Do you guys feel that media violence (including video games) has any impact on aggression levels in children? Why or why not?

Off Topic / Recommend me a [Wireless] headset
« on: February 01, 2014, 08:24:49 PM »
I've had a plantronics .Audio 655 DSP for years now, which has been a really solid unit, dropped so many times and only problem after this long is the rubber has frayed on the earpieces.
I need some recommendations for a new headset, but this time my preference is on getting something wireless. Only reason being is that I use dictation software a lot and I would prefer to be able to walk around and use my whiteboard while I'm dictating. With that, obviously microphone quality is probably the most important factor to make sure the accuracy of dictation is the best it can be. I don't want to blow a huge amount of money on it, so anything under $300 suits.
Recommendations?
Options so far:
Plantronics .Audio 995 Wireless Headset - $89.00
Logitech Wireless gaming headset G930 - $150.00

Drama / Wound starring as Constantine, in "Return of the sperg" pt. 2
« on: June 21, 2013, 03:55:10 AM »
Context: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=235176.0
So basically, wound makes an account pretending to be me*. I send this PM to him:
In the mean time, I ask ephi who it is, who confirms it's wound, so I send back this:
which he responds to with the following:
and then follows up again, changing his position:
The first posts of his in the topic (on the two accounts), at least imply that he's denying it;
Which he then follows up with
now at this point i'll make it clear that i really dont care about anyone using my avatar, or any variant of my avatar. it's not mine to claim, i ripped it off some voice chat website so go for your lives. i made the original topic to make sure people knew it wasn't me being a richard on that account (which i think was needed because i'm not using accounts named "Boltster" anymore so it might get confusing).
I've made this topic to point out him being a little lying weirdo, and to continue the conversation in the board that it belongs in.
basically, i have no idea what the kid's issue is. he's had problems with me before, then swapped to acting fine around me, and then suddenly swapped back. bipolar? you decide!
hide yo kids, hide yo wife, ban him from yo server; cause it's drama time
"Pretending to be me"
I make this point not just on the basis of him using one of my old avatars (i dont care about that really). it's the combination of that, using a quote from one of my old profiles (now removed), and the first post on the account that makes me think that WAS his goal. Plus he didn't deny it when I pm'd him asking, as the pictures show

Sorry, OP, but what.and
Lol, he thinks you're me.

Never said it wasn't me.which we already know is false, from the last PM he sent me, and from the implied denials in the topic.

This guy
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=88157
Is wound; not to be mistaken with the community nice guy, me. I've only got two accounts, this one and Darryl Mckoy
Only reason I mention it is that he was trying to pretend to be me before I called him on it, now he just seems to be douching around with my avatar instead.
Cheers mates

Off Topic / Projectors
« on: June 08, 2013, 06:14:17 PM »
This is a bit of a niche thing to ask here, so I won't be surprised if I don't get m/any responses but here we go
Can anyone recommend a semi reasonably projector (HDMI required) for under or around $500?
I'm going to wallmount a projector pointing up at my ceiling so I can use my PC while laying in bed. I'd prefer an LED or DLP one, but not required. Higher resolution is obviously preferred.
Looking at this one so far
