lol...I'm fully qualified, save for the 3DS/Maya dev part...Technically, I could go work for them right now if I wanted, but then I'd miss out on 2 years of university... Just No.
I want to work at Lionhead anyway...

You could actually make Fable a good game. hehe.

I'm kidding. I do enjoy Fable, but I think it has a lot of potential that it's not fulfilling. I think they could make it better.

Especially in Fable 2, make a female character and give her 5 in all Physique levels and try not too laugh.

Free Windows 7 Retail =)

I wonder if I could sue Gateway for false advertising? Hint: look at the ram

[XZodia]

I lol'd.

[OwnZ joO]

Free Windows 7 Retail =)

How did you manage that?

[xxpenguinxx]

How did you manage that?

I was able to get mine from school, I'm assuming he got his the same way.

Indeed, student winz.

[OwnZ joO]

Haha that'd be nice. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do for the computer I'm building. I'll probably install a couple linux distros and windows 7 rc(when does that expire again?). Then if I still want 7 when it expires I'll probably ask my parents to buy it for the computer, since I'm gonna give it to them when I upgrade next time.

This picture made me smile, guess what it is without cheating.

[NotZachary82]

Tattoos? No idea.

HAHAHA, that made my day, ds

What is the name of that gun the guy closest to the camera is holding?

[Click16]

I am in a mood to do random math problems.... I actually enjoy math. Nothing too complicated yet. I have a test coming this Friday.

Note that I am in the 9th grade, Algebra 1, B - level. (Could be in A - level, but I slacked off in middle school.)

I need to know:
-Order of Operations (P.E.M.D.A.S)
-Tables (Steam-and-leaf, Frequency Tables, and Communicative Frequency Tables)
-Combining Like Terms
-Distributive Property

Gonna Ace It!

Holy shit.

I remember learning all of those.

Back in 7th grade.

[XZodia]

same lol...only I learned BODMAS not PEMDAS whatever that is...

BODMAS =
Brackets
Order
Divide
Multiply
Add
Subtract

Please Excuse My Drunk Aunt Sally?

Edit: curse my spelling

[DoorM4n]

Please Excuse My Drunk Aunt Sally?

Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction! Yay!

[DemonicSandwich]

I was never taught any of that. All my math teachers simple said, "remember, it's Brackets, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction.

[socrates]

lulz, my teacher always wore ankle socks..so his motto was
Please Excuse My Dorky Ankle Socks, and if any student couldn't remember the order on a test, he'd put his foot in a chair and show off his ankle socks.. and they'd remember

also, Click..srsly..? 9th grade in algebra 1? kick it up some dude.. 've taken two math classes per year for three years now.. I'm in Pre-Calc as a Junior, however..I don't recommend trying to get to calculus unless you srsly plan on being some math oriented professional when you grow up.... I have no idea what I'm taking next year but it won't be calculus.. Pre-Calc is enough for me..

I'm in Pre-Calc/Trigonometry as a Sophmore without doubling up math courses. I was told to skip 6th and 7th grade math because I was ready to start algebra in 5th grade, but they don't have a program for that. On that note, see Rant thread for more information.

[OwnZ joO]

If you plan on going into computers plan on taking calc. I'm in it right now and it's not super easy. It really wouldn't be that hard if I was a model student, but I don't really care, and I didn't learn all the trig identities and helpful stuff like that in pre calc.
