<p>hey ppl… what life here… well i think i am a little late to post this but still… yes i am a mild game freak too…</p>

<p>I was a CS addict for longgggg but then i had to let it off me, Pop is an awesome game but once u finish it , the excitement is all lost…</p>

<p>Halflife2 … one of my first few games last yr. … it was cool… but i think its very easy … once you start with other first person shooters…</p>

<p>I somehow dont like any of the NFS games, though i find their graphics and video quality really good…</p>

<p>Vamipro >. could you elucidate on that letter to your school thingy you said … man thats scary… </p>

<p>SM</p>

6702

<p>Not really scary…it was standard letter…just stating the number of applicants and their results…and then things like…our procedures and all…and how many applicants apply and all that crap…
and the one from cornell though asked the school to send the final transcript (to verify marks and all)…so i am guessing its just a standard rule which these 2 schools Penn and Cornell follow…coz they are the only ones who are so interested in India…rest dont care that much abt the educational system here…</p>

6703

<p>my college got that letter too</p>

6704

<p>man so why are they sending it …
Coz i think after rejecting an applicant they hold no further rights to verify any marks whatsoever…</p>

<p>SM</p>

6705

<p>SM - It depends on which mode u play the game in. I tried it in normal twice and hard once. I found it just as challenging as any other FPS. Guess I’ll just buy FEAR after my exams…</p>

<p>check this laptop out: [~link~](<a href=“http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/product_detail.do?product_code=ET833UA%23ABA&tab=detailed_specs&storeName=computer_store&landing=computers&category=notebooks/hp_pavilion/ready_to_ship&subcat1=rts&catLevel=4#defaultAnchor]~link~[/url]...i”>http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/product_detail.do?product_code=ET833UA%23ABA&tab=detailed_specs&storeName=computer_store&landing=computers&category=notebooks/hp_pavilion/ready_to_ship&subcat1=rts&catLevel=4#defaultAnchor)…i</a> am kinda confused gain!! :rolleyes:</p>

6707

<p>That’s cool. But Macbook Pro’s better.</p>

6708

<p>true biaxident but yet still i didnt like halflife that much … CS and Unreal are much much better …</p>

<p>SM</p>

6709

<p>well Half life gets five stars for game play…awesome game mechanics…and i dont think it led the original game down…which i think was simply awesome…</p>

6710

<p>hmm… maybe then i have a slightly weirder taste of mind… but well diferent people like different things differently…</p>

<p>SM</p>

6711

<p>yep…true.</p>

<p>Hey MM i checked out Macbook pro…but dude whats so special in that…or maybe i saw a wrong one…can you give me a link to the one which u were considering…</p>

6712

<p>well minus the looks factor, the HP laptop is certainly giving more at the same price of non-upgraded mac book pro…but i dunno i still wanna try mac!!</p>

6713

<p>maybe that has something to do with the urge to go off the traditional stuff we do all time and enter the mac new world…</p>

<p>SM</p>

6714

<p>maybe…i am just totally bored with windows and hp…rite now playin FEAR n its fu*king scary!!</p>

6715

<p>well…people i got my IUb decision now… Accepted … well best part that i submitted the apps on april 1 after US decisions yet was into round 3 whose deadline was 15 march</p>

<p>… well to top it all … i got a Euro 8500 scholarship per yr which is merit based…</p>

<p>now waiting for the financial aid package to be recieved in a few days… man the scholarship ensures that the loan component in the upcoming aid package be reduced to zero… :):):)</p>
