CoD - Modern Warfare 2

Let's make this the official thread.

Was reading over the weekend about the game, it comes out November 10, 2009. I am pumped for this - read so much great stuff over the weekend.

If you want to follow any blogs, both of these are pretty good:

Vote: Close QBN Membership

http://www.ebizontek.com/sites/default/files/nospam.jpg

I think we should take a vote here and see how many of us actually care about ending the onslaught of spam that is basically not going to go away unless major steps are taken. In the short term, closing QBN to new member should solve the problem.

If you are in favor of closing the site to new members, JUST POST "YES." This isn't a post that warrants conversation - if you want to talk about spam ,pros/cons, etc. use the Spammer Hotline thread. If enough of us are in favor of this, maybe that will draw QBN's attention. I'm really not trying to call out the QBN owners here, but like many of you I feel that our requests for ending spam are falling on deaf ears.

Tattoos

Those of you who DO NOT have any, but have wondered if you would ever get one, what would you get?

My GF and I were talking about this last night, and I figured it might be cool to have a full sleeve of patterned Victorian wallpaper, or cartographic lines of elevations.

Not that I would ever do that, just thought it would be interesting and not-the-norm.

Anything you've thought of?

Dear Mr. President...

What would you write to Bush? What would you ask?

I have this all cued up and ready to go by email:

"Dear George W. Bush,

Sometimes I just zone out for no good reason that I can come up with. Could it be the weather, or am I finally too mesmerized with Bryan Boytano? He might have placed a hex on me, you know.

In any event, have you ever had friends with problems like these?

Your citizen,

Solaris Moonskin"

What was once cool

I was going through some stuff recently and found this book, 72dpi, published back in 2000. I remember this being "the book to have" back in 2000/2001, but damn is the stuff in here out of date now.

Also, we have this at my office. Nobody has touched it in years:

I remember that book and remember plenty of people who thought they were a total badass for owning it - like they would be great at Flash just because they had that.

Anything you've got laying around like this, or anything that comes to mind that you really loved, but is now stupid?

Favorite Meat?

What's your favorite meat?

Right now I'm engrossed in a delicious hot toasted Reuben sandwich, thus, corned beef is reminding me that it is at the top of the charts.

Josh Davis Article

Forgetting yesterday's thread on the same topic...

http://www.apple.com/pro/profile…

I thought this was a really good read actually. I didn't know he had a site up to sort of explain how he does all the generative artwork, but the examples are cool, makes me wish I were using Flash as much as I used to (more like at all).

http://workshop.joshuadavis.com/…

Interesting how he says he uses the Mac Mini for this stuff. I'm really curious about the actual load of those flash files on the Mini and how that compares to, say, a huge PS file on a PC.

Trapped Chile Miners

Holy hell could you even imagine being stuck underground - 33 people - in a 500 square foot room, and know you might not get out for up to 4 months? They're getting food and some kind of health gel down a tiny 3 inch diameter hole from the surface. It's pretty riveting; I don't know how I'd manage to stay calm.

Latest Ego Strokes?

It's OK, we're all friends, you can go ahead and admit it.

Anything happened lately that just made you go "Yesssssssssss" just as Napoleon Dynamite does when he guesses the problems with the milk?

J Phoenix on Letterman

Completely gave Crispin Glover's bizarre assed interview from the 80s a run for the money!

Letterman ends by saying "well jaquin, it's a shame you couldn't be here tonight." LOL

Check the youtubes soon!

Long plane flights

What's the longest flight you've ever taken? Take any drugs to sleep most of the way? Get bored? ipod run out of juice?

As I've told some of you, I'm going to Tokyo in July, as in Chicago - Tokyo, 13 hour nonstop flight...

kind of feel like a kid - totally new experience and really anxious, wondering if when it's all said and done I'll be like "wow, that was a long time on a plane."

Any stories?

Not In Real Life?

My girlfriend and I were talking the other night about things on TV that you never actually see in real life, like the following:

Credit card cut in half if declined at a restaurant.

Chalk outline around murder victim.

Food put into duck shaped aluminum foil if taking it home from restaurant.

Can you think of other things?
