Alright, these are all off the top of my head, but I think I got most of em' from emails and such so you may have already heard some of them..

What do you call ten blondes lined up ear to ear? - A wind tunnel.

How do you sink a submarine full of blondes? - knock on the hatch.

What do you do if a blonde throws a pin at you? - duck, she has a grenade in her mouth.

After hitting the local bank, a gang of three women are trying desperatley to make their escape. Unfortunatley, their car swerved off of the road and ran into a barn. With nowhere else to go, the three ran into the barn and proceeded to conceal themselves in several empty sacks. Moments after they hid, the police made their entry and began to search the barn for the three suspects. Seeing several sacks on the ground, an officer began kicking them to figure out what their contents may be. Upon kicking the first sack, which contained a redheaded woman, he was greeted with several barks and whines. "Ahh, just a couple of puppies!" the officer said to himself as he continued the search. As he kicked the second sack, in which the brunette had hid, several meows arose and instantly made the officer regret the decision to kick the sack. "Ahh, just some kittens!" he said to himself. He turned slowly to the third sack and gave it a light kick, fearful of hurting any more innocent creatures. He was startled as a voice giggled from within, "Potatoes Potatoes!"

After being invited by their Canadian friend, (a self proclaimed master tracker), two Americans made their way with him into the woods and began their week of hunting. After several days of no luck, the Canadian suggested that for the next three days, each should go out on his own in turn, while the others waited at camp. Wishing to save the best of the game for last, the Canadian proclaimed that he would go last. Whoever brought back the best game was to recieve a six pack of beer from each of the other friends. At dawn the next day, the first of the Americans made his way slowly into the woods, and returned several hours later carrying a masssive buck accross his shoulders. "Wow! How did you get that?" asked his American friend. "Well," began the hunter, in the deepest, craftiest tone he could summon, "First, I saw the tracks. Then I smelt the tracks.. and then.... Boom! Shot me a Buck!" The Canadian assured the two Americans that once his turn came around, he would surely outdo the kill, but first it was the turn of the other American. Around noon the next day, his comrades were shocked to see him returning, dragging an adult grizzly bear through the trees back to camp. "How on earth did you get that!?" asked his American friend. "Well, " began the hunter, struggling to outdo the performance of his counterpart of the day before, "first, I saw the tracks, and then.. I smelt the tracks. And then....... Boom! shot me a Grizzly bear!" His friend lauded the kill, and once again, the Canadian assured the two that come morning, he would bring back the best game that was to be found in the woods. Morning came, and the Canadian departed the camp with his old rifle and hunting gear. Hours and hours dragged on, each one increasing the anticipation which with the Americans held for the return of their friend. Finally, the Canadian appeared, dragging himself on his belly. He was beaten and bruised with cuts all over. In reply to the questions of his friends, the Canadian adopted the same crafty smile and rough accent of his counterparts. "First.. I saw the tracks. Then...... I smelt the tracks. And then....... Boom! hit by a gidamn train!"

I suppose I should throw out the fact that I did not intend for that image to be used here, as it was just a demonstration to Lafi of the type of style I'm going for. There are many great artists in this union, and I would love to have someone more experienced than myself with this kind of stuff to collaborate with. Although the little preview up above is nothing more than a background with a center div, it goes to demonstrate the modern zen kind of feel I'm trying to go for in the site. Feel free to make suggestions on the outlined theme.

Anyone who is interested in joining the graphics design team, feel free to email me at Jack@jrforrest.net or contact me via IRC (nick: jjgy) at irc.accessirc.net. I'm also around the union channel (#gufupublic) on that same server a lot more often now.

In conclusion, I would like to point out that the domain gufunation.com has been purchased, and unless someone is willing to pay back the money spent on registering the domain, that will not be changing for a year or two :P I intend to stick with the original plan of using Joomla! to manage the entire site, so once it's up it will be easier for others aside from myself to keep tabs on things. I will go ahead and conduct all stages of development and testing on the aforementioned domain. You guys will all be able to stop by at any time to check out the progress on the site. Feel free to make any suggestions here on the boards or by email to suggestions@gufunation.com. I look forward to seeing you guys around the site once it's complete!

You think? I've seen sheep more on the defensive side lately, as Nintendo bashing has become much more frequent. The sales factor generally comes up as a counter-argument, though generally ineffective.IAmRodyle

It's actually hit both sides of the spectrum today.. yes, I know, I'm usually the last person to turn to when you're asking about SW, but I spent a little time there today -.-

I think Nintendo fanboys started taking some heat from Sony and Microsoft fanboys, and then the Hermits jumped in on it as well. The tables turned pretty fast against the hermits though with that god awefule Crysis thread and some grossly innacurate camparisons of PC and X360 hardware. Also, later on, some "statistics" began to fly around about how cheap games such as Bratz sell better than more well made stuff, and therefore the Wii was destined to win. Now we're seeing the Nintendo fanboys get their panties in a bundle as they try to retaliate.. God I'm bored :|

ok, if you are someone who makes cakes for a living, meanwhile someone who produces plastic containers makes way more than you, are you going to jump into that even though you are good at baking? you cant just jump from money wagon to money wagon products.

The change between producing your metaphorical cakes and plastic containers is a much larger shift than going from a higher quality game to a lower one. Hell, corporations would be overqualified now for that sort of stuff. They could pump out a decent crappy (yes, I did just say that) game much faster than the competition due to the level of experience and resources at play.

you get hardcore games that appeal to everyone. And I never said Bratz and Cars outsell Halo. But look at the sale charts. The majority of the games in the top ten are mostly movie tie ins and casual games. Most of the market is flooded with these kind of games rather than hardcore games. But developers still make hardcore games for the hardcore gamer.

Er.. for starters, I'm not even sure if your statistics are correct. I don't stay as up to date on the actual sales numbers as I should, but I don't ever recall seeing a movie game in a top ten sales chart. Secondly, you have to look at the profit companies are reaping from these games. Bratz, which sells for twenty bucks a copy, is still only pulling in a lesser profit ratio than games such as Halo.

[QUOTE="Hir0_N"]Not again. You damn ignorants should just stop crying. Nintendo is winning yes, but why do you think games like Halo, ME, bioshock wont exist?Gzus666

probably because if they could make a game that sells twice as well for easily half if not less of the development cost, they will move in that direction instead

There will always be a demand for high end graphics such as those delivered by Halo and other such franchises. As long as this demand exists, it will be filled. Sure, the market may swing a bit towards the mainstream, and developers may begin kicking out lower quality (graphically) games, but that hole will be plugged quickly if it ever shows up.

PS3 is a piece of crap everybodyt wants it so they can sell it on ebay.And if they wanted it for playing games they just want the games with the good graphics the 360 is kick butt

stevemcguy

Oh yes.. people only buy the PS3 so they can sell it on eBay. I see someone has trouble grasping basic economics :roll:

As you can see, when we are talking about the sales of any one of the systems" we are talking specifically about the well-matched, interacting ones that contribute to the basic function. If Xbox 360 is an IC process, adding a controller to improve it does not make the result non-IC. It just means that the controller is not part of the basic function.

Now, let's look at ps3 list of ways that an IC system can evolve. (1) is Blu Ray. If you delete this part from a system, the subsystem that remains must have been there from the start. Saying that "I destroyed Blu Ray but now have only PS3" does not say why you got PS3 to begin with. Remember that not only do all the enzymes have to be there, but they all have to function in just the proper manner. In The End Xbox 360 will evolve as the Elite console being the square roots of it's purchase is Games"HeHateMe_basic

Er.. I'm sorry but that was absolute rubbish. For starters, you're using additions as a console as the base function in your horrific little demonstration. Games are the reason we buy game consoles, not a Wiimote or a Blueray disc drive. You may throw these out as selling points of a system, but this means absolutely nothing as the system simply would not sell if it could not play games.
