Image Database?

Sarge's Ghosts — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:29:55 GMT

Well I had an idea for an image database designed for map posters.
Images such as halo3 weapons, medals, ranks, map images made by bungie, gametype images and all those others missed.

It would comprise of a total of about 500 images spread across 10 albums on photobucket. It would be linked on every site I am a member to.

All I would do was upload mass amounts of images to photobucket, but each different category would be in a different album. There would be a ranks album, a weapons and vehicles album, a medals album and so on.

I have already made a few but have uploaded only one to photobucket so far.

Should I make this and post it on FH, and a few other sites?
The format is here

Quote:

Album Name(Hyperlinked);Album Description
repeated...

So they would be named properly and organized.

I am in need of suggestion still though.
Suggest away, but here is what I am already doing.

Maps
Gametypes
Weapons
Vehicles
Equipment
Ranks

Any others I should do?

Ubuntu

Nitrous — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:10:47 GMT

I recently switched over to Ubuntu 9.10 because Vista was getting tired. What are some kick ass programs every ubuntu user needs? Like docks, skins, internet programs, general applications, etc. What do I need to make Ubuntu feel even more like home.

People these days...

Is it just me and my school, or does it seem people(mainly high-schoolers and teens) just don't genuinely care for each other any more. Kids at my school, your so called *friends* aren't exactly friendly. Everything is about who gets put down to make the next big joke, and who's funnier and who's better for that moment and it all changes in a split second. I've noticed this mainly comes from kids who most likely have insecurities(majority of high-schoolers).
They don't seem to care what you did, but if they can embarrass you or make themselves and others laugh or feel better by picking on you they do it to an extreme. So is it just my school? It's spreading like the common cold here... There's no hanging out, it's all about what so and so did or what he or she did last class period or someone on the team. Rarely do the conversations ever consist of small talk, or friendly talk, it's all one circle of smash n' bash each other, laugh, and move on to the next victim...

Dilemma; Thy Name Is Consumerism

Nitrous — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:58:23 GMT

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place and I need some help.

I want to get a new game and I've limited myself to MW2 or Assassin's Creed 2.

I thoroughly enjoyed Assassin's Creed. I love open ended worlds, the free running, the counter attacks, and the fun story line as well as the assassination missions. Even the mundane task of eaves dropping (though now removed) was very enjoyable (it put me in the mood; sucked me into the atmosphere).

Modern Warfare on the other hand (bare in mind I'm a PC gamer) felt lacking. I didn't appreciate the quickness of the game, the unpredictability of player movements or the total lack of a sound strategy other than "camp; bait; respawn", however, I have heard that this has been fixed and that the size of parties has been limited to 18 players (which is fantastic for gameplay). I also loved the story line of Call of Duty and found the campaign on veteran (especially Mile High Club) delightfully frustrating.

So here's my question. Based on your own personal knowledge. Which of the two games would have the more story driven campaign and which of the two games will have the longest amount of playtime? Also, which of the two games is more polished, more refined and has a sleeker feel to it?

Thanks.

*Note: I understand that Assassin's Creed does not have multiplayer so please do not use it as an excuse for replayability!

Babylon 5

kevin1gamer — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:12:45 GMT

In the science fiction TV series, Babylon 5, why do they change (adding, removing, adding again, and removing again) the main characters every few episodes (or perhaps every episode)? They don't do this too much during season 1 (I don't think), but in season 2 (and perhaps onward) they do it a lot. Why do they do that?

Dealing with greif

ZombieBiscuit — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:15:08 GMT

Well today ive been quite worried about my dog and has an unatural growth. It has not been confirmed what it is, but im really becoming stressed and worried. It could be a tumor or cancer. An option instead of surgery is putting him down and this makes me incredibly sad.

Im already beging to breakdown emotionally...

Is there any ways you guys have gotten through times of greif or any ways you have found it easier to deal with things like this, instead of balling your eyes out with tears.

I find that if my dog is to pass away i will become so anti social and stay in my room doing nothing for atleast a week.

How can i get over this?

Second question:
The growth is in the lower stomach area. he is finding it hard to move his back legs. He also finds it hard to move one of his front legs. Hes become quite uncoordinated and finds it hard to get up or move, he sometimes even falls over when turning quickly.

Anyone had past experiences with there dog like this? or have any idea what it could be?

BTW i am taking him to the vet tomorrow.

All-State Piano Song

Aaronator — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:47:51 GMT

Hey everyone. I've played piano for 10 years and I have reached the level of Professional Artist based on the pieces I play. I'm trying out for Georgia All-State Piano on December 5. For those of you who don't know what All-State is, it is a group of music educators all around the state that recognize students musical abilities. Basically you try out for judges and do your best. There are 4 chairs for piano (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place) along with 2 alternates who fill in for dropouts. All four chairs get to perform their song at a recital. Keep in mind that those four beat out all the other pianist in the state that tried out (a couple of hundred, atleast).

Well, I'm competing this year. I am performing the "Revolutionary Etude" by Chopin (here is how to pronounce it: Show-pan) also known as Chopin Etude Op. 10 No. 12. Here is a video of the Revolutionary Etude.

YouTube- Freddy Kempf plays the Revolutionary

Please ignore the fact that the guys looks like he is having a seizure most of the time. And don't say this belongs in the video session. I only put the video because you can't put a regular audio file in here.

Tell me what you think. Comments on difficulty, techniques, etc. If there are any fellow piano players out there I would like to know what they think about it.

Garage Band/Keyboard Problems.

SRC48 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:36:03 GMT

So I recently bought an imac... The new one comes with a wireless mouse and keyboard. When I try musical typing in garageband the sounds skip, cut out, and has similar problems. Garage band says there's an error synchronizing the MIDI with the keyboard. Any suggestions?
