EVE Online : I've been sucked in.
i need to restragize or something, currently i am manufacturing. i am making imicus frigates, for the gallente race, and it would cost me 83073 per spaceship if i bought the materials. the most i could sell for 65000, after taxes thats just under 60000 :lol: . im just making a profit now because i am mining and refining my own materials, but id make a bit more and save time just selling what i mine. and since you dont gain experience from doing stuff, its more or less pointless to continue the manufacturing part. i want to make my blue prints better, but all of the services are full. im definently going to have to join a corporation, small buisnesses just dont cut it in this game :P

Do you use math in your job?
my full time job is working in a grave yard, so it is mostly manual work. we do have to use basic math skills i guess, measuring and multiplying and stuff to get the grave in the right spot in the newer fields. i pulled a good old a^2+b^2=c^2 the other day, boss didnt believe it would work out, but obviously it did :o . my first part time job is working in a pizza place as a cook. do a lot of counting there, which i guess you can call adding if you want. do a lot of basic math there, multiplying and dividing and stuff when ordering/recieving the bulk food. my second part time job (which, sadly enough, i think is basically over, no time to do it), is a TON of basic math. constantly counting out pieces, multiplying stacks, adding, counting boxes, counting totals, and best of all figuring out the payout :D . when you do the same thing over all day (open dvd case, insert dvd, close dvd case x5000) you are constantly figuring out the payout. "got 1000 done, that means $50". so all in all, i do basic math a lot. i do it a lot when i dont need to, because i like math. whether or not that helps you, i dont know.

*sniff sniff* ah, i smell a tip.it corporation starting :D anyways, for those who just want to do the trial, they kind of nerf miners a little bit. trial users cant use some of the bigger mining vessels, so they dont get a lot of macro-mining trial users and screw up the economy. at least thats what some of the teal-text people said in the rookie channel :D

Memorable moments in video\pc games

What movie(s) did you last see?
Requiem for a Dream - definently in my top 10, just a great movie. sure youve heard enough about it though, so thats it. decided to watch it because episode 17 of Lost (should be 3 weeks from now for the countries on schedule) is going to be directed by Darren Aronofsky, who also directed Pi, episode about hurley and therefore the numbers. the first "director" lost has had, according to imdb. that seems kind of odd that the other episodes never had one, but whatever. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - classic comedy, cant watch comedies too many times though. this is probably the 5th or 6th time ive seen it, and you can definently tell its not as funny. still a good movie though, if you like british comedy you would probably like this.

EVE Online : I've been sucked in.
took me like 2 hours to get through the tutorial :lol: . never got any error messages though. i have the basics of the game down ok now, but i still have no idea what im doing half the time :lol: . i just bought a 300,000 ship (all my money at the time), turns out i cant use it. and i cant find the skill that i need to train in the skill list, so ill have to figure that out. @nadril: i got your pm's but i was watching movies all of yesterday, when i noticed you were logged off. id start something then go off and watch the movies, so i just didnt notice. wasnt trying to ignore you :P

What movie(s) did you last see?
Good Bye Lenin! - i dont let my political views get in way of deciding wether or not a movie is good, so i did really think this movie was good. its pro-socialist anti-capitalist down to the core, but the movie has good parts to it. the plot/story was interesting, kept you wondering how he is going to make everything work out. acting was pretty good, and the filming was pretty ok. Collateral - this is a holly wood movie, big name actors and a fairly straightfoward story. it is exciting though, and i liked it. nothing to special about it, but they didnt do anything wrong in it either. everything was good, just nothing to make it different than other movies. it would be a good one to watch with someone who doesnt know anything about movies, and would generally be confused with independant movies.

Best way to fall asleep?
im sure exercise would work, it would wear you out. getting up at a reasonable time, and keeping active throughout the day helps. on the weekends i sleep like crap, sleep a long time and still dont feel good the next day. during the 5 weekdays i am working and school from 8 in the morning to 9 at night, so i sleep a lot better. get about 2 hours less, but feel rested the next day. i still need to learn how to sleep better, if i dont get my 8 hours im screwed, no matter how good i sleep.

I WANT TO PLAY UT!!!!!!
it was iffy at first whether or not he was faking, then about 30 seconds in he started breathing heavily, after that i was convinced he was acting. didnt watch the rest of it.

Looking for a good online game
eve on... oh wait you cant play that? that sucks :D . anyways, a good flash game i always played during school was called "defend your castle." a quick search on google will find it. i completely owned that game, got to like level 80 or something.

EVE Online : I've been sucked in.
yeah, the tutorial actually was pretty good. i had to leave for work before i got done though, so i dont know if i will be able to finish it or not. i didnt have much time to play around with anything, and thats how i normally learn games. i should be able to paly for about 2 hours tonight, that will be nice. if i see you on ill probably be asking you questions, so if you dont want to be bothered you should probably block me :P
-
R.I.P.
im still guessing that its fake, like a lot of the other ones. but if its not... its his choice if he doesnt want to live anymore, even if its for a "stupid" reason. i think its stupid no matter what the cause is, but i do respect a persons right to do it.

EVE Online : I've been sucked in.
i signed up this morning and then logged on for a minute (ended up being late for work lol), go to the point where you do your portrait. so many options, its so customizible. and thats only step 2 of the process! i really, really enjoy customizing my charachter, so i may be at it for a while. and TimDever is my acount name, i think im going to have to make one for each charachter i make? well, if i do it will probably be Tim Dever (your name had a space, wouldnt let me do that with my account name), and i should be in game in about 30 minutes. i got your two names written down, i might be asking how to play lol. EDIT: went through the tutorial for the past 40 minutes, i have no idea whats going on lol. at one point some one told me to take from their floating cargo or floating storage or something like that, warned me i was stealing, i thought i clicked not to take it. i dont know what happened, but i got warp blocked or something. kinda sucked when the next step in the tutorial was warping. anyways, my charachter is Tim Dever, ill be on after work tonight. (work all day, come home, work all night). this game is massive though, it seems awesome. now i just need to figure out how to play...

EVE Online : I've been sucked in.
part of their refferal program, takes you to that page on all 7 sites i linked from. been waiting almost 20 hours for the first ones i did, did a few throughout the day. just did this one, hopefully it works. you would think they would want you to be able to play the game, but at this point its starting to seem like its just trying to annoy you.

What movie(s) did you last see?
@mr putter: after having watched the other three, if i watched seven samurai again id probably agree almost exactly with you. i think it took me a little longer to get used to it than most people, but now that ive seen more of it i would be ok with it. i might watch it again sometime, but as you said, it takes up your whole night :D

My wonderful education
i only had one good computer teacher out of all 4 years of high school. last one was so bad me and a friend petitioned the guidance counselors, then the principle. they didnt keep her the next year, so at least those kids wont have to worry about it. sad thing is she probably went to a different school and got a job there. :?

What movie(s) did you last see?
Once Upon a Time in America - havent watched a movie lately, decided it was time. this is a great movie, the plot twists in it are remarkable. normally i dont notice good or bad acting, unless its really bad, for some reason i was thinking about how good the acting was in this movie. robert de niro was great, and everyone else was too. i felt kind of bad about it but i thought that young deborah was nice looking, in a wait 4 years for her to grow up kind of way. turns out she was at the time 14 year old Jennifer Connolly, so she did end up becoming really hot. that made me feel better. anyways, a great movie. they had to throw in the anti-buisness pro-socialist union stuff in there, but i dont let that affect my judgment of the movie. cant help but notice it when its in everymovie though...

Do YOU believe in God?
i dont believe in god, but i dont not believe in god either. i dont bother to choose either way.

help :(
if it really, really, really hurts you probably want to go see a doctor. it could be your appendix burst, and that can kill you. better safe than sorry. of course, you wouldnt be sorry afterwards you would be dead.

EVE Online : I've been sucked in.
went to two different fansites that redirected me to a place to put in my email for a 14 day trial, i think they have some sort of affiliate program with them. oh well, as long as i get my trial im happy :D . still havent gotten the email though... decided im going to be the gallente race, intakis subrace as my character. dont know why, probably will start out horrible for a miner, but im not to worried. if i do get hooked and end up playing longer than the trial ill just start over if im not happy with it. EDIT: time to go to bed, and no key yet. lets hope it comes tommorow.

EVE Online : I've been sucked in.
13 minutes left on the download, but i wont be able to get around to it tonight. and i dont have the invite or whatever it is you need yet. im going to go look at the guide, and see what kind of um, ship i guess, that i want to be. and just wondering, is this a multi-server game where you are on a certain server forever? i didnt look into that yet.
