    Well that is my point really, in regards to the marijuana/alcohol issue. In America, we as a society will openly embrace any drug that has been mandated by doctors and scientists for treatment of ailments, even if these treatments have side effects such as health problems, death etc...but...

    Rap, sex, parents, co-opting gamer culture, etc...

    Yes it is considered inappropriate in India for kissing in movies. I know Cold mountain is an R rated film, but it went beyond what I expected. I am not some kind of prude here, but it just goes to show the ratings really streched the gray area of the 'R' rating...going far beyond what I would...

    It is the declining standard that worries me. If the benchmark by which we determine what is 'acceptable' and what is 'not acceptable' as a society continues to slip....we will in short order be left with a serious dilemma in our nation. Considering that the environment is becoming...

    While I agree with you that sex is great, I will propose a challenge to the statement of changing the station. What happens when say, my 7 year old daughter is watching the History of Flight on the History Channel with me and on commercial break a provocative commercial comes on? Well this did...

    Agreed. But like most things, there is no single one solution to the problem. Well, I guess there is but that is all about the individual's choices to work toward a cohesive, safe and loving society. It is not only that though, Ghandi, there are plenty of married folk who spend on average...

    Just one quick post. I did a spur of the moment word association with a co-worker yesterday. It went something like this: me: "Popular rap artist" co-worker: " 50 cent" me: "50 cent message" co-worker: "guns" This was a completely random, spur of the moment, and unscripted dialogue.

    Sorry for the confusion....referring to 'thug life' meaning those who glorify the lifestyle of gangsters. The message (I am referring to) is that they are rich and powerful, have all the girls and whatever they want because of the path that they have chosen. I appreciate all gendres of music...

    My disclaimer....I don't want to reflect on the toj.cc clan in any negative light , so I will start by stating that I am a casual visitor here. But something that strikes me is this comment: I personally think that it is not necessarily the choice we make to listen or not listen to the...

    State of the Team

    Ladders are funny like that. It is kind of odd that teams that are not as good as you are end up getting on a rung above you because they happened to challenge and beat the right team. You could also, (like I learned the hard way) challenge several really tough teams in a row and get slammed...

    doh! Yeah looks pretty amazing all in all. Just makes you wonder if you'll need 2G of cas 2 pc3200, a 64 bit AMD and some Asus cards running in SLI :P Hehe. But hey why have a game like that and not bleed it for all the eye candy :D.

    Hehe, not to curve the topic....but you know what really annoys me? The fact that 14 yr olds play 2k4. I mean it is a M title people. Personally, I have all the gore, taunts etc turned off because 1) I don't care for them and 2) They distract from competetive gameplay imo. I was on a pub...

    Yeah, the girl is annoying. :D I am honestly a bit concerned at the statements being made that they are going to 'tone down' the movement. Did the secondary shock ball look smaller diameter to you guys? Looks very appealing graphically, but if they screw up the movement they will have a lot...

    Match v. (-TMS^)

    LOOL, I just saw that the other night. My favorite part from the film is where they are sitting around the table at his work and the guy is giving the presentation and is like "like i was telling my man here..." and Ed Norton kinda like 'shows his teeth' and they are all bloody, haha.

    It's dead Jim!

    Roger, yeah everyone has to do what is best for their setup. Have you looked at the Nostromo? http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=2071&pcount=&Product_Id=157024# (or the less expensive version)...

    It's dead Jim!

    yowzas. To each his own, but man I dunno if I could ever use one of those things for an FPS. :P. One guy did use a Nostromo, he said it was really stiff at first and his fingers tired out fast. I still love the good ole kb+mouse :D. We have one guy that uses his scroll for all the weapons...

    Match v. pdX

    Thx for the compliments. I think to a large degree, the fact that most of us are in the late 20's early 30's plays a big role in how we act. (No offense to the younger peeps). Personally I am 30, married (9 years in July) and am expecting our third child any day now. Since I only play mostly...

    Ok, Major Major Rocket and Flak usage. It seemed (at least when we played them 4v4) that they rarely used HS. Unless they have changed their play style be prepared to keep the Rox anc Flak under control. Have fun!

    Help! I'm drowning in a pool of my own drool!

    Cool info! Thanks. About the game, as developers, I think success is determined by mass appeal rather than a core group of players in the end. They are most likely looking at it from the point of view of "how do we get more players into the game"? The long distance fights they speak of are...

    Match v. 2 Dimension

    <3 [toj.cc] Yeah it has a lot to do with what weapons you want to dominate with. Lower sens seem to work much better for distance and higher for in-close. The reason for this is that at longer range, the distance your target moves is small relative to yourself...in other words, if your...
