Cheaters...
...suck.
Got a 96% on the World Cinema test. Probably not so well on the American, but hopefully not too bad.
So people figured out how to cheat in Halo on XBOX Live. They basically suspend their modem from sending information to other players, which means the other players can't see them moving. They'll run in and take your flag and be gone without you noticing, then the flag just disappears. And you're screwed. It's starting to happen a lot, and all you can do about it is leave feedback saying "cheating" on their name. I hear that can get them suspended for weekends or something. And what's worse...the cheaters are never even on my team >:-( .
So for my screenwriting class, we have to type our final scripts in Final Draft 6. This is a program only available in one computer room on campus, and I don't want to have to go way over there every time I have a line to write. So I went on Limewire and tried downloading it, right? The first one I got wanted a registration number or something, and I couldn't find it in the Readme file, so I deleted it. Then I tried downloading Final Draft 7, which might have worked, except when it asked me to extract the files, it instead went and installed a German sex finder. After deleting the thirteen shortcuts it put around Cortana and uninstalling the program, it left one stupid icon in my taskbar that I couldn't delete because it was "active" and it wouldn't go away. Took a few days to get that one off. Stupid Germans. I'm not into Nazi porn.
I wish I could film over break, but I don't think it would be altogether wise. Just another opportunity for people to change their hair between now and the next time. We'll see. Oh, I need a new house to film in by Summer, too. Ben's character needs to have a house, and the one we were supposed to use (and had already filmed in) isn't available any more...I need to make some new friends.

Keep it, yo.

Yeah, it's about time the cheaters figured out how to "force-lag" their connection on X-Box. Microsoft tends to be rather ignorant when it comes to anticipating ways to cheat. That kind of thing used to happen on Quake3 back in the day, but certain anti-cheating measures were created to reduce that. If M$ gets their ass in gear that should be fixed in not too long.
Otherwise... I don't know if X-BOX Live works this way... but quake3 servers can set a variable to require pings under a certain number (when a person's modem is suspended, they are lagging their connection, which shoots their ping to a really high number). If their pings get too high the players get kicked automatically. Maybe you can find out if the server you play on for X-BOX has that kind of feature available. If what I described makes any sense whatsoever...
As for Limewire and Nazi pr0n ... there are better ways. shoot me an e-mail if ya want some tips . . . gotta keep it on the low.
