Let me start by saying I don't like fifa games. Pes 2013 is still the best soccer game ever, it had everything anyone would ask for in a soccer game. When I played 2014 to be honest I was and still am disappointed, Konami was just a whisker away from producing the best soccer game ever.
The game lag is the one and I think the biggest culprit the game suffers from, after trying hard to love it I gave up and went back to Pes 13.
Recently however I have come back to it changed the screen resolution thing to 720 and the Lags seriously reduced. Some things I noticed and would love to analyse however with real game called critics are as follows
Training mode. - the game seems to burst into life in training mode, there are no silly Lags and shots are spot on, my thoughts are the absence of commentary the fans and all those things that bug the game engine makes the game process faster?
Game physics - I studied this crucial aspect of the game with the midfield where the game at Least runs on normal speed and while I find the physics of trapping and turning spot on, one big issue is that players clash and collide with each other too often, anyone else notice this.


In all I am kinda disappointed with I hope the patch fixes things.

Makes no sense at all

Dear igbowifeusa,
First off wake up. Wash your face and look at reality, men would stare it's just natural. I dunno how old you are or how much you have been into the business of understanding men but men and women are fundamentally different in the way we function. To say he should not look would be akin to him letting hell loose because you have your monthly pms. While some women handle it better than other all women have the same issues and it's not their fault we know it's the hormones, men stare it's a fact you have to live with and it has no bearing on if he is cheating on you or not.

I don't also think he started now and perhaps after the birth of a second child you are worried about how you look physically and as such have become more conscious of the things he does that makes it look like he does not worship your body anymore. My advice is make it not look like an issue, joke about it prod and probe and tease him each time he looks, ask him in a joking way to tell you what is fascinating him.

Finally, wake up, wash your face and look at reality, you are his wife, the mother of his kids, unless you got married to a complete 'werey' man worry not he knows that ass and boobs abound in the world he might look but in the end he knows why he put a ring on your finger, let him know you trust that he chose you.

Maybe I should ask starter in what? I know they employ loads of hnd holders though.

Where is my bottle of oloye now

Nna eh so many weird dreams last night, #inceptiontinss
If I was a member of mfm , firefighters for don risks my door.

Barman one bottle of oloye Abeg.

Second time I would be changing jobs in two years, the first was a no brainer cos I changed to practice what I went to school for. Fell in love with what I do now and I work with the most amazing people.
This next move I know is very important for my career my life and most importantly my bank account. Been counting down the days, I would miss the organization, the strong IT support, the huge cultural diversity, very minimal office politics, chai the ephyzy!

I have to step up and play on the big stage now, still going through the motions.

Guitar hero 5 thanks

[quote author=Okija_juju]My darling.. The point is that there is no ideal anything/anywhere..


No couple can honestly come out and say they didnt compromise on one thing or the other in their considerations before marrying their partners. NONE!! Comma must dey.. If you have a 100% partner, then I dont see what the fvck you are doing online.. You should be with that person 24/7 protecting them from people like this OP who are out there hunting for 100% perfect partnners to snatch or marry..


[b]_{If my sister brings home a partner (that I dont like), heres gonna be my advice to her; My darling sister.. You know I love you and would always look out for your interest. This I promise you will not change. Like Daddy use to say, Marriage is between 2 people. There is no perfect man or woman on earth. Thats why I told mum that I could never be married to her, because I would kill her.. lol. But look at how peaceful and happy a relationship herself and daddy have. Thats why I would advice you to go remove the love from your eyes and the butterfliles from your tummy and keep in one corner and properly assess, inspect, examine, analyse, research, inquire, probe, scrutinize and evaluate this man you want to marry.. Like I told mum, so will I tell you.. I can never marry your husband if I were a Woman because of XYZ reasons.. However, thats just me and I cant hold you to my standard. If you can go and do this honestly and truthfully and still come back to tell me that this is what you want to do, then I will give you my unreserved blessing with a clause that says: Should later down the line you feel like you have made a mistake, then please feel free to use the DIVORCE option after another careful examination of your situation and the implications of your decision.. I will also be here to accept you with open arms, because that what Family are there for.. [/b]}

StarBoard: Not true.
I live on Odili Road, and even now the power situation has worsened, compared to a year ago.
Those who know PH will tell you that in terms of reliability, Odili road used to be where to find good power.
But this past weekend ,they kept taking and bringing it back.
Where is the said 24/7 supply when for most of yesterday (Sunday), I was on generator?

Bros you sure so? Cos there was no light when it rained yesterday morning but it came back by 10 and was there throughout the day......

There was a time when it was bad after the initial boom, I barely use my gen these days though - 3k petrol for a month. One thing I have noticed though is that the light is not as constant during the day. But whenever I am back from work till morning the following day theres always light.

This SNC is dead on Arrival!

Hey guys can anyone point me where I can get a good PS1 emulator?

Dear Seun,
This is what this particular section needs, a super mod who would be invisible. The benefits would be immense

1. The Stig has no tribe.
2. Like James bond whenever anyones Tenure as the Stig expires someone else takes over.
3. The Mod can still be a free Nairaland member and air his/her views without the e warriors being on his case.


Vote the STIG today.

validplanet: it really makes no sense to go to the university considering the fact that those that didnt go to university get more job opportunities than the graduates. there is virtually no work in the society today that cant be done by illiterates who just acquired their skills outside the 4 walls of the university, so whats the point?

take for instance, opposite my house here, some1 just completed a 2 storey building. and i didnt find any single graduate among the workers. the guy just went to lagos and brought some builders who came and built his house from foundation to roofing. all were illiterates who learnt how to build houses outside d university. d question is; why should some1 spend 5 yrs studying civil engineering in nigeria?

go to the mechanic village; all the auto mechanics there are illiterates. and some1 will spend more than =N=500,000. studying mechanical engineering for 5 yrs.

d music industry? i dont know their profiles but i can bet they didnt study music in the university.

fashion design? all illiterates.

i can go on and on.

i pity our unemployed graduates who spent their fortune and time acquiring university education only to come out to find there are no jobs for them.

Mechanical Engineering is not about fixing cars dumba$$

..............when you get that break you need to seize the opportunity as well as you can, you need to look to make an impression, not really by forcing it but staying true to who you are and showing what you can bring to the team. Interviews are very important, you "fight" against so many things from personal interest (yes personal interest), to other candidates and it is of utmost importance to be you most confident self.....easier said but I am sure there are better interview tips out there. After this then it is no longer in your hands, you need to sit and allow fate take its course.


Remedial Run -

What I have said many of you already probably know, you also already know that only a very small percentage of people make it. For those that have just graduated, you have 3-4 years max to do re runs of the whole process. You should know the simple tips such as change your email address every time you want to repeat an application process, but still there still only a few people that can be taken. The oil and gas industry is relatively big, and there is more than one way to get into it, if you fail at getting in through the entry level you can take a detour and get some experience from the smaller oil servicing coy (international and indigenous alike) get 3-5 years under your belt and go for the more experienced roles at which point even a 2:2 would suffice. The O&G industry is big and like some people have pointed out theres many things aside from drilling that can get you into it, theres well completions, theres fishing, a lot of simple stuff that indigenous companies are into. I know of a new company Welltec or so which services such as downhole tractor systems, I know a friend who went gate crashed the exam which got marked immediately and he was called for an interview there and then......
the point is you have to put on your shoes and do some ground work as well, the indigenous companies do not have as much inhibition as the IOC's or international servicing companies have when it comes to hiring. If spots are open, gate crashing is allowed. I am not a fan of going for certifications, I think they are a scam and this is just my personal opinion because certification without experience is of no use to any serious person.


I would have expounded more if I had the time but I am sure you catch the drift of what I am saying, I cannot help but finish off with one aspect that is important. Money is good, infact money is very very good but yes money is not everything. There are people making a lot of money outside the O&G sector, theres also people within the O&G sector that do not make as much money. I remember a friend told me he went to write an exam for the roustabout position on the rig and he saw a skinny looking girl writing as well, she wanted to work "offshore" smh...... the funny thing is there is not as much money in that as say working somewhere else and even if there is, the associated dangers and risks involved would not make it worthwhile. I have seen people break their leg in three places, I have seen crushed fingers and I have been lucky so far not to be on a rig that got burnt down ( google KS endeavor). There is a popular saying, "the closer you are to the well head, the poorer you become".


If anyone has specific questions that fall within the purview of what I know I would answer.

Cheers.

No amaechi question?

obadiah777: not really. the secret to unraveling the allegories ? is all in the bible. >>>>

isaiah 28 vs 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: <<< what does that tell you ? only those who study the whole bible to show themselves approved will unravel the mysteries. seems like a philosophical approach to you but thats because you dont know about that precept upon precept.

a little example for you. there is a thread that says. what is the tree of life. to know what is the tree of life you have to first know what is a tree, right ? so what is a tree ? >>> mark 8 vs 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking <<< trees are men

and this is how you unravel the allegories and symbolism. all the answers are all over the bible. so you cant be a new testament reader or an old testament reader. you have to read both testaments. scripture says I COME IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK. so its not philosophical at all

How the hell do you live with yourself?

Exactly how is a market woman who cannot read or write supposed to understand this?

This is why I am always baffled by those that can make sense of these things.
Why not have the cherubim and the flaming sword there in the first place?
What did they mean by tree of life or tree of knowledge?

[quote author=I_am_strata]y now? I was enjoying it, i'm waiting.........[/quote]Typing on my tab is not as fun when I get the chance I would continue.

Three pages gone, so I guess I should type here instead of the initial post I wanted to edit.
Let me start by dispelling some myths, there would be need for energy for many years to come in fact as world population increases the need for energy increases as well. There are however many forms of energy out there and so far the only one that has shown promise in terms of being abundant enough and also cheap to produce to take care of our energy needs has been oil and gas. This is the main reason why the sector is probably the highest paid engineering sector in most countries even with diversified economies at least it is in Nigeria. It's not a crime to want to be in the oil and gas sector but it is also challenging as well, few spaces many people available to fill them most especially at the entry level stage. I will be strictly speaking of engineering roles, this what I know about........

Stage 1-
What's needed? Have the minimum qualifications, it is true that there are people who studied plant science and jumpology working in the industry but if you are aiming for that professional role that would give you not just a good pay but a good career as well then you need the minimum qualifications of a 2:1 in any of mechanical, chemical, petroleum. Electrical. I have listed it that way because there really more mechanical engineering professionals in the industry in my opinion, it's a tussle between the chemical and petroleum while electrical comes last. I am speaking in terms of numbers here, I am saying if you were to break into the industry the odds are better if you studied these courses as a first degree. I know some people also say 2:2 as well but the honest truth is that it is difficult, maybe times have changed though and one thing I must stress is when an employer gives the minimum criteria of a 2:1 or 2:2 that's it everyone who gets past that stage is eligible for the job I would delve more into that later.


Stage 2
Understand the application seasons and start as early as 6 months into your youth service, most application processes take a long time so it's your duty to start on time and not wait until you finish your youth service. For instance amongst the ioc some have a yearly application process others are not as precise but come up as well during the course of the year. Apply for as many as you qualify for, in most entry level jobs experience is not much of a big deal the employers know this when they asked for fresh graduates. However start learning how to do a good cv, also start your preparation early in terms of how to pass aptitude tests. During my time I was planning to do my matters in the US so I had to prep for the gre which helped a lot as gmaths became a piece of cake.
I must stress that these tests vary from employer to employer, so you must learn the subtle differences like dragnet for instance. I should add that naija being the unique country that it is you have to shine your eye for 'past questions' I hear stories of questions that leaked I never saw any but that's something that's out there. It's difficult to compete with someone who solved the questions yesterday so I would say make sure at least you get a feel for the nature of questions that would be coming your way. Apply sit wait to be called for the tests where you would see people who graduated four years before you coming to write for entry level positions.


Stage 3 - The lucky break
Somehow most people I know in the industry who got into it by their own sweat had that lucky break, I did myself in fact I did not reply the interview email on time cos I felt yahoo boys were at it again, it came more than 6months after I had written the initial exam. I had to chin up after nysc went into balogun market arranged two aba suits for work in a bank, all the tests I had written had fallen through or I got zero response.
