majorcinnimonbun Wrote:Yay research! ... But why do you want a PhD... doesn't really do much besides look fancy in my opinion?
Hard to be a professor and do research without one.
Proud to be a Geek - majorcinnimonbun - 07-02-2008
But you can still do it without it can't you? From my understand a few years ago you didn't need a PhD for a lot of things that people assumed you did, it just "helps". But I don't know for sure if it's true because I choose not to deal with things in my future life that would require me to have that.

At all public colleges, (i.e. State colleges and Universities) beyond community/technical, colleges you typically need to have a PhD to be a professor. It is very rare that a person becomes a professor without one.
People that publish research are either getting an advanced graduate degree or have one. Otherwise, not typically taken seriously.

People and their standards.... Can't they just deal with something without their being a title placed on it I mean there is this show.. I think Hotbeer and FreeWings that people lsiten to on the radio and it sounds kinda stupid, but then the show isn't. Oh god I hope they don't have PhD's...

Certain labels, I can see your point, but others not. I don't want some random person checking my prostate unless they have "M.D." after their name. Catch my drift?

After that prostate statement.... I disrespectfully choose NOT to catch your drift lol

I have a sword collection,
What swords do you own ? Are they carbon/spring steel or stainless/ornamental?
I want a Cold Steel hand and a half but everytime I get close to having the spare cash I find something else that's more important to put the $ $ $ into

I'm really trying to decide whether or not to get that cymbal, or one of those remote hi hat stands so i can get my hats in super close to my snare. Damnit i need to win the lottery

Catching your drift? Maybe this would give me a good chance to stretch out my hammies.

You really do exist in a world that's just a little different from the rest of us don't you ?
Proud to be a Geek - majorcinnimonbun - 07-03-2008
Yeah, I like it there, you don't have to do too much and it's really nice. Plus I'm still allergic to things that I don't want to do.. they make me cough and become even more allergic. You should join me, there's a parade too.

I think, because of my avatar, I should win top geek... by the way, It's not lightish red, it's pink!!! haha yay for Red vs Blue!
Proud to be a Geek - majorcinnimonbun - 07-04-2008
Okay just becasue an individual wears lightish red armor doesn't mean anything about them. Wait where did you get that spinny thing! I could have fun with that!

I feel I am the only one that can call themselves a geek and say that I think Halo is over rated, there are plenty of FPS games on the PC that are way better.

YES IT DOES!!! Donut is gay. There, I said it. ;D haha, just kidding. I found it a few days ago, I don't remember where though. 8-) My roflcopter pwns yours.

I don't agree that Halo is overrated, but I will agree that the PC does have some better FPS'. The thing that sucks is, my current computer is such a pile of steaming shit, that I can't play any of them...
Admin Wrote:Maybe I missed it, what band is CPDrummer in?
Chaos Prevails. Hence the CP
. We're a really unknown band from West Michigan. 
we're actually supposed to get some studio time within the next couple weeks, so maybe I'll have something to show off. ahaha.

Mr. Mike guy, be my friend please? Cause I really think Halo is over rated too.. I'm a hard-core PC gamer and if you compare PC FPS games to Halo ... it looks like Disney crapped out something. I like the game, Halo, but it is so not worth what people say it is. I've been playing Quake Wars and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl for a year or so now and still too addicted to stalker, too much stuff in that game to find. But I like Mike. ^^

It's lightish red.... And I can give you some studio time CP. ^^

The serious sam games are the most beautiful, and fun ones ever made.
I also think the Wii has a great setup for FPS games too because of the whole point and shoot setup, especially using the zapper.
Now I am not saying Halo is not fun, by all means it has a nice setup and all, however it just is middle of the road as far as how creative, and fun it is. It is way better than the half assed version of UT brought out for any of the systems, or even the serious sam games brought to the consoles. Games like rainbow 6 are also great but even better on PC. Then you have the few for the Wii, Red Steel was an abortion and should never have even made it to a master CD to be pressed, the COD3 and medal of honor were nicely done but not great, out of all of them Metroid Prime was the best, but then again it isn't exactly the average control setup either especially with the lock-on ability you have in it.
Nonetheless PC games just kick ass and I am impatiently waiting the release of Starcraft2 (I know not an FPS but still an amazing PC game) and will try to get it the day it comes out.

Hey Mike, same with you on the Metroid Prime being one of the best, and best, FPS for console. And I am so buying Starcraft 2 when it comes out. And the same thing goes for Diablo 3.... Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction has been like crack to me.

I don't think I'm smart enough to be a real geek, but I do play a good amount of first person shooters online and my car is full of fingers and boogernails.
