Nope, I was just screwing around with all of the crazy assertions around here. I also found it an odd "lot" of consoles to post. Almost nobody would have the desire to purchase all three at once.Quote:

I read somewhere you finished graduate school with a 4.0. Did you form any theories for success studying at the graduate level, specifically in regards to time management?
I did fine by attending every class without fail, hand writing every word of the lecture, and then reading whatever extra material was required. I found that exposing myself to the facts in threes was key, hearing and writing, reading and writing, and then studying while reading or hearing. That was just for memorization though.Quote:

Then I condensed my notes into reviews hopefully before the due date. I did fine with this method until they wanted me to reproduce my book reviews from memory without any notes at hand. So I have a 3.9 GPA and no degree out of Grad school.
That sucks. I'll try that 'threes' strategy.
I'm rounding up my undergrad studies in chem and I'm anxious about grad school. There's so much expected now, I can't imagine grad level work. There aren't enough hours in a day.
I know a few history grad students. They're crazy. They can talk about the most obscure passage from the Nicene Creed as if they were there when it happened yesterday.
EDIT: I rep in spirit.
Grad school is all specific, not at all general. So I don't know what field you are applying or accepted for. The GRE is the first obstacle, as are undergrad grade point averages. The only other advice I received in grad school, that I maybe should have found a way to accept, is that each book should be your entire world for the time you have with it. I didn't have that luxury, or ability to self deceive. Ultimately my graduate school time was certainly educational, but expensive to the point of potentially ruining my family finances. I would say make sure you love academic politics and reading before diving in.Quote:

How can a book be your entire world if you take more than one class?Quote:

Grad school is crazy expensive. I need a scholarship or I'm going to be a hobo student.

Okay I'm not rich. 3 PS1s is all I could afford.
The medical industry is good for wage earners right now, and hopefully in the future. I know guys who basically only went to college to be a radiologist, and other guys with unrelated bachelor degrees who sell medical equipment across the country. If I were to stop working for myself and raising the kiddos, I would probably turn there first. My advice on the grad school costs, if it doesn't pay for itself through a graduate assistance ship, stipend, or grant it definitely_is_not going to pay off. The degrees that are actually in demand will usually pay you to get them.Quote:

I do. I enjoy what I do, people like to hear about it. When your friends and family brag about you, it makes you feel good.Quote:

Anyway....
I bought Neo XYX for the DC and got it in today. It's a cool game, but has some weird video modes like horizontal. It got me thinking, why didn't they just make it a vertical shooter in 4:3? The NeoGeo's default configuration is 4:3 and I've never really heard of anyone complaining about vertical shooters in 4:3. So why didn't they just make the damn game in 4:3? MUSHA doesn't have any problem being in 4:3, and if the prices on ebay are an indicator then the people who want to play it don't really mind either. Come on devs, give us a shmup in 4:3.
