For the next week and a half I'm the IT guy for the Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Department at Penn State Univ. Starting Sept 7th I'll be in the Technology Early Career Development Program to become an IT Project Manager at CIGNA up in Hartford
22... and yes the red hair is natural
Thought I'd toss in on this one too... meant to when it was originally posted nearly a month ago, but I didn't have a pic of myself to post. This one is of me sitting in my office a few weeks back.
I haven't played any multiplayer yet (I got swamped with real life stuff shortly after getting the game), but I imagine it's a really adrenaline-pumping experience with the lighting (you can turn lights off and on in rooms too) and visuals... can't wait personally.

After clocking a few more hours on the game, picking up a new weapon and having the bajeezus scared out of me a few times (I'm sorry... whispering voices beckoning me down long, dark hallways while I hear things scamper behind the walls freaks me out) I've come to realize the single biggest bet peeve I have with this game. After reading the big batch of reviews on other gaming sites this morning, I realized I'm not alone on this one. Everythi

When I said the thank god for blacklist, it was because adnauseam had flooded my entry here with 8 or 9 of the same response, then made some snide remark about getting more points for his flooding. He's now banned from participating in this blog. This is a feature I'd be more than happy to pay for!
Oh the joys of the blacklist feature...
Brad and other gods of JU, please find it in your hearts to give us the ability to filter blogs so we NEVER see their articles! After Diamond-d's recent spam fest, and similar acts by other bloggers, it's getting harder and harder to find the interesting articles on here. They're all burried under a wave of crap because someone wants to get a higher score or user ra
Note: This is a follow-up to a previous article I wrote back in May (http://zoomba.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=15738) This is a difficult entry to write, because it’s hard to say all of this without coming off like some whiney infatuated teenager (even though I’m 22, and past the stage of silly crushes). It’s also difficult because I’ve always had a serious problem with actually expressing my real feelings and emotions. It’s the most common complaint leveled against me by any of my ex
Your just as likely to get responses here as you are on any blog site. Your popularity in terms of responses is directly related to whether or not you write things that are of any interest to anyone but yourself. You say you write good, thought-provoking posts, but I'm guessing that's more your ego talking than anything else. I have 24 articles written, perhaps a third of which were at one point or another featured on the front page of the site, a
The spam has already begun... 2 spam mails within an hour of signing up.
I've done the ebay offer as it's the least offensive of the available options (I just created a second ebay account). They say it will take several days for the offer to credit to my account. I'm waiting to see what happens next in terms of spam that will come spewing into my gmail box. Lets see how things go...
I've seen all of these "free XYZ if you refer X people" offer sites before, but I've never actually given one a shot. I'm curious now if this one is real at all. The deal is refer a bunch of people to the site and you get a free iPod. So, if you have a spam mail account (like hotmail) or something you can toss into this sign-up form, it'd be appreciated. I'd like
Looks like JoeUser is going to get a real test today... seems you've been linked from PennyArcade A mini-slashdotting if you will -Z
I've been watching the GarageGames site lately and I've seen some really neat and fun games and ideas come out of there. Innovation will have to come from the little guy now because they don't have the huge budget concerns and marketing crap hovering over them that anyone working under a major publisher does.
There is some truth to the fact that the ideas have stagnated into "safe bet" games that are just iterative improvements on a proven design, but that same problem plagues the consoles too. I haven't seen a really innovative game for any platform in a while now. No publisher is willing to risk a large chunk of cash on something that isn't guaranteed. Between overused ideas, the fact that 90% of the PC games released are in beta form and the steep up
I'm absolutely thrilled that a service like this is FINALLY available. Between what you're doing here and Valve's plans to release HL2 via Steam, I think we may be on the brink of a completely new mainstream distribution method, one that saves me the hassle of tracking down a store that has a game in stock or the frustration of losing a CD key or a CD. Gamers already order games online from retailers, I think this is simply the next logical step.
I never said this was heaven... in fact they made a point in the movie that everyone, regardless of what they were like in life, went through this same process. It would seem that heaven or hell would play out in the memories you had to choose from. All-in-all it's more a commentary on what ends up being the most important to us as opposed to a commentary on God or the nature of heaven or hell, they specifically avoided it in the movie.
Last night I saw an interesting Japanese film on campus called Afterlife , the idea is that when you die you go to this large building and you are assigned to a worker. What you have to do is select one memory from your life that is the most happy/meaningful/important to you. You have three days to consider your memories and then select one and describe it in
Sorry if it looked like I was defending these guys... I'm not. They get ONE warning, and after that, I fully support negative reenforcement through the use of scisors...
As a 22yr old guy who lives in a University town, I can personally attest to how damn hard it's becoming to tell the legal girls from the illegal ones. Summer here is particularly hard because you have mostly incoming freshmen (17 and 18yr olds) running around in almost nothing... and then there are all the summer camps that get hosted here (academic and sports) with 14-16yr olds running around in almost nothing. Some are easy to spot, but most aren'
But what do you do if the inlaws make it a point of hating you, making YOU thr brunt of every joke and criticism?
