    Anyone know when and/or how often they do 2 for 1 rune page sales? I have some RP from a gift card someone gave me but I don't need nine total rune pages so I don't feel like dropping money for more RP to buy the huge bundle.

    The Broken Empire Trilogy. Best series of all time

    I've been waiting to start this series until the final book came out and it was definitely worth the wait IMO. It's nice to have another author in the style of Cook and Abercrombie that doesn't rely on simple black or white characters and can actually write graphic violence without it feeling...

    MMA Thread

    Guys that win a belt pretty much always negotiate a new contract right away because the UFC wants them happy and doesn't want media stories about belt holders fighting for 24k/24k etc. The nice thing about Silva losing, if he is serious about being done with 185 or at least the title, is that...

    It's not hard to pick Weidman against Silva because realistically there's such a disparity that if Weidman wins you can claim to be a fight genius and when Silva does what he does to everyone else you can just act sheepish and say P4P best what can you do? I don't think the year long layoff...

    I think the problem for a lot of people is with the consolidation and new TV deals it can be easy to burn out if you are trying to watch every single event (especially if you include all the prelims). Personally I have a couple friends I trust to not spoil results for me so I can skip some of...

    Yeah that NA v EU series is totally worth watching even if you're usually not big on events, probably one of the most exciting ones I've ever watched.

    Honestly, the most interesting thing to me about the fight is that Jones said a few years ago that he was constantly working on his guard in training and I think Chael has a pretty good chance to land a takedown at some point so maybe he'll get triangled...again.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    As someone who hasn't followed Bitcoin for quite awhile I'm curious, is GPU mining still efficient enough that people are buying high end video cards to mine all day and then paying them off in a reasonable time frame? I remember reading about it when GPU mining was first starting out but it...

    Just goes to show it's not what you say but how you say it, re Mitrione. Joe Rogan has been saying essentially the same thing, albeit in a much more PC fashion, since the story came out and no one at the UFC told him to cut it out. Whole situation is ridiculous anyway since Rogan, Mitrione...

    They should have just pushed the fight back a couple weeks so his cut could fully heal. The overall card is so weak though I doubt they could just drop the main event without pissing off everyone that bought tickets.

    I wouldn't be shocked at all if he did. He's broken most of the records other then Silva's title reign, about the only thing he could do at this point to improve his legacy is winning a second belt, meaning a fight with Silva essentially, which only Couture and Penn have done in the UFC. He's...

    I hate Struve so much. Seven feet tall and STILL thinks dropping his hands, leaning his head back, and moving in a straight line backwards constitutes striking defense. Also claiming before every fight that he's actually putting on mass and getting stronger, I think for this one he even...

    I only watched this because I was over at my brothers but to me the most ridiculous part was the bread truck / zombie delivery vehicle sounding like it had a souped up big block 454 with a sweet exhaust system too.

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    I could easily be misremembering it but on the 2nd down I thought it looked like Kaepernick was making a break to the left until they whistled it dead because of the timeout; either way it was some questionable play calling at times.

    2013 NFL Playoffs

    I don't understand the mentality of not calling penalties because they could decide the outcome of a game. I think it makes a lot more sense to have it be a black and white issue where you call every legit penalty so you don't back yourself into a grey area of well we let that one go earlier so...

    I think sub 145 is only viable if they cut the cage size in half. Making guys that are 6'5" 265lb fight in the same space as 5'3" 125lb guys is just ridiculous.

    Gun control

    You start by saying you don't want to ban firearms but then lay out a plan by which you will progressively disarm the entire country and even refer to it as tightening the noose. If that isn't calling for a ban on firearms, albeit slowly over time, then I think you need to work on how you word...

    Vicodin, Cigarettes, and My Fake Tits - from the diary of the Megan Fox of Ohio

    I'm mostly just a lurker around here but I'll chip in yet another voice; you need to just cut ties and get out of that house/situation. My dad's sister suffers from some schizo mental issues, thankfully nothing violent, and her mother always protected her and refused to get her treatment so...

    Gun control

    The legitimacy of your arguments is somewhat hampered by your hyperbole and inability to cut back on the vitriol painting every gun owner with the same brush. Quite frankly you come across just like a lot of conservatives arguing abortion; I'm sure you and that jackass Alex Jones could have a...

    Gun control

    I think what scares most gun owners about the gun control debate is that it feels like reasonable concessions are only the tip of the iceberg and giving a little bit of ground on the issue is just going to turn into a slippery slope towards ever increasing restrictions. Obviously that sounds...

    Local outdoor range near where I live put in a bunch of concrete benches for long range shooting and when the cops came out to do some pistol qualification shooting one of them had a negligent discharge into a bench that hit someone.

    Dana is so full of shit. He accuses MLB and NFL of being rife with PED's but somehow MMA isn't even though it's a super injury prone sport with equally intense physical requirements. He's just trying, and apparently successfully, throwing up a smokescreen to distract from PED's by making up a...

    Going after so called assault weapons really is a red herring when it comes to avoiding mass shootings.

    Huh, took me a few days to realize what happened to the last forum. Going with my heart on Penn and Shogun sure backfired. I really hope I never have to see Penn in the cage ever again; it hardly looked like he even knew what he was doing the whole fight. Shogun, while certainly not in his...
