So, bored again at work... i can't believe I get paid for posting on forums
Of course they don't know that... but I do my share when there's work to be done.
But enough about me.
Ok screw it, more about me...
I am in AWE of the new BSG! Absolutely in awe of it. Yes it's just a show, yes it's on SciFi, yes it's geeky by most people's standards, but I am a geek, I like a good show and I enjoy something that really makes one scratch one's noodle. That's that show, BSG.
So, for all the geeks, good show lovers and noodle scratchers out there I would like to start filling up the rows of XDA-ers who also like BSG. Please vote...
Just like my vote, "it has its moments".
I really liked most of the episodes (particularly season finales) but others were just so boring I could barely watch.
Still, grate show, though I think they went a bit overboard with the "low tech" angle - artificial gravity sure - electronic map instead of board with plastic figures or say a touch screen or two - no way.
Oh, and I don't like it when the mix supernatural (visions etc.) with SciFi.
Oh come on folks... vote... you know you like the show
I couldn't possibly care less about these sort of games. This puts me in, I'd venture, less than 3% of the young male population of this country who can buy an Xbox or whatnot in the first place.
Discuss.
Homework or a public speaking competition? Sweet Idea, will post my arguments once others give me ideas

More like inciting a flame war. ^_^ j/k
I've never liked racing, shooting, or sports games, which I've found doesn't sit well with most men my age (22). Just wondering what fellow techies think.
Usually I get a "wow, I can't believe another human being has different tastes than me" response. I don't think I've ran into a "Wow you're so gay" response but it's only a matter of time. =/

Yep same. I'm different to everyone in my school. Everyones got iphoned, I got a Desire, now everyones jealous haha.. anyways, I like racing and shooting games. Just the real ones. CoD and GT not things like killzone or WoW. Though I don't play often, every 2–3 weeks maybe, I do enjoy some adrenalin pumping through my veins when I due just begore the end of the mussion. It makes me more determined to finish correctly the next time etc..
Everyones always asking me when I'm online next to play a bit of CoD or whatever and I just don't understand how you can become addicted to something that doesn't actually exist. Well it does but not really, you know what I mean : )

LOL been a gamer for too long. But I have never told anyone that they were "gay" because they didn't like to game.
But.. usually they were women.
well im different to everyone in my school.
most of the lads in my year like football and cod.
"medal of honor- is ****"
"driving games - ****"
"every other game apart from cod and fifa- is ****"
i have been called gay because i have long hair and i like rock music and drum and bass (and others).
i think the reason they call you gay is because they don't like people that are different and like other things.
about 1 year ago everyones phones where sony ericssons (crap ones)
and samsung tocco lites (horrible)
but 1 lad had a t-mobile g1.
i had my 7 year old htc himalaya brick (excellent phone)
now quite a few have htc's desires, hero, legend. (and obviously don't know about xda (what a pitty))
people seem to follow other people and call you weird because you are not following.
sorry if i drifted off topic.
i like driving games, fps (half-life excellent!!)
im a gran turismo guy i love that game, i also enjoy a nice helping of cod now and then too, i cant stand football soccer or basketball games though
COD - meh
FIFA - meh
GT5 - drool
Well, an explanation is warranted for the above...
I never really got the hang of FPS games in multiplayer, mostly because I used to pwn at CounterStrike and Half-Life, but a hiatus during my formative days (read, TEENAGE) lost my edge in FPS games. Mostly I will check out the single player experience, and if it gains enough traction amongst my friends, I'll get the original copy. Mostly, for group enjoyment purposes, we game L4D if we wanna play FPS. I'm just waiting for Crysis 2 (as an excuse to upgrade my Gfx card more than anything else )
FIFA... well... is a game for douchetards who imagine that they have the skills needed to take Leo Messi/CR to whatever glories that in real life they couldn't achieve (both for the gamers and the players). Simply said, it gives little to none benefits, and merely act as an escapement and commercial device. For the more serious guys, we play futsal, which is like football played in a netball field. Pacing is fun, especially since players with less stamina can join in and height doesn't bring that much of a benefit (read, GIRLS CAN PLAY TOO). And for the brainiacs, we play Football Manager 2011.
GT5 is going to be something of a old history for me. It's more of a nostalgia device than something of real enjoyment. Back in the days, me and my brother played GT1, GT2, GT3, and probably GT4. To my brother, who is an engineer by now, it is the most accurate depiction of a car on the race-track. I'll skip the nostalgia bit... Anyway, since neither of us own a PS3, and neither of us plans to own a PS3, this game will forever reside in the droolworthy section of our hindbrains, possibly forever.
The problem with me is I'm probably in the less than 0.05% zone. I'm a self-professed geek that likes to party and do sports. I could, enjoyably, spend the afternoon tinkering with my PC/phone or just dump everything to hang out with friends, chilling out and maybe finding the answers to life (we checked, its not 42).
So gaming is cool and all that, but it's not the be all and end all for me
Gotta say... I love GT5 lol. I think I like it more than GT3 or 4 because I'm actually trying now lol. I used to have a Game Shark, Code Breaker, and Action Replay to cheat my way to having (basically) infinite cash, the AI guys wouldn't move, and every car would have like 16x acceleration lol. It made it fun cause I could get what I wanted when I wanted, but ruined the sense of accomplishment needed to make it feel way better. I actually HAVE to try and succeed in this now, which is awesome imo.
Call of Duty is cool, but I'm not into it as much anymore as I am with GT5 now.
FIFA is a game I'll never play. I don't do sports, nor like them; especially soccer.

That is VERY cool and I didn't know that. Sucker as I am for new experiences, it makes me want to play it again with this knowledge.

Haha, I hope I'm reading your implications right: b/c size isn't an issue, women can play the sport side-by-side with men. The other implication would be a little... off-putting. >.<

Sorry I paraphrased your Quote
1) Nothing wrong with Long Hair and playing Bass. I did both for a long time - but now the hair fell out and I play a little guitar (i.e. it stares at me taunting me on the wall collecting dust due to RL stealing all my time)
2) Your unique... just like everybody else
3) Half Life is probably the BEST GAME EVER. And I'm a sucker for driving games. I haven't purchased GT yet as I know my wife would kill me while I was going around the track at 4am.
YOU DON'T LIKE THOSE GAMES!!! wow!!, i didn't know another human being could have such different taste to me.
But seriously 'normal' at my school is f'd up compared to everybody elses, screamo metalheads and emos rule the street and jocks are considered to be on the same level as the scum you find in public toilets... its a weird place.
Im lucky anyway because im a self admitted nerd at school but for some strange reason nobody believes me? (WTF's with that!?!) Which is especially strange considering people are paying me to set up snow leopard hackintosh on their pc's.
My favorite shooter is Gears o' War 2 (can't really call it fps), but, uh, what do you guys think of bioshock? I personally don't like it, much to the disdain of all my friends who are obsessed with it.

Wow, that is strange. At my school there was no "jock" contingency either, but why would there necessarily have to be, stereotypes are stereotypes.
What IS indeed common to probably every school ever are cliques. I'm guessing it's the 'us vs. them' mentality that's so crucial to so many living things.

Soccer is the worst game (notice I didn't call it a sport) in the history of mankind.
I feel like the only one....
Most people I ask tell me "the cgi is great, but I don't get it" or "i hated the way it ended" or "I don't understand why they needed brains" or "the acting sucked".
Was it really THAT bad?
I hate it. The acting is as bad as it gets. The script is even worse. If anyone here hasn't seen it, just watch the trailer. That's the whole movie.
The special effects is the only thing i liked.
Yes that one was a real turd. The chi was OK and the acting was bearable. But when I think back, it was just a waste of my not so pressures time.

Then I'm better of playing Crysis 2 again. And again.
I watched skyline for the first 10 minutes and then when I saw the black guy from scrubs trying to be a big timer, lol I was like ok I'm done. I like sci-fi movies so I wanted skyline to work but I can only stomach so much. On top of the lame script and horrible acting, the casting looked like it was done by throwing darts at names. Lost my attention quick. But best alien movie I've seen lately. BATTLE LA. Hands down badass!
I hate it too
I agree...Battle LA was awesome.
Skyline was just horribad, but yes, the CGI was impressive. Even though they couldn't seem to nail down the aliens size...something that was several times wider than a human shouldn't be able to fit through a normal door. >_< But the story and acting was just EXCESSIVELY bad.

I think Battle: LA could be MUCH better. It's no where near Skyline in "OMG WTF is this", but i think it should have included elements from the real event back in 1942 (more about that here)
I think if they'd make it more like Close Encounters of the Third Kind (since it's more like the real event), it would be better. But as an action movie it works quite well.
So I really am the only one.
Alright one more then....if you HAD to sit through one, would you rather Skyline or those Syfy channel "Movies"? Because those are movies I can't stand. I'm trying to feel my way into why I'm so "off" about this movie (as in, vs. public sentiment).
You're not the only one. GF and I watched it. We thought it was great entertainment and it kept us occupied the entire time.
Excuse me if anyone has a Thread like this... If they do I Haven't seen it!

I usually ignore my phone calls just so I can hear the song lol.
I do get sick of other peoples ringback tones though, I've threatened some people (that leave it the same thing for years) that I would stop calling them if they dont change it. I've never understood ringback tones I swear they have it all ass backards. I bought them, but instead of getting to listen to them I have to hear Call Me Maybe or some stupid **** when I call somebody. Shouldn't I get to hear the song I paid for? You probably dont like my song anyway so why does the phone company play it for you instead of me? That's what really grinds my gears. Am I wrong?
I totally agree on ringback tones.
Also, the only song I ever kept as a ringtone authority getting sick of it was my old ringtone for The Wife: The Doors - Hello, I love you
i once had a custom ringtone for my girlfriend,
i rode one time on a bus,
i was so loud saying "Your girlfriend is trying to reach you on your cellular device" over and over,
after that everyone in the bus looked at me,
after that incident i stick to the stock ringtones
I use stock ringtones, most of time my phone is silent

First a bit about why I am here.
I have a specific problem with my phone - Moto G10 (which I will search for and perhaps make a post).
I hope I will also be able to help others but I have been very complacent with regard to how things work these days (I last had a good rummage around software a good 10 years ago) so may not be of much use.
Second I shall explain my user name SatansMother (tldnr - he was our cat).
Many years ago, we adopted a beautiful black cat around Halloween and were searching for an appropriate name. We didn't want anything too obvious and thought a Halloween themed name would be more appropriate. My daughter suggested Satan and it seemed so right. He was a gorgeous, loving cat who not only tolerated, but actually liked our rescue dog too! Then, I was signing up to a music forum and wanted a name that suggested my great age - so I wanted something with mum or mother to show I had children. That's when I realized that SatansMother was sufficiently rock and roll to fit into the music forum and so SatansMother was born!! (I know there should be an apostrophe in the name, but it was not allowed in the user name at that time.)
I look forward to seeing you on the boards
Welcome to XDA
My one cat is nicknamed Devilcat
More what the other cats think though as he will charge then leap over them never touching them (or they him). They're like WTF?
Haha! What are they like?! He sounds brilliant!
Our current cat, Genghis, I'm sure is part cat part elephant. We keep our bedroom window open all night and he comes in at very unsavoury hours and deliberately lands very heavily on my husband before landing very heavily on me! I think of the Thundercats theme tune every time he comes down the stairs.
Welcome to XDA!
I enjoyed the backstry behind your username.
Thank you for the welcome (and of course the welcome from blackhawk above)
Glad you liked the back story - you caught me in writing mode today.

He's pretty funny. Fast and light on his feet. He'll run by and leave out a reowl.
The two other cats are brawlers but Devilcat never bites or scratches, but gets them with the quickness. He'll chase after bouncing superballs too.
He was abandoned as a very small kitten and he bonded to me. Those make for the coolest pets.
Oh now I'm jealous! I bought our Genghis a couple of bouncy balls and he just watches them, then looks at me as if to say "why did you throw that away?"

He's sort grown out of that but he would go after a dodge ball too. Ping pong balls were the rage for a bit.
Then insects. There are no mice here... now.
The one older cat, Lucy, who is jealous actually forgot her dignity with age and started emulating his toy behavior. Guess you can teach old cats new tricks. Now it's Lucy that plays with the toys... my disfunction cats.
