Welcome, and nice to finally hear what is going on in the CP office. I see that you have been working in Stockholm, maybe you speak Swedish?

Welcome Bianca. I am glad Chris has finally got some good help. Hope you have many good years with the CP team. As for an icon... maybe Bob with a wi_z_zards hat, though the straight jacket sounds more relevant. Oh, and anything you hear from an Aussie about us South Africans is patently untrue. We are great people, it's the Aussies you should watch out for. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.

....a big hello to everyone. As the new marketing hand at Code Project I figured it was time to stop being a voyeur and jump wholeheartedly into the lounge. This is only happening because I'm finally feeling settled in at the CP office. For the curious, here's a sampling of things I've had to try and get accustomed to over the past couple weeks: 1. Hearing a football being kicked inside the office, and not knowing whether to keep typing or place mug of coffee in a secure place 2. Feeling a compulsion, bordering on unease, when 12 hours pass without some quality time with the Xbox 3. Listening to Chris wax poetic over VB 4. Knowing what the clickety police are 5. Wondering if, for a non-programmer, understanding the concept of clickety-police is a little freaky 6. Deciding it is, but getting over it 7. Hearing way, way, WAY too much about Australia 8. Wondering if Dave's ability to whistle happily in the morning is a ruse, one intended to mask a deep dark hatred of the early hours 9. Deciding it isn't (weird stuff nonetheless) 10. Being rather confounded when presented with the question from a youngster "Why doesn't Bob have a mouth?" 11. Deciding Bob has probably seen far too much, and is lucky to be left in a non-communicative position 12. AND FINALLY The one I hope everyone here can help me out with.... Asking Chris patiently, quietly, and daily, to create an icon for me (and other CP staffers) to use in the lounge. My suggestion of a straitjacket hasn't gone down too well at all. Does anybody have any ideas as to what my icon should be? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. :) Sans sig for now...... Bianca Wylie CodeProject.com

I've already slapped you about a bit over the Xbox vs XBOX thing above so I'll spare you here ;) We normally just go for all out carnage with Slayer. Any map, any time, though no weapons or settings mods. Bianca in full fury with a machine gun is a scary sight. cheers, Chris Maunder

Well, if you're going to use tactics, use a plasma weapon (probably the plasma rifle) to slow people down, and follow it up with the shotgun or a plasma grenade (because they're been slown down, and are therefore easier to hit) Chris Maunder wrote: I think I've been playing way, way too much Halo. :wtf: -- Ian Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky

Ian Darling wrote: use a plasma weapon (probably the plasma rifle) to slow people down No no no...you use something like the plasma pistol, charge it up and take out their shields, then switch to a human close range weapon (assault rifle, shotgun, pistol) and take them out the rest of the way. And the whole plasma grenade tactic is overused and can really backfire on you...especially if the person's smart enough to run at you.

Chris Maunder wrote: the shotgun is always a crowd pleaser at close range Yeah, but if you have opponents at equal skill facing each other off, the assault rifle, if handled properly, will prevail. The shotgun just fires too slow. I find it most useful for base-assault purposes, when I'm going into somebody else's base to capture the flag...at super close range, it just kicks butt, especially in the back of the head. :)
