The crazy bus guy?

He was eating the guy as well.

So he went to the window and all "booga booga booga" with the head then went back to nibble for a while then back to "booga booga booga" then back to the body for another bite........

I'm a horrible person but I did laugh simply because this is so incredibly absurd.

How does this guy snap so well? He wasn't showing signs? He's was perfectly normal then the next thing you know he's nuts?

He wasn't squeezing hamsters like gogurt? Wasn't talking to a cup of dirt that he calls Gertrude?

He was just a normal guy and then "POOF"?

Jaysonguy

No one knows much about the incident. The major things we know are:
- The guy is not from Manitoba
- No one on the bus bothered to help
- He killed, beheaded, and ate part of the victim.
- He is charged with 2nd degree murder.

THAT'S the one that just bugs the heck out of me.

I'm a jerk but even I'M going to be like "hey stop stabbing Frank"

All these dirtbags on the bus were like "Oh look at the time, I have to go do something that's not here"

This is a really messed up story. I honestly cannot believe this actually happened, humanity is f'd the hell up.

This is the only news story that I can say actually makes me frightened...

Um, hello... The guy had a knife, and unless you're great at self-defense, martial arts, or cqc, there's a chance that he could stab you too, and the last thing we need is this psycho scoring a double-kill...

Now, I don't know what the scene looked like, but I guess you're right, if the guy is just going to town stabbing the other guy and not looking at everyone else, then there is no reason for others to not put the guy in a full-nelson and have another person just start wailing on the guys stomach. Again though, I have no idea what the guy was doing, so jumping the guy might not have been the best course of action...

Also, lol at "Frank"

They were on a grayhound bus. They have bags and stuff on the bus. No one could throw a bag at him? 3-4 people couldnt go up to him and try to stop him?

lol, that never occured to me...

Yeah, I am still thinking on how you could take that guy down and your right, just throw a bag at him and while he's recovering, just tackle him, disarm him, and beat the living daylights out of him.

Since everyone seems to be bragging about random things, I just bought my 50th RPG tonight. Kickin it mega old-school with Romancing Saga (PS2). I neither fully recommend this title to anyone nor have anything overly pleasant to say about this game. I just had a free credit at my Movie Gallery and combined it with $7 for another game I consider worth owning.

On a related note, Zelda is not an RPG. Neither was Kingdom Hearts or Hybrid Heaven. As soon as you consider them, then you have to include Dynasty Warriors in the mix.....ew.

On a non-related note: Do not watch Wargames: The Dead Code. I realize I'm not exactly current on that, but please do not give the Nelson rating any more than I did. Go spend your time on Starship Troopers 3, maybe that will be better.

Hurrah!

Alright this is my first time in this thread and I think that instead of making a new thread and having all you smart GameSpot people shake your head at me and make me have an even more scared respect for you guys, I will post my question here and hopefully you guys will be awesome and answer. Seriously, I'm scared of you guys. :( :oops:

Ok so here we go. I was looking at all the current threads on the first page and decided to go to the very back of the forum. I see threads from back in 2007 and what really throws me off is this:

Dec 31, 1969 6:00 pm CT

Double-u tee ef? They also had negative posts? What's going on? Is this also the reason as to why they were locked or something?

This is like half a week late, but whatever.

To answer your question, I'm pretty sure that any thread dated earlier than...I dunno, maybe a year and a half?...any thread earlier than that gets deleted. I guess those 1969 threads are the ones that are on the cusp of deletion.

PS, don't be afraid of us...we're cool.

Oh, and a question of my own for everyone: What's a good way to make money? I need a job, but I hate all the jobs on Craigslist right now so I'm trying to think outside of the box here. Any suggestions?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no...outSIDE the box. Im trying to think of ways where I can get money without working at a developed establishment. I just hate people.

Those are the result of forum glitches. The forums basically exploded last year, and the negative post counts were part of that. The 1969 date shows up quite often. If you've noticed lately on the main forums list, the announcement field is occsionally blank with a date of 12/31/96. Craziness.

We're hiring drivers at the auto auction I work at. You can move to Indiana no problem, right?

The only jobs I've ever gotten have been through people I know. So let everyone you know that you're looking for a job, and eventually something will turn up.

JordanElek

:lol: Well first I'll have to get a driver's licence...

I never knew how important it was to have a licence if you want a job. I swear, every-other job requires it. God, what ever happened to walking!?!

That's true. But all my friends right now are almost finished with school, or are finished with school, so they're getting jobs that require qualifications. Damn them and their degrees!!!

Meet more old people. They have more clout at their jobs anyway, and they're usually all about helping the next generation.

I guess I could try to meet old people, but then I'd have to meet old people. *Shudder*

Isn't there anything good I can buy and re-sell on eBay? Or, like, some other kind of "legitimate" business?

Wii Fit?

Hmm...good call, good call...Of course, first I need to find WiiFit.

But that actually sounds like a good way to make some cash. Plus, "hardcore" gamers won't care that I'm re-selling Wii Fit (like they cared when people sold the Wii itself), because "hardcore" gamers don't care about "casual" games.

If you have old comic books or something sell those? lol.

The creepy guy who owns a comic book store here in Mississauga, ONT wants comic's -- He won't stop calling my house and telling me about the comic books in my bin, but eventually I told him "Look, dude, I grew up" just to get him upset.

How do we know what to reccommend to you if we dont know your skillz.

Are you good with computers, are you a people person etc.

Ewwwwwww.

The guy is like an albino/hobo. Gross. He has a wife already though, which is weird, cause, who wants to do that to that.

His mom works in the store too, at least, she did, and she used to yell at him all the time.

"WHY'D YOU BUY THESE STUPID COMICS, NO ONE BUYS THEM!"

alexh_99

Good question...

Well, I'll tell you what I don't like in a job:

1) I hate dealing with customers. As in, I hate food jobs, retail, etc.

2) I like slower-paced stuff, I don't like to be rushed all the time

3) I prefer to work by myself, mostly so that I can listen to music on my headphones.

I think that's it. Anything that fits into that category works for me. I guess there are security jobs and janitorial work, but anything else?

Ok thanks you guys, it was just bugging me when I saw the date of the posts. It's good to know that guys like you will actually give a straight-forward answer and not make quick judgment of others. :D

Sorry for interrupting whatever discussion, but I HAVE to post this, its just too funny/sad.

i have a few options for you. The first two are good ideas for you to think about.

1.) you could cut lawns. Either apply for a job cutting parks etc. Or see what neighbours need help cutting lawns (go for the elderly people). You dont need to talk to anyone, you can listen to music, and i dont think you have to be rushed.

2.) be a painter. apply to a painting company, and go around to peoples houses and paint walls. Same as above you can listen to music etc.

3.) wait until the winter olympics roll around in vancouver, buy the tickets to hockey games. Go to the arena and sell them at the front.

4.)Discover a hidden talent. Singing, acting, painting, instruments.

5.) buy stocks

I cant think of any other jobs that are by yourself. When i do i will post some more.

How about a mechanic?

alexh_99

That first one is actually a good idea...maybe some sort of government job...that would be sweet.

Also, my brother is a painter, so if I need a job I can always get one from him. Thanks for the reminder on that one.

But as for the selling of the tickets, that was actually my plan a year ago. I mean, realistically, Canada will make the final for hockey, and the most expensive tickets are like I think $200 or something...now, if Canada made it to the finals, ticket prices would be through the roof. Only problem is that they'll sell out within minutes, and I don't have the money right now to buy them (they'll go on sale soon). Good idea though.

Hidden talent? Not me. Actually, the money I'm going to be saving up will sort of go towards a talent of mine. That's the business I'm trying to start. I've got a guy I'm going to work with; he'll be the brains, the "business" aspect, and I'll be the creative part. Hopefully that'll go well.

Stocks? Well, you need money to get into that in the first place.

Good ideas, thanks for the suggestions. Definitely some things to look into tomorrow.

Bob- go be a game programmer.

Please, i hate programming. I hate every part of it with my soul. I hate that i needed to learn how to program for Electrical Engineer training. I hate it even more after I learned how easy robotics programming was.

You like screwing with people's brains, go knock on Tim Schafer's door and tell him that you too, want to be a gaming god.

Or go tell Take Two you've made it with a woman. Apparently they're hiring to "even the curve" in their workforce.

Srsly.

So...you hate it...but you tell me to do it?

Do you hate me again?

Everybody thought Canada would make the finals in 2006. But nope.

Anyway now that they will put Crosby on the team, we willl be much better
