    Horrible horrible pain.

    Still here... Think they have taken at least half my blood. Pneumonia In left lung. No CT scan, just chest x-ray. Waiting on a ton of blood work and cultures. Dilaudid via IV every few hours. That stuff works!

    Horrible horrible pain.

    Read my post, I can pay the bills. I'm self employed, and healthy. (was) Made more sense to self insure. Still here, more tests. Place got super busy

    Horrible horrible pain.

    Yeah EKG was before I even got to the room. I guess chest pain = immediate EKG

    That's what keep reading. But this pain is like nothing I've ever felt.

    I don't remember it being this bad. I'm sure console wars have something to do with it. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

    Horrible horrible pain.

    Dr is not hot either. She says she hopes I have costrochondritis, which is not serious other than extreme pain. It can also last a few days/months/years... Blood work/ultrasound/chest X-Ray have been ordered to rule anything else out. Everything they gave me kicked in and I'm high as fuck...

    Horrible horrible pain.

    In a triage room now, or whatever you call it. A PA and a few nurses have been by, doc will be shortly. All uggos so far. Just got an IV painkiller and I think Valium. Still much pain but I don't care as much now. Lol

    Horrible horrible pain.

    Just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. I'm going to the ER, and can afford it just wanted opinions. I've heard anything from gas bubble to lung cancer. The in laws are on their way now, I don't want to risk driving

    Horrible horrible pain.

    Not looking for a diagnosis, I will be going to the ER in a few hours if it doesn't get better. Edit: it's the left side, not the right. Only major organ I saw on the left was the spleen I am having the absolute worst pain I have ever felt in my life. It basically feels like my...

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

    Pushing small group content just to see what we could pull off was one thing that made EQ so great for me. I played an SK and ran with a Shaman and Warrior friend a lot. We would spend days doing out of the way spots just for the hell of it. I think we spent nearly a month just doing City of...

    SteamOS

    Gaf (in general) has absolutely no clue how companies make money or even how basic business models work. I also think some people expected or wanted valve to compete directly against the console market. The hardware market is a loosing proposition. There is no money in it anymore, tech is too...

    Need a game to play with my kid.

    My 9 year old and I have a ton of fun playing Halo campaigns, but that won't work for you... What about some racing games? I don't remember what has good local coop on the ps3 though

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Samsclub website has PS4 preorders available if anyone is still looking. I liked that interview with Andrew House. Sony really seems to be nailing everything with the PS4.

    SWTOR

    I played for about 3 months after launch and had a fantastic time. Quit after i maxed out 2 chars and did lots of HUTTBALL!! No regrets, worth the box price and sub for a few months. What is it like now? Worth playing for a few months? I have that mmo itch but FFXIV doesnt appeal to me.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Well, it seems like a money grab because that's all it really is. But plenty of people are willing to pay for it, so why the hell not i guess. As long as they provide the product that is being paid for i don't have a problem with it. I may think it is an absolute waste of money, but enough...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well, we agree on the Gran Turismo's, /yuck. I like the angular look Cadillac is doing. Kinda reminds me of a Cylon or something.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I would pick an RS4/6 Avant over almost anything on the market right now. Performance wagons are so fucking awesome. But like you said, no one in NA buys them. You dont like the looks of the CTS wagon? I think the CTS-V wagon is a sexy beast.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That's what is so frustrating. They had a second chance, which is unheard of in this industry. And still managed to miss so many things. FFXI was one of my favorite MMO's... I was really pumped to play the original beta of FFXIV. 6 hours later i was just baffled at what they had created (or not...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    CLA AMG looks to be a really fun car and a pretty decent value for that sort of thing. Sucks my financial situation changed so drastically the past few years, so many great performance cars available for damn decent prices. Im driving a 91 Jeep Wrangler these days, at least jeeps are still cool...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Because people expect content at all levels? Doesnt matter if they rebuilt the game from the ground up, they decided to release it with a lack of content. That is on them. How many MMO's since WOW have had this problem? Most/all of them? It is not a valid excuse. Release the damn game when its...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Doesnt bother me, as long as its clearly stated you are paying for "beta" and they arent trying to pawn off an unfinished product. Options are good, if someones likes something enough to drop money for getting to play it a bit early who am i to judge?

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Those are really great articles. Ive never been a massive Sony fan by any means, their products just weren't competitive at the price point. But i really like Yoshida, and Kaz seems like he is doing everything right to turn around the company. Good for them.

    Wii U

    Seems to me that the modern video games industry is decidedly western focused. It almost seems like Nintendo doesn't have communications channels with western devs or just doesn't care. With the Japanese market going all in on handheld/mobile they really need to pull a Sony and get a western...

    Yeah its available now. At a price. The monitor alone will run you about 3500 bucks. Amazon.com: ASUS PQ321Q 31.5-Inch 4K Monitor: Computers Accessories

    Wii U

    I tried to get one for my 9 year old (so i could check it out!), but he wanted more Minecraft, COD and iTunes cash... Anecdotal evidence aside, i think Nintendo is in trouble of losing the young crowd this generation.

    Health Care Thread

    I did health care and benefits administration for the Federal Reserve for 10 years. Not a fan of the ACA. But I think it's the right step because imo it will break more than it fixes then we can get some health care reform from the ground up.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Im sure they will never release budget figures for this game but it has to be staggering. Unless they had 10 ppl working on the game, payroll alone after all the time spent has to be insane.

    Coffee on my monitor now... lol. I don't have a problem with trannies, but am i the only one who thinks that if you look like a dude in a wig maybe you should try harder or not get offended when someone stumbles on your gender during introductions? I know issues like this are super sensitive...

    I didn't know the 120hz IPS panels were out. Who makes a monitor with them? I still prefer a 60hz IPS panel the 120hz TN's.

    How many sneakers you got?

    Much like Kreugan. 2... The old ass pair, and the newer pair. I don't wear tennis shoes often. Although I have 4 pairs of dress shoes (2 styles, black and brown of each) and 10ish pairs of flip flops. Mostly Reef. I live on the lake and love me some flip flops!

    I haven't had the chance to mess with a haptic touchscreen. I am guessing it is the key to this whole thing. I've heard its great and really works. Anyone have any experience with haptic devices.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My first marriage... I honestly should have called it off but didn't because i had so much time and money invested in the whole thing, it was a destination wedding with a bunch of good friends etc etc. It ended less than a year later and ended up costing me about the same as the wedding and all...
