I hate games that cheat in order to make the game “fair”. It’s lame, and it pisses me off. Top Spin, the new tennis game by Microsoft, is an example of this game. For some reason when you play the computer, it always has better angles and more power on its shots, even though your player is rated the same. It’s stupid, and it should change.

I’ve been playing this demo, and I like it. Great graphics, sweet cars, good movies, and exciting gameplay. This game promises to be the best racing game I’ve played in a long time. The game features circuit and drag racing, both of which require a different skill set. I highly recommend this demo.

me and jared and al and jason are in a geography trivia contest tonight. i have no clue what it consists of, i just know that i will probably be of no help to our team. it better be fun. if we win, i’ll probably post about the experience, if not, assume we lost.

Ok, first off, I did not take your original post as a joke, so for that I am sorry. This misinterpretation of tone was my fault, but I’ve heard other complaints from other people about some of the stuff I’ve said, so I was a little irritated about that. As for my comment about your social life, I was not referring to you extracurricular status. I was referring to the fact that when one is around different people, one picks up new words and expressions. I know I do at least. Maybe you don’t, but I doubt it. As for the thing about unoriginal, your posts through the last couple of days have been about me or your computer. I have no problem with your posts on the later, but when I write stuff similar to this, I get criticized for it.

Oh, by the way, the engineer is about the dumbest mascot ever, but if you think about it, so is the boilermaker.

1. I can honestly say I haven’t picked up any new words or expressions here.
2. I didn’t know one post and three comments made all of my writing unoriginal.
3. I don’t do NEAR as much extracurricular stuff here as in high school, but check how many times my picture is in the year book. Don’t call me anti-social.
4. I think the tone of my writing suggested in my post as well as in my comments that i was JOKING. The tone of your post clearly gives the impression you took offense. Excuse me if I wasn’t apparent enough in the fact that it was all in fun.

Go Engineers! hehe.

Harlow, maybe you should focus on writing something original for once instead of constantly ripping on the stuff I do. The only thing you’ve written, besides crap about me, is updates on your computer situation. I’m also not sure how using the word “tool” constitutes as a “view.” You can’t honestly tell me you haven’t picked up words at U of I that you hadn’t used before, and if you haven’t than you’re freaking anti-social. Anytime you are around different people, you pick up different words, expressions, etc. You should learn to grow up and accept differences.

Edited By Jared: This isn’t helping your case, Scott. I almost deleted this post. Kyle’s posts about the internet are updates in his life, therefore relevant. Your post said Pulp Fiction was not good, which, as Kyle noted, does not reflect my views. Also, comparing the word “nigger” to the word “nerd” is asinine. One is much, much more disparaging than the other.

I haven’t been able to check my email for the last 4 days. It’s pissing me the fuck off. I get a lot of damn email, and I’m sure I’m losing any of it that’s being sent now. Hotpop better get their shit in order, soon. Assholes haven’t even replied to me in 2 days with an explanation of what’s going wrong.

I think I speak for Jared when I say:

The views expressed by Scott in his posts and shouts in no way express the views and opinions of Shouzer.com and its affiliates. His opinions are his own and do not reflect the feelings of the other posters and readers.

Thank you for your time.

The weekend before finals is great, there’s no homework to do. It was the most relaxing time I’ve had here.

I saw a few movies over the weekend. S.W.A.T., Pulp Fiction, and Elf. SWAT sucked horribly, the story was weak. Pulp Fiction got pretty boring. Elf was pretty funny, but I might have just enjoyed it b/c of the friends I was with.

I’ve also found something else that bothers me quite a bit, nerd flirting. I’ve never been much of a fan of watching people flirt, but it is much worse with nerds. Although, it is sort of amusing in a twisted sort of way. It may seem a little mean to call people nerds, but it’s OK because I’m a nerd too. Its kind of like black people can call each other niggers, but if I did that I would get shot.

I figured I’d go ahead & post some links to articles that I thought were at least of some interest:

Wal-Mart’s Online Music Store. This seems stupid to me, since they censor are the music they sell in the real store. Who the fuck wants censored music?

Hacked Disposable Camera. Apparently, these things are digital. If you do it right, you can connect them to your PC through USB and pull the pictures off yourself.

IE to Block Popups. It’s about damn time, I’d say. Firebird is the fuckin’ shizzy anyway. Just use that, I’d say.

Virginia Sniper Could Get Death. They’ve basically decided that if the older of the two guys is convicted, he’ll be put to death.

Tom Cruise Almost Beheaded. Apparently a mechanical horse failed during a fight scene on the set of The Last Samurai, and Cruise almost got his head cutoff.

Transexuals in the Olympics. If you get a sex change operation, you can compete in the olympics in your new sex. Sounds fucked up to me, but then again so do sex change operations.

Kasparov Losing to a Computer. Garry Kasparov is considered the greatest chess player of all time, as he has the record for the highest ELO rating. He lost to Deep Blue in 1996 and is losing to X3D Fritz right now.

That’s all for now. I might start doing this on a regular basis or something. Like once a week…. Maybe.

So I checked my EA Sports Bio just now. My roommate and I have combined for 6 days 9 hours 15 minutes of madden. We’re closing in on a week. That’s pretty darn pathetic. Take that you RPG freaks. When you get 153 hours out of a FF game let me know.

On the up side, the research paper is done. I won’t bore you with mundane details, or say anything that is apparently disgusting.

yay! i’m back in the matrix, back online. if you won’t see jared for awhile, you can listen to the new blink 182 cd, right here. Oh yeah, it’s 10 til 8, and i’m tired.

still in the dang underground lab. got the computer fixed tonight at about 845, but it seems they forgot to turn the port back on. how hard is that? obviously it’s somewhat hard, or i would have just done it. i just answered my own rhetorical question. heh.

waking up early sucks. waking up early with a headache and sweating is even worse. just fyi.

It was all nice outside earlier… Nice enough that I could walk to class in a t-shirt. Now it’s damn near 27 degrees outside, and in about an hour I’ve gotta walk halfway across the fuckin’ world to get to a meeting for a club I’m in.

Oh, and for those of you who couldn’t figure it out, my name is pronounced “j to the ared”. Hehe. That rocks your socks.

It’s cool to say that this post is underground. ‘Cause that usually means something more positive than negative. But it sucks at the same time, cause I mean underground literally. Still postin’ from the tunnels. Coulda gotten the internet fixed last night, but Jason and I both had a CS exam at the same time, and that’s when the net tech called (I know cause he left a message on our fancy shmancy answering machine). It sucks hardcore, for those who think it might not. So I’m basically going to be down here a little while this afternoon/evening doing my speech for tomorrow. I’d do it upstairs on my computer, but I need online resources. Blah!

It all happened ’cause jason plugged his new notebook, unpatched, into the network. A net tech explained to me that even if you think your computer is brand new and won’t get the this “worm” that his computer has, it will. Evidentally the worm is on the network, and plugging in will inevitably infect your computer. I didn’t get the memo about this. I’m not so smart about this, but why can’t they just get rid of the worm on the network? Or have some kind of messaging system where the techs are notified when something like this happens? They could just walk up to our room, install the patch (takes 2 minutes, max) and leave, and be done with it. Instead, I end up taking care of the problem, to which still hasn’t been resolved. Can you tell this is irritating?

On another note, who thinks Scott talks different now than he did 4 months ago?
