I was injured on site a bit more than a year ago, maybe closer to year and half.  Lost full time job, been part time ever since.

 

Actually gets boring with so many free hours.

 

edit:  Not perma-injured if curious, just long enough to not keep my job.

Sorry to hear that. Are you close to a full recovery from your injury? And at some point soon will you be able to go back to full time?

Uncharted movie progress becoming worse and worse. The stuff this director says is seriously ridiculous. Just plain WTF? Feels like he had his own screenplay that he wanted to make and just happened to stumble on the name and opportunity of Uncharted and now aims to shape the franchise into this totally other thing he had in mind:

http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/uncharted-3-drakes-deception/news/nathan-drakes-family-in-the-uncharted-movie-are-like-the-sopranos-funny-how/a-20110210161123546047/g-201012097331276088

Ugh, the Uncharted movie is likely going to be garbage. It pains me to see Hollywood destroy one of the best stories and characters in a videogame to date. At this point I'm planning on not even watching it. There is no way its going to be better than the game. Unless they drop Mark Walberg and get Nathan Fillion to play Drake, then I will give the movie a chance. His character from Firefly fits Nathan Drake's personality like no other. Nathan Fillion fans have been petitioning and I heard the director is now "aware" of him.

So you pretty much learn everything you need to know before college, to get into college and then college is kind of a joke right? A couple of my friends from Japan said a similar thing about colleges in Japan. Once they got into the college they pretty much just celebrate. High school was the hardest part of their education and the most pressure.

For me it was the opposite in the US. High school I didn't need to put much effort in to get A's or B's. But in college I worked hard and put a lot of time into what I was doing. It certainly helped that I loved what I was studying - film and video editing.

And I'll share a couple of movie collection stats: I currently own 127 DVDs (down from about 200 from trade ins). And I just hit 95 blu-rays this week. Unfortunately I never watch my DVDs anymore. Standard Def just looks too bad on my HDTV even with ps3 upscaling. So I am trying to limit my blu-ray buying buying because I know at some point we'll reach resolutions that will make blu-ray look blurry and I won't watch those! Well it will look blurry on future higher resolution monitors... of course it will still have awesome picture quality on a 1920x1080 HDTV.

says you with like 39 plats and alot of trophies,lol

I think he got to college and realized what real life was like.


college isn't real life,

@tbone 39 plats isn't hard,not sure about that

i'm trying to plat hot pursuit and its hard enough and its only worth 2 stars has anyone tried to beat all these times,pull your hair out time for some


I have a full time job but i still make time to play.  Trophies have been out for more than 2 years so its really not hard to get that many platinums. Of course it depends when u started aswell.

If u think Hot pursuit is hard then i´m afraid u don´t know what hard is, no offence.

It's hard to understand for americans as the college system is a lot different. The closest in the US would be M.I.T.

Haha... no it isn't.  I'd certainly like to meet an average person from MIT that went to 20% of their classes, because it would be fun to ask them why they failed out.

And school in India is mostly a joke.  That's why they all come to the US to get their educations, and then head back home to work for pennies on the dollar.


That just shows you don't know much about India...

IIT is ranked among the best schools in the world...

Indian students that comes to study in the US are those that didn't get into IIT...

And Indian students in the US are among the best in in engineering...

It's not so much about learning everything there is to know.

The idea is every year pick the 400 or so best students in a generation and get them together in school for 3 years getting them ready  to take on high responsabilities  later on, either in research, public corporation or private ones...

The idea isn't so much about teaching them stuff that they will need later on  but more about showing them a bunch of different stuff trying to interest them in different disciplines... We are not destined to become technical engineers...

 

As for prep school, yeah, the thing is for ages you have had to come with a way to select the best students among a huge group, french engineering do it through maths anfd engineering. So you get t study a lot of them, especially areas where it is easy to design hard problems to solve ( that's why you do so much group theory and matrces...). In the end you want to foster the capacity of students to use logic to solve problems and the students that rank the 400 best at the exams are not necessary those that worked the hardest in prep school but those that have the most facilities in solving those problems....

Baically until I got into my engineering school I was the best student in my class for the whole time I went to school...( I was just an average student among brilliant ones once I was in the engineering school though)

Bwahahahahahahahahaha.  Having been through engineering college and grad school with a hell of a lot of them, I can tell you that that is most assuredly false.

By the way, how are those military victories going for you?  hehe



I was wondering what made you guys come to this site in the first place was it for the sales numbers with the forums/trophy league as a secondary or was it the other way around?

 

Because i personally only made an account for the numbers and use the forums as an added benefit but now with the inclusion of VGpro i will find myself coming here less and less

I originally found this place from hearing about numbers, then I found the trophy league.  After that, it became evident that the majority of the site is worthless, and then they redesigned it to be even more worthless, and they also ban everybody with half an opinion, so I only stay around for this thread now.

I'll probably get banned for posting this.

Same reason but i got feed up with the forums. The only thing they do is trash talk and have rage fanboy wars.

Now i come to this site only for this thread.
