glitches

Are they fair, is it cheap to use glitches when gaming online? Personally I think its the cheapest thing to do, thats not how the games supposed to be played so dont cheat. Playing call of duty modern warfare 2 was frusterating for a while to say the least. People running around with a javeline, getting more than a few care packages, those overpowered 1887's with incredible range. I stopped playing for a while till they came out with a patch, but still it was pretty stupid playing with 14 year old kids manipulating the game. I know some people say its in the game, you might as well use it, but not when you have to hold x, switch grenades, then throw a knife, the game is not supposed to be manipulated like that. But everyone has their own opinion, and think of things differently, so is using glitches online cheap or fair play?

team COCO

It was mentioned briefly in class the other day, and let me say conan is getting screwed! I don't even think that Jay Leno realizes how much of an idiot he is making himself look like. It has been a dream of Conan's to host late night, and since Leno sucks NBC decides there gonna bump Conan to 12, which as letterman pointed out is not the tonight show, its the tomorrow show. Conan is right for not wanting to follow leno. Leno has said he is going back to host the tonight show, and conan will be going most likely to fox, and take all of his viewers with him. NBC messed up big time, and should have just dumped leno. Conan earned the right to be the host, and I think more and more people are starting to realize that Leno is not funny. I cant wait to see Leno just get destroyed by whichever network Conan goes to! It is refreshing to see the support Conan has recieved from all the other latenight hosts though. Enjoy! I love how Leno got trashed on his own show! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axwO6BkCtIo

the information age

Is facebook, twitter, or myspace, really that usefull or enjoyable, that billions of people need to use it everyday? Some people shape their lives around facebook. They feel as if joining a group means something, it makes them a better person if they join a group about not killing dolphins, and really joining a group on facebook means absolutely nothing. Instead of joining all the stupid groups you can find on facebook, you could be doing something meaninfull. But aside from negatives, there are some positives.

Facebook does provide some usefull information, and because it is used so often it is a great thing we have social sites like these. Facebook and twitter allowed family members from haiti to contact each other through facebook, and twitter to let them know they were all right, in addition to providing information about how they can help what happened in haiti as shown in the link above. As stupid as some of the stuff is on this sites and how annoying they are sometimes, we need them and its very important in getting information out.
