View Full Version : Are messenger bags gay?
Tiggles
08-27-2011, 01:16 AM
I need something to carry my shit around when I'm working.
A briefcase looks so fucking dated and I am looking for something softer as well.
I need something to hold my Ipad as well as various work related paperwork.
I need to travel often for my job and I'm always in a suit. I don't want to wear a bag that makes me look like a fruit.
Are they effeminate or am I being self conscious?
enclosed is the bag I want to buy.

Briefcase still looks pretty gay when you open it up and all your anti-retrovirals fall out, Tigs. If you're concerned about keeping up appearances, though, you probably need a change of employment. May I suggest: firefighter, cop, construction worker, Native American fellow or biker daddy. All respectable and manly.

It's hard to say currently how SWTOR will run at release.
As of right now, it's running nearly identical on max settings and min GFX settings. Antialiasing is currently disabled and not even turning it on at hardware level will render it in game -- it'll just slow you down a **LOT**
It currently uses dual GFX setups with about 0% efficiency. It barely runs better on my new pc with dual 560s than it does on my 4 year old HP junker with a $100 ati 4650 I bought about a 2 years ago. Yet this PC can run Crysis 2 @ 1920x1080 on ultra (25-50FPS) with just **ONE** 560 let alone both.
The game looks **TERRIBLE** at low settings. Really not even worth playing. On high/max settings though it's a good looking game. The combat works really well for an MMO. The ranged shooting mechanics are more flehsed out than alot of the melee (saber fighting) mechanics atm. The cover system used by the merc/assassin classes works very well -- better and more fluid than even ME2s cover system.
But I've already said too much.....let me digress.

No. It's not BAD it just needs work.
And they're working on it. Like you said it's a problem of satisfaction for several of the classes, while you can instantly tell the the bounty hunter class is really, really satisfying. Surprisingly the same is true of the imperial agent.
This has to do with quests as well though. Some of the low level jedi questlines are just plain boring. Even once you have your prized lightsaber, you may still be battling mostly creatures -- while the sith jedis are taking on jedi masters by level 20.
I have a Manhattan Portage messenger bag that I use for school / biking and fucking love it. It isn't all fancy like the leather ones you posted, but also not all "I'm bike messenger chic" like all the chrome bags you see douches wearing these days.
Feachie
08-31-2011, 04:58 AM
forget being bike messenger chic, chrome's smallest bag has a nice padded strap and fits a 12 pack and a pair of shoes. tell me after 30 miles a padded strap doesn't sound nice, i dare you, because before we get all the way home my strap kills me.
i'm "investing" in one asap
idk, my manhattan portage bag is super comfortable... I ride my bike everywhere and have never had a problem with the strap being uncomfortable. I do like how most chrome bags are lined with like rubber or whatever on the inside though - we've definitely filled my friends with ice and beer on more than a few occasions.

Or you guys could just go with 2 dollar 24 ounces of budweiser, its a bearable taste and still affordable. 7/11 in New york has 3 packs of 24 ounces for $5.24, thats 6 beers incase you're retarded.
