I don't think race matters. Scraping a razor (or "quad razor") across one's face sucks no matter pigmentation.

**** shaving. I just trim my beard. Face doesn't burn, missed spots aren't noticeable, it's great

(or "quad razor" )

I prefer the QUAD LASER.

RE: TSB

I always thought the Pats were easiest to beat. I've only played it on emulators, because it was a bit before my time, but it's easily one of my favorite games ever.

RE: Antiviruses

I use CCleaner and it works pretty well for me (pretty sure it's free as well).

Re: Off Topic 2013

I can't believe I just drafted for a 3-4 Defense in NFL 2K5 and can't figure out how the hell to change the Defense to 3-4.

I hate the 3-4, but I couldn't pass up a Patrick Willis / Jon Beason / NaVorro Bowman ILB Rotation.

Unless you guys are black, I don't wanna hear any complaints about shaving. ****'s like trying to shave on concrete.

Everyone on OS is black.

Change your playbook at the stadium select screen.

Virus: SuperAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, Avast, and McAfee Security Plan Plus. Also regularly use Wise Registry Cleaner and Disk Cleaner. Basically just pick one of them at random before bed every other night.

TSB: Bo Jackson was the obvious boss, but don't overlook Christian Okoye, when he was in excellent condition he was untacklable no matter how fast you button mashed.

[something about picking bad teams for a challenge]

I used to do that too lol, that was where I came up with Seattle, Dave Krieg has no speed on his passes, it was like he threw them straight up in the air, and I think John L Williams was the running back with lead feet. Chris Warren was on the roster but it was just before he got good.

When I was young I kept a notebook full of stats on TSB, I did a full season with every single team and compared all the numbers. Now I wish I still had that notebook lol, would be fun to go back and look at the crazy numbers and complain about the lack of realism.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I wish I had a sense of direction with FIFA 13 on the VITA.

I decided to start a new career as a manager and I went in the MLS, but It seemed sort of boring. I created a new one as a manager of Chelsea.

I didn't want to pick a really good team, but it seemed most teams in England are decent and I need some help since I'm new to the game.

I'm prob going to have to up the difficulty. I won the first match 4-1 on the default half length.

Re: Off Topic 2013

The AI in older football games was so horrible. I can remember playing QB Club 2001, quite modern compared to Tecmo, and as the Titans with George you could run the sweep, or hit I think Mason in the slot on every play. I think I went like 24 for 24 one game with McNair with just one play. I remember on defense, I can't remember the name of the play, but you could almost always blitz so easily as long as you had a decent LB. Shelton Quarles >>>> Derrick Brooks on the Bucs because of that play. I think one season I gave up like -7 yards rushing per game. Then I hit my obsession with realism later on and was never happy with a football game ever again.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I'm in need of a serious change in my life.

Every time I do what I perceive to be the right thing, negative things happen.

Every time I do what I perceive to be the wrong thing, negative things still happen.

The economy sucks here, I've been out of work for over two months now and even with over a decade of experience in my field I cannot find anything that isn't entry level stuff that I would have turned my nose up at ten years ago and rightfully so.

I have no time or desire to "go back to school" like so many others in their thirties are doing either.

If I had the money (which I don't) I would just follow the Rays on the road all year just for something to do. There is seriously nothing I would rather do this year than that.

I have no motivation to do anything with my life at this point and it makes me feel like a piece of ****. Being out of work for two months also makes me feel like a piece of ****. I'm just glad I don't have kids, otherwise I would feel like an even bigger piece of ****.

Playing in my band is fun and all, but all the other guys have jobs and such so directing all of my energy towards that is also not an option. With the genre of music that we play it isn't like we're ever going to make a serious living off of it anyway. It's mainly just a hobby.

I am just so ****ing lost right now, it's unreal.

Ah, adulthood.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I can relate 55. I've been job hunting for 3 months now with nothing. I'm so tired of school and I just slack off because the program here is just not what I expected so I have no motivation to try any more because I know I don't want to stay beyond this year. But at the same time, if I don't get a job, I need to put some effort in because at least it pays the bills, but it's only going to suck worse next year.

Despite having a master's, a background in engineering, chemistry, biology, quite a bit of programming experience, I have hardly gotten any response. The one company that has kept up communicating with me might not even hire me, and if they do, the pay is probably much less I could get at other places, and it isn't something I could see myself doing in the long term. Part of the problem is I don't know exactly what I want to do, but even applying for positions that fit what I'm looking for, something involving engineering, design, and programming, I hear nothing back. It sucks!
