Loadstone = GT? :] I play GoW3.
Can I ever get some idea on your project? I'd like to see what I may be encountering later in the future.

Yeah, the CoD games are terrible. I can't ever play them alone since they're so boring; I play occasionally with a group of 5 or 6 guys but then it's just set up on a map and win games by like 50 kills. I just wish Reach didn't suck so much. Some of my favorite halo days were playing infinite nades on halo ce, epic long range nade battles. Need to bust that game back out.

I've already talked to Deezy about hanging out once I move up, we'll have to set something up.



Gears 1 and 2 had major connection issues (host can run through an entire team, etc) and the weapon balancing was terrible (the lancer/hammerburst couldn't down someone unless you had teamshooting, so people just used nothing but shotgun). The Gears 3 Beta has awesome connection with the dedicated servers, and they adjusted the weapon balance so the rifles are entirely usable. I've never been a fan of 3rd person shooters but this one is sick. I'm getting better at wall-bouncing and maneuvering, which I consider comparable to strafing in halo. My favorite thing is that dying is entirely your fault, either for not being as good or someone catching you unaware. When the servers have been up, I haven't blamed a single death on connection.


the cod games are awesome tbh

Thunder over Mavs 6 games for Western Conference Finals. lmk.


Thunder won't make it to the finals. They are the ONLY team that can realistically beat Lakers so I am guessing Stern is gonna fix that series and get Memphis in.

West is really boring this year, I am thinking whoever comes out of East is going to take it all (I just hope it isn't the Heat. Fuck them)

I fucking hate the Heat more than anything. I'm going to game 6 of Heat Celtics (If there is one) and I'm going to boo the living shit out of LeBron and Wade, even though it doesn't phase 'em it makes me feel better. Last time I went to a Celtics Cavs playoff game LeBron was held under 15 points.

eh not really, not when you play against good people
it's alot more about strategy imo..and yeah in HC it's about who sees the other first it's insta-kill basically
but in SC every single game something will happen with someone putting 1-2 shots in me and i just drop shot and they miss and i get the 3 shots in and bang them lol..still heavily about gun skill(not as much as halo obviously)

also lakers are taking it all!

Strongly disagree on all points.

Strategy =/= being better at camping imo.

I'm by no means an expert at COD, but I have played enough and watched enough gameplay from friends who play much more than me to pretty confidently conclude that a VAST majority (>95%) of firefights will be decided by who sees the other first. If you are into that sort of thing then great, but I prefer a scenario where one's hand-eye coordination/strafing/hand-to-hand combat/etc trumps one's ability to be better and hide-n-go-seek.

Not to mention the maps are designed to encourage camping. CoD4 was the only one I could stand since the maps were simple and didn't have all the nooks and crannies to lie prone and wait for someone to run by. But then I look at mw2 and black ops, where they have hollowed out areas under stairs to sit under and dark walls behind windows so people sitting there aren't even silhouetted.

Sig. I haven't played much recently since it's annoying when the servers are down.

The project was actually pretty boring coding-wise. I was working with a mechanical group to design a program that takes user input about pressure vessels and runs through equations to determine fitness for service. Not to say it was simple (I was working on Cracks in cylindrical objects, and the entire semester my partner and I only finished about 2 crack geometries out of 12 - shit was extremely complicated), but from a programming point of view it was a lot of input-output and graphical user interface. That's all it would've been if I hadn't gotten bored of the mechanical guy I was working with figuring out the API codes and started adding features myself.
