shyness is in the eyes of the beholder. really. think about it. Only you think you're shy. noone else knows it until you impose your skyness on others. If you like someone, tell em about it. You don't have to ask them out, just let them know. You know, take an interest in them. You don't even have to blatantly say "I LIKE YOU!!!!", just listen to their stories, tell them some of your own. Etc etc.You'll also notice it's much easier to talk to someone you're not interested. Like a fugly girl, or someone's mom... well, some people have fetishes like that... but i'm ignoring the exceptions. *ahem* So what I do is just imagine the girl i'm interested in is either taken or ugly. Someone I can usually talk to without a problem atol. This negates that feeling you get when they take a simple interest in you(or your story) and you take it as them coming on to you. It creates a buffer, if you will. Try that if all else fails.I dunno. I'm shy but it rarely affects me. All the good ones are taken aldready so I get to practice my come-ons on the fugly ones anyways.

I never really had a problem with them. Really, it's just our own humilty. If they're close, I smack them upside the head. I don't care, fvck the parents. If they can't handle the kids, I'll do something about it for them. If the kids are rows away, I get up, get right next to them and tell them strongly 'shut the hell up' just loud enough for them to hear but not their parents. Kids get scared easily by big guys. It's something people have somehow forgotten... that and the fear some @sshat parent will sue you for 'hitting' thier child. But most of the time I get thanked by other patrons after the movie. Like this old guy who said he'd've done it if I didn't. Oh, FYI, I only do something if the kid's a real *BLEEP*. Not like I'm smacking a kid for simply munching on his popcorn too loud, lol

I wouldn't mind all the psuedo-cinematics but they added that stupid 'grad the enemy's gun' minigame. So instead of bashing someone to the face, they will catch it and you have to click the right and left trigger rapidly to throw them off. That's retarded, IMO!

I guess it fits under 'adventure'. For those not familiar, or too young to remember this game, it was the origional text-based adventure game where you actually have to imagine the game GUI (oooo, shudder at the thought). I absolutely loved it. It was a great code, easy to manipulate on your own for personalized expansions and you didn't have to worry about beind able to bring up your sights to get a headshot on that Imp as you do in Doom and the like. Basically, the one I remember was where you start in an ally. you can say 'look left' and 'look up' etc to see what, if anything, is around you. Eventually you can come to a door, plain metallic (all the adjectives are given to you) and you have to find a way in. By looking around again, you find a keycard swipe box. (ok, so in hindsight, I guess this is strategy, but who cares? There were no such thing as game genres back then). But yea, it went on and on like this. Some versions were more dungeon-based. The one I played was more like a secret agent or something (too young to remember the story line exactly). But it was great. I wish someone would make a text-based game (if only for a school project) so I can play it again. Did i forget to mention I origionally played this on the old comadore? LOL. Yup. no mouse. fun times

M- mitchApparently, i'm a raging hormone-driven sexaholic. lol. awesome

Alone it sat,both day and night,to suffer alone,for someone's delight.Then it became angry,evil this way did come,that gerbil fought back,in the gay man's bum.

Diablo IIFirst game I actually boughtCreated a profile, had some huge characters, awesome itemsThen someone managed to hack my password and mule my stuff onto his characterNever found out whoHad to start from sratchback then, I actually thought people were respectible and nice. Turns out there are douchers everywhere

I think he did too much planning and failed once something didn't go according to his plan, lol. c'est la vie, n'est pas?

that doesn't matter in this case. Apple advertises it as a laptop but then declares it a notebook once you begin having heat issues? I don't care for that at all. Good discussion: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Pic of thermal goop: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

man, we were never after bin laden. It was just bush wanting another damn texan war. bush had hsi panties in a bunch and went all over the middle east on his own stupid jihad. buck fush!

ixBot, go hack somewhere else. noone likes hacks, especially hacks who can't win without hacks. loser

LibyaSearch and DestroyAlliesName: (_8(|)Main Weapon: EnfieldSecondary: Pistol(forgive me, it's been a while since I played COD2 and longer yet since I memorized the names of various locations in this map)I get an early position against a wall directly across from our spawn location right next to the hip-height wall. With my basic headphones, I can hear footsteps everywhere. Eventually, I hear the footsteps of an overeager German running towards me on my right. Just as he turns the corner to set up a gay spawn-kill position, I round the corner in a squat position and melee him in the balls. I let a teammate grab his MP40 since I was going for some easy rooftop snipe kills. Unfortuantely, that was the first kill me team had... and we were already down three people who ran too far up the road to the right of the spawnpoint.--jumping ahead--My team's down to the last two people (me and another) while the germans still have at least 7. I hear a sniper rifle go off and find myself alone, prone on a rooftop. I later find my teammate's dead body in the middle of a road... apparently he though going rambo-style would work.... :S Soon after he died, I heard the bomb being planted on the tank to the right of our spawnpoint. I figured it would be planted there since that was where half my team died in the opening battles. So I jump down form my rooftop observation, wrunning along the building walls back to my spawnpoint and up the right road. I round the corner a second too late and miss an easy kill on the planter but do see two defenders at the opposite side of the road near the roadblocks. There's a hip-tall wall on the right of the road and I manage to headshot one as I strafe to cover behind the tiny wall. The other had an MP44 so I was able to easily take him out with my rifle. I run up to the tank as fast as possible and hear the planter running around the other side, tossing nades behind him, bouncing them off the wall to get them on my side. I croutch and begin to defuse the bomb as a trick. As soon as the defusing sound goes off, I let go and begin to move. Just then a sniper bullet finds itself embedded into the dirt at my previous position. I locate the position by the dust spray and position him at the end of the road towards the middle of the map. Before I can react to him, I hear the planter come running around the tank, sniper-side. I sit behind the tank waiting for him to run to me. As soon as I position him correctly with my headphones, I stand and strafe from the tank to the building cover to my left (putting him between me and the sniper). I melee him in mid-strafe and get behind the wall just as another bullet bounces off the building corner. I have nearly no time left on the bomb but I'll be damned if I lose to a single sniper half the map away. At this point, the reader familiar with the map will realize that looking down the road in the middle of the map is filled with dust... thus the prone sniper on the rooftop has a tremendous advantage. Reality be damned, I ran into the road blindly, zig-zagging to avoid the dreaded headshot. He was a very decent sniper since he never shot once while I was evading. As I passed the front of the tank, walking semi-directly at the position I assumed him to be, I began to sightswitch (where you bring up your sights on the rifle quickly to see if you can get get a lucky shot off, even if you see him for just a second, then dropping the sight again to continue zip-zagging). I must've walked 10 feet before he let off a shot through the dust. I immediately locked his muzzleflash, brought up my sights and shot strait through the dust in a blind luck shot. *HEADHSOT!* I had no time to teabag the empty ground in celebration. I rushed back to the bomb with so little time left, I figured it was over. Nevertheless, I began defusing. Sitting there in anxious anticipation for the bomb to go off... but it never did. I managed to defuse it not half a second before the hand hit noon. My headphones flooded with the sounds of cheering teammates and booing germans. woot woot

I don't know why, but Halo 1 just seemed more fun. At LANs, Halo 1 brought more fun and enjoyment whereas Halo 2 seems more competitive or soemthing. I can't put my finger on it, nor can my friends, but Halo 1 was just... classic... sure, 'classic' will be the term used to describe the difference between the two that I can't put my finger on. Sure you still have the few people who can pistol-snipe from half the level away in Blood Gulch, but I'd rather be fighting a pistol than those massic battle rifle matches on Burial Mounds. It's just not fun. Plus, Halo 2 seems to have many more glitches than Halo 1 ever did. Yea, yea.. you can get on top of the map in halo 1 pretty easily, but it's actually COMMON to see people camp-sniping from on top of the map in Halo 2. I suppose the online 'matchmaker' doesn't help... pitting your level 30 status with level 40s... probally rationalizing the 10-pt difference is nothing... while you get owned by some guy with battle rifle skills the likes of which should never be humanly possible! And all the cheatery online! It sickens me!!! Standby, Aimbots, Walhacks... ON A CONSOLE!!!! I know those are fairly prevelent on the PC, but on the consoles, this is a new developement... why? Because bungi decided to make online-downloadable packs thru XBox live.... wow.... good job bunji you bunch of flamers!Anyways, summation: Halo 1 was better. Period.

I agree. Oblivion is 'teh sex' (quoting current '1337' slang, lol)

The only beef I have with apple is on the new laptops runnign core Duos. Apparently apple put soe much thermal grease on their CPU HSF that it overheats to the point you can burn your hand on the exterior of the laptop! There are pictures online somewhere showing this huge glob of the white crap. Even the manual tells the installer to put at least 3cm of the crap on the CPU... pitiful.
