My son gets his fair share of spanking... terrible twos going on the horrible threes!!! :eek:

I think what's wrong is mostly parents want to be their kid's "friend" they forget that kids are not your friend they are your kids. You are responsible for rearing them to be a good productive member of the society. I know parents who wonder why their kids are acting up, drugs, pot, smoking, missing school, lazy, etc. but will not look past their own attitude and the way they raised their kids. One friend of ours wonders what she did wrong when her 17 year old kid drinks alcohol and OD and tried to kill himself, she's always saying what a good mom she is... but heck you see her everyday in the bar drinking and partying and getting into fights because of her boyfriend! Eh, what did she expect?! And exactly what is the definition of a good mom? hahaha. Seriously, adults need to be more adults and stop acting like a child!
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Yes they do. And God knows ive made my share of mistakes as a parent so I share part of the blame but honestly as I look back at the mistakes I made it was honestly because at the time it was out of my ignorance. Being a parent is a life long learning process. I would have loved to know then what I know now and yet I still would not be perfect. I always tried my best to raise my kids right. Not drinking or doing drugs, I even monitored their tv shows for years. Always taught them right from wrong and rewarded them for the good they did and punished the bad. And yet when you have a child grow up and go the opposite of what you taught them you wonder why? What more could I have done? Where did I go wrong? Because they never seen me do that. The only thing my kids seen me do that they should not was drag a guy outside who I seen hit his wife in the store and give him what he gave her. But I dont tolerate men that hit women and I lost my temper. But ive always tried to be a good role model. My dad was my hero growing up and I wanted that with all 3 of my kids. But my son just took his own path. One thats landed him somewhere he does not wanna be. Hooked on drugs and facing multiple felony charges at 17. Where oh where did I go wrong?

Definitely more power and way better graphics. The colors are way better on the s3 that's one of the first things I noticed. I don't the signal on the s3 that I do on my skyrocket so I'm on my second radio on the s3 and this one is a little better than the first it came with. As far as a rom I'm kinda waiting on the official jb update that's supposed to be released next week. Right now I've found a base aokp rom for the s3 and I'm studying on how to port orthus over to it. The build prop edits is gonna take me the longest cause they are for the skyrocket and I have to figure out how to change them for the s3... when the official comes out I'm planning on working with it to create a rom from scratch meaning all my own work or mostly my own anyway lol ..
[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:

MW2 was the last 'good' game I bought of that franchise. Black ops was the last game period.
[Off-topic] Fortune090:
Lol. Was being more sarcastic than serious. ;)

But yeah, I stopped playing super early into Black Ops 1. Maybe got to level 20-something? The overall franchise has seriously just been a rehash and resign each and every release. I was able to play BO2 early, and I would definitely say that it's bringing together most of the aspects I liked about the CoD's I've played up to this point. It's slowed down a little bit, which is a big thing for me. Reminds me a lot of CoD4. But like you said, when it comes down to it, it really just feels like just another name put on the same ol' thing.

Halo 4, that is all
[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:
COD is completely stupid, unrealistic and annoying in every aspect whatsoever. First, look at the audience. Little annoying children everywhere. Not to say there are no kids on other games, but there's a lot on cod. They're always trying to quick scope or "ninja defuse" or something for a montage. And boosting. That's all children do.

Next, the unrealism is too much. I understand that no 100% realistic game would be fun, but come on. In MW2 there is a perk called Danger Close. If you shoot a rocket onto a pillar 10 feet behind your enemy he'll still die from the explosion. And Commando. Any of you COD players will know what I mean. Granted, MW2 was the only COD game I eventually grew to like.

I'd sooner choose Battlefield because the multiplayer is much more intricate and realistic. And each BF game is an actual improvement over the last. COD slaps some new guns on, adds some maps and sells you the same multiplayer every year.

Hell, I'd go for Gears of War or Halo sooner. The premise of those games is killing aliens/non humans and you shouldn't expect too much realism from them. You would expect more realistic game play from a game with "Modern Warfare" in the title.

Sorry for the essay lmao, the mere mention of COD gets me angry

Zombies!
[Off-topic] whosgotlag:
Devils advocate; I much prefer Halo or Battlefield. But....

Immature userbase is present on all games; especially online console shooters. You just happen to notice it more on COD because you don't like it (Google 'confirmation bias'). The userbase speaks nothing of the game but I agree its annoying as hell

No argument that they don't switch up too much; but I believe the old adage of " if it ain't broke don't fix it" applies.

Modern Warfare just implies the time zone; not realism. I don't think it ever pretends to be real. Its a box level arcade shooter.

Also zombies.

I prefer Halo and BF, but CoD is fun.
[Off-topic] Sully6789:
The COD campaigns are always a blast to play. I'll never forget the AC-130 mission the first time I played it. Or the sniping mission from MW2. But the multiplayer? A couple games of that, and it completely ruins the experience for me. Halo on the other hand, the entire experience from the campaign to the multiplayer is always enjoyable. Now with Spartan Ops with weekly updates, I can see myself playing 4 for a long time to come.
[Off-topic] whosgotlag:
I've just been playing multiplayer. What SR are you?
[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
MW2 single player was great IMO. Their Multi well needed some re-balancing but Activition stacked that against the developers. Black Ops was the worst single player ever. I felt like Normal I could just stand still and the NPC do everything, like I wasn't needed. But in hard Ally NPC didn't exist to the enemy or it seemed. Very bleh. Multiplayer was OK I just suck, can't blame that on them :)

Ooh much more sense. Yeah I heard forge isn't too great but they're planning to actually include more content and fixes during the life of the game, as opposed to Reach which was only something every month.

Reddit has quite a few forgers, they already created a remake map pack.

If you like Halo at all, I can honestly say that this one is well worth the money

[Off-topic] Fortune090:
Dude, even easier, just go to find games (online) and play the Spartan Ops levels from there. Even if you bring in a full party, at the end of the matches you get around 5000 exp, sometimes more with commendations and such, every time in less than 10 minutes. ;) Can't remember the name of it, but the easiest level to do this week for ch 2 is the second one. And it's only on Heroic, so 4 people through Heroic is a cake walk. Got up to SR30 in a matter of 3, maybe 4 days now?

I dropped my S3 from less than 2 ft onto a soft floor and the glass cracked. The sr is much safer to use without a case.

To be honest I never found myself needing bulky cases. For the 8 months I had the SR I kept a hard plastic case on it and that did wonderfully. With my S3 I keep a TPU case on it, although my hard plastic Pokeball case just came in the mail and I might use this for a couple days.

It all depends on how it lands and how hard the surface is it lands on. Let's say the surface is concrete. Drop it flat on its back no worries. Drop it flat on its face maybe worry. Drop if on a corner and you've broken the glass. Just a thought about how "benchmarks" work. If your the supplier you'll always use the best "case"(pun intended) scenario. If your not the supplier and you level the playing field that is when "benchmarks" become worthy. Especially with materials testing.

We're looking at around 120-135 people every Xmas, turkey day, and Kentucky Derby. 3 turkey's, 2 hams, and fried chicken most Thanksgivings, and everyone brings a side and dessert.
