What To Do Until April?

[aliking]

d'oh!

• Will I be able to play my Flash hentai games?

Can't believe I forgot that one.

@Polossatik, yeah the polls too...Oh God the polls!

 

[Aninhumer]

• What is the exact status of accessory X?
• By the time Pandora comes out X will have better specs
• Can it emulate X?
• I didn't get a reply to my order email!!???

 

[Prometheus]

Don't forget "Here's something else that has gaming controls", you guys. (Though, I actually find those quite interesting.)

 

[WizardStan]

• Can it emulate X?

Even better, it can run X natively!

 

[xopher]

Will it work with pnd files, I searched and searched but was at my wits end and pulled the last hair from my head, I thought I saw something about captcha but not pnd..what's up with that?

Sink some hours into God Of War 3 (Mar 19th) should help to soothe the soul of those of us who feel like they are about to spontaneously combust.

You forgot the can it run (windows/halo/dialbo II/WoW) threads

Yep.
My favorites are the ones where someone is like "I don't know much about computers, but..."
and that whole sentence is redundant when they say something like:
"Couldn't you make a Linux version of WoW / Halo?"
"Couldn't you emulate Windows?"
"Couldn't you use WINE?"
"Couldn't you use magical 'virtualization' to make any of the above possible?"
"Well what if I had my PC screen-record WoW and..."
"Can I install Windows on it?"
"Can I have this one application that's an ancient piece of shit that I really really like and only runs on Windows CE 4.1?"
"Couldn't you just reverse the polarity?"
"Couldn't you just redirect power from the thrusters to the SGX"
etc.

Maybe I really do hate people. If any of my friends asked those questions, I would try to have some patience, but when people on the Internet do it, it's like a personal insult. How DARE you not know everything, right? It doesn't make sense.

I resolve to understand my own hatred of noobs by April.
Edit: Come to think of it, a good signature could solve all this. That's what I'm talkin' about.

1) Sex
2) Drugs
3) Rock 'n' roll

"to preserve forum members' mental health"

ROFL
IMO, any mentally healthy person will not wait for 2 years/"months"/whatever...

Anyway, there is a nice movie with appropriate name:
"A Very Long Engagement" ("Un long dimanche de fiançailles")
So please, watch it until Panda come. Over and over again.
Oh, this one is OK too:
"Groundhog Day"
If some likes more classic: "Waiting for Godot"
IMHO, this one is much better:
"Godot in this peace is a character coming directly from one of Leone's movie (...)"

btw, April? Let's be real:

"(The 22nd) is when everything should be here, including the cases. To be on the safe side we probably won’t start until a few days after that." (Craig)

So, few days (week) after case arriving, few weeks for assembling, few weeks for shipping...
May, at least.

 

[Awakening]

I couldn't take it anymore yesterday and started playing Super Mario RPG on my laptop, so that's one game I'm not playing on my Pandora.

 

[TaG]

you can have it your way no matter what that might be.

Amen

well, I could get some work done rather than lurk in these forums all day... nah!

Language like that should be banned on these forums!

1) Sex
2) Drugs
3) Rock 'n' roll

Uou missed one:
4) Repeat

 

[hitman]

• Furiously refresh the developer blog
• Furiously refresh the message board
• Email Jacquelyn daily and ask if my position in line has changed
• Wish I had a Pandora

 

[VRAndy]

Developers working on pandora games could submit them to Intel's netbook games contest in the mean time.

1) Sex
2) Drugs
3) Rock 'n' roll

1) i don't have a girlfriend (and NO to inflatable ones)
2) tobacco counts?
3) oh yes, that's what i have left (now playing: BECK - LOSER)

Perhaps the nerd's list would be more suitable?
1) pr0n
2) caffeine
3) Rock 'n' roll (it's pretty universal)

[...]
3) Rock 'n' roll (it's pretty universal)

There's a subtle difference here. Instead of traveling cross-country in a van to blast loud music and rocking beats at screaming fans with ear-splitting intensity, you're imagining cranking up your studio-recorded mp3s to a volume level that is loud, but not unreasonably so.

Taking March one day at a time.

Why? What's happening in April?

Doom! The Chinese will not make the 22nd so that'll tip OP's plans in to a cocked hat.

Pandora's will ship in May, or later, or earlier. Not in March tough.

I'm trying to be positive but I'm finding it hard. I think I needed this question a month ago.
I think I'm beyond saving. I'm not getting you down am I? I'd hate it if I was getting you down.

Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey...

Anyway, I approve of this list.

Trying to be normal, but my enthusiasm for Linux prevents that. I went to a bookstore today, hoping to pick up the latest issue of a magazine I like. However, they still had the February edition on the shelf. So I went to an assistant and asked, "Do you know when the March issue of Linux Format comes in?" By the time I got to "Format," she was laughing.

True story.
