Yeah, Nazi Zombies + PTRS usually gets you Rough Economy. I think I did it with the Scoped Springfield, but the point remains. Wasn't this supposed to be a Double XP weekend on the PS3? I've only been getting regular XP all weekend.

The problem I have with the MP40 is that it seems to have a lot more recoil. You either have to get them with the first five bullets or waste time getting your aim back while you're spraying, which lets your opponent take a chance at you. Type 100 I like better because it doesn't recoil as much. With the range argument - If I'm going to SMG-snipe someone, then it's going to be a sniper that I'm doing it on. I just stand still, get my aim, and let off 1 bullet at a time so the recoil can wear off. *Tap*pause*Tap*pause*Tap*Kill. Providing I do it fast enough and accurate enough, I can usually get them unless they flinch fast enough on the second tap to get out of the way.

Wow... just had a random, yet slightly hilarious incident a moment ago. I'm on the map with the bombed out church and the bell tower (sorry, forget the name). I'm up in the bell tower with my gewher, and I hear the call that the enemy got dogs. So I back into the corner where it's hard to shoot me and watch the stairs, getting ready to take out any dog who comes up. Well about 30 seconds later, a dog comes flying up the stairs. It reaches the top, jumps up while maintaining forward momentum... ... And goes right off the edge and falls. #-o Second dog managed to make the turn, but I took it out. I'd love to see a person do that one of these times though - come charging up with your bayonette, click to stab and go flying out the window. Whoops :?

In Pennsylvania, our permit test is 18 questions, where you must get at least 15 right. I missed 1 question, so it stopped my test after the 15th correct simply because it's not necessary. I missed the question because I didn't know that a "barbiturate" referred to alcohol, so it was one of those questions I could've easily missed. Then I failed my license test my first time because evidently that yellow light I tried to beat turned red on me (which was automatic fail). Second time I managed just fine. Had been driving on and off since I was 13 (even though I wasn't technically allowed to at the time). Didn't even look at the book once, and didn't need to because I had paid so much attention while my parents were driving. Learned basically from experience rather than by reading. That was two years ago, and I've yet to get a traffic ticket (providing you don't count the $5 parking ticket at school because there weren't any parking spaces left). Several heart attacks as I drive past a cop, however.

That's what you get when you post an obvious statement in HYT...

Well... I had one of those total fluke victories yesterday. Entered a sabotage game that was already in progress on Dome. Bomb was by our side (the side with the balcony), so I run over and grab it. I run along side the large drop off (totally unnoticed, evidently), run inside to the other target (again, unnoticed), get the bomb planted, and only then do I die. Won the game in 45 seconds (and got 3 kills from people crowding the thing; idiots :lol: ). Then I get some kid who sounds like he's 10 asking me to add him (PS3) and that he loves me. *shudders* And I agree that Courtyard is a horrible map. Too many blind corners; I usually get killed like once every 10 seconds.

Yeah, 20k seems to be the rough average for the gamble. I got 6 marigolds out of it. And for the "per hour" experience calculations - why not save up to 100 points and see where that gets you? I thought it said somewhere that there was a bonus for collecting 100 points, which means it takes anywhere from as low as 12 hours to as many as 35 hours to get (assuming you win every game or lose every game, respectively). That would definitely have an affect on per hour calculations. You'd be looking at 600k+ experience from the standard trade-in, plus whatever the bonus turns out to be.

Heh... I've had moments like that before. Team tactical (War) on Upheaval. We were fighting over the middle point. So I lob in my frag and it explodes, killing 3 of them. When I look at the kill indicator more closely, evidently I beamed someone in the head with the frag, which killed them first. At that point, I then run up into the sniper building, and quickly stab the 4th dude who was waiting at the top of the stairs. Killed their entire team in 10 seconds. Pwn't.

Quoi_Tu, the moment you get that to work in a college level Calculus or Statistics class, you'll probably get kicked out of the class. The problem is that simply because you can say "multiply by 0 and get 0=0," the result doesn't work. Numbers are absolute and multiplying by 0 destroys any sense of credibility any form of proof has. The only possible solution for -1*x=1 is when x is -1. In other words, multiplying/dividing by 0 nullifies the statements (or destroys the world, depending on your success rate). Yes, I know it defeats the "fun" in them, but I'm a logical person, not a trivial person. The 2=1 proof back on the first page falls to this too. If a^2=ab, and you take a^2-ab, you will always get 0 when substituted to similar terms. That multiplies out into the true statement of 0=0, not 2=1. I never did understand Schrodinger's cat...

Yeah, I'm starting to enjoy Castle now too now that the underlevel glitches have been fixed. I wasn't trying to saying that the Wii doesn't deserve better online, I'm thinking in terms of what a game developer for a game rated like COD5 would think. The Wii is more appealing to younger gamers with a less complex control scheme, cheaper system, and more family friendly games. They're probably more likely to make more profits if they focus on XBOX360 and PS3, which is the primary goal of any company. And of course cheaper systems are going to outsell more expensive systems. Not everyone has hundreds of dollars to waste on a gaming system. Especially considering that the Wii, as the cheapest system, is a good system itself.

PS3 and XBOX360 have better online support? Face it, the Wii is too much of a family friendly system for it to have any good online support without having to worry about the immaturity of older people (by which, I'm referring to swearing and the like). There's probably also an issue about harddrive space. A quick glance around Google seems to indicate that the Wii's internal drives are 88MB of system memory and 512MB of flash memory (i.e., your save file hard drive). Compare that to the XBOX360 and PS3, each who have hard drives hundreds of times larger (the smallest PS3 hard drive is already 80x larger, and the new ones are over 300x larger as a standard now). There's much more room to make more flaunted upgrades with those systems because those systems can actually handle it. And my apologies if I offend Nintendo fan-boys in this comment, but the only really appealing features for the Wii are its innovative control scheme, its family friendliness and its cost. In terms of the system itself, it's sub-par to both other systems and is more of a young-generation system. Why should a developer, then, work to develop content for a family system with a content rating of "M"? (for those who don't have the ESRB ratings, that means the game is rated for ages 17+). The only people that are really going to have money are those in the mid-teens or older (14+ crowd or so, unless they have a rich parent, which isn't the case very much). So a console that is more likely to be owned by older kids would have a higher number of copies sold than a system that tends to appeal to the pre-teen or early-teen crowds. *looks at what I've typed* Wow... haven't gotten on a roll like that in a while. That wasn't supposed to offend anyone or come out in a nasty tone, just in case someone takes it the wrong way. Also, how do you get the Browning to work? (rank 64, no prestige, before you ask) I don't have the Bipod for it yet, but it has a ridiculous amount of recoil and I can hardly get more than 2 shots to hit. I ended up going back to my PPSH-41 immediately after I tried using the Browning, and even then, I've switched back to the MP40 now.

PTRS-41 = Sniping God I hit you anywhere; you die. If you don't die, it's a Semi-Automatic gun so I just reline the shot and then kill you (or watch as one of my buddies with an MP40/Stopping Power comes in and finishes off your corpse). And I've tried to use the M1 Garand when I stole someone's gun while sniping with it. I really don't see how it can be effective. You actually have to try and hit them in the head to be effective with it (where as other guns can simply blow your arm off to similar effect) and the recoil was ridiculous considering it was a scoped weapon. I still prefer using the Kar98 or the Mosin-Nagant.

Looks like an NES game... only one I can think that looks like is Marble Madness, but I know it's not that. Random guess - one of the original Final Fantasies?

I'm considering setting up my sniper kit with Overkill(PTRS-41/PPSH-42) or whatever they're called. I've got an Overkill(PPSH-42/MP40) kit set up that works out fairly well. My PPSH runs empty relatively quickly, but usually I'm dead before that happens. Regardless, I've yet to have to fall back on my MP40 more than once or twice. I would say that until you get the PPSH (and even maybe after that), stick to the MP40. There really isn't any other good machine gun unless you get good with BAR-sniping. Heck, I'm getting good at PPSH sniping if I can find a stationary target. BTW: PS3 Double XP weekend!

At least on the Playstation 3, there's a little lag glitch where if a friend is in a game and sends you an invite, if you accept it, then leave the room you're attempting to join before you get in, when you back out to the lobby, the game will forget what level you are and unlock Boot Camp. As for other systems, I don't know.

Connection Interrupted means that the host left or his connection started lagging. There's nothing you can do about that, and it's not your fault anywhere on your side of the connection.

Pfff... I just pull out C4 or the Bazooka and blow out that wall. What's *really* fun is in COD4 when you and 4 friends each agree to use nothing but Bazookas, hand grenades and knives. You just walk around and all of the sudden *poof*. What's really fun is when someone kills you with their bazooka, they run past you and your Martyrdom kicks in and blows them up, then someone walks past their corpse and their Martyrdom kicks in and basically everyone died as a result of 1 explosion. Hilarious. Also, COD:WaW. Me and 3 friends decided to do the co-op bonus game at the end (the one that's impossible to "win"). We had the upstairs opened and I'm watching a window or 2; all of the sudden I see all 3 of my teammates are dead, I turn around and a swarm of about 7 "Nazis" are running at me.

Try getting in touch with the admins - I'm sure there are Mods out there that do that.

Are you looking to make it so that all there is is your character standing there, or make it so you see the Runescape game behind the equip screen? I can help you with the first no problem. The second isn't possible to do since when you take a screen shot, you get an image of what you can see, not all the different layers, so you'd have to take two shots which would be far more complex. If you're only interested in the character and don't care about the background, what I would recommend first is to use the Rectangle Select tool (left column, top object) and put a rectangle around your character. After that, do Image -> Crop to Selection. That should reduce the size of your image significantly and make this next step easier. What you're going to want to do then is use the Magic Wand tool (left column, 4th item down; to the left of 'hand' icon) and select all the background that is around your character (you could also use it to select your character yourself, but I find the background easier). If you're noticing that when you select stuff in the background it also selects parts of your character, Undo (Edit -> Undo or Ctrl+Z) and reduce the Tolerance of the wand by lowering the percentage located at the top. Once you have all the background selected (or at least enough that none of it is touching your character), delete it. You can use the Eraser tool (right column, center object) to clean up anything that didn't get erased. Alternatively, you could just use the Eraser tool on its own to erase away the background. This may be a slightly tricky step, but this will help make the image smaller: Select the Magic Wand again. To the left of the Tolerance slider is a label that reads "Flood Mode:" and should have a lightning bolt around it. Click that bolt so that it turns into a globe. Also, turn the Tolerance on the Magic Wand to 0%. Click on one of the blank areas (the white and gray checkered areas) and that should select it everywhere in the image. Go to Edit -> Invert Selection (or press Ctrl+I) and that should change the selected area to your character. Do Image -> Crop to Selection and if you've done everything right, you should be left with an image of your character with the borders right on the edge of it and the background transparent. If it didn't snap right to the edges, you probably missed a pixel when cleaning away the background, so go back, check for rogue pixels, erase them and then repeat this step again.

There you go. Bust-A-Move 4 to be specific.

It is that series, but it isn't named Bubble Bobble in any way. It is Playstation 1 though.

Sorry, went to sleep. 25 pages, and I finally get one. [hide=Mystery Game][/hide]
