i'm still mad about amazon's wishlist. i hardly ever buy from there now for that reason. it's just not a useful place for me to browse my reading interests anymore. i'd rather go to a bookstore and accidentally find upon/remember an item i no doubt wishlisted in 2009. it's about as efficient.

One of the best things about book stores is that there's hardly any damage beyond basic shelf wear (if even visibly). Ordering to your doorstep is flipping the coin on packing integrity and heat/moisture damage. You can also take in more at a glance than anywhere on amazon. Also if it's a used store, sometimes you run into early/first editions, signed copies, and hard to find titles.

Beyond that, for me, it's pretty much nostalgia for the sights and smells from all the time I spent at the library in the past.

Another thing that irks me about amazon is how items will sometimes far exceed msrp with no notification. There are even apps you can install to keep the website in check on this.

A girl fainted while giving a presentation in my class today. I grabbed her before she hit the ground though so she didn't get a concussion.

Gameplay basically hasn't improved since pong.

what kind of cheats did you use for bf2 back in the day? How did you go about buying them?  Was it just a matter of googling "bf2 cheats" and purchasing the most popular one that showed up in the results?

Genuinely curious about the seedy marketplace that is game hax

Some of the most fun games I've played in BF2SF were on Warlord. I'd probably rate it a notch or two higher than Pong.

I never bought hacks and was never accused of hacking - thats how good of a player I am.

Let me set the record straight before I explain: I was a great BF2 player and only used hacks for a month at the end. BF4 I sucked at but BF4 sucks anyway. I used hacks for a month too recently.

There were a few places to go to. 187ci and Artificial Aiming are the only two I know of nowadays. 187ci is pretty expensive IIRC but they never had any detections and would give you a new key if you burned one. AA was the cheaper option for a 17 year old. I think it was like $20 for a month and like $100 for a year. I did a month. I burned one or two CD keys with AA in BF2. I got PB banned for modified files but never "Aimbot" or anything like that so I never showed up in a Punkbuster database as a cheater. So with a new key I could just go play again with the same account.

In BF4 I didn't get any detections. I got a PB ban for "Suspicious stats" since my score per minute is like 3500 and I have 12% accuracy with LMGs.
https://bf4stats.com/pc/m8v2

So I get kicked off of servers running the PB database shit but on servers not running it, I can still play. All "Dice Official Servers" don't run it so I can play on those all I want which makes zero sense. I bought BFV on the same account and get to play on any server since the PB ban didn't move over.

So basically if you have the money, which by middle class American standards isn't very much, you can cheat all you want in these games.

How the system actually works: You go to the AA website, make an account, pick the package and game you want, and then pay by PayPal. You get an email from them instantly after you pay which means the entire operation is automated. They send you a link to the launcher download and you just move the .exe to your desktop. You run it then and login using your details when you made you account. When you login, you see a list of games from which you bought hacks. You can mess with the settings and then run the game. Once the game is running, the launcher detects it and you then push the button to start the hack injection which is instant. Then you can start playing. 

The only thing that is sketchy is that running the launcher made my antivirus go berserk and delete it. So you need to disable your antivirus when you go to play. The people who run AA say that the way the launcher works by injecting itself in games makes antivirus programs think it is a virus. Whatever. If they wanted to use 5% of my system resources to mine Bitcoin while I play, I wouldn't mind or notice anyway. After my month was finished, I reformatted my hard drives to make sure nothing was left behind anyway.

If I was really obsessed with a game like I was with BF2, I guess I could just buy a cheap gaming laptop, never put anything important on it, and hack away. I blow like a gaming laptop worth of money on drugs and other stupid shit anyway.

Questions?

Warlord, Iron Gator, Ghost Town, and Mass Destruction were all great maps though I had to google the last one.

I remember all the hacking on Jedi Knight 1 was so developed that there were actually self-appointed cheat-police who would go around and hack-battle other cheaters. Sith vs. Jedi all over again. That extended the life of the game for awhile.

i have new neighbours in the apartment next door. each of our apartments sort of has a large post-industrial bay window-type thing, where if you sit in the window you can see into the next apartment. i came home last night and put on some music (my hi-fi and turntables are in one of these large bay windows), and a guy (a white guy with fucking DREADLOCKS) was in his window petting his cats (pets are strictly forbidden in this building). i sort of waved and made generic good-willed neighbour gestures. i smiled. this fucking dreadlocked white twot just stared me in the face and continued petting his fucking cats. like stone cold stared me down. nothing.

today i am going to play very loud and very obnoxious disco music all day long. i hope that guy catches something incurable.

You could just ignore him, since he's not actually disturbing you.

Maybe the wigger is retarded? You don't know.

Plastic straws. They got to go. I don't use straws so saving the environment is a great idea. You shouldn't drink anything but water anyway.
