  1. I'm the same way now... :/ But are they still going to make PowerBook executables for much longer?
  2. Monster Cable is the biggest rip off company I can think of. It's for people who don't know anything and salesmen at Best Buy can trick them into buying it.
  3. You are an idiot for buying a Monster Cable product.
  4. I have a Macbook. 2 ghz Core2Duo, 1 gb RAM, and some onboard intel graphics crap.
  5. Should have ordered the Large Farva.
  6. I've been busy as hell with all these flocking small group assignments. We've had so many of these things I haven't even had time to study so I'm 2 weeks behind now. Blurgh.
  7. Jesus how hard did he punch him to have it permanently shattered on a knee?
  8. No I would not. Smoking is a very unhealthy habit.
  9. What if this game becomes the Commando of games? That would be awesome.
  10. Melatonin is one of those good supplements. It seems to have little to no side effects. Melatonin agonists are one of the main focuses for the next generation of sleep medicines. But yeah, one of the main circadian rhythm problems is an offsetting because of the light differences causing an imbalance in melatonin and serotonin. None of the current RLS drugs use melatonin. Aahh ok. I have no clue what that is but if a leg bounces really fast without knowledge of doing it then that's not good either. Unless your bouncing along to music then it's OK because I do it all the time. I do it in class too and I keep my right leg propped on my left so everyone behind me can see my right foot just bouncing along all class. But yeah, you can't really trust people's opinion on what they have. I think I have schizoid personality disorder but if I go through a mental status exam I doubt I will be diagnosed with one. Asperger's is another thing I see people like to self diagnose themselves with on the Internet. Kind of gives them a reason to be an asshole who doesn't get people. But yeah, a lot of people will claim to have this kind of crap for attention.
  11. OCD is most definitely a real psychiatric disorder. Just because we don't understand them completely doesn't mean they don't exist or are any less of a real disorder. Same goes for ADD and ADHD. There is an underlying neurophysiological basis for them. The nervous system is a highly highly highly complex system so neurotransmitter and hormone imbalances (which most neurological diseases are) aren't the easiest things to study. What makes it worse is that you can't really have a diagnostic test for these problems like an HIV test so all diagnoses are clinical and based on the history. It's all very complex. However, that doesn't mean these diseases are genetically based so they could be (and are) developmental so they could have happened due to poor parenting. Like Cinder said, poor stimulation as a child can lead to these kind of problems. ADHD is also fairly overdiagnosed I think. Doctors diagnose kids with this in a single short visit but I don't think that's the right way to do it. But then again, I'm being fed by the same people that people who don't believe in these disorders distrust so I'm fairly biased. RLS is thought to be a circadian pattern disorder and most people who say they have this (RLS is a patient reported syndrome) also have periodic limb movement disorder or nocturnal myoclonus. Whether it is it's own syndrome or not or if it's just a manifestation of another problem during sleep I don't know. But there is medicine for these things and that means CA-CHING which is really all that matters in the end! I wish I had the time and knowledge to actually discuss these topics in depth but I don't have time and I don't really enjoy neuro enough to spend extra time studying it.
  12. The large majority of the Wiis 3rd party games are PS2 games given a little waggle control. A good bulk of the Wii market is not core gamers who go out and buy a bunch of new games.
  13. This seems to be the general consensus amongst people I know. The only reason they break it out is to play Wii Bowling drinking games.
  14. I was sick since Thursday night. So I didn't study at all till I got better today. I am horribly behind. But I did play some Civ 4: BtS on Saturday which was great. How was your weekend, Fatal?
  15. Don't let this keep the debate from dying down. Debate with passion.
  16. Welcome back. What ever happened with your disease thing when you thought you were going to die? Nice to know things are going well. Killer PC. I don't know how long it will be till I have a chance to upgrade again.
  17. People will buy it anyway without the trailer just because of 50 Cent. The first 50 Cent game sold over a million copies despite it being completely asstastic.
  18. Too bad the actual game will probably suck balls. But if you are going to make a game completely over the top, this is the way to do it. If you haven't been following this game, here is a brief synopsis of the award winning plot: high res link: http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/1424259...OTS_042408.html
  19. That's somewhere in the middle of my netflix queue right now. I think I'm going to move it up to the top since I want to see a comedy.
  20. Grabbag - Duke Nukem theme Anything by Jesper Kyd (he does the music for the Hitman games) Quake II soundtrack Anything for Valve games
  21. I think we should implement a rule that if you're going to change your name you have to announce it first so there is no confusion. Or in your sig put: Formerly knowns as: GYANTE PHAGGOTE
