00:44 GMT

okay, so I check the gigs section of craigslist very regularly, like twice a day. last week there was a guy who posted that he was looking for a girl to come clean his condo on the beach either topless or nude and he'd be willing to pay several hundred for weekly cleaning. he used a lot of 'lols' in his post and I thought it was pretty hilarious to envision Rudy having posted this.

but this week two other people have made similar offers.

and now there is a guy asking for girls to come work for him and his nude/topless cleaning business! He supplies drivers/escorts who will make sure the girl is never alone with a client. So he's basically pimping.

has anyone else noticed this popping up on craigslist in their area? reminds me of more than a few pornos.

ceelo - fuck you

No, but really, I had never heard of this movie. It's by David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) from 1997, and it's really good.

with the bubbleman board it was some ground-breakin shit that provoked all the old grandmas and grandpas, got a lot of hate and a lot of hype, set some new rules for the game

after that, tried to keep that thing alive but it was just an imitation

now it's just like, living in the villa, finished with the hard sex drugs n rock n roll life, taking it easy, releasing some new stuff that no one really cares about, but everyone thinks it's comforting they're still around

basically bob dylan/rolling stones / bruce springsteen

Andy (aka Jawa) is officially published. He's on contract with Slave Labor Graphics to illustrate the 5 issue Royal Historian of Oz, which is being written by Tommy Kovac. The first issue is only $1, not sure how much the others are at your local shops, but look for them. Also available on mobile devices through comixology and panelfly.

He's pretty fucking good at what he does.

Dish network v. DirecTV

Zyandrious — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 00:23:18 GMT

Myself and my roommates are going to be moving into a new house at the end of the month. We are planning on cancelling our Comcast and getting satellite. I have a couple concerns:

1. Does DirecTV offer 1 year agreements? From what I've found thats a neg, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure so I don't have to call them. I need a one year agreement.

2. Is Dish network any worse than DirecTV?

If anyone has either, what do you think of what you have? It would be a lot of help. At this point, I am leaning towards Dish because it is cheaper and has 1 year agreements, but I would prefer to have DirecTV. Any input will help.

Planetes

Chris — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:33:01 GMT

I don't watch a lot of anime, but a friend told me I might really like this, and I did.
Has anyone seen it? It's about space in the near future (2076) and a crew of debris haulers who clean up orbiting space debris around Earth.

Anyway, if you have seen it, do you have any recommendations of other shows to watch? Other anime I've watched and liked is Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, and FLCL. I'm trying to think of others but I don't think there are any.

In the news today, yesterday....and tomorrow.

reign — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 19:32:08 GMT

what do you guys use for news these days? i'm a reddit guy myself. stumbled upon foreignpolicy the other day and i'm diggin' it so far..looking for other blogs/portals to check out.

i'll kick things off with some astronomy news;

Quote:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/...wish-list.html

A $1.6 billion 'Swiss-army knife' telescope that would study dark energy, hunt for Earth-like planets, and scrutinise stars and galaxies should be NASA's top space telescope priority in the coming decade, an expert panel says.

The recommendation comes from the US National Research Council. Every ten years, US science agencies task the organisation with canvassing the astronomical community and identifying the top research priorities. The final report of this decadal survey is the distillation of two years of work, 17 town hall meetings, and 324 papers submitted on future science opportunities.

The space mission that ranked highest is a telescope called Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), a 1.5-metre probe that would launch in 2020 and orbit a stable gravitational point about 1.5 million kilometres from Earth.

Like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which will be sent to the same spot in 2014, WFIRST would be sensitive to infrared light. But the telescope would have a wider field of view, allowing it to take in large patches of the sky.

It would study dark energy, which seems to make up more than 70 per cent of the combined matter and energy of the universe and is causing the expansion of space to speed up; survey the galaxy's exoplanets; and work as a general-purpose instrument to investigate topics such as the structure of the Milky Way. "It's one set of hardware that can do three sets of observing jobs," says Marcia Rieke of the University of Arizona in Tucson, one of the committee's vice-chairs.

Going to visit Quebec

SquarePeg — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 14:53:36 GMT

So I'll be up visiting Montreal and Quebec City in early September. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be meeting up with any of you, as I'll be traveling with a couple friends and don't want to explain, "I'm gonna meet up wid these guyz I've been talking with online for lik 8 years lol!" But I will take suggestions of things to see and do. On my short list right now: walk Old Quebec; poutine; Montreal strip club. What else?

I'm madly in love guys...

i ve watched nearly 3 seasons thus far. holy shi the first 2 seasons were some of theb est tv of the 2000's. i hope it doesnt start getting crappy.

also dark reign, i really dont know when i ll be down that way to be honest. i dont drink anymore really so it would kind of suck for you. ive smoked nearly a quarter in 2 days though....i gotta get off the weed.

here is a tip too for an extra buzz reigh, put a little bit of tobacco in your bowl, joint w/e and get ready for your head to spin!

how old were you?

IamEmo — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 01:03:53 GMT

how old were you when you first drank, smoked a cigarette, had sex, did an illegal drug, blah, blah, blah?

First beer was when I was 12.
First (and only) cigarette at 14.
Sex at 15.
Smoked marijuana at 16.
Took alot of Xanax for the first time at 15.
That's all I can think of.

so i read and finished a few books...

mooseheadgreen — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 00:13:36 GMT

imperial bedrooms- i finished this in about 4 or 5 hours. at first i didnt like it very much , especially while I was reading it. Now I realize and enjoy the ballsy character changes made. They were also probably realistic. not as good as the original but still pretty good and entertaining. 3.5/5

ulysses- i never understood the hype about this for a long time. it took about 2 months and was more of a side reading until i focused on it and read 400 pages in a few days. Holy shit what a tour de force. every different episode is just insanely incredible and literature changing that it is hard to pick just one. The last 2 episodes were amazing though. what a fucking book. I just cant believe ive read this. it has just changed so much. have any of you guys even read this?

America Is Dying

MetaLF0rce — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 04:48:18 GMT

Country is going to the Stone Age and Hell. High schools are considering eliminating the 12th grade or making it optional, schools in Detroit teaching kids how to be Wal-Mart employees, paved roads being torn up, wages not increasing in years and slipping, companies raping their own employees and free interests, two wars dragging on as the longest in its history, beyond corrupt government officials, etc.

For fucks sake they can't even give the famalies who lost their family members in 9/11 an extra paycheck to get by. The amount of fucking backwards rednecks and bigots against that mosque in NYC is beyond depressing. Watching an empire collapse in on itself.

Fuck.

Flight Attendant Quits Job In Style

Chris — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:02:21 GMT

Quote:

Steven Slater, seen here stroking a flying phallus, is a 20-year veteran of flight attendant-ry who just couldn't take it anymore. So what did he do? What any self-respecting attendant of the skies would: jumped out of a moving plane.

Quote:

One passenger stood up to fetch belongings from the overhead compartment before the crew had given permission. Mr. Slater instructed the person to remain seated. The passenger defied him. Mr. Slater approached and reached the passenger just as the person pulled down the luggage, which struck Mr. Slater in the head.

Mr. Slater asked for an apology. The passenger instead cursed at him. Mr. Slater got on the plane's public address system and cursed out the passenger.

Then, the authorities said, he pulled the lever that activates the emergency-evacuation chute and slid down, making a dramatic exit not only from the plane but, one imagines, also from his airline career.

On his way out the door, he paused to grab a beer from the beverage cart. Then he ran to the employee parking lot and drove off, the authorities said.

YES! Now THAT is how you quit a job. Pfft, and I thought dipping my manager's hand in a deep fryer was good. You, sir, have taught me a thing or two about terminating employment. Beer, that's what I was missing.
