I may be interested in your AK
It's a cm038, never been fielded, I've got 2-3 mags and the only thing i've done to it is remove the flash hider because I was going to dog dick suppressor it.
edit; sent a pm
I think it's sad that more kids at my highschool wear more M81 than I do. None of them airsoft.

Check out Vassal. If I can use it to play 40K online, you should be able to create a module for your game.

So I really want to do this film but the camera I need is about $10,000
should I start a kickstarter for the film?
[editline]26th April 2013[/editline]
Like is there a way to start a kickstarter if you're not 18?
$10,000 camera
are you buying a RED camera or something
also what film are you making that requires a $10,000 camera
RED camera's run around $50,000.00 btw
and a camera that can shoot 2k at 30 fps and 60 fps
[editline]26th April 2013[/editline]
all i really need to know is if you can do a kickstarter under the age of 18, or if i should just wait till im 18 and start then?
Oh god I'm taking the SATs on May 4th and I haven't prepared at all yet what do I do? I took the PSATs before so I kind of had an idea but I did around average (a bit below avg on math because I didn't have a calculator). I've saved all my vocab papers from this year that my teacher said were words used on the SATs so I'll look over those again, but for math I don't know what to study and that's my worst subject.
ok but $10,000 is a huge investment, have you done films before
i don't think anyone is willing to give you money on kickstarter without previous experience and etc
plus live action movie projects generally don't do well on kickstarter anyway

I've used Vassal, and I probably could. I just figured I'd make a standalone game to get rid of record-keeping and calculations, since I have the skills to do so, being educated as a game programmer and all.
The main thing is that a lot of the mechanics I have are visual, since the game is realistic space combat and so momentum, heat, and power are strong components. I have a few of what I think are clever mechanics to represent these, but they rely on things like chart orientation or 'ghost' counters so don't translate well to digital form.
Like, for example, there's a solution chart for coilgun weapons. It's a hex grid. You start in the middle, and then move on the grid according to your current velocity. Then you do the same, but reversed, for your opponent. The hex you end on contains a number, indicating the closure rate and allowing you to determine the time to impact. The closure rate becomes the basic kinetic damage. So instead of needing to do tricky trigonometry to calculate the projectile closure rate and fire arcs, and then calculate damage, it's handled through the same movement system you do every turn, and I've already done the math for the player.
Result: Ram a coilgun slug down someone's throat at 10km/s and watch their ship get gutted like a fish. Get too much lateral movement, though, and you can't get a viable fire solution.

ive never tried a full on film before, but i've been working with studio cameras for the past 3 years and using editing software for almost 5. I've got a screenplay, crew, and costumes and what not, just need actors, and a camera.

Write a practice essay with an SAT practice prompt and within 25 minutes! Compare it to online examples of various scores and maybe ask a teacher if they will grade it. The key is to use 2-3 SPECIFIC examples and stay focused- getting unfocused WILL get you a 1 out of 6
Study algebra topics and geometry topics. Make sure you can operate with equations, absolute values, various mathematical symbols, and the such. There are study guides for the math online
As far as reading- do a few practice questions for that. Actually, not a few. Loads. Learn some vocab and stuff. I have a class where we do one a day and it helped me so much.
source: Got an 1890 first try (720 reading, 590 writing [study for the essay this killed me], 580 math [STUDY IT WILL RAISE YOUR SCORE]) and taking study classes and retaking in June. Need a 2000, preferably 2100!

You need to have actually produced some form of content to show, and either have built a following or get lucky enough to build a following to raise money on Kickstarter.
Yeah im borrowing a camera to film some content but its not the camera i actually want to use for the whole film.
[editline]26th April 2013[/editline]
Just want to film scenes so i can build that following
REDs go for way less than $50K. Sure it's around $25K but get something like a Blackmagic Cinema Camera, it's about $5000.

Thank you! That helped me a lot with what to focus on.
I get the SAT practice questions daily in my email, I'll need to catch up on those now. Those are always easy for me but every now and then one of those 'What's wrong with the sentence?' questions get me when there's actually nothing wrong with it.
Don't sweat the essay, it's not as important as prep programs would have you believe. I flubbed my essay pretty good and still got a 2240 on my first try.

I just took the ACT on Tuesday for free, the state basically paid for every Junior to take it.
Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I'll be taking the SAT next week so I've been studying for that.

I love my Networking class, but I can't stand the people in it anymore.
It's like Land of the Sperg Children: The Movie
she said it was her or airsoft.
I chose airsoft.
No umm not really lol. After talking to my roommate last night I have been enlightened and I know that she is right. We simply aren't that compatible. There are certain things about her that I loved though that I'd never had before in somebody, such as her outgoingness and her passion for something that she really loves (theater). The main thing is that she appreciates me completely. I have never been with someone who appreciated me so much and thought so much of me. It's a double-edged sword though because she has some serious self-esteem problems and I wanted to help her. Apparently it's a very common thing to date people with something wrong with which you want to try and help them fix, and it almost never works out. I have to find someone that I can stand with, and not behind or under trying to constantly lift them up. The single thing that I hated about her was her lack of self-appreciation. I wanted to help her out of it.
I hope we can be friends. She wants to be friends, and she told me that she doesn't want me out of her life. At first she asked if I could be her friend and I said no. Her main issue that she brought up first was that I am too good of a person for her, that she could never give me back what I was giving her; this I understand now. Last night I was blinded though and couldn't stand the thought of losing her.
I had never yelled at a significant other until last night. She started to say how I had left my jacket up in her room and that she would give it back to me. I snapped, because it infuriated me that she was speaking of such things when in that moment all I cared about was her. I screamed at her to get out of my truck, and it hurt her a lot.
Things are okay though, really. We had decided on a break last night regardless, and after I yelled at her we did meet up again and talk more. I only wish she could see in herself what I see. But even then I am not convinced that she is the right person for me after all. It's hard to not find the right one.
If you take anything out of this, don't date someone to try and help them or fix something about themselves. She is a wonderful person whom I adore but I could never have a life-long relationship with her which I've come to understand.
Why does it seem like this is Deli lyfe - Everyones life goes to shit edition. Recently /EVERYONE/ has been getting fucked over one way or another, i'm in a shitty situation myself and I feel bad for you dudes, hope it gets better to everyone dealing with shit right now.
Myself and a few people i've known over the years always had that one girl they thought they could help, always most commonly a severe lack of self-esteem or confidence. Spend a good majority of your time constantly complimenting them, trying your best to make them happy and keep them up lifted but at the end of the day they're not all going to be changing over night.
Sad times my friend.
