Useless school subjects.

Re: Useless school subjects.

As far as pointless classes go, any level of mathematics higher than simple/applied math is pointless unless you plan on working in a field that requires you to solve algebraic equations.  I havent had to use anything higher than simple math once in my life since I graduated high school 6 years ago.

Re: Useless school subjects.

Religion also serves as a microscope into the past and as a guide to history. Its shows the moral and social values upheld at that time and will always unlock secrets to the past. Were those values always good? No. Was that history always positive? No. But at least we can learn more  :P

Re: Useless school subjects.

Honestly, my least favourite subject was ICT. It was basically five years spent learning how to save a Microsoft Word document. I'm glad that they are moving towards computer science instead. Damn I was born to late.

In Indonesia the games are: Point Blank, Winning Eleven, and HoN...
You can't get near any Game Center and Game Shop without see those...
Only three people in my community that play RTS and none play CoH because you can't spam-rush-win ala CnC and you can't build farm...
Freaking farm... >:(

Age of Empire 2 and any other civ series...
I don't say they are bad but doesn't play other RTS because you can't build farm like AoE is very very stupid  >:(

Yes, Generals is fun and one of my favorite RTS, but here people don't play other RTS because you can't spam like Generals, which is also stupid though yes spamming can be fun when you are done with study or work...

Re: Useless school subjects.

Lulz not playing other RTS because you can't really build up your economy is ridiculous.

I still play Age of Empires 2, I even play Age of Chivalry: Hegemony (super mod of AoEII for those of you who don't know), but not playing other RTS' for that reason only is just plain dumb.

Re: Useless school subjects.

I have just realized that Environmental classes are a bit tedious. My exam is tomorrow, there is no clear cut lesson plan, and my teacher emailed me a potential 175 topics the test could have. -_-

Everyone always seems to find a lack of importance in enviromental studies. My friend is enironmental science and finds no point to it and it's the worst class on his schedual for now(next to trigonometry). But all thee other classes are full so he's stuck. I blame the teachers for not making it fun :P

Re: Useless school subjects.

I like RTS that offer a challenge, but not too hard. I also like it when the AI isn't a flaming retard ::)(spamming units that will de, sending them to srandom places).

I also dont like when the AI has like 90% accuracy in FPS games. iTs just so ridiculous. I remember in Medal of Honor Allied Assault where on normal difficuly the Axis snipers have 100% accuracy and ALWAYS know where you are. You cant hide in, say a bush or behind a tree. The second you step out of cover BAM! You lose 1/6 of your health. And guess what? One map has like 10-15 snipers!. I rage quit near the end >:( :'(.

Re: Useless school subjects.

I thought AA was a good game too, especially for its time (2005 IIRC?). But those DAMN SNIPERS! One part of the mission an allied soldier was wounded so he yelled out for help (something stupid like that). So I thought "Oh I should walk over to him and help". Second I step out; Boom! Sniper Hit! >:(

Re: Useless school subjects.

No no, that would be positive! I was hoping you would ask actually! XD

Well, Airborne is unique in that way that you jump with a parachute into the map and start fighting. This is awesome but in normal gameplay sense the map can´t be be to big. This means that you jump DIRECTLY down on the enemys fortifactions. IRL= Suicide. Well well, its a game. As I wrote this aint something they could do something about. They have to think about the game! And yeah, its okay actually :D You land on rooftops and in bombed farms etc other cool obstacles and directly runs into action. So that point is actually okey except the last level. 

SPOILER ALERT!<3

In this level that is taking place late in the war you are to take out one of the famous flaktowers. Well, okey I guess? It will be like storming a fortress? Land outside and clear that batcave full of fanatic nazis out!...

N0.

You parachute directly down on the top of the flaktower. Basically you throw yourself in a wave of concentrated AA fire. And here its like, it could have been okey if I could land outside in the nearby town or on the outskirts of the map like on the other maps. But somewhere EA took and total overdose of patriotism and scripted the poor player down in the blob. Not only that, Here you meet ALL kind of troops.

We got.

A shit load of guys with panzerschrecks with endless of rockets that they use to shoot at you like it was a smallarm.

Guys with the famous black SS uniforms armed with stg44 straight from a wolfenstein game hunting you down.
( I know we all love that uniform but sad but true to citate Metallica, that uniform was taking out of duty in 1939.)

And my favorite.

Guys with gasmask with red eyes. Helmets, the black SS uniform and mg42 that they use Rambo style. Not only that, these guys have HP like an smaller tank ( take like 2 rockets to take them down?)
so you get the wolfenstein feeling that ¨ the only thing missing is somekind of power armour?¨.

Dont get me wrong dear comrade. Like I said, its a descent game. Its just that the last level its like.. Yeah, MOH left and some scifi thingy took over XD
I am actually one of those guys who like WW2 scifi themes and have no problem at all with it. But in Airborne they had this Medal of honour realism all the way  until the grand finale were they destroyed it all XD

Edit: You cant pick up theirs mg42 either ;C

And owh YES!. I dont know about you guys. But I had to learn dancing in my school. Kind of useless! :p
