    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Maybe they are trying to mirror WoW Vanilla where you would kill a raid boss and get no loot!

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It really amazes me how many people don't have rewards cards. You're literally paying 2% more voluntarily. The funny thing is I have told countless friends, family members, and acquaintances to get a rewards card and 90% of them are like "Oh, I don't like credit cards!" which is even more...

    10 Day Eviction Notice

    Fuck apartments, and fuck people with large "speaks" that think it's ok to have them blaring after 9pm.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    How sad is it that WoW cost 80 million, and yet we get these $100-$300 million dollar releases that suck.

    Robin Williams found dead

    Wow, I just watched a video on Parkison's disease. His suicide makes a lot more sense now. A lively character like him who's constantly going in and out of various characters talking a million miles a minute is going to get slurred speech and have problems controlling his body movement...

    The Fishing Thread

    Pretty sure most people know the pikeminnow as squawfish. I grew up with a lot of fishermen type and have never heard of eating them.

    Hearthstone

    Oh God Athene is just miserable to watch. So many fucking misplays, and the stupid ass shit he does when he wins too. I have no fucking idea how people can stand watching him.

    Hearthstone

    I really hate when people try to take away Zoo from him. There is so fucking much that can be said about Reynad and his whining, but he 100% created Zoo. When Zoo hit the ladder the only slightly comparable thing was Murloc aggro. I remember watching multiple casts where Reynad had to defend the...

    Promotion / Relocation

    Looks like living in Tulsa is pretty cheap compared to the national average (google it). I would just make sure to negotiate a raise you're happy with. Don't let them feed you crap about anything over 20% requires to much approval or whatever. If it's important to them they will get it done...

    Transformers 4: Baylicious

    Agreed! Why the fuck do you guys bitching go into this movie expecting anything else? It's like going to McDonald's and being shocked you got a cheap hamburger....

    Home buying thread

    Hmmm, the areas you guys live in must be a lot different than mine. You can literally buy a place for $100-200 a month cheaper then renting the exact same place regardless of size/location. Seems like a no brainer to me if your stay isn't temporary.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    We're not all Noodle here. I'd go after both of them with the wife being target #1.... I've already had this talk with my wife after she told me a similar story of a guy she works with. Basically if she gets tired of me and is honest and upfront about it she gets her 50% and we share the kids...

    Seriously... If someone really wanted to totally fuck me over id spend every waking moment figuring out how to get away with their demise.

    Asking for a Raise

    Definitely seems like the right thing to me. Kind of lame, but if all else fails fall back to a 40 hour work week and just collect your paycheck while applying elsewhere.

    Car Buying Help

    I agree in principle with the above two posts yet it always seems like when a recession hits they're the same people bitching about how they got fucked. Personally I only invest what I can afford to lose in the market at this point. Maybe I'm just to cautious with my financials, but to me it's...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    While it can definitely be a pain to put your foot down you really only hurt yourself in the end. I feel like a disclaimer should be mentioned though that putting your foot down should always be done with clarity and as calmly as possible. It's hard to say how everyone here reacts, but if you...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I will definitely concede that women view work as some sort of pleasure time that apparently does not count towards your overall contribution. The first bit of my relationship I would constantly have to reiterate that work != pleasure and that my time spent at work does not count as my free time.

    This is definitely worth remembering. Outside of extremely minor complaints I have no problems in my relationship of three years.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    That article is just implying that the game is much more elaborate than Halo and has to be treated as a launch in order to test everything they want. The point was that in Halo you could have one or two maps live and still get some solid statistics for overall gameplay where as in Destiny that...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Apologies if this has been asked/posted already, but any insight into the sales numbers, or how colossal of a failure this is? I have to add that I'm very proud of myself for not giving in. Until ESO I had tried pretty much every MMO released, but apparently I've finally learned my lesson!

    Windows 8

    Meh... I have a public lab with Vmware View using 16 HP T5745 thin clients that performs decently. They are set to auto refresh after log off to prevent any personal info from getting seen by another user. I also have around 35 thin clients at my central site connecting to a terminal server. I...

    So in PVP are stats normalized? It seems like they are which is great, but then I see PVP armor and it makes me wonder.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I must've complained about not having a keyboard/mouse hundreds of times when I first made the switch, but now either platform is acceptable to me. You guys are just limiting yourself for no reason. Once you get proficient at the controller you'll wonder why you ever complained about it.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    While I'm loving the game I'm not sure I agree with that. The game is a lot different than WoW (obviously), and thus caters to a different crowd. I do wonder if Destiny had something to do with the push back of Titan though. Anyways game is great. I really appreciate the lack of tutorials...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Yeah I was really surprised. I literally came in after a few hours of yard work, saw the code, hustled over to my PS4 and entered it all while asking myself why even try and then the download screen popped up. Looks like the rest of my night is taken up lol.

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    You're missing the point. I'm not even sure why I bother given it's fairly obvious you have no desire to look at the entire picture. The point about hope is that as I said in my previous post these people still have it despite no serious prospects in life. Think of all the other people out there...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    Uh huh. That's a real nice list. Did you try *gasp* actually reading the comments of all the people visiting the site. Here's a few gems for you from the first two pages. These are far from cherry picked if you read through the majority of comments. Keep in mind that these are people who still...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    You really are naive. The lack of job prospects for convicts has nothing to do with their skill set. It's all about their record. I'm not going to write my entire view on the subject, but the basic premise is that jails primary function should be to confine dangerous people, and act as a...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    Yeah I don't think the majority of society really understands how hard it is to recover. There are a literal fuck ton of people out there with criminal records who can't get a job, apartment, friends, and more. Jail is the very least of most offenders worries because the life you get after you...

    Gun control

    I've had my concealed carry for a while now. I'm not even sure why I got it considering 90% of my time is spent at work where no guns are allowed. The rest of the time I'm either just doing yard work at home, or something where it's not practical at all to carry. Basically what I'm saying is you...

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    Twenty years sounds good to me man, although your math is majorly off (20 x 30 million doesn't = 2 billion). Think of all the plebs out there with 15-30 year mortgages on a second house with the intent of renting it out for generations to come? The projection of 20 years is assuming all else...

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    Wow checkthisout. Forbes puts the team value at 575 million in January of this year. Even more insane is that Sterling bought the clippers in 1981 for 12 million! That's a great deal for the Sterling family, but at the same time I don't fault Ballmer. America's obsession with sports the...

    Asking for a Raise

    It's not about what you are... It's what you're doing. You're telling yourself things like "I don't want to pressure them with an or else", and "I don't want to leave because my work is flexible and and I don't have to work a lot.". My personal anecdotal experience speaks otherwise, and unless...

    Asking for a Raise

    Dude, you're already doing it wrong. You're making excuses, and you're concerned about their feelings with the "or else" comment. Or else is a very real reality assuming you actually have value. Fuck all these companies that praise people who work 50-60 hours a week, and pile on the...

    Target giving shitloads of money for used games 5/18/14 - 5/24/14

    I think people forget about the fact that Ebay and Paypal are going to set you back about 10% and then there's shipping costs as well since most people expect free shipping. The target deal is just convenient, sure in some examples like Baldurs Gate 2 Ebay is superior and you'd be dumb not to...

    Target giving shitloads of money for used games 5/18/14 - 5/24/14

    Yeah it looked pretty shitty. Maybe i'll try again tomorrow. I had the girl scan the UPC codes because she was keying shit in super slow, but it didn't show up. I wonder if there is any sort of local database tie in which would explain the fluctuations in game prices? Seems unlikely to me, but...

    Target giving shitloads of money for used games 5/18/14 - 5/24/14

    I'm slightly confused. I traded in PS4 games so it was no big deal, but I had my GF attempt to trade in some gamecube games, and even though shit like Eternal Darkness shows 6.79 on their website it didn't show up at all in the in-store system. It would've been nice to get $20.00 for that...

    Target giving shitloads of money for used games 5/18/14 - 5/24/14

    Thanks for posting this. Will definitely be taking in some of the lackluster PS4 games I bought on release like Knack and NFSR. Wish I could just take in my massive box of PS2 and Gamecube games as well, but I suspect most employees would just give me the three games rule instead of being...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The point was that if people can't finish a brief tutorial no matter how boring then they sure as fuck aren't going to endure a lot of the shit that made EQ, EQ! It sounds great on paper, and we can all go back and play emulators/progression servers because we know the end result, but if you...
