MrDolphin Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 No' date=' you don't.[/quote'] Yeah I do you fuckhead. Way to be a self-righteous dick because I can't remember how to spell comedian names. You know, because they kinda sound the same?

sweetvids Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Poor taste negal, very poor taste. Or rather no taste. Even I was like "what the fuck" upon reading that. Also putting in a psyduck and an lol doesn't instantly make things better. Edited February 2, 2011 by sweetvids
Cardinal_Sin Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 hahaahhaha niggas on blast so hard you could smelt metal
Greed Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 If anyone's still doing comp sci, or has friends looking for work, I'm hiring right now.
geogaddi Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 so much blast in here i could swear this thread was a mining operation
Greed Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Website seems shadyyyyy Sry its not a large company like EA I'll write a memo about fixing that
BagLunch Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Sry its not a large company like EA I'll write a memo about fixing that Well, you mention that you're doing some ubicomp stuff, but that's about it. Nobody has any idea what you're actually doing, and more importantly, what kind of people are there. Sure you say that you've got UBC alums, but what do they know about? What expertise/experience do they have? Who are they? Keeping the seekrit projekt under wraps isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it wouldn't hurt to say something about why the people behind this startup are awesome, and therefore why anybody would be excited to work with them.
Greed Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Yeah, that might be why some of the job apps have been from super random people like a programmer in Tennessee. It's just an undergrad part-time, honestly if people are picky enough to care about who they're making $15/hour from, they're probably going to want more than that =P

Armored Core 5 screenshots show entire squads of mechs parachuting in and a police line of riot-squad-looking mechs. I totally want this game now.

Greed Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 In any case, don't sell yourselves short unnecessarily.. Yeah, it's probably a good idea. I'll mention it and get the ad changed if we need to do another run. Thanks gabe
nagai Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 yo peter: when you get the chance, also send up my pink DS-- a friend got me dragon quest 4 for xmas. also, send up #R for xbox if you can too. david tran might want to try it (and he has an xbox)

I don't have the charger for it though. Don't know where it is. Also, #R is probably at my house in Prince Rupert. I remember putting the game on my Xbox HDD, so the disc is probably at my house. Just gotta talk to my mom about going in my room and finding it since I'm positive my mom and my sister have no idea what it is. May also send up some Quickmass, but low on money and shit is expensive to ship. 10lbs shiiiiiit. But you should try some NO XPLODE though Long. Shit is bonkers good for working out with.
BagLunch Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 AC5 is pretty much the new Chromehounds. Yeah, that's the feeling I got from it what with the Commander role it will have in team matches. It always amazes me, though, how From Software keeps releasing AC games that not even all the AC fans like... there is so much whining with every AC release that as far as I can tell the only good AC game that was ever made, by consensus, is Master of Arena. Or maybe the vocal internet AC fanbase is just like NMA or sth.
BagLunch Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Question for ye who are medically/training inclined (so Peter and Long): Short version: - is there a fast way to determine your literal physical breaking point without actually breaking anything? - what is the optimal way to increase the threshold on that without actually breaking anything? Long version: I have a simple problem when it comes to physical training. I have the will to do it, I can control my diet, and I don't mind sucking at it to begin with. The problem is that I am quite literally brittle. Last term I got a stress fracture in my left foot, and it basically nixed me for two months. This term, I got a soft tissue injury in my root foot, and an x-ray on it revealed that a few weeks earlier, I had already gotten a minor stress fracture in my right foot as well! I'm not exactly going Van Damme and trying to kick down trees; all I've been doing is jogging (1 mile), sprints (total distance of 1 mile), and a few sets of jumps/crunches/etc. No lifting of heavy weights, no jumping off 20ft ladders, or anything crazy like that. So aside from becoming Samuel L Jackson in UNBREAKABLE, what can I do?
sweetvids Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Well Gabe, it mainly has to do with genetics first of all. Like how some people are more susceptible to injury or disease moreso than others. Actually I have class, so I will elaborate on the factors and other stuff later since I do I have a lot to say on the matter.
BagLunch Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Can't tell if trolling or not: "Daigo: That’s what it comes down to. When I think about if a character is good or not, I look to see if they have a Shoryuken-style move. Not an invincible attack per se, but rather if the SRK motion will produce an invincible attack or not. The SRK command…? Daigo: Yeah, mashing is too good. (laughs) (ed. note: Daigo refers to ガチャガチャ, or literally spinning the joystick around and pressing buttons at the same time)"

BagLunch Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) What's more, I'm in Philadelphia, the same place where Unbreakable was filmed. Super hero origin story: computer programmer finds himself incapable of becoming physically stronger, with successive attempts only resulting in him growing weaker. Becomes obsessed with not only images of strength and weakness, but the development of either. Uses computer simulation techniques and the biological research labs to project optimal ways in development, but the findings are so radical that they might well just be the result of lousy assumptions/wrong model/faulty implementation. The findings are considered unpresentable and the project is scrapped, and so the programmer decides to take them on himself. The results of the human experiment are initially disastrous; he gets further injured, likely due to his existing condition combined with the extremeness of the regimen. But the struggle has taken on a meaning and vitality all its own; he simply can't stop because doing so would require acknowledging his genetic incapacity for it, and that all his research really is a failure; failing to go through all of it would mean accepting that he is a failure. So with a lunatic fanatacism he goes through it all and gains superhuman physical capabilities. But the entire process has required such personal costs, injury, isolation, and abandonment of his original goals in school that he is left with nothing but his rebuilt self and a bunch of research that nobody is willing to publish. In spite of his newfound strength, he is no uberman. In the face of overwhelming nihilism, where does he go from here? To become a hero? To become a villain? To become a nobody? TO BE CONTINUED Edited February 3, 2011 by BagLunch

BagLunch Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I heard that Shymalan has cast himself in an Unbreakable sequel as the villain. I'm not sure if he has reached the nadir of self-delusion, or the pinnacle of hubris.
