So i have a stuffty 5 mb down, 1 mb up plan. I want to change. The company I'm with has bad customer service, but we also have phone and TV from them.

So, do I switch to a better 50down/50up with 250GB limit plan with the same company.

Or do I get the 55down/1up plan with 250GB limit plan with the other company that has better customer service.

NOTE: Both plans are $80/month
NOTE: I would like to do some server hosting and 1up isn't enough for more than 2 players at most.

This is really speed VS customer service.

Games / I have a problem

« on: October 28, 2012, 11:45:08 AM »

I always seem to just buy games cuz they look semi-interesting or are on sale. The summer sale i like broke down and had to restrain myself.
In the past month alone I've bought 9 games. I've only played like 20 hours in total for like 250 dollars spent.
Let's discuss my troubles, and try to think of games that are worth getting.

Off Topic / Astronomy Megathread-Gliese 581

« on: October 22, 2012, 09:54:23 PM »

Astronomy is the study of celestial bodies. Or, basically, the universe. Planets, stars, nebulae, asteroids,comets etc.

If you're unfamiliar with astonomy, the most interesting topics tend to be travel,goldilocks planets and generally strange planets/stars.

here's a video on strange planets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOBjlZz5ZHk&feature=related (it's a long documentary btw.)

Let's start with the discussion of Gliese 581a,b,c,d,e,f,g
(If you're unfamiliar with astronomical charting, It's done in a system of (region name) (number of system) (celestial body) So Gliese 581 a is the star in it's system. Gliese 581 b is the first discovered planet. Gliese 581 c is the second discovered planet, etc.

Gliese 581 is a star system about 22 light years from our solar system.

On the left is the sun, on the right is Gliese 581. Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star.

It contains 2/3 of the top-6 planets listed for habitability. Here is a chart of the habitable or "goldilocks" zone of our solar system and the Gliese 581 system:

Note on that diagram the location of Earth, Gliese581g and Gliese581d.

Let's discuss astronomy now.

In 2008 NASA launched a probe with AI to a distant planet. A documentary was made about this In February 2011. I found it on Youtube.

Off Topic / Jericho - The Best TV Series Ever

« on: October 16, 2012, 05:07:43 PM »

Jericho is a TV series that aired in 2006-2008. It has two seasons, one about 20 episdoes long, a second about 10 episodes long. Due to the amount of positive feedback given to Netflix on the show, Netflix is petitioning the company to extend the series.

The wayward son of the mayor of Jericho returns to the rural town to collect an inheritance, only to be stranded by a nuclear blast that cuts off communications to the outside world and makes him a reluctant leader amid chaos.
(netflix's desc. on Jericho, sounds a bit cheesy, but it is literally the best TV series ever, I'd say it's just as good or better than LOST)

Off Topic / Lando the Climber and I - V3

« on: October 16, 2012, 04:15:17 PM »

Today at school, my class had a competition with Lando the Climber's class in Phys Ed. We played this game where one team throws a rubber chicken, then huddles and one player must run around the huddle, for every rotation around it, the team gains 1 point. Meanwhile, the other team runs to get the chicken, and then must form a line and pass it alternating between over and under to the end of the line. The last person is the line then must throw the chicken.

So, we'd played a few roudns back and forth, and then this kid:
 
decides to, even though he isn't last in line, chuck the chicken out onto the road beside the field, which is fenced in. The nearest gate is like 200m away. Shortly after he chucked it, this happened.



so the chicken now has a tire track on it. Isaiah had to run the 200m to the gate, run out into the road, grab the chickena dn run it back, meanwhile the opposing team now has 40 points from how long it's taken us, and in the end we lost. by 29 points. Lando the Climber's class is superior.

Games / Sandbox Destruction Game

« on: October 14, 2012, 06:37:29 PM »

I really want a game that's just like sandbox with a REALLY good physics engine. I want to spend a few hours building a massive tower or something, take some screenies, show some friends, then plant C4 at key locations amongst the supports and watch it crumble. It's be cool if i could like, put things in the building too, or make people go in it. So I could put like some cubicles with people at them.
