I feel that nobody likes me, because my posts seem to get little response, if any at all. Perhaps they are not interesting. So.. anyone have any advice, on how I can become a better, more interesting poster on the Gamercide forums? I would like to contribute more to the forums, but not sure how exactly.

I figured everyone needs a place to learn all the things GG decides to throw out during streams. So this is the perfect place for anyone to plant any GG based things they here GG saying while Live, such as If you run naked backwards through a cornfield the corn will go up your butt. I figure this will help new people joining the livestreams to not be afraid if they hear GG letting out his true GG self.

I've had my laptop for 4 days and already I have come down with a nasty virus/trojan/something. I have NO Clue where I got it, as I haven't gone anywhere I've never been before. Malware bytes keeps finding **** (5 to 6) a day and removes them but the virus is still there. (It's redirected all my webpages to porn and other nasties) I got malware, it's failed, norton has failed, and I'm about to try kaspersky. Other suggestions?

The project, known as MetaPhone, works like this: The researchers are asking willing participants to install an app on their Android phones that will transmit basic metadata from their telephone. The researchers will try to deduce as much information as possible from that data, presumably in the same fashion as the NSA. In order to find out whether their deductions are accurate, the team is also asking participants to provide basic information from their Facebook pages. “Our hypothesis is that phone metadata is packed with meaning,” Mayer said.

Introducing our new game called: “Don’t Be A Di*k During Meals With Friends.” The first person to crack and look at their phone picks up the check. Our (initial) purpose of the game was to get everyone off the phones free from twitter/fb/texting and to encourage conversations. Rules: 1) The game starts after everyone has ordered. 2) Everybody places their phone on the table face down. 3) The first person to flip over their phone loses the game. 4) Loser of the game pays for the bill. 5) If the bill comes before anyone has flipped over their phone everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal. Variations/house rules: -Starting the game after everyone is seated…

I don't need it this very second... however its seems like a pretty damn good deal. Go for it or wait?

Very strange. Tupac shrines, rare German ammo etc. Man.

Well, about 2 months ago, my family had to put down our pet cat of 16 years, Missy. She was part of our family my entire life, so obviously it was a big loss. Today, we finally found the kind of kitten we'd been looking for. A female Russian Blue. We decided to name her Chloe. This is random, but I'm just really excited and felt the need to post it. Haha.

Wife got a new pup yesterday. Her name is Lucy. She's a Pomeranian and Shih tzu mix. 2 months old and weighs in at a WHOPPING 2 lbs. http://s1333.photobucket.com/user/spawn62279/slideshow/Lucy

So I've finally moved out to my new room and have it all mostly set up. It's a guest house outside of the main house. The main benefit is I'll now be able to use microphone and do whatever gaming and streaming-wise at night. I'd like to do more co-op now, things like GTA IV or Red Dead Redemption gatherings if we ever do something like that again. Here are some giant 8MP webcam pics I took of the room lol. It's still a bit of a mess and I need to find some more places to put things away, but it's definitely a lot nicer than my smaller room inside the house. More space for sure.

So far we have 3 people signed up for this years Fantasy Football Competition. Myself and Mr. and Mrs. TC ...... they're pretty good but the thing about FF is you don't need to be an expert to have fun, or even win..... First we need to fill in five more seats, then if there's more we can accomodate. After that we can set the draft date.

So I just made the move from IE to FF. Only complaint is I can't access Windows Live Mail 2011 from the browser and have to go through IM to get it. Anyone know of alternatives like icon in IE to access Live Mail 2011?

I am now posting from this beast as my primary "monitor". I love it. All those days of sore feet are now paying off. I only had to wait for my Walmart associate 10% discount card before nabbing the thing (took out the massive tax and then some). I'd post pics if I had a way to take them, but the old camera doesn't work anymore and phone pics are junk (plus I don't know how to upload them. Never bothered spending much time messing with phone stuff.)

TAKE THAT CANCER

Mine is to... - finish my final semester with straight A's - blog more - game more on my DS and PSP - tweet more - buy a PS3! - go to E3 and Comic-Con - stuff my face with cookies (snickerdoodles are my fav) and see how much weight I can lose at the same time. Your turn. P.S. I'll be online gaming (unless I pass out) after the New Year festivities if anyone would like to join me. I don't drink generally (I think I have only gotten drunk twice from this past year) and I don't talk online, but alcohol magically changes that and since it is an occasion, why not celebrate!

Near Years Eve is right around the corner. Looks like we survived the end of the world after all. Everyone be safe and take it easy, if you wind up in an emergency room someone like me will be tweeting about what a piece of shit you are. Hooray~

We all make them, let's hear them.

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been up yet. So, let's hear them. Whether you made them or already broke them. For myself I made the goal of finishing a rough draft of the novel I've been working on. Save up some money to fly home to AZ for a weekend Pay off all the debt I owe to various people. Make a real attempt to get back into school this fall.

Getting it next Friday. I decided that it's time to let the healing begin and move on. I wanted it done on October 15th because that is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, but my tattoo guy has a cubscout thing going on. So...Friday it is!

Sorry for making you a girl Wonk. LOL It's getting old slapping Kitty and Mandy in there all the time, plus the face you posted is just too cool/creepy to NOT use. <div style='background-color:#e9e9e9; width: 425px;'><object id='A64060' quality='high' data='http://aka.zero.jibjab.com/client/zero/ClientZero_EmbedViewer.swf?external_make_id=hiXwCqk6lBwGcHfs&service=sendables.jibjab.com&partnerID=JibJab' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' height='319' width='425'><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><param name='movie' value='http://aka.zero.jibja…

No one had any interesting pranks pulled on them today, or notice any particularly entertaining ones online? My whole crew at work today had me convinced there was a manager conspiracy to get me fired. Really had me going for a bit, forgot what day it was. Plus a lot of our managers are jerks anyway so it wouldn't have surprised me.
