  1. Fraps wont run on Mac. I did some research for you, came up with: SnapzProx - Costs money http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ Free Alternative http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/ I can't actually recommend either, because I don't use a mac/havn't used program before. however hopefully someone else here can be of assistance :) Regards - Nucking Hehe. Thanks. "Nucking Futs" Nice name, lmao.
  2. Video camera of myself and the real world.
  3. Few more things. I've known him for a year this November, and he hasn't lied to me once. Yeah, that may sound like "Oh, you THINK he hasn't lied to you, but acutally he probably has." and stuff. But he's been honest about everything I've asked him, and I've been honest to him about everything he's asked me. He would prefer it if I was 18, yeah. But you can't change what you can't control. He knows he could be sent to prison, but I guess he's willing to take that risk, seeing as we've been going out for 5 months on November 9th. I may be 15, but I'm a mature 15 year old. I had to defend myself since my mom passed away when I was 10. I've learned to stand on my own two feet. I'm independent, I know what I want. I know what I want in a relationship, and I know that he's 23, honest, caring, loving and he wouldn't do anything to hurt me.
  4. Can I ask an honest question, and I'm not trying to take the Michael out of you, I'm genuinely making a point: Have you ever felt this way about someone before? If this is the first person you've ever loved in that special way, how do you know what you're feeling is altruistic? You've got no feeling to compare it against. What if you're mistaking trust for something completely different? That's why 15 year olds need to go out with other 15 year olds, before they throw their lot in with someone older who can use that confusion to manipulate them. If you seriously want my advice, stop this and go out with someone your own age. Be 15 and just have fun in life, like you're meant to at that age. You'll be much happier for it in the long run, I guarantee you. I don't date people younger than 17, they're just too immature. And to answer your question: No. I haven't felt like this about anyone before. I started dating when I was 12, went out with a 14 year old. Big mistake. I've been out with 14,17,19,21,22 and 23 year olds before. I think I know what I'm getting myself into.
  5. Sorry. I want to make movies to post on sites such as imeem and youtube.
  6. I trust him more than I trust anyone. And he's not a pedo, I got to know him first and yeah... But maybe you guys are right. I don't want him to spend 21 years behind bars (Or however long it is)
  7. Few forces are stronger than a man trying to find porn. About proxies, I know there's a site that creates a new one every couple days/week, I can't think of the name though. And if time is the only factor limiting your home computer use, you could try accessing it remotely. That's what my friends and I did all last year with logmein.com. Our school didn't figure it out 'til the end of the year. : Sadly, logmein.com is blocked =\
  8. How can I record movies on a Mac?
  9. My bf is 23. I'm 15. He lives in Michigan, USA. I live in Tasmania, Australia. 1) The distance I hate, what can I do about it 2) Is it okay if I date him, but we don't actually do 'it'?
  10. Should of said 'that aren't blocked from school' Are you just gonna put content on it that's on websites that the school has blocked? Just use a proxy. Proxies are blocked from school. And I wanna make my own rs page site thing.' Why must you use the school computer?And if you can't get around blocks you shouldn't really do websites IMO.I managed to find porn past the school's blocks and personally I'm not the best hacker. Because I have limited access to a home comp? Proxies are blocked, so what else do you suggest?
  11. Should of said 'that aren't blocked from school' ...What are you trying to do? Wierd though, my school doesn't block DeviantArt but it blocks anything that has a 'Forum' link -.- make a site with all my rs things i.e: skills, stats, etc
  12. if I remember my google account login, can i use it?
  13. Should of said 'that aren't blocked from school' Are you just gonna put content on it that's on websites that the school has blocked? Just use a proxy. Proxies are blocked from school. And I wanna make my own rs page site thing.' They block things like chat rooms and things that may be offensive. don't ask me why, they blocked www.deviantart.com (nothing wrong with that)
  14. Should of said 'that aren't blocked from school'
  15. Noticed in your signature that you didn't have the most common spelling mistake of grammar: 'grammer'
  16. Let me know when someone you're very close to dies so I can make rude comments about the both of you. And I'm sure Obama is thinking, "Score! My grandma dies so now I can use this to get more votes! YES!" evil_mumm_ra, you son of a [bleep] Why would O'bama need MORE votes when he's already caning McCain?
  17. Poor O'bama. Dunno about you guys, but on the Aussie news last night, O'bama was like "Hi Ohio" when he was in Florida. Shows how much he misses her.
  18. I'm a noob ... Does anyone know how I can make my own webiste for free? (Sorry if this doesn't belong here) (Some URL's of free-site-making-thingys will be apperciated...) (that aren't blocked from my school. like, freewebs, geocities, etc)
  19. I was asleep when I wrote that. Sorry. Yeah, Yule = Xmas. Samhain = Halloween. Ostara = Easter, etc.
  20. Lag Noobs Spam Disconnecting every 5 minutes
  21. It isn't homework, lol. And it's monday here :P *ish at school* Thanks for your input. (I put this up because I have to do a "What Other People Think" thing.
  22. Just something I had to do for Society and History class. Please tell me if you agree with what is written here. And please, if you have time, fill in the short questionaire below. ~Are you male or female? ~How long have you been playing MMORPG's for? ~Where do you live? (Canada, Australia, America, England, etc) Do women want different things in games than men do? The Executive Producer of Her Interactive, which makes the Nancy Drew series of games aimed at teenage girls, says they do. Speaking at the Game Convention currently going on in Liepzig, Germany, Robert Riedl believes women and girls want a game that is based in reality, not fantasy, and has a well-built plot, among other basics. Its possible that women as a gender may think differently about video games than males do. But I have to wonder why. Some say women cant do the maths that men can do, and therefore woman would never make it in a video game, or in real life, for that matter (wrong). Plenty of girls I know love MMORPGs, read fantasy and science fiction, and like to kill monsters on video games just because they can. And plenty of guys want the same: a storyline, a reason to kill things, and some realistic features in the game. Despite the market research, women are out there playing all kinds of video games, including RPGs, FPS titles, and anything else they can get their hands on. I wasn't the only woman at GenCon by a long shot. Girls like D&D too, and traditional table top games, and role playing. On the other hand, you see more males in video games then females. Well, in most. Why is this? Do males think the female characters are there just so they can walk around in skimpy clothing, killing things? That also makes me wonder: Are the girls only in skimpy clothing because the game makers think thats what people want to see? So what does that tell women about what they should be striving for? Clearly less clothing at any rate. But the problem isn't just that traditional gaming is a male-oriented space. We have to consider what's going on outside gaming, in the world of consumer culture. I wonder if the root of the problem of women not adopting mainstream games might be this: "Riedl's final point that he found was that a lot of women gamers did not subscribe to the "Bigger Better Faster More" model of technology. Riedl also found that a lot of games had too high minimum specifications for the computers that they owned. Riedl said, "Many of our users are still using Windows 95." Okay, that's a real problem. It's all about the hardware. If you can't even play a game on your machine, your interest level isn't going to be very high. If you are a guy, you are encouraged to buy a 52" TV, a cool car, and a high end computer. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to buy $500 purses. See a trend here? I worry that our culture tells us what we should like and shouldn't like, and puts us in little boxes, thus discouraging people from trying new things. On the other hand, I think women are different than men, and it's cool. Testosterone does interesting things to people, the same goes for estrogen. You can't deny biology. You also can't discount how our culture tells us to behave. Women are given lots of messages about what should be important to them and how they should behave, just like men are. These messages are strong and even if you don't want to listen, it's like a little tune in the background that keeps playing in commercials, TV shows, and on the net. Act this way, want these things and buy this stuff. So should Mr. Riedl from Her Interactive be so concerned with what "women" want? He wants girls to buy his video games, so sure, why not some market research? Romance novel covers are specifically designed to attract women readers, I am sure. Just don't tell me that I should be reading a romance novel instead of science fiction because I am a girl, or that I should like Bejewelled (most women like casual games) instead of games like RuneScape and EverQuest, which unlike Bejewelled and DinerDash, involves fighting. I also have a real problem with someone blandly stating that girls can't handle a complicated UI ["A lot of women who didn't play games said that they didn't because the UI was cumbersome for a lot of titles, and they just wanted to jump straight in and play"], and therefore they won't play a video game. That's a slippery slope falling right down to "girls aren't able to handle a UI that a guy can." If you tell someone they can't do it, and make things for them that insure there's no learning curve, then they never will. It's not fair to ask guys to put up with a terrible UI just because they will, either. Its the same notion as if someone said, "well guys only want mindless violence in games, so let's not bother to do any back story and they don't want it anyway." If that was the case, where would we be now? Stuck with some really terrible video games, I imagine. Do we want to design great games, or do we want to design games that attract people into the genre that normally wouldn't be too interested? I suppose a great game developer can do both, but it seems that the Her Interactive people are taking a fairly narrow view of a particular market and have positioned themselves there. The Nancy Drew games are designed for girls, and that means that a guy might be uncomfortable playing them, since they are so obviously feminine. The question arises; do we need feminine spaces in the gaming community? Do we need the equivalent of a ladies room in gaming? We certainly have a lot of men's spaces already. Her Interactive, and the people who make the horse-focused Bella Sara trading card game that's not even a TCG in the classic sense (there's no real game play) say yes, make products specifically designed for girls. The rest of the gaming world says, c'mon in if you want, ladies, but be prepared to play with the guys. Okay, sounds fun! And you guys should be prepared to play with us gals, too. Studies of how different segments of the population approach video games are valuable. They can make existing and new video games better, for everyone. But polarizing games ends up diminishing the experience for everyone, if we all have to stick to what we "should like." Everyone is a unique individual, and whether you are a guy or gal, your personality is going to determine what you enjoy in your leisure time and how you play games. I like playing MMORPGs, and I have my own style of play, which is not exactly like anyone else's. The fantastic thing about an MMORPG is that you can play it just as you like. There's room to be as girly or as manly as you want to be in RuneScape. Can the same be said for a genre game like the Nancy Drew series?
