What?

Pull up to ya spot on low
Shine brighter than all o' them cats they got on glow
Layin the cut like they not gon' know
Cuz if I gotta make a move dawg they not gonna know
This door marked private this is not fo' sho'
It's Mos Def what you call real fo' sho'
Is they what you call gangsta, hell no
They get a lil' pitch and go snitch to the po'
They all talk fast and they all think slow
I'm Mos Definite, not think so
Flood ya city with the black ink flow
And my crew ain't scared to let them things go
So, stop with the nonsense, like he conscious
I'm just alright dawg, I'm doin' great dawg
I don't play games so I don't playa hate y'all
Get it straight or get the fuck up out my face dawg
I'm like the second plane that made the tower's face off
That shit that let you know it's really not a game dawg
Your grind and my grindin is same dawg
I'm the catalogue, you the same song
So cool and ol' school like A4?
The one ya lil mami windin' up on ways for
The name that real $$$$az got they hands raised for
Me and Mini got ya block yellow taped off

That's what I thought too(I've seen the DVD at Best Buy) but they made a movie aside from that too.

I still find it fairly confusing and my expectations aren't too high for either the TV show or this movie.

It's been so long since I watched it. I saw it in theaters when I was in like 11th/12th grade so it's been a good ~4 years.

I do remember that Knockout Ned was that $$$$y. He was also the black guy that played Bowie songs on his acoustic guitar in The Life Aquatic.

Why would you trade your car for a $$$$$$ Morrissey acetate?

Because they are fun to get.

JimmieMac
02-13-2008, 12:46 AM
Because they're equal over single and co-op play and they're like Gears with the pop culture references as titles. Drool face indeed.

Mojimbo made the most sense. Still not drool worthy as previews of games tell you more.

Can't wait to get some trophies up ins.

Previews suck, most of the time they don't say shit and only give you vague impressions of the gameplay. I think the last preview I saw of Army of Two was when the 1up Show covered it circa E3.

Buy a new sticker off ebay and send it on its way. Even without the sticker there's a good chance they won't notice because of the huge volume their intake.

JimmieMac
02-13-2008, 01:00 AM
A friend of ours also had the modded firmware and they didn't even check the stickers. It's worth a shot because it's free. It's not like they're gonna try and bill you.

Call up, say it red rings, error code 74, box on it's way.

My shipment o' games may be delayed due to the wind today.

I wouldn't be too worried about sending in a modded 360 for repairs. With the sheer amount of them, there's absolutely no way for them to go through and check every single console that goes through. The five times (Twice for me, once for my younger brother, and twice for my older brother) I have had some contact with them, the console arrived and left the repair center on the same day.

Conan was pretty decent. I enjoyed it up till the last boss fight, which wasn't as bad was I was making it out be last night around 10:00 PM.

I had checked out the reviews when I bought it and discover that most of the complaints were about the fact that he could use magic in the game. I realized this violates every Conan principle, but they strictly spell (pun intended) it out in the game that he doesn't want to use the magic but has to in order to defeat Graven

As he points out like four times over the course of the game. With the exception of Stone Prison, I don't think I really used any of the magic. I imagine THQ told Nilihistic "I don't care if everything ever written about Conan says he doesn't use magic. You're going to put in magic in there because Kratos uses magic"

I thought the demo was mediocre too, but I am pleasantly surprised +1 at the actual game. It's so much better. The level they used for the demo was weak compared to the rest of the game (at least up to act 5, which is what I am on now).

I paid full price, and let it sit until recently. I can kick myself for that since it can be bought now at $39.99 new, I beleive. (But I did get a cool action figure). It seems like I'm going to be finished within a week (8-10 hours game time), so at $39.99 it's still might be a little pricey.

But I wouldn't hesitate at $29.99!

Even better, according to the player rep I got escalated to, it got canceled from sending it out to me, but didn't cancel the RMA request or the hold on my credit card. So basically, it would have gone through their system as me not returning the guitar in 30 days, even though they never sent it out.

How they can get so confused by the response is bewildering. In their queue thing, literally all it says is my RMA # and my UPS Tracking # (which is what I emailed), and they apparently freaked out over it.

They're not really that hard, just repititious, though it's not as far as the last area the social missions send you to. The last part of the Gaara fight's pretty cool though (you get to take control of the 9-tailed fox demon that Gamabunta transforms into).

Fun fact: I've never landed a job that has these kinds of questionnaires :shock: ..well, I've only applied to 2 that use them--gamecrazy and a grocery store (both years ago.) Do they want you to answer everything the *right* way or will that just make them more suspicious?

From what I know, this bullshit program called "Unicru" sucks. Search for it. There's so many topics on forums about how Unicru sucks.

They ask you 100 painful questions like that, and the results are sent to them. Basically how you answer is like a score sheet. You are either a green or a red. Clearly green is good, and red is not. So instead of companies actually talking to you, they rather rely on 100 questions about fuckin criminals and if slow people make me impatient :bomb:

I used to know all the correct answers to the Unicru honesty test. Years ago, I was the highest ranked hire at my local Albertsons with 97% positive. Until I took the test for a friend of mine and he was hired with 99%.

The way the answers break down are into specific groups like

Task Handling

Customer Service

Employee Cooperation

Over all performance

And you're given a percentage based on your performance. When I did hiring, I was advised anything below 75% was a failure.

From what I gathered, it did seem like some bullshit. At the gamecrazy I applied to, I had like an hour long conversation with the manager about games, my job experience, and working retail that went perfectly. He was all ready to hire me on the spot and then he goes "you'll just have to do this questionnaire online first...." went in after that and he's like "sorry failed the test can't hire you wish i could what a shame kthxbye" :bomb:

Just remember they're looking for the obvious answer. Folks always think there's some hidden meaning behind it. There isn't.

If it asks you the question about "Would inform the manager if your friend, a fellow employee, came to work stoned?" They aren't asking about your loyality to your buddies (which most people think), they are just flat out asking if you'd rat out a friend to the better of the company.

Which the answer is yes. Even if you don't mean it.

That goes back 20-something years, now that I think about it. :oldman:

But a lot of those questions are very open-ended. They are so vague. I sat here with my BF and we really were having a hard time trying to figure out what they mean. A LOT of questions could of been asked in a good way OR a bad way. That's what I hate the most. Questions like "Do you like people?" are easy, as if you say "Strongly Disagree" to a question about liking people in a RETAIL job.. clearly you won't get the job :lol:

But questions like
"Do you talk a lot?"

That can be taken 2 ways:
-The person talks way too much and is more focused on talking then doing their job
-The person is very friendly and personable, he/she will be good for a customer service job.

Shit like that! :wall:

I think it depends on the exact job that you are applying for. If it is a warehouse worker, they don't want talkitive people that might get distracted. If you are selling stuff to people, they want a person with a personality.

Personality tests, most all palces use them, especially retail. It's common sense really, if they ask you if you've ever stolen and it's a reail job, put no. If they ask you any sort of questions about intro/extrovertion, respond as an extrovert. they want "outgoing friendly people." Probably why i don't get retail jobs, i'd sooner tell someone off then asnwer their stupid retail questions.

Instead i have an alsmot to easy lab assistant job at school. Almost a non-job.
