The descent into porn’s hell is probably what’s make most of the porn actors do this kind of job.
I don’t say it’s the case for every single woman who plays in porn movies, but it wasn’t probably their dream for most of them.
Ever wonder how researchers in Antarctica keep away cabin fever and pass the time when they aren’t researching something during the period of time that they are pretty much completely cut off from the world? Apparently, this is the answer. It’s going to be one hell of a long night down south in so many ways…
I always tought that during their free time, they were hunting aliens.
Aren’t “the thing”, “alien vs predator” and one of the X-file ep based on the reality ?
No, the aliens hunt the scientists in their free time, and play poker with the snowbears. And the movies you mentioned are just the dramatised versions of reality, the preadators don’t hunt the aliens, they just play intergalactic tag with them, and “the thing” is training to be the worlds best mime. Simple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_farming
tl;dr - people use real money to get fake money
On a side note, here’s a Puppy Killer:
Wow… The RMT exist since… phew something like 7/8 years.(almost the beginning of the MMO)
And it’s a disease on MMO… Some even have their economy sistem totally destroy (Like FFXI…)…
But it’s funny because there’s actually a Wikipedia article on it!!! 
Seriously though… best article on online gaming is this one:
http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Tourneyfag
That’s because they try to emulate the complex dynamic of economics in a simplistic virtual environment. The virtual also suffers from limitations and exploits not found in real world. For example, game gold is potentially infinite (whereas real printed money is finite). There was this online article by a doctorate mathematician, who explained the whole thing. I’ll see if I can find it again. However he came to the conclusion that it was the game mechanics itself that was flawed, not the people exploiting it. Humans exploit everything, that’s just our nature: real life or virtual.
I don’t agree at all.
Not all human are like that… In my 8/9 Years of MMo (I begun on Ultima Online with a PII, Voodoo 3, 128 meg of ram and a 33K for modem ^^) i never sold item for high and stupid price… When i found an exploit i automaticaly reported it and didn’t used it.
Maybe i’m too Honest or too proud (I want to have a perfect and legit char that i leveled up without using any cheat or bad trick)
But see you’re a law abiding citizen. As real life obvious reveals, humanity is filled with those who would happily break or bend the law for their own benefit: good or ill. To think that a virtual environment would be devoid of such ill behavior is naÔve ñ especially given online anonymity. Furthermore, the vast majority of MMO lack “law enforcement” to the extent it’s found in the real world (for example the number of mods to players), as well as damaging legal repercussions (most severe punishment is a ban… pretty mild really).
Ignorance of factoring human greed is a major failure, because they are attempting to mimic (if only simplistically) something that predominantly exists because of human greed. Pricing due to supply and demand are also thrown off axis, due to the infinite money issue, which in of itself allows the exploit of gold farming. There’s also the “closed bubble” economy, where innovation and diversification of available products is only allowed by an incredibly elite few (the mods and programmers). In short: the system is inherently flawed… which is why MMO’s across the board suffer from these same issues. The core matters have not been addressed.
As far as my own experiences go, I’ve used the economic system to my advantage on numerous occasions. For example: long ago, on Ragnarok Online, there was this item called “Slotted Sunglasses” that only cost 1 million zeny to create. Because the quest granted some great XP, I ended up making over 100 of the damn things. Soon thereafter, I quit the game due to personal matters that were more important. A few years later I started RO again, and lo and behold, Slotted Sunglasses now cost 80+ million zeny each, as the ability to make them was removed. Needless to say, I was billionaire overnight… and even had my account temporarily locked, because the GM’s thought I hacked the system or something. It’s not my fault they got so expensive… but it is my fault I got rich so fast.
Could I have sold them at the old 1.5 million price I remember they sold at long ago? Sure. But then, I’m crazy not stupid. Now if you’ll excuse me, my Enforcers tell me someone hasn’t paid back an under-the-table loan. Narg, the iRO Godfather, does not take lightly to mooches - an example will have to be made. 
Err… Not really.
What i really want to say that’s there is not shorcut in life and in MMo is the same.
If for a certain situation you can cheat or exploit a flaw of the system… When a same situation arise again but this time there’s no cheat or exploit, you won’t know how to overcome it when the full legit player who already overcome those trial and hardship will advance forward like it was nothing while you’re still trying to figure how to do it.
It’s the same that’s the Hare and the Turtle ^^
The fundamental problem (and I speak generally, not actually being familiar with the nuts and bolts of an in-game economy) is that there are gold sources, but not gold sinks. As a consequence, the gold supply continually rises. This means the only way there won’t be inflation is if the things that gold is spent on inflate in supply as well – supply vs demand; more gold, means it’s less valuable.
If an MMO implemented some mechanism that caused gold to be removed from the system in significant quantity, then they could tweak it such that the overall supply per capita per level would be roughly constant over time.
As I understand it, inflation in an MMO might appear to be caused by gold farmers, but only because they produce a lot of it (it’s their job, after all) – it’s something that would have happened anyway. People buy the gold because they need it, so they would have gone out and gotten it anyway. (I know it isn’t truly as simple as all this, but it’s not too far off, at least if I remember this right.)
MMOs have gold sinks. Anything that requires money to buy— equipment, potions, pets, whatever.
The problem is “drops”. If you have a monster mob of were-rats, and their dead hides are worth 5 coppers a piece, when you kill that mob of 25, you loot their pelts. You’ve now just “created” 25 were-rat hides. You take that and sell it to an NPC merchant and get you some gold. The pelts have stopped existing, but not the gold. Rinse and repeat— you have a growing amount of gold in the money supply. Time = gold.
Add to the problem that every new account starts with something, and again— you will add to the total amount of gold in game. Demo and free trials can bring a large flood of starting gold, and that reduces the value.
The problem is because items come from nowhere, and those items are then turned into gold. Without destroying items AND gold in the same proportions that they are created, well, you’ll always get inflation. But when you destroy players items (or cost them too much gold on pissant things), you piss them off— and they are who the game has to please. Without them, the game won’t make RL money. So— busy players = dropped “gold” in the game’s accounts. Which is why MMOs all do the time = gold mechanism. It’s really how most MMOs make their money.
Hey! What the…

http://cbs3.com/topstories/sexual.assault.sleepover.2.745615.html
6 teen boys (ages 14 to 15) are having a sleepover. There’s two mothers in the house. One of the mom’s decides to have an orgy with all the boys that aren’t too frightened to get near a real, live, woman. So, among other things, she performs a strip-tease, various forms of sex (including having sex in the shower), and in general has a really good time showing the “boys” how to be “men”. The other mom freaks out, and tells the boys NOT TO TELL. So, of course, one of them does. I wonder— do you think his friends still talk to him?
Just remember ---- drugs are bad, m’kay.
Holy shit…
I can’t belive that these kind of things really happen… AND THAT I’M MISSING IT OUT! Medals to the mom. And death by bullet to the faggot who went to the police!
No they are wrong…
What’s outrageous is that the mothers are not hot (There are pictures of them)
If they were hot, it wouldn’t be a crime. In the Sagara family, it’s ok to sleep with Maria because she is pretty.
Nevertheless I really like to see how concerned some people can be when 15 year old boys have sex with an adult.
I guess it’s because Jesus or something like that said that it’s wrong (or at least a part of the bible talking about the story of a tree and a bird has been interpreted as a warning for this kind of situation).

Old SNES game: Weaponlord
Basically a Conan fighter. :lol:
However its some great info on a game that was okay for a SNES title… but way too late for it to actually become good (the dawn of PS1). 
I actually own this game for SNES (it was also available for Sega Genesis). My favorite character to play as is/was Jen-Tai. In regards to story and character design though, I think my favorite is Bane. I personally loved the game, though I often was frustrated at its difficulty. If you do a search on youtube, there are some great videos some people have created that showcase the game.
I’ll go hunting for those vids. 
Space Ace was really cool… (and Kim is such a tsundere), but it was really Dragon’s Lair 2 that REALLY defined the LaserDisc Arcades. Don Bluth was a genius. 8)
Speaking of Conan type games…
Summary: Age of Conan publishes a patch that made all women’s breasts “realistic”.
Massive riots erupted and programmers were burnt at the stake. (well, almost. ;))
Where do I get a subscription to this sports league? That’s a sport I might actually follow!
