ugh I can't suffer another day without sleeping, considering what went through me today I just hope fate doesn't turn against me and be a bitch about it

Since all the Splinter-Cell games went on sale, did anyone buy Chaos Theory? Would be fun to play Mercs and Spies with someone here. :smile:

me and my friends share a small channel for gameplay stuff. We're not trying to really be a thing, we just upload videos for our own sake. The only thing i post on my actual youtube are misc game glitches that i find (since i seem to be able to break almost any game and find the weirdest shit). Or GTA IV videos i made.

I upload a ~variety~ of content, but recently I've uploaded stuff like this. [video=youtube;NxWcZDd7YQE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxWcZDd7YQE[/video] good times

[QUOTE=Teto;44011049]Any suggested caffeine-free drinks to replace tea/coffee? I read this post, remembered that I wanted to try eating and drinking healthier, remembered that I'm an irritable person and that caffeine is something cited as a reason for irritability, and decided right here right now, I am quitting tea and coffee as a regular drink. Little did I know 10 minutes ago that I had already had my last cup of tea. I had an unstarted cup of tea sitting in front of me as I read and pondered, and decided that I wouldn't drink it. I would not have a decided final cup of tea. I walked shirtless into the cold winter evening and poured that cup of tea on my head in a ridiculous kind of ritualistic cleansing thing. From now I am tea-free.[/QUOTE] Decaf I would reccomend against quitting cold turkey, just limit yourself to one caffeine related drink a day for a while (say a month) before drinking half-caf drinks or splitting it up so you only drink once every few days before quitting for good

[QUOTE=Vilusia;44011798]They call it customer service for a reason dude. You are getting payed to put up with people and help them. None of this "You dont know what I deal with" shit will cut it on the job.[/QUOTE] It still funny to me how obvious it is when you are dealing with someone who has lived a pampered life and never worked a single retail/food service job in their lives. Nothing really redeems you from being a scum of the earth type customer. An employee is paid to do his job, but pretty much every job in these positions isn't designed to deal with true asswipes - the point is helping out legitimate customers who you can turn loyal. Dealing with asswipes just happens to be an anomaly of the job that people accept because its much better to just let them do their thing than making a big deal over nothing. Some people like to exploit that, and I'm glad I work at a place that is very much "fuck em" when it comes to those who love to pull the "CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!" card. In reality, no. Businesses should strive to provide excellent service to members of the community and foster a healthy relationship with their clientele. Customers who exploit this or are real assholes/nusances disrupt this, and under no obligation are businesses obligated to kiss their ass back. Where I work, we'd much rather have a good environment that attracts good customers, rather than bad customers, even if technically bad customers have money too. Because your bad customers aren't loyal at all, which means they are ineherently less valuble to care for. By the way, I'm speaking about real douchbags here, not people who just happen to be grumpy that day. Like, throw a tantrum over the call center accidentally sending their order to the wrong store and then grabbing the phone from our hands while we are on the line with said call center to try and settle it, then demand we deliver him the food to his house kind of douchebag. Yes, this happened. Little did he know we had the pizza he ordered as an extra that we just cut as he walked in. And then he blew up on our driver when she wasn't quick enough. Our DM said enough was enough and put him on a blacklist. I don't think you should scorn every customer that walks in or make a big deal when customers aren't the most agreeable to work with, that said. A lot of times you aren't getting those outliers, just people who are having a bad day or honestly have an issue and are short on time or something, not actively trying to be a dick. Being able to deal with those people gracefully [I]is[/I] part of the job.

The Ender's Game movie only stuck to like 40% of the novel and that's pretty disappointing but it was nice and flashy so I guess it was ok.

[QUOTE=Catscratch;44014767]Bonzo shower scene (which was PG-ified for kids IMO)[/QUOTE] To be fair, you can't show kids dying in a movie without getting completely fucked by censors, books can get away with more shit

My hopes aren't really that high, though, it'll probably just make me want to read the book again.

[QUOTE=kaze4159;44014797]To be fair, you can't show kids dying in a movie without getting completely fucked by censors, books can get away with more shit[/QUOTE] BUT THAT WAS SUCH A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN THE BOOK. The realisation that he, as a kid (Ender), just killed another kid. And then I won't say exactly what happens but in the movie nawh he doesn't get beaten to death and then they talk about him only[I] maybe [/I]dying, as opposed to Ender being told flat-out later 'oh yeah he died'.

Then again I had read all 7 or 8 of the books in the course of 2 weeks when I discovered them. My gosh I love that series. Literally my favourite book series of all time.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;44014838]I've read the book but you should tag spoilers please[/QUOTE] I'm all for anti-spoilers but the book came out almost 30 years ago. The book is literally older than like 90% of the people in this thread. :P

Your first post and it's awful you are on your way

[QUOTE=HyperTails;44015250]Your first post and it's awful you are on your way[/QUOTE] Compared to some of the shit you see in Fast threads / Rust, that's a pretty okay first post At least it's written well

So, after being up until 3am trying to reinstall windows, not getting enough sleep, then waking up early due to my body clock. I finally get my system back to, mostly, normal and my SSD dies...I sure am glad there was a computer shop open today. But fuck, had to install Windows 7, so I could put my Windows 8 ISO on a USB stick, then update to Windows 8.1 when that was done, all for it to get wiped away in a second.

[QUOTE=kaze4159;44014690]Movies pretty much never follow the book exactly, otherwise they'd all be 4 hours long[/QUOTE] Look at Dune for example.
