This Anyway, I work 3rd shift. My sleep schedule is absolutely fucked! Sometimes I get tired after I been up a bit after I already slept 6-7 hours. I'll sometimes doze off while playing something for instance. I think this is because I don't go to bed at the same times. Sometimes I go to bed as soon as I get home, just after 7 am. I don't have insomnia though, I sleep too much now. But yea... exercise... Tire out your body. That should work. If your out of steam, it easy to slip off.

Congratulations on the gig, and on the ass whoopin'. Hopefully this scenario doesn't go hand and hand.

Well, I don't know about the gel hair and all... but alot of what you mention here is true. Not being conceded, but still being comfortable in your skin is THE way. I hate people who think their the shit. 'Cause they usually arent. It's that whole bad attitude bullshit. Anyway... we need to post hot chicks! Rose Mcgowan... I'll forgive her for being with Manson.

Well, why indeed date someone who isnt attractive. You have to be attracted to someone to be with them at any level. But as for supermodels... ( although some are ugly as shit ) Alot of super fine girls don't get hit on too often because they're too fine and guys are just intimidated. If you have good social skills and can hold a conversation, take care of yourself and arent an ass, you have a good chance of holding their interests for conversation. If you are naturally funny and arent one of those... people who force shit out, then you have a better chance. I flip through alot of those tabloid magazines as I work at 7-11 for the time being, and 3rd shift can get boring, and I see alot of hot women with guys who don't look half as good as I do, and I'm just ok lookin'. Anyway, Id rather have a girl who doesn't fuck around and play head games and do stupid shit. Of course she'll be attractive, how can one be someone unattractive to them? It's all about preference, and I like cute looking girls, and not high maintenance. But I'm talkin' about dating, as I'm not one for just sex... typically. anyway... Hair kinda sux but whatever.

A 360 pad isnt enough to play it proper. If you don't use joysticks youll need a decent dpad and 360's suck. Id rather use a SNES controller. But this is better than 360 Dpad, and cheaper. I bought two for my fighting game roms and Super Metroid Redesign. Logitech Gamepad $10.00 or 6.31 Pounds Hopefully you can get these easily over there/

But that only makes sense... I, a white man, cant tell you what its like to be black. GC... your putting the " pussy on a pedestal " Everyone is different, so what 1 girl thinks is pointless in that regard. That girl might like a guy who makes her laugh, while the next may like skinny dudes that wear girls jeans. BTW awesome addition to the thread...

I like Hoop snake bites, I think their hot. But I don't really like anything else.

And you called us Trolls. heh. Your rebuttals make no sense. Its not the eyes or the skin color by the way, its the fact that ALL of her skin doesn't (appear) to reflect the light as skin normally does. It appears she has makeup all over herself. It seems as if you think, I for one, think shes is a mannequin due to the color of her skin... as if I have never seen someone with that skin tone. Anyway who the fuck cares? Shut the fuck up and post somemore hot chicks damn it! Morgan Webb Why... are her fingertips dark orange???

Did you not read any of the posts? How can you ask a question like that? Trolls... Spamming... HA! How does half black explain how she looks like a mannequin? The same way it explains why you think she's a mannequin? That makes no sense This ^... or alot of makeup like Hera said Wow she actually looks cute here. I was never a monroe fan, but this is nice. Stop the flames for a second, I wanna know how this ^ happened. She still has a relatively thin, and cute face. It's like she directed the fat downwards with the power of her mind. No... she is squeezing the fat down see? No I actually think her panties were cut and she is holding them on, how else would she get them past those.... id say hips but... how about flesh mountain. Well that and she is holding her fat down to even further accentuate here bizarre physique. So onward... I know the flow was going one way... but im submitting a couple of girls I always thought were hot. Kristen Bell And Ali Larter They were not enough to make the show any better though...

Did you not read any of the posts? How can you ask a question like that? Trolls... Spamming... HA! How does half black explain how she looks like a mannequin?

Ummm... shit! Pressing charges... That chick crossed the line. Pressing charges might not teach her any lessons other than you are not going to roll over, but from the sound of it, she might do stupid shit like slash your tires or worse to get back. If you dont, you might be showing her you wont do shit. As for the situation as a whole... fucking hell. What the fuck is wrong with people... thats my official statement.

Wow she is hella cute! OMG Id freaking destroy her!!! Dude I think your right! I was gonna make a comment on her wearing blue contacts... but then I saw your comment.

Oh yes I intend to! I just bought a used wired controller from Game Stop. Apparently Microsoft no longer makes them so all you will likely find new is 3rd party. I wanted the original controller because of the Guide button... I am mounting that bitch right on the stick. The 3rd party version looks like shit. I may also be replacing the LED to blue... yes blue. Im wondering how itll look in person as the plastic is greenish. But I've seen the pics. Blue to match the cushion and buttons.

Yea Ill definitely practice up on soldering. That is gonna be the clincher. As for getting angry, I do tend to have a short fuse when it's something I directly control... so if something should go wrong I'll likely be swearing lol. I picked up more cardboard from work and will be making mock ups real real soon. More later.

Well I don't have the right tools, but I'll borrow them or rent them or buy them if I have to. As for design... I'll do what works. I'm not sold on angling... but its a design premise I am looking into. I have some cardboard here and I'll get more... basically I'm going to be making mock ups to see how certain things work. As for the case itself, it's gonna be decently sized. I'm a big guy so for the smaller guys, it might feel too big. My hands swallow up every game pad but the 'ole Duke... first gen regular Xbox controller. I'll find the position Im most comfortable with when using a joystick on my lap. I'm not much of an indian style guy, and I always sit on the couch... so no reclining. I think a slight tilt forward might be good, but until I analyze every aspect of my ideas............... I've already bought the wood. Poplar. Lol it wasn't cheap either. Why... did I but wood this good and not plywood? Because... It's got to be good. I'm not overly concerned about fucking this project up, as I am quite good with my hands. I was a carpenter for a couple of years and learned a few thing in that field, and I worked hardware for over 3. I have a good deal of projects I had a hand in so I've seen a good deal of things... Hell I have broken so many things too... (combustion hands) LOL I know the ins and outs. But I'll be working on the design for a bit , and make models to get the measurements dead on. The cushion im putting on the bottom is going to be made of this royal blue crushed velvet looking stuff, it's pretty badass. I'm gonna look into those buttons Inky and see what I can do, but if I can, the crushed velvet is going IN the buttons! or... Hmmm if it looks right. Otherwise something of the same color range. This is my baby... I'm going for straight awesomeness. I know most will say don't start big... but fuck it. I got this.

Hmm looking at the JLF all dismantled... I believe I can install the microswitches. The silent ones are the same width but I was just pondering all aspects before. I cut the originals free and mount the replacements on the board. Ill need more tools though... like a dremmel to cut them free... unless I can melt the solder from the other end and pull them free. Who knows... I, of course, will me doing more research on this. Well I have been looking at custom sticks posted on Shoryuken, specifically this thread here. Looking at various case designs. From what I can tell, my specifications are pretty unique. Well certain things are rare at least, while others have not been seen by me. Although I have seen some that have made me consider even more design possibilities.

Most excellent. Scott and I could make absolute elite sticks. Shit we could make a $ of selling! But yea, I'll list all the resources I have attained so far in a bit. Shiiit... Make one for your emulators. I think that was what he was referring to but with paint... But those clear buttons... I was thinking just that after I posted the thread and on my way to work. Well see.

Well I have decided to build my own joystick. Basically because I dont like the layout of the buttons on most joysticks out there. And anything under $100 needs replacement of joystick and pushbuttons anyway. They dont use Sanwa or Seimitsu... Why the fuck not, their cheap enough. Pay the damn money to use the quality parts and have a better product! I'm new to this. I am a console guy, and never got much practice using a stick in the arcade versions of fighting games. Well now I have a 360 and the controller does indeed suck balls. On top of the motion control, Id like to have all my buttons of the face... so obviously a joystick is needed here. I want to make the best joystick I can. I don't want to make something adequate, I want the BEST. First off, I've noticed the clicking sound micro switches make on the joysticks. I hate this. It's so annoying! Well I did some research and found adjustable microswitches from Versa-Micro. Groovy Game Gear.com You can adjust these to silent mode. Other than this, the only other silent switches I've seen is leaf. But from what I understand, there not quite perfect for fighting games. Well If I buy these, I'll need to buy a joystick that doesn't have the microswitches on a PCB. What I found was Sanwa's JLW series... this is JLW-TM-8 Lizard lick is pretty cool. Nice guys too. They also have the UM which is the bat instead of the ball, but I believe I'll go with the ball. Problem is, it doesn't appear they make an octagon gate for the JLW series. I guess I can buy a gate, and customize it, but Id rather not. As for the push buttons, Im thinking of going with Seimitsu PS-14-GN as Sanwa doesnt have screw mounts in black. They have non clicking microswitches and thats what I want. Neither companies seem to carry Blue in the royal color range. All they got in blue is that silly sky blue shit. As for wiring... I see alot of crazy shit going on like this This is a wireless controller, so my soldering will be slightly different that what you see here. But I gotta get some practice in on soldering. I've never done it before... But I'm sure I can manage. There is a great resource page I found. Slagcoin.com In which I found this chart Well as you see the deflection on the JLW is low... but the tension is high. I dont want a stiff joystick, so I was thinking about switching out the spring. If I do that I think it will raise the level of deflection though, as the spring wont stop the arm as much springing in the opposite direction if I let go from full throw. So... I want an Octagon gate. Circle is available for the JLW, which would be fine. I'm sure I can get to the level where I pull off everything perfectly without having that lock in feeling the octagon gives you. (dragon punches and the like) I'm still trying to figure out if there is another joystick without a the pcb mounted microswitches. that has the octagon gate available. This all of course is from the knowledge, that the silent microswitches are my only option. I don't know of a silent joystick otherwise. Also, I noticed the throw range is far on the JLW. I wonder how this will effect my playstyle The face of my joystick will be tilted slightly forward so it isnt flat on my lap. Also I'm going to make the bottom corners where my wrists lie at 45 degrees so its more comfortable. It will also have a cushion on the bottom as it will be on my lap all the time. No need for rubber feet. Im going all out. So... I'll be researching more no doubt, perhaps even joining other forums to ask general questions, but I want to know what some of you think. What do you like or dislike, what do you prefer in your joysticks.

Well if this proves to be true, I'll see no reason for me to buy the one thats out already. Whatever the case, well see how it goes.

Thats great!

She looks good in this pic. She is probably the best Leia I have ever seen. Im more for Chun Li... At least it's not Cham Cham Cute girls... but still, those paws... wtf

What... Thats Munn... you silly bastard. Here... time for reeducation. Now you cannot say than about Olivia Munn... Ok... I'm sorry I had to do that... perhaps this is more your style???

I had to quit... Yea I heard that customer service edit portion... Lol I hate how they obsessively looked at the que card to our right. Yea that was fantastically lame, which is equivalent to the lameness of a microsoft 7 launch party... huh, imagine that. I hope someone ruins this "party" And I thought I had no life playing 360 all the time... heh

Thats quite alright. But the actual shape of the box is similar to what I want to build. 45 degree edges where the arms touch the box. Anyway, I played some games with my new X31. I like it. I could write a review about it... but suffice to say it gets the job done.

So I picked up the Turtle Beach Earforce X31 Picked them up for $90 on sale at Best Buy. Well... I read reviews about it, someone said it was worth it if you don't mind it's flimsiness. I know now what they mean... the parts are hollow plastic and thin. For $100 I did indeed expect something more substantial. Functionwise I have yet to fully test them, as I only played one game... which is louder than most. I want to see if i notice the fuzz sound when I play at a louder volume. Anyway... you can hear detail much better as the stereo is right in your headpiece... (skull) So its much easier noticing small things like approaching footsteps and things like that. You actually notice stereo effects that you may not through regular stereo. I don't have surround sound... so there isnt any loss here. They have X41 which is ridiculous... there are multiple speakers for full surround from mere headphones... Quite awesome, but I didn't want to drop $200 on some headphones... ya know. I wont complain about the fabric used on the headphones... but I wish it was that soft leather stuff they used for the saddle. Bose uses something like that... but I wonder if they decided on that cause of sweat issues or something. I can definitely see how they make their profit. Great sound but less than perfect construction. Well they have great sound so far, but until I fully test them... I won't stand by that yet. Although everyone raves about them. Im sure their great, I just wanna see for myself.
