  1. I wish UT would turn RETIRED.
  2. The first Resident Evil game featured such bad voice acting that I was pretty much laughing through all of the "dramatic" parts. It was horrible, LOL. The game was cool though, besides that one element.
  3. Happy Birthday MikeSC, I am trying to arrange a big birthday phone call from Ann Coulter!!! Thanks for keeping the CE Forum fun and interesting........ <---not to many or else
  4. Anyone who needs to watch a documentary to know that eating McDonalds 3 times a day, for a month straight will damage your health, is probably not very wise or healthy to begin with. With that said, Dangerous_A saw the flick and told me it was pretty good, so I might just end up watching it anyway. The only thing that bothers me a bit is supposedly McDonalds uses addictive compounds in their food. Now I am sure it isn't anything on the level of say nicotine or heroin, lol, but it does make you wonder just a little bit more.
  5. So he ordered a "Liter-a-cola" !!
  6. well supposedly I downloaded a bug fix for it, but OF COURSE it didn't work. and it is still converting files upside down.... I do have another one, but it just leaves a text watermark on the screen. I might just use that one for now, until I find something better. If you can find me that link, hook me up
  7. Like Funcoland/EB/Video Stoppers/the video game stores in Hollywood videos Seems like it would be a cool job, especially if you like video games, and same goes for video stores, if you are a movie buff. The only problem is, I tend to see a 90% work force of highschoolers which tends to make me lean towards thinking it is a minimum wage job....
  8. I dunno what the real estate market is like where you all live, but out here in Sacramento, CA it is f'n looney. Houses going on the market are getting bids up to $25,000 over what they are asking due to demand. The MINIMUM for ANYTHING resembling a "house" is approx $230,000 and that is for your basic 2-3 bedroom, 1-2 bath, and typical tiny front yard, and rectangle suburbia backyard. I am just afraid of what it will be like by the time I finally try and get a house one day
  9. well the fact that I abuse the internet privelage at every job site I have had, that has a LAN line. LOL. Umm, I email talk radio shows in the morning, especially sports shows. My current job is cool about it, because instead of some big wig in the IT deparment monitoring us on lockdown, it is up to our IMMEDIATE supervisor to take the initiative to want a report printed on your personal IP address. For one she is much too busy, and secondly, she is pretty nice and even said she doesn't really mind as long as you stay away from porn sites and don't let it affect your work load. When I worked for Dangerous_A I would always try to squeeze extra minutes on the net. It probably pissed him off a bit, but hey, he understands my internet addiction......LOL. As far as fuckups.......well when I worked at Ford, I popped a tire on an Explorer because when we took cars off the ramps, we were supposed to get someone to guide us down, but of course the salesman were being their ususally dickhead selves and didn't want to guide me, so I just said fuck it, can't stay up here all night. *POP* I was scared, but the managers ended up laughing about it. I also dented a car that just got sold to a customer, as I was driving the car back to the detail area, I took a corner too fast on a freshly wet surface, and I smacked it into a pole. It scrapped a nice chunk of paint off the front bumper, but no dent. So being the sly guy I was, when I finished washing it, I brought it up front, and parked the front end SO CLOSE to the wall, that there was no way you could physically walk around the front of the care, so in otherwords, the missing paint was impossible to see. And once you drive the car off the lot, it is considered sold AS-IS.........thank goodness it was just a used car. I still feel kind of bad about that one. I worked there the first year of the Ford Lightning, and I wasn't prepared for the power, so after washing it, I pressed the gas down every so "lightly" hahaha, and I fish-tailed. No damage done though.
  10. the one you left me, would get an illegal operation everytime I clicked the "convert" button.... My main problem now is that the few apps I got to work are converting my avis into UPSIDE DOWN files. This is no good, as I am not turning my tv upside down to watch them .......HELP HELP
  11. does anyone know of any free file converters that won't leave a watermark and don't have a mb output limit?
  12. Well this movie certainly blew me away. Dangerous_A has been pimping this piece, since he saw it in a theater last year. I should have taken my ass down to the theater to see it, as I have wasted hard earned cash on some real pieces of shit in my lifetime. Do yourself a favor and go rent......no, JUST BUY it. It is that good. I think I will be picking this one up on Friday along with the Curb/Simpsons 4 set. I agree with the person that said the edit job in this film is fantastic. There is no slowdown in this movie, and it feels like on constant flow all the way through. Also, the backstories are just amazing. What more can I say, Go watch it NOW dammit.
  13. funny the article should bring up the quote about telling a lie long enough, and eventually people will believe it, since that seems pretty much what the Bush administration did to the american people leading up to the war, only to back off almost all their previous statements once the bombs dropped and it was too late to turn back.
  14. MikeSC is correct about one thing. TNA will never even reach half it's potential as long as Jeff Jarret is out to show THE WORLD(aka Vince McMahon) that he can carry a company as world champ. Jarret just isn't THAT guy. I can handle him being champ for a little while just to establish a feud for the new audience, but he better drop the title belt at the conclusion of his FIRST feud post-FSN debut.
  15. I am gonna pick this set up along with curb your enthusiasm season 2, on friday after my direct deposit kicks in.......I can't wait.
  16. sweet, I'll give it a shot tonight after class.......
  17. ok well I am only doing a 200,000+ kb file and a 300,000kb file this time around to make sure it works. So how does it work exactly? You just drag the file into the converter and then click "convert", it converts it, and then you burn it and play it? Or is it more complicated then that?
  18. So I downloaded some avi stuff, and would like to be able to play it on my dvd player. How do I convert the files so they will play on my dvd player?
  19. the fact that this was before the supreme court was almost a joke in itself. No one can be foreced to recite the pledge let alone the phrase "under god" and anyone offended by the phrase has some serious self esteem issues. Now personally, if you stuck a ballot in front of me, I would gladly vote to have "under god" taken out, however it is so low on my scale of importance right now.
  20. I still wouldn't vote for either ticket, and I am not sure while people would be so swayed by a VP candidate, unless they were counting on something tragic happening to the president. McCain is one of those things that may sound sexy at the moment, but it would end up turning into a Arnold/CA thing where it only takes a small amount of time to see the mistake that is truly was.
  21. I think the TRUE reality check needs to be seen and that is the fact that ever since Benoit has become champ, the world title has taken a backseat in terms of importance on RAW. What a coincidence it is that Triple H drops out of the title picture for a couple of months, yet keeps himself involved in the top spot, importance-wise. You can be that once Triple H starts feuding with Benoit again, it won't be playing second fiddle to any "grudge match" It is such bullshit.
  22. $30+ is too much for ONE MOVIE, I don't care if it is 10 discs.
  23. Well when I use to use Internet Explorer, you just right clicked in the picture of video and clicked on the properties option, however with the sbc yahoo broswer, when you right click, the "properties" option is not even listed. So how would I go about finding the properties of a picture/video in order to post it, or use it in my avatar/signature when I am using sbc yahoo browser? Thanks.....
  24. Teams like the Yankees/Cowboys/Lakers etc......are used to getting things their way. Whether it is, foul line oppurtinities, wider strike zones, or sideline officials allowing more physical contact by the defense. Teams like these are just not used to the pressure and reality that comes along with all of it when much to their chagrin the officials either start actually calling it down the middle or heaven forbid, slightly favor the other team.
  25. the A's have continued to tear it up in interleague play. An 11-1 homestand and 11-0 vs. the NL Central. The Cubs & Cardinals are coming up next though and should prove to be much stiffer challenges. I think I am gonna go to the A's/Giants game on June 26th.
