that fact that he's singing the doom tune makes it all that much better.

What are they gonna do? And how do you 'stand beside them' if we dont know what they're gonna do?

Am I the only one who thinks the whole PC vs. Consoles, and Consoles vs. Consoles is fucking retarded?

Why can't you just like video games without turning it into a goddamn competition?  This shit has been going on since the "Nintendo vs. Sega" days, and it's evolved into some imaginary war that some people will spend countless hours fighting on forums.

He never posts...

Guilty.

I've been busy outside of gaming.  Maybe I should post my story of our adventures to the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Fuck. My. Life.

So, Michigan State's Accounting Graduate program and its application process says this:

Current MSU accounting students with both an overall GPA and at least three intermediate accounting courses (300/400-level, excluding ACC 308) of at least 3.25 are able to waive the GMAT.

ACC 201: 3.5
ACC 202: 4.0
ACC 300: 3.0
ACC 301: 0.0
ACC 308: 3.5
ACC 321: 3.5
ACC 331: 3.0

So, the current average is 3.1677, if you only count the bold 300 level classes. Makes you wonder why I chose Accounting, huh? My overall GPA is a 3.7. This means that I have to take the GMAT. I'm not bitching about that. I guess what I'm really bitching about is Michigan State's grading scale and how they handle grades.

Two of those highlighted classes (ACC 321 and ACC 331) I was within 2 points of getting a higher grade (4.0/3.5 respectively). So instead of having a great 3.9 and a nice 3.45 GPA in those classes, my grades get artificially pushed down to a 3.5 and a 3.0. Essentially, if I had just done two points better in just ONE class, I wouldn't have to worry about taking the GMAT. That Tax class I went on a binge studying for 3 days straight? Had I just done two points better in that class, I wouldn't have to take the GMAT. My ACC 321 class, I always had the highest project grade among my classmates, and I was 2 points away from getting a 4.0. I emailed the Professor, and she wouldn't up my grade and told me, "The grade doesn't really matter. What really matters is what you got out of the class, and you understood a great deal." SO THEN GIVE ME THE GOD DAMNED 4.0. At the time, it didn't seem like it would be a huge deal. I mean, whatever. It was only one god damn grade in one god damn class.

Now, I know my grade is my responsibility. I get that. I understand that, and that's why I have a great overall GPA. It happens to everyone at Michigan State in every class, so I'm not the only one that this happens to. I know that if I studied more and spent that extra hour at the library and didn't party as much, I probably wouldn't have this issue. But I just think it's ridiculous how my grade gets artificially pushed down, and it's really going to impact this semester (and my gaming time) because I'm going to have to spend a bunch of time studying in the library instead of hanging out with my friends/playing SWTOR. Test costs $250 to take, and the prep materials are $475. Seriously. What is my life?

Why is school getting in the way of my education? Fuck asshole professors.

Seeing as it continues as of Saturday in the UK.  I assume the US is pretty close to that.

I'm one of those guys that can't use the joypad on a console. End up spraying a clip everywhere but at the target, and most of the time be looking at the sky or the ground.

I need my mouse.

If these had been out a long time ago, I probably would have gotten into the console thing.



As of now, I don't get TV time anyway... that's the wife's domain now.

Shit son; gratuitous amounts of 'Come dine with me' for you! Ergh, I hate that shit. I don't want to watch food; I wanna eat it!

Don't think it is an actual Iplayer link as this was the link I was sent http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/videos/p00jthfd

But, if the BBC are still being a pain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spskka3CDi0

Don't think it is actual TV license that is the issue, just television companies in general.  I always have trouble when I want to watch the extended interviews and other stuff from the Daily Show and Colbert Report.

Just single handedly stopped Arch from playing Deus Ex by using a woman's tactic... talking.

I can see the video fine, and I live in America... I mean.... AMURRRKA!!

Also, the stupid wait for Doctor Who to start again was annoying. If it's going to be this long of a break call it a different season!

The BBC was saying they stopped it mid-series to fit more in with Americans and their breaks...

I don't know, you Americans just never seem satisfied!
