Forum: e cigarette

zyn: So have any of you heard of this? I was looking at porn about a month ago and came across an ad that actually interested me. It's a little cig vaporizer that "makes smoking safer." You still get the nicotine which isn't harmful in itself (according to them) and it's smokeless/odorless so you don't blacken your lungs and can smoke it ANYWHERE. The add was a kit with a charger, cartridges, everything you need.... for $10.

I finally decided I want to try it out... anything to get off actual cigs for now. I google it and all I can find are $79+ starter kits and theres tons of sites. Anybody use these before? Know anything about them? Expert googlers? lol... help! I don't have $80 to quit smoking..... unless I quit smoking for like 2 weeks then whats the point.

Forum: Official Stat Impact Thread

Kuja — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 02:50:43 GMT

Kuja: so i happened to find the stat impact part of the txt doc. for gravball, and it reads as follows

[SoccerMvp]
Goals=80
Assists=62
Kills=21
Steals=47
Passes=20
Deaths=-5
Fumbles=-8
Catches=0
CarryTimeFactor=1000
Saves=60
Pinches=-150

i know we have always had people say it should be changed, maybe carrytime being less a factor and deaths being more... well b4 i load this onto the league zone, heres the communitys chance to change it.

If you think its ok, say so, if u think it could be changed for the better, lets see some ideas, copy and paste this stat list and show your new values of what you think the impact should be.

ofcourse its not up to me whether to change it or not, just doing this for fun, found where the weight is, and just wondering community input on what you think a winning formula could be.

And if council agrees or likes it perhaps we can modify this current one into the new stat formula.

that is all

Forum: Paintball questions...

Air: Love paintball, have a few friends who play it. But we're all amateurs. Going to look into my own equipment.

Any regulars here?

I want to go all out.

Thinking about Ion Electric Gun and JT Protective Gear equipment with Thermal Lenses for sure.

What other suggestions?

Budget: $ 400 - $700.

What is the benefit of a mirror lens vs just a smoked lens?

Forum: s15 schedule

yumy — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:35:37 GMT

yumy: someone make it. 9 squads, round robin, thats 8 matches each, with about 1.25 games per week per squad, we could do it in 6 weeks. After that, we will do a brief skill division again, like last season, but that can't be scheduled yet.

atila: sup lakers #1

obv the nuggets are probably the only team in the west that can legitimately challenge the lakers but who's comin out the east?

celtics got a strong starting 5 but very broken down and no depth off the bench.

cavs gotta be the favorite out the east

Forum: Upgrading monitor/video card

Hellcat+ — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:23:38 GMT

Hellcat+: I have a 19" acer monitor, nothing really exciting, I've had it for 2 years, its time for an upgrade.

Im thinking of getting this Hanns [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254040]monitor[/url]

My video card is a basic Geforce 8600 GT and was thinking of getting [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447]this[/url]

That card seems to be a decent upgrade from what I have. Enough to run my games at my new resolution right?

Any thoughts/opinion?

Hellcat+: is 1920x1200 worth it? Or should I not even bother about that? I want it big enough to watch movies on it. 24 inch minimum Im guessing.

neophi: Wait, so no Lost thread yet?

Anyway. Interesting stuff. I haven't read any commentary but what do you guys think? I guess there's nothing to predict or not much to analyze just yet, just questions.

Allustrious: Well, one of the things that stood out to me was MIB saying that all he wanted to do was leave the island and I get the impression that Jacob wouldn't let him, almost as if MIB is a prisoner to the island.

Don't get me wrong, Jacob could have reasons for this that we are not yet aware of, such as MIB being truly evil.

Jacob is also more than willing to have people die, if it meant getting the people to the island he wanted to get to the island. He did afterall order the purging of the Dharma Initiative when Ben took over (The others take their orders from Jacob so I assume this was his decision as well). Again, there could be a reason for this that is not yet known.

Jacob being the bad guy isn't really a main thinking point right now, just something I am keeping in the back of my mind as we see and learn more about him.
