Off Topic / iPod has been stolen, what do I do?-UPDATE: I GOT IT BACK BOYEEEEE!-

« on: May 02, 2012, 04:23:48 PM »

My iPod has been stolen. Here's the story;
I was in gym class, 5th hour. I took my iPod out of my pocket to remove the headphones and put on my gym shorts. I got distracted for a second by one of my friends and I realize two minutes later that it's gone. I don't have "Find My iPod" on it or any kind of recovering service. All I have it my apple account that's linked to the iPod and the nickname, not even the Serial of the iPod. Is there any way to get my iPod back? Any kind of help is appreciated, thanks for listening.

Off Topic / How come my 720P monitor looks terrible when I play my gamecube on it?

« on: May 01, 2012, 09:05:44 PM »

When I use it for a computer monitor, its fine. When I switch to composite connection, the quality is stuff. Is there a way to use a digital signal for a gamecube?

General Discussion / Bim's Fortwars

« on: April 25, 2012, 04:59:29 PM »

                          Bim's Fortwars!

Hello everyone. This is Bim here, in-game Id 6734. I host regularly(around 5-6:00PM to 11:00PM eastern), will consider dedication) a server of which I like to call Fortwars.
Topic is for discussing my fortwars and what you think about it. I've been doing this for about a year so I decided to do some advertising.
   What is a fortwars?
A fortwars is, in my mind, a minigame in which you may build your own bases and then, when finished, fight other Blockheads.
   What makes yours so special?
I use a myriad of addons ranging from weapon packs(BF3 and T+T[explosive & melee]) to server addons like TDM, Munk's server pack, the report and votekick mod.
   How does it work?
Good question! First off, you spawn and are able to choose a team. There are the Builders, which are invincible to other players attacks and have jets so that they may build their bases. Then there are the Fighters, these are the Blockheads that have completed their base and are ready to join in the fight!
    Admin for hire?
While recently I have been letting my friends get admin, I've decided to take a more professional approach to it. From now on, you have to apply to become an admin on my server. It's easy so don't sweat it!
Just fill out this forum with your info and I'll get back to you! If I accept you, you have to go on a 5 day probation, to see if you really have the guts to admin my server.

I want to be your slave admin!;
Name: Bim
Blid: 6734
Why?: I am great with people and I think that I would be a perfect fit for your server administration staff.
When?:All day erry day [please provide actual time frame]

Current Admins:
HOST: Bim [SA] [6734]
CO-HOST: Position required
ADMIN: Pecon7 [A] [9643] On trial day 3/5
ADMIN: Killer EOD [A] [23073] On trial day 3/5
ADMIN: Darkness [A] [22088] On trial day 3/5
ADMIN: Arctic Henrey [A] 18492 On trial day 3/5
CODEMONKEY: TomTom [SA] 3964 On trial day 3/5

     Bans/Unbans
My server is unique because I implement a three strike system.
It works like this.

Joe Breaks a rule
Bim: 1/3 Joe, [insert how and what rule he broke]
repeat two times
Kick from the server at 3/3. If he is persistent and come back only to break a another rule, then he will be banned. Permanently. All bans are perma bans.

It is possible to appeal a ban if you really think you deserve another chance. All strike that a player has accumulated throughout the day will be wiped if he has not been banned by the end of the hosting day. You may appeal your ban like this:

I'm Banned!;
For what reason were you banned?: Builderkilling in the first degree
Why do you think it was unfair?: Because it's near impossible to kill a builder and I was building at the time
What if your in-game ID?: 6734
Who was the admin that banned you?: Bim

      More info
If you have any trouble with the admins or any comments about my server, please post them in the replies, don't come to my server and ask for you will be disrupting other players. The rules are displayed when you spawn, so pay attention!

Off Topic / Help me rember the name of this book!

« on: April 08, 2012, 01:45:04 AM »

So my teacher in fifth grade read this book to us. It was about a guy who woke up in this strange place.
He has to defeat this member of an alien race, they look like balls. Probelm is, there is a shield in the way. After the plot thickens, he sees a dead lizard and it can pass through the shield. But, the lizard was only Asleep, so it awakens and moves around the other side of the arena. He knocks himself out and then he gets to the over side and fights the ball thing. I forget how he wins, but when he does, he is transported back to his space ship and the humans suddenly win the ongoing battle with the alien race.
If you know the name of this book, please tell me.

Off Topic / So I found these weights.

« on: March 22, 2012, 03:12:31 AM »

Seeing how I sit around all day being a richard, I thought using these weights I found while doing stuff would be a good idea.

What do you guys do to keep in shape?
Starting today, I do reps while surfing the internet. How long do you think I'll have to do this until I reach desirable results? Regardless, I'll do it until I can...idk, I just want to be strong :I

Pic of weights in attachments. Right is for right arm and left is for, you guesses it, left. I am right handed.

Off Topic / iPod problems god damn...

« on: March 06, 2012, 04:31:08 PM »

Yeah so after a month of my iPod being dead, I get a new cord to charge and what have you with it. After I update everything on it from app store to Cydia, it won't boot up. It does that loading sign for the restart springboard until the battery runs dry, and then when I charge it, it does it again. Thing is, I can still connect it to the computer and get pictures. It won't go into DFUH mode (debugging mode).

If you know how to solve this problem, please help.

Off Topic / I need an animator for a project.

« on: February 23, 2012, 11:24:18 PM »

Hey, I think I have a really neat idea for an animation.
First off, I am asking for help from an artist/animator, because I can't do that stuff.

The idea is that a kid is walking to school, and another kid ask's him if he wants some weed. The first kid agrees and they walk into the school, go into the bathroom, and light it up. They puff puff pass a joint till its gone and then they walk out stoned.
Then, there will be some trippy colors and stuff, them walking around waving their arms and stuff. In the end, they end up passed out on the floor at the climax of the song. The song would be Spazzmatica Polka, an edited version that I will provide the animator. Here is a story board;
[Look in the attachments]

Well, that just goes to show how sucky I am at drawing.

At the start, his pace should match the beat of the music
At 0:15, he should be asked if he wants some weed
Stuff happens
At 0:58 they should be out in the hallway waving their arms around while high
At the end of the song, it should cut to them being passed out on the floor
Then, some teacher comes and they get expelled.
Then, no sound is playing, an a picture of above the influence comes up.

Here is a link to the song so you can tell I'm not crazy
http://www.mediafire.com/?yp7c1kbwt2vjs1a

Any help that I get is appreciated.


Edit: The song is really important and will tie together the sequence of events.

Oh hey look, it's this thread again.
I don't want anything, just letting you guys know.

Anyway, I was thinking about applying at Publix, seeing how they let you start working at 14. That way, if they take me, I'll have a reliable source of income. Will feel good man.

Off Topic / Proactiv

« on: January 25, 2012, 08:49:55 PM »

So my dad says I shouldn't have gotten it. He says rubbing hydrogen peroxide and witch haze all over my face will magic my acne away. We just had a 20 min argument about how benzoyl peroxide is not the same thing as hydrogen peroxide. We had a computer at hand and Wikipedia said "A common misconception is that hydrogen peroxide helps treat acne, but it really only burns your skin." The Acne page mentioned nothing of hydrogen peroxide but it said a lot about benzoyl peroxide.

He thinks that since witch hazel and H.P is in the proactiv ingredients, those are the only thing that matters. He said all the other ingredients are "fillers".

Poll: who is right?
My side: Those two thing alone will NOT work
His side:Yes they will

Off Topic / Taking image editing requests.

« on: January 23, 2012, 05:36:55 PM »

Hello. I'm pretty bored, and I would like to further my skills in GIMP, the image editing tool.

So, to get the the point, do any of you have some projects you want done?
I could do requests, color editing, and some middle tier stuff, but I can't do .GIF's.
If it's not to difficult, I could do it for you, just post the request and picture.

Off Topic / iPod Connection Problem

« on: January 16, 2012, 10:02:55 PM »

So, my iPod is acting up. Itouch 4th gen.

Recently, it has been having some trouble connecting to the charger, sometimes I have to work with it to make it work. Now, it wont charge at all. My cord was purchased in 2011, around August. When it dies, it will charge to the 20% mark, and then turn on, but then it wont charge any more. It is jail broken, but it wont connect to iTunes so I can restore it. It wont connect to the computer at all.

Is it my cable, or iPod?
