What are you waiting for, North America? Get posting!

[squirrelbo1]

yeah i know i cant have it, but deal with it. still posting

[VintageElise]

Post whoring FTW!

[squirrelbo1]

shut it !!!

was hoping to attract some attention.

[Eric]

And the current leader is... somebody who cannot win the Eagle Eye. How ironic. I will promote this on the main page so it gets more attention. (http://www.psu.com/Eagle-Eye-Converter-Giveaway-%28North-America-only%29--a010971-p0.php)

[Rapture]

Do want. :)

[BourneEnemy]

i definitely need this :)

[alez310]

now that is pretty sweet even though im not a heavy pc gamer it be real nice playing games like killzone, demon soul with mouse and keyboard, well guys much luck to everyone.

[Tyrien]

This thread is going to get spammed to no end and back with nonsense, lol. Awesome.

[LightAcexx]

roflcopter, heres my first entry

[Rapture]

This thread is going to get spammed to no end and back with nonsense, lol. Awesome.

It's not going to get spammed.

[Eric]

all in a row. did i not understand the rules?

Gopher, you clearly did not read the rules. There is no double posting allowed. You must wait for somebody else to post before you are allowed to make another post. That's part of the fun of the competition -- otherwise people would just continually spam this thread, like you have been doing. I'll let you off easy this time; I am going to delete your posts and let you try to participate again. If you break the rules again, you will not be considered to win the Eagle Eye.

[gopherbeans]

does this count as spam???????????????????

[Eric]

No, that is valid because it is not a double post.

[gopherbeans]

Sorry, I was wondering what double posting meant. now I know. I did read the rules...just did not understand. first time posting to boards like this.....I thought it meant not to post the same thing 2 times

[SnowHawk]

Good luck to all the people who enter this.

[gopherbeans]

What defines double posting????????????
No, that is valid because it is not a double post.

Editor (Eric): Double posting is the following.


Double posting

One common faux pas on Internet forums is to post the same message twice. Users sometimes post versions of a message that are only slightly different, especially in forums where they are not allowed to edit their earlier posts. Multiple posting instead of editing prior posts can artificially inflate a user's post count. Multiple posting can be unintentional; a user's browser might display an error message even though the post has been transmitted or a user of a slow forum might become impatient and repeatedly hit the submit button. Multiple posting can also be used as a method of trolling or spreading forum spam. A user may also send the same post to several forums, which is termed crossposting. The term derives from Usenet, where crossposting was an accepted practice but causes problems in web forums, which lack the ability to link such posts so replies in one forum are not visible to people reading the post in other forums.

[xzeroshockx]

posting doubly is wrong

[Fenix]

Im sorta confused on how someone doesnt know what double posting is. XD

[gopherbeans]

Wow, I understood that less than what you said before. And I am in my next to last year in a doctoral program. Good thing my program has nothing to do with internet stuff.
Fenix, I do not have 6564 post like you. I am 30 and we had Apple 2e's in my highschool. Sorry, I only opened a Facebook account 2 months ago (because my family keep telling me to). Next time I will ask you a question about Airplanes and see if you know the answer. If it makes you feel any better about your self, I also did not know what "trolling" meant. I am sure you did. Fenix, since you seem like you want to make me smarter....Does the XD after your post mean something? Also, I only found out that JK means "Just Kidding" about 5 months ago. But I have known what LOL meant for about 4-5 years.

Editor (Eric): Here is the definition of an internet troll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29). Guys, be kind, clearly he's just getting to grips with the web and its slang.

Oh, and XD is a kind of "smiley," like :) might be. See the expression in the characters? Look at it sideways.

[rblanshard]

Not double posting...not trolling...just getting my name in the hopper for a cool addition to my PS3 toys.

[circles]

Not that I need something else on my messy desk, but free is free!

[Dassureth]

ahhh, I want this! especially if they are debating some games like D3 and stuff to come on PS3, either way this would be great!

[Fenix]

Ouch, I didnt mean any offense.

Guess its just me, but "Double Posting" always seemed obvious to me. I'm sorry?

[NARCsnake]

i want it

[SnowHawk]

Ouch, I didnt mean any offense.

Guess its just me, but "Double Posting" always seemed obvious to me. I'm sorry?

It seems obvious to me as well.

[Silentkiller223]

New rule: The winner has to review it and tell us how well it works I seriously want to know.

[Eric]

Back in January, Steven reviewed the Eagle Eye Converter for PSU. (http://www.psu.com/Eagle-Eye-Converter-Review--a010529-p0.php)

[$Greatness$]

"You know your damn role and shut your damn mouth."

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

whats a forum?

[gopherbeans]

Sorry, Fenix, I also did not mean any offense. I (as you can see from my posting count) do not post often or at all. And when did you learn what LOL meant? We all have to lean sometime. And thank you Eric for teaching me stuff (and Fenix too). I like to be smart, I think?. I now know why kids in my class make fun of me (most of them are under 25). By the way I have 2 kids and a wife of 10 years so I have been out of the loop for a long long long long time. But I am a PS3 trophy level 13. And I love spell checker (because my spelling sucks).

[squirrelbo1]

woooooooooooooooooo

[dc89]

That Octo post was amazing!

[gopherbeans]

Great review. Keep up the good work.

[Tyrien]

Somewhat surprised this thread hasn't grown faster.

[gopherbeans]

Yes, a very slow thread. I think it is because it is not the main page.

[keefy]

Somewhat surprised this thread hasn't grown faster.


They read the review and are put ff I expect, I know I am but I was always uncertain of how good anything like this is, its never going to be exact mouse input the only way for that is for the developers to implement it.

[NARCsnake]

im up now and no work 2day 8(

[gopherbeans]

Yes, I wish developers would just allow mouse and keyboard support on offline PS3 games (And in mouse/keyboard only online rooms). The PS3 supports this but only if developers implement it. This seems like a missed opportunity for PS3 only developers. Another way to increase PS3 sales and PS3 game sales (as the 360 sucks-and yes I have a 360 and PS3 so I can say it sucks).

[NARCsnake]

that would be good i bought a keyboard for RUSE but it doesn't support it

[gopherbeans]

Yes, I but I like Move for RUSE. Move works good in Killzone 3 as well.

[NARCsnake]

ive been thinking of the MOVE and SOCOM has a PACK with the controlers and the game with the GUN for 150$ do u think its worth it

[MrFenwick]

Pretty cool device. I'll play along.

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

something tells me socoms gonna suck

[squirrelbo1]

something tells me your mom sucks


see im totally american.

Hurrr durr i cant find anything on a map. USA USA. **** yeah america.


SEEEEEE !!

:snicker

[gopherbeans]

Stay away from his mom....Trust me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Comatosed]

squirrel, why does every thread you get involved in go south? :snicker

[gopherbeans]

His name is Squirrel......So, you would expect it to get a little squirrelllllyyyyyyyyyy

[squirrelbo1]

squirrel, why does every thread you get involved in go south? :snicker

because im the ultimate stealth troll.


perhaps i should pick up your mantra of untouchable spam bot ?!


*waits for the inevitable*

[gopherbeans]

So you are saying you are the ultimate squirrel troll?

[NARCsnake]

how much could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood

somthing like that right?

[gopherbeans]

how much wood could a squirrel chuck, if a squirrel could chuck wood.
I think is what you meant to say. JK

[NARCsnake]

im lost in words

[gopherbeans]

I think what you meant to say was....I'm lost in the woods with the squirrel (squirrelbo1). I hope no one has a gun.....squirrel stew tastes good.

[Comatosed]

His name is Squirrel......So, you would expect it to get a little squirrelllllyyyyyyyyyy

do you need help? :snicker

[gopherbeans]

Yes can you help me.

[Comatosed]

and just exactly how could I help you?

[gopherbeans]

I do not know how you can help. You asked if I needed help.....So I am just trying to see if you can help and I was hoping you would know what kind of help I need.

[Comatosed]

men in white coats?

[gopherbeans]

I was thinking men in straight jackets and padded rooms....So I play my PS3 all day with out my wife trying to talk to me. Why would she want to talk to me? She has no life.

[squirrelbo1]

i think he is obsessed with me. spose its some attention :snicker

[gopherbeans]

No, I just like your name. If you would like I will leave you alone. Sorry, if you are offended.
Has anyone used this keyboard/mouse adapter or do they know where it is foe sale?"

[squirrelbo1]

not offended, trust me mate.

there is a review on the psu main site. link was posted in this thread but im far to lazy to find that.

[gopherbeans]

I saw the review. Just wondering if anyone other than the reviewer has seen or used one.

[squirrelbo1]

doubt it

[gopherbeans]

Me too. I have never even heard of it before. but always thought it would be cool to be able to do that(keyboard/mouse).

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

whys it called a keyboard anyways.

[gopherbeans]

I do not know. The mouse is easy to see. The keyboard should be called a letter board or button board. what other name do you think it should be called.

[keefy]

whys it called a keyboard anyways.
Played like a piano which has keys originally they were water based and spelt "quays" due to the amount of canal barges durign the 18th century which use locks to get up and down inclines in water levels.

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

its not really a board and theres numbers as well a letters so a alphanumeric plank

[gopherbeans]

I like the alphanumeric plank. But thanks to keefy as his info just mad us all smarter (if it is true).

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

Played like a piano which has keys originally they were water based and spelt "quays" due to the amount of canal barges durign the 18th century which use locks to get up and down inclines in water levels.

haha you said quay

[gopherbeans]

I wonder why they call it the eagle eye. is it an eagle with one eye. Or did an eagle take one of its eyes?????JK

[OmgItzOL]

I don't know where to post my post... so i'm gonna post it here!

[keefy]

I know its eagle eye but I keep seeing Golden Eye and go GGRRHGHGRGHHK when I releaise my mistake.

[gopherbeans]

I like golden eye. they should change the name. or is it just the eye of an eagle????

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

i believe its the eagle eye because their first choice for a name was already taken

[keefy]

Eagles have great eyesight, it is pin point prisicion, scientists believe they can see rodents/prey from very high up in the air.
Why when i google "eagle vision" does it come back with some crappy looking American cars?

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

it was an old chrysler model that sucked the big one

[gopherbeans]

I think all Chrysler's suck the big one (new and old)

[squirrelbo1]

you all suck

[gopherbeans]

squirrel, can you be more specific?

[keefy]

Its blowjob and steak day gues which he wants.

[gopherbeans]

keefy, wow that was sick. you should change your name to beefy after that post.

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

i wonder how much time we have left. also is there any way of winning by default?

[gopherbeans]

Yes, you can win by default if all others are DQ'd

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

how could you get dq'd?

[gopherbeans]

double posting. 100 post on this thread. or bad words.

[NARCsnake]

i go by the rules look at my infractions 8(

[gopherbeans]

Rules stink. Like my 7 month old's poopy butt.

[NARCsnake]

thats what the WIFE is for

[gopherbeans]

I thought the wife was to clean the bathroom. Mine has been trying to get me to clean the bathroom for 10 years, but the joke is on her, I will not clean the bathroom. I mow the lawn she is on her knees cleaning.

[taylormade03]

[NARCsnake]

^_~

[Comatosed]

thread will be closed today around 4pm GMT.

who wants it most?

[$Greatness$]

Since I'm not going to win, one of you should just buy another one of these things and send it to me free of charge. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

[largeselfregardgiantsack]

i agree. everyone should get one. equality for all. also some iodine tablets and a radiation suit if you live on the west coast

[gopherbeans]

Who doesn't want iodine. it could help you lose weight.
$Greatness$.....I smell what the rock is cooking and he should go to the bathroom so I can stop smelling it.

[NARCsnake]

ME ME ME i do

[gopherbeans]

NARCsnake does your name mean something that I do not see (other than narc)

[NARCsnake]

[gopherbeans]

Sweet, I like the name.

[NARCsnake]

Sweet, I like the name.

[gopherbeans]

[NARCsnake]

You can just make a new name and use that......right?

yeah but ill have to start all over ive been around for a good time so im not

[gopherbeans]

ya 2005 is a long time

[NARCsnake]

ya 2005 is a long time

that was the good times when posting meant something and u used the sp to buy stuff

[gopherbeans]

When was that?

[NARCsnake]

i think it stopped in 09 i could be wrong
when u made a post depending on the size u got SP for it and u where able to buy little icons in a store they had a bunch of anything that involved gaming and they showed up under ur Avatar but there was problems and they had an update and just took it all out

[gopherbeans]

that stinks. you didn't even get to keep your items?

[NARCsnake]

none of them and some ppl had a crap load

i remember ppl having over 100,000sp

and myself i had about 15,000 and 13 items
each cost 1000 each

on average it took like 15-20 posts to get 1000sp

[gopherbeans]

All that work down the drain.

[NARCsnake]

i really didnt care it just gave me a reason to post more

[gopherbeans]

Well....... happy posting.
