What Game Are You Playing Now?

[Zelezny Chucks]

Should probably just kill ourselves now then to avoid dying of some horrible unknown affliction.

I guess you don't use your microwave oven either. No bluetooth devices? You change your route to work to avoid mobile towers. You triple insulate all electrical cables?
As a doctor you should also stop sprouting bullshit that has never been proven, only speculated.

OK one reply.. to the "bullshit" issue

I do use a microwave but I don't stand near it - distance helps.
I don't use bluetooth the antenna does concentrate the field and the distance from your brain is short.
I rely on the car to shield me to some extend as avoiding the towers is impossible.
The 50 Hz of the electrical cables is not as worrying as GHz frequencies in these devices - but I wouldn't live under high tension wires.
(There is strong evidence they increase the abortion rate in farm stock.)

The evidence about the issues I raised, and those above that you raised, is not purely speculative "bullshit", but substantial and growing.
Sure there is dispute in it at the moment, just as there is in most fields of science, but why gamble with your safety and your kids' safety?

But, hey, if you want to ignore - go for it.
Just remember all industries are "safe" until they can't lie any longer - look at asbestos...

Do you have some sort of broomstick tool to start the microwave with?

Watch the South Park episode on medical cannabis Psyber. I think it is right up your alley.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Thanks for your concern Psyber.

Even though you have some flimsy evidence, I have never come across a gamer who I would consider aggressive or threatening. In fact 99% are the least threatening people you could meet. Check out the people who compete in the MLG.

since i fall outside the demographic of 18-28 im just going to speculate that it doesnt effect me at all and continue playing FPS games and violent games. followed by me runningpeople down in the street with stolen cars

Even if I think it did affect me, I ain't stopping now. Once a gamer, always a gamer.

OK I'll respond to specific issues raised.

There is a case for the medical use of Cannabis, and also its use as a source of food, using low THC variants - quite apart from good old Hemp rope. (And my Hemp shirts.)

Broomstick? No - just a long arm..
My head is usually at least 65cm from the front of the cabinet so the field strength is down to 1/4225th of the power at 1cm.
Bluetooth (or your mobile phone unless you use it in speaker or with a plug in ear piece) means an antenna is within about 1 cm of your brain.
And with none of the shielding a microwave oven has in the cabinet - so throwing in Microwave ovens was a bit of a furphy anyway.

I agree the field is reduced by distance with WiFi, too, but WI-Fi is on more or less all the time while the Microwave is on only for short bursts - and shielded.

Seriously, take off the tin foil hat and leave us be. Go to crackpot forums for something.

Never heard so much dribbe and fake stats in my life.

If no one asks questions or makes further comments I won't reply or add anything...

You are out of touch with reality - I've posted info from creditable sources, even the W.H.O. are quoted on the Neurosurgical site.
Read it or ignore it as you wish, but don't talk rubbish about tin foil hats just because you don't like what the studies show.

PS: by "dribbe" do you mean the English word "drivel"?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Life is short Psyber, and I'm here for a good time. The issues you have raised are all first world problems, and none of them will keep me up at night.

The most baffling thing about all this is why you have a microwave if they are so dangerous?

P. S. You really should watch the south park episode on medical cannabis.

Any one tried World of Tanks?

love it! i have used nearly eery American and Russian tank in the game, and up to teir six on the Germans. i have found it very addictive obviously!

do you play it a lot Kahuna? are you in a clan?

Not in a clan,tipper,I don't think it right to inflict my incompetence on the same group all the time. I am far too impatient and impetuous to be any good at this game.
Currently working my way thru the Soviet line. About 15k XP away from an IS3 and a little further away to a T44.
Not far up the US line,just got a Sherman and have my sights on a Pershing or Patton.

Are you aware of the current promotion which gives you a T127 Premium tank and a days free Premium?
I will post links if you are interested,you can redeem a code to receive the tank,sell it for 170k credits up to 10 times for a total of 1.7 million credits. Very handy when grinding toward high tiers.

Cheers

Thanks dad, I'll be in my room playing PS3 if you need me, if not let me know when dinners ready.

OK - if you don't want to know, you don't want to know - but, as a doctor, I am concerned about what people are doing to themselves.
So, my last comment is that the brain modifications toward facilitating aggression may be associated with Epigenetic messengers switching genes on and off.
If that is the case the changes become inheritable with the genes, so you may not be just inflicting them on yourself.

Shoot the messenger, or just ignore him, as you wish...
I'll but out at this point.

OK ok I get it your concerned but you really have to read the name of the topic before you post.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Here ya go Pysber. All for a little medicinal cannabis.

yeah mate, well aware of the promo code. the T127 is actually a good little tank. made a change from my mostly higher teir stuff.

you should enjoy the mediums to come after the M4. i really didnt like my M4, it didnt suit my playstyle, i mainly consider myself a heavy driver. however the M4A3E8 was ok, i liked the T20, and my pershing had better stats than my T30 for a while (i think my T30 has caught up now). just got the Patton so at the moment it is stock and sucks, but i can see potential

if you are interested message me ingame. player Wombat756. i am on for a while most nights and we can platoon if you like. it can help with the grind. and i wouldnt worry about "inflicting" yourself on a clan, my stats arent great either, but somehow i got asked to join one. if eventually you are interested in joining one (or if you would like to now) just let me know and ill give you the details.

[Kahuna]

Thanks tipper,will keep an eye out for you ingame. Away with work till next weekend so won't be playing till then. Should get my IS3 then.
Cheers

They usually will if you have proof of the other stores pricing.
I had a $10K Coles/Myer card from an insurance settlement to spend during 2009-2010 and Myer never refused to price match JB or anyone else.

[Johno6]

whats JB got it for?

i can either go to myer target or k mart with this card.

ill look online now which is the cheapest

Bought 2 copies of Battlefield 3 tonight but might put it in the Christmas stocking for my son and myself. Looking forward to giving it a go.
