What are you studying?
Team management.
Big book, lots of stuff that I should know but can't really cite...
I do it in one-hour increments. Put your computer away (or get away from it), and say, "I will read/study this book for one hour." If you have lots of notes already, read those over and over for that hour, pausing to repeat the information in your head when you're not looking at it. Take a break, then do another hour.

Are you male? Then don't worry, this is a common problem. While the night before an exam is not the ideal time to try and work out your learning style(s), there are a couple of things that will help.
Basically, at this late stage your best bet is to make a poster of some kind. This means that you can incorporate a variety of learning styles such as summarising and writing the information, colours and different ways of presenting the info (can you depict some stuff using pictures and/or diagrams?) and then by looking over what you have made you can also utilise visual learning.
I would assume that they don't show south american because it's such a mishmash between Spanish and indigenous groups. So some areas people just look Spanish, and in other places they look totally different

A bit slow since I actually have work today but
A) Composite Faces are hot. We had the light gun, 2 controllers, and mario/duckhunt combo. And we wound up having like 20+ games for me which is way more than I owned on any other consoles (Besides PC) We have this big blue/yellow/red carrying case you could put everything in as well.
And a large wood/metal storage cube that was Mario/Zelda themed.
I used to get sat in this computer lab at my shitty ghetto highschool. I started bringing floppies with like Zork or commander keen on them and opening them up with the dos prompt.
Yeah I got in trouble for "hacking"
Someone told on me.
"OOOH HE HACKIN DAT COMPUTAH MISS TEACHA OOH DAT CRAZY WHITE BOY IS TRYINTA HACK."
ITT, Ludious tells the story of how the word "hacking" got subverted form meaning "coding something complex", to "TECHA HE'S DOIN SOMETHIN' BAD WITH THAT THUR COMPUTA".
I think of hacking more as a "does it involve computers and rollerblades?"
I'm giving up talking about giving up ironically giving up talking about giving up ironically talking about ironically giving up Lent for Lent for Lent for Lent.
You should see Side Effects and tell me what you think.

Have you been around all this time or did my message on

I've been making more time for this forum recently (which means I'm in and out lol). I was happy to get that message, though!
Seriously, if you get a multi game you want to play we should get some games in. My 'reliably fun people to play online games with' list has fallen precipitously off a cliff recently :-(
Been trying to get my one buddy to update his Orange Box copy to Halo 4 so we can get some games in, especially since he just moved out to the Styx to take this 'better job,' and I'm like part of moving to the Styx and getting a better job means you get to make more time for Halo 4, right? RIGHT?!! But nah, it's still TF2 or bust with that guy...
Cool. I just bought ODST so I have a ways to go before Halo 4. Is it better than Halo 3? I disliked Halo 3.
It really helped me, personally, to write notes out by hand. This can still work if you've got them on the computer, since you can just copy them down and reabsorb information that way.

K, i'll try that. Thanks.
Then get all your notes out, close down every internet tab and RESIST the urge to click it back open again. My problem with this is it's so automatic and I won't realize I've done it until I'm browsing D&D.

If you disliked Halo 3, you just dislike Halo, because Halo 3 is pretty much the pinnacle of Halo.
ODST is nothing like Halo. It's another kind of shooter in the Halo universe, so you may like that.
There's actually a bunch of research about the different way people learn and the ways they learn to revise, and basically a lot of guys coast through school and have to suddenly learn how to study when they get to Uni. Can't cite anything atm 'cos it's been years since I looked at this stuff, but it's one of the reasons why in UK GCSEs girls started to look to do significantly better when they introduced coursework - basically, guys were very good at exams where they had to just regurgitate stuff they had been told in class and girls were better at stuff which required significant study and research during a sustained period (obviously this is all extremely general and does not necessarily apply in individual cases).
Damn, just noticed that Esh finally ate it in a H/A thread.

It's actually pretty lackluster. Some underage kid was told that she shouldn't drink and do drugs because they're illegal and she's underage and he basically said that's part of the high school experience and Ceres decided that was poor advice.

teacher was actually a pretty cool dude who just unfortunately didn't have a whole lot of spare time for me, so the assignments were often game related
i remember i was coding chess in java one day when we had a substitute and she came over while i had the graphical interface up and started yelling at me for playing games during class. after like the third time of trying to explain that, hey im actually doing work here i just got up and walked right out. bah.

As much as I bitch about the price of video games, I can't imagine what my parents must have dealt with paying the same price for said games back when I was a kid. I mean money was a lot tighter back then and I make as much now as my dad did in a job like 3x what I have today and he still bought me probably 4-5 new games a year.

I don't particularly know how or when my family acquired our NES - there's a photo of me playing it when I'm 3 years old, one hand on the controller, the other down my pants.

I would assume that they don't show south american because it's such a mishmash between Spanish and indigenous groups. So some areas people just look Spanish, and in other places they look totally different
Right but they are already splitting by ethnicity
You could at least have one or two of the indigenous groups
I was really curious to see my wife's ethnicity and it wasn't on there : (

adjusted for inflation, the xbox and 360 were the same price as the NES at launch too
A) Composite Faces are hot.
We had the light gun, 2 controllers, and mario/duckhunt combo. And we wound up having like 20+ games for me which is way more than I owned on any other consoles (Besides PC) We have this big blue/yellow/red carrying case you could put everything in as well.

Drinking PBR became so cliche
a kid down the street had one of those
we had a pong table top cabinet that died and my dad threw it out. (that's why we got the NES for christmas.)
if only he had kept it!!!

They do billboards in Portland.
Do they do billboards in Brooklyn?
More specifically, they cleaned up the area around the faces to put their opinion of attractive hair, necklines, etc.
The face itself is probably accurate, but everything around it is emphasizing the beauty.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
