[quote name='munch']I wouldn't round up an 88.93.[/quote]

The top 30% will get A's, the next 40% will get B's, and I can't remember how the professor does C's, D's, or F's.

So he'll only give a certain percentage of people A's? That's way gay.

And I thought I was a jerk.

I had a professor round up an 86 to a 95 once
 
[quote name='munch']So he'll only give a certain percentage of people A's? That's way gay.[/quote]

It's the Georgia Tech way. One class my friend is taking, to get an A, you need a 95 or above because the grades are so high in the class, and the class is not easy it just has a lot of people competing to be the best.
 
[quote name='munch']Fable II is the hotness.[/quote]die die die!!! Forgetting the actual game itself, I think Peter is a huge misogynist or something. My girl character is about as freaking butch as can be, and thats at level two physique. EVERY article of clothing looks hideous. It's just stupid. Its cool to have sister hannah as a big brute, that's fine. But dont make the hero grotesquely proportioned also.

What ticks me off is when you join in as a female henchmen, those character models (well, not the dark one who is just ugly) look a million times better.

[quote name='Dkellar']Maybe $600 per mile.[/quote]That's closer the mark. Having no insurance is awesome.

[quote name='tiredfornow']microsoft and sony as publishers charge for DLC.[/QUOTE]

Yup. That's why there's a free DLC item for LBP every week.
And that's why Crackdown had free DLC, GH3 and RB have had free DLC, and eventually, some map packs for Gears (and maybe Halo 3?) were free. If there were a charge and Epic was *really* against DLC for monies, they would have sponsored or found a sponsor.
And if I remember correctly, developers have the choice of what price to charge for their DLC -- hence the poll Capcom held for deciding the price of BCR. So... if they can decide to charge $10 instead of $15, and Penny Arcade can charge some insane amount for their game, I see no reason Epic couldn't put up the maps for free, or at least only charge 400 points.

[quote name='Dkellar']B (88.93%) The 4.0 system sucks ass. I bet the professor shafted me.[/QUOTE]

Yes, let's move to the brilliant as fuck Cornell system, where you can get higher than a 4.0 That'll fix 'em.
 
Does that mean you aren't getting the new maps?

I've got enough games to keep me occupied that I don't really need to buy dlc.

They have no control over the price of their content. They explicitly stated this during the Gears 1 development. They worked out an agreement last time to make DLC free after a period of time, but that is something that MS has to agree to.

Also most companies are not looking to sponsor video game map packs. When even the NFL is laying people off, it just shows that belt tightening is happening across the market.
 
I only have 450 points on my account... if they were 400, I'd have probably sucked it up and bought them, but unless there's a slick deal on points anytime soon, or some points giveaway we can all rape to death (per usual), I'll probably wait to see if the discovery channel or someone else steps up and sponsors them so they become free.
 
What place is w_bb in the OTT FFL? He can't stop talking about that shit, so he must be like #1, right?

Marklershed, out of curiosity, how much would you let your PSP go for? The console itself, I don't need any games or memory or anything. :0)

Even Valve has stated that they want their TF2 DLC free, but that the platform holder has the final call on what goes down. Same thing happened when ya boy, Clifford Bleszinski, announced the maps and said they were pushing to make them free. He said they were pushing for the hidden fronts(four maps)/first pack(two maps) packs to be free, but the final call wasn't in his hands. As for LBP, four terrible costumes for free, with the premium, better looking costumes for 1.99+. Crackdown had free/pay content. The meatier content was 10 bucks, and the not so meaty content was free. They threw a few bones at us, so what?
 
If i ever order anything from newegg again, i'm definitely not using their free shipping. They used to use UPS for the free shipping, which was pretty good, but now that they're using this hybrid DHL/USPS system, it sucks ass.

The package was shipped from Memhpis, only around 5 hours away, but it takes over a week for me to get it.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']mojimbo - It's Dekembe Motumbo[/QUOTE]Hmm, would you be interested in selling it?

Needless to say, I was blown away when I discovered that the Sony Playstation Portable was already 4 years old.

Mine must be like 3 years, which would explain why my battery took a shit and absolutely refuses to hold a charge at all. I was hoping to use it for a ?andora but it only powers on for like a minute or two. The :cool: thing is you can't buy PSP batteries anywhere anymore except for the pirated Hong Kong batteries on Deal Extreme. :0)

A week or two ago, I shipped Munch a package, who lives just about 1 hour away and it took 6 days for USPS to get it there.
 
I'd like to think it's because of all the holiday packages being shipped, but i don't know.

dude, corrosivefrost, wikipedia doesn't lie, man!

Microsoft has especially borne the brunt of criticism regarding downloadable content.[13] They were the first to successfully introduce downloadable content to consoles with the Xbox, and also the first to charge money for it.
Microsoft has since then been known to force developers to release their content at a charge, when the developers would rather release their content for free.[14] Some content has even been withheld from release because the developer refused to charge the amount Microsoft required.[15][14] Epic Games, a developer known for continual support of their older titles with downloadable maps and updates, believed that releasing free downloadable content over the course of a game's lifetime helped increase sales throughout, and had succeeded well with that business-model in the past, but was forced to implement Microsoft's strategy of limited-time, fee-based downloads when releasing content for their Microsoft-published game, Gears of War.[16][14]
Bungie, developers of Halo 3, abated anger over the high price of their "Legendary Map Pack", by reiterating that they had no choice in the pricing of the content.[17]

:rofl: even Bungie was upset! wikipedia is the truth, man.
