He knew damn well what he was doing, saw on the news he lied to police about seeing this black van and led them on a while goose chase.

A shotgun designed for children should make a bang noise, maybe have a flashing light and need batteries. Anything more than that and its not designed for children. ditto on the responsible parenting

lol well that makes for a "crappy" day. Even if it turns into a crappier day contest, it helps to get things off your chest.

Big Time. Continuing from the biggest dissapointment of 2008, I wasn't totally out of the game with that girl. BUT now this other friend of mine is basically stabbing me in the back. She's trying to recruit some "hot" guy to the team to hook up with the same girl I like, meanwhile she's well aware I'm totally in love with that girl(shooting down any notion of me and her). So its a gigantic slap in the face considering how well she knows me and how I'm not the typical dog of a guy. Worse, I've got no stress relief since I'm basically living at school until we get all these papers we have to do finished. So yeah, the universe is taking a dump on me too.

Never got a chance to see this in the theaters
eraser_tr replied to serverandenforcer's topic in The Pub
I didn't bother to see it after seeing the trailer. I loved the games and I knew they'd screw the movie up badly. And to think, the game was written and played as if it was already an action movie, all they had to do was follow the game's story and cut down the shootouts every second to the plot points so a 10 hour game becomes a 2 hour movie. But no! they had to screw around with it. Made DMX Jim Bravura, they changed the music (the sequel's violin theme would have been perfect to use) and threw in supernatural s**t with those winged things. The game had no such thing. Maybe if Walhberg had played the game, he would've realized the screenplay was a screwup and his name would be big enough to make them fix it. They should have just had Sam Lake make the screenplay instead of the hollywood people. They always screw up game to movie conversions. 1. They almost always pick the wrong games to make into movies (doom, resident evil, tomb raider, hitman, halo) and never games that have worthwhile stories. Max Payne was one, Deus Ex also cries for a movie, as does Mechwarrior or Bioshock. Maybe Fallout, FEAR or the STALKER games. Fallout they could probably do well, Liam Neeson and a few other big names did some voice acting so maybe they would reprise their roles in film. 2. They screw around with stories that were better than alot of hollywood stuff. 3. They usually get s**tty actors and directors. I absolutely DREAD the making of a Half-Life movie and letting someone like Michael Bay, (or worse, someone who makes Bay look good) screw it up and tarnish Half-Life to the greater public, unless Gabe Newell and Marc Laidlaw were wholly involved as producers and had creative control. Only then would I feel comfortable. -
Hey ndicki! It'll be nice to see some more old friends from the CFS3 days here. I was around MAW for a while myself, but left when fairly simultaneously 1. Stopped kidding myself that I had the time for a constant commitment to an ongoing project 2. Luca got really ****ing mad at me because of my snail pace with a beta model 3. just couldn't use gmax anymore now that I had 3ds and 4. got really sucked into strike fighters. Actually, you can sortof model in gmax and transfer the model to 3ds to export. And as far as some more advanced mapping goes, who knows? The engine already does specular, reflective and glossiness effects, it may not be a terribly big deal or expensive undertaking to modulate the existing effects via a texture map. Perhaps the AI in SF2 can handle 1% flight models properly?

Yankee Air Pirate 2 - Ready

Really? how noticable a difference? Is there any download of YAP2? Or is everything going to be CDs? I have a profound hatred of waiting for mail, as there's no guarantee I'll ever get anything.....yes the postal service is really that bad here. -
F-100 vs MiG-17 strategy
eraser_tr replied to KingLear's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
The trick I've found with any fighter against a mig, keep your energy high no matter what. I couldn't kill ***t with an F-100 or 104 without a lucky missile hit before I learned to stay over 350kts all the time. -
Registered for downloads when I first got SFP1 and WOV but never paid attention to the forums until the mass exodus from simHQ when it became the complete and total center for TW games. Unfortunately, I've been stuck with this riffraff ever since

Well, it is and isn't. CFS3 did certain effects better, namely effects mapping (specular, reflective) where you could have the same model have vastly different levels based on textures defining specular and reflective properties. Weather was alot better. Water was way behind, unless someone has managed better shader effects since I last checked CFS forums. With CA_starry SF's terrain is much nicer, and there's more than just a europe map. If they've already got a nice P-51 FM, then I guess alot of our prop issues are likely solved. Maybe we'll see some more hi-def WW2 and earlier planes.

'Stiglr is an ass' Excellent news! Their MS series flight models were fantastic. If they can make an excel workbook like they did for MS, flight model creation would be a hell of alot easier with all the calculations done. Just enter mostly readily available information and export!

What to do when in a rip? Interesting Story, read here
eraser_tr replied to scouserlad13's topic in The Pub
You are all extremely lucky. You should never try to swim against a rip tide, thats how people drown in them, they tire themselves out trying to swim directly to shore. You swim 90 degrees from the direction the current is going to get out of it, but let it take you in the direction its going, never swim against it. -
They are ALL LOLcats. It's just a matter of capturing it on camera.

I'd rather have a very pretty girl who is flat chested than one with freakishly large breasts.

For the record, only the original trilogy counts as star wars. Except for Natalie Portman....yum (and I'm sure racindriver1 will think shes trash like all the other celebs we drool over here) Never quite got what the appeal was of Dr. Who.....apparently I'm the only one who thinks Daleks are quite possibly the most comically non-threatening alien race ever. It's a fricken oversized garbage can, just tip the damn thing over and it won't be EXTERMINATE!!!ing anything.

Star Wars: Gritty and realistic. Laser guns, space battles, lightsaber fights. Princess Leia chained up in a metal bikini. Star Trek: Shiney and sterile. Tv remotes as lasers, middle aged dough bellied white guys sitting around talking technobabble. Or as whiteknight's sig says "The cast of the OC on a bridge designed by fraggle rock" for the newer iterations The winner is obvious!

DS Mod Goodies
eraser_tr replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
He followed the directions implicitly given to him by the quality of this mod : 1. Open mouth 2. Insert foot 3. Swallow (African not european, monty python reference is irresistable) 4. Choke to death There's no point in planes without a campaign to use them in! -
Oh hell I just thought it was an amusingly similar quote....No....No, not Colbert's list AHHHHHH!
