Happy birthday to BOTH of you! Kind of weird that Pan's birthday showed up mysteriously though. Wasn't listed there this morning. LoL

Happy Birthday Siren!!!!! Hope you are doing awesome. We miss you around these parts!

In some unexciting news today, an official announcement was made by MTV that stated that MTV Games is done making video games after Harmonix was bought by Harmonix in December of 2010. A rep stated to GameSpot stated that “MTV Games has ceased its publishing operations but has not been completely dissolved,” and only a small crew remains in New York for the time being. With that earth shattering announcement, we can now all get back to work. via GameSpot View the full article

I'm a VERY sad panda at the moment. First off, I'm pretty broke right now. Thankfully the wife starts her new job next week but won't start getting paid till the end of July, so I can wait, but it still sucks. I bought a 52" Sony rear-projection TV about eight years ago now. I got it brand new direct from Sony at a great price at the time (about $800). It's been a champ, it really has. Never had a single problem with it. Well, for the past year or so it's definitely been on its last legs. The screen has progressively been getting pretty blurry but it's been totally usable. Coy just called me and told me that the TV totally died. Well, not TOTALLY, but half the scre…

No, it's not a person, it was my beloved miniature dachshund Madeline. She was almost 15 years old and this was her last summer outside my house hanging out in the sun like she loved. This is her story.... I found Madeline (or I should say she found me) back in 2003 if I remember correctly. Back when I was still with Coy (my ex wife), we wanted a dog had answered a newspaper ad for Jack Russell terrier puppies. We drove way out into the boonies and to this day I remember clearly how crazy far out it was, the feeling I had pulling into the dirt road driveway, getting out of the car and seeing just how miserable this place was. There were a burnt down…

Starts out fine... go work on campus for 2 hours... go to class... then go out to have lunch with a friend... Then this happens... Ya... that is the front end of my car. The lovely dent appeared in the front after contact with this... Safe to say there when my lunch plans... instead of calling for takeout... I called the police (I'm not letting that much damage go unreported). I later find out the driver that I hit was driving across the street across three lanes of traffic. He was trying to get from one gas station driveway to another. There were no cars coming westbound and the guy in the turn lane next to me waved the guy on without my knowledge, and safe to say... t…

Some assface got access to my grafxbypatton email, and is now spamming my entire contacts list. If you get an email from me, don't even open it. Just delete it. Sorry.

Massive heart attack. We were in the car together, I was just taking her Christmas shopping. I haven't slept, still drinking. I don't even know what to say. I got her to the hospital so fast and they couldn't save her. We were supposed to get married in may. I'm dying right now

What's wrong with my gamertag it just says the site is down, it has been that way the past 3 days. I figured it would go back to normal but when I went to the site and typed in my name it says it's a new name and I have to wait.

Well, you've heard of the recent disaster with the flooding and the death (well no death) and the no room. Well, I hooked up the gaming PC and I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is it works! The bad news is I'm in the middle of the living room on a poker table with a plant in front of me. Oh well. It works! =]

So I finally got my beastly new system yesterday. Here are the full specs: http://www.ibuypower...aspx?eid=122969 So far I've been able to play Just Cause 2 at max settings at a 1920x1080 resolution at 45 frames per second. It's... beautiful. :') Here are some images. The next thing I need to get is a nice chair, and eventually a new desk. Also a UPS (Uninterrubtable Power Supply) would be good. This monster makes my Xbox and Wii look pitiful. I barely even have space for it, so this setup is mostly temporary. Being very sick, with a bad headache, painfully sore throat, and lack of energy, has exacerbated my lethargy so I haven't bothered cleaning up, there's just …

I'm so busy these days I completely forgot to share baby stuff with you guys. He is actually two months now.

Okay .. so you know that I pull no punches when it comes to critiques, well now I guess it's pay back time. Over the past few weeks I have been taking an entry level course in Adobe Flash at SVA and our final project is to have an actual working website built entirely in Flash. And .. well .. here it is. I'm not a designer and I really hate web design but I need to have an online presence these days to help find a job. I wanted to keep it simple, basic and easy to navigate. It's more of a portal for what I want (and like) to do. I have some of my Stop Motion up, a few things with After Effects (mostly green screen removal) and some of my SPX Make Up. Plus two pages with n…

lol one look at the forum and I'm sure you've already come to this conclusion. http://www.mygamercard.net/ Wow, that really sucks. Definitely a service I took for granted.

If you haven't heard about this 'recent' mystery of birds dying off, black bird or otherwise, check out Google. Here's an example - http://www.google.com/search?q=million+dead+blackbirds&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a t’s absolutely shocking news: The U.S. Department of Agriculture has publicly admitted it is responsible for the mass poisoning of tens of millions of birds over the last several years. It’s all part of the USDA’s program called “Bye Bye Blackbird,” and we even have the USDA’s spreadsheet where they document how many millions of birds (and other animals) they’ve poisoned to death. Definitely read on…

http://news.yahoo.com/s/digitaltrends/nasascientistfindsevidenceofalienlife "“The exciting thing is that they are in many cases recognizable and can be associated very closely with the generic species here on earth,” said Hoover. Some of the fossils, however, are quite odd. “There are some that are just very strange and don’t look like anything that I’ve been able to identify, and I’ve shown them to many other experts that have also come up stump.”" “Given the controversial nature of his discovery, we have invited 100 experts and have issued a general invitation to over 5,000 scientists from the scientific community to review the paper and to offer their critical analysi…

http://www.seattlepi.com/local/430430_super19.html Discuss. What do you think about this?

I suppose mine is kicking the bucket. It all started with that mess of a game Lgay noire. It constantly freezes on games, no rings or anything and everything else runs just fine. I even took out the hard drive to see if it was some sort of corrupt save. Anyways instead of being pissed for weeks I just need to get a new box. Any Suggestions? Something that comes with a good sized harddrive i have the min one that came out release which is like 20 or 16 or something small.

Alright so basically, I'm interning at a senate campaign in the communications department. They asked me to analyze this video that has gone viral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htX2usfqMEs. And honestly, I'm taking this internship to learn but I have no experience in this field at all. Does anyone know of a website with youtube stats and I can see where it has been linked or anything?

We've been given a handful of Magicka codes to giveaway. We'll be holding a trivia giveaway on justin.tv, as some of our guys broadcast the game live. Here's the sort of help we're looking for Show up this weekend in the Gamercide justin.tv channel. Even if you're not there, just hang out in the channel. You don't have to watch the gameplay. You can even pause the gameplay if you like. Invite everyone you know to the event. The more people that show up, the better for all of us. Help us pump this event up, and promote it as much as you can. There will be an announcement page on the main site you can link people to. When it's up, I'll link you via this thread. If you foll…

http://imgur.com/gallery/U8keS Found this on Imgur while trying to upload a picture to share with ya'll. From the ones that loaded for me, they looked pretty sweet. I think there is a thread on reddit about it, that is what the source linked to. [This may need to be moved to photos.]

i'm not sure what i rated to get these reccomendations.
