Probably because he personally didn't write it. That son of a bitch is an arrogant cocklord.

I agree wholeheartedly here. The Zahn trilogy with Thrawn is perfect Star Wars action; it is fucking assinine that was not made into a movie and that it is not being made now. It actually sends me into dizzying nerd rage if I focus on it for too long so I try not to think about it.

That's the thing, I am tied to an area that has a decided shortage of federal jobs for a few years, so I am kind of stuck unless someone gets off their ass and rates my current position appropriately, which isn't likely because that would mean other people would lose THEIR jobs. And they do all...

I would contend that military officer pay for someone with no experience and a bachelor's degree that isn't engineering or computer programming is close to the best there is, up until the 10 year mark or so. The rest of what you said about it, though, probably outweighs that and I understand...

Hmm, US military perhaps? With a degree, you could get a commission - a new 2nd LT makes around 36k in salary per year, plus a shitload in basic allowance for housing and other perks. That ratchets up quickly too over your first 4 years or so. With that fluent mandarin, pass the Defense...

Very true. Tort reform is something that politicians won't touch but would be huge in keeping American health care costs down. Fucking doctors will test you for EVERYTHING here, racking up bills and driving up prices, because if you are that one in a million guy with something like Furor...

Where do you work? Federal Gov't / Department of the Army / GS-9 What do you do? (Title/keywords) Information Tech Specialist (Customer Support/System Administration) What field/industry? I work for the US Military Entrance Processing Command. Wages? a little over 60k/yr...

I'm trying to figure out the use of 'Elder Game' to describe endgame content. Elder Game?? Its like 'streets ahead' or something, that shit is just weird. And yeah, they got bigger fish to fry than same sex romance. I patched and logged in a month ago or so and they were down to like 5...

New 80 zone is not ugly, but it ain't great either, tropical island with giant crab things and not much else that was added as part of a big event last month. Fractals are the 'endless' dungeon, essentially like 9 mini-dungeons that you run 3 random ones at a time for a reward. Only place to...

Yeah, that seems like something fishy there. I just logged in after a year and a half or so and all of my unlocks were all still there. I also discovered that I had enough Turbine points lying around to get the Isengard expansion...tempted to resubscribe a month or two and play through it, see...

It needs to come out of the gate with WotLK levels of polish or it is going to sputter down to almost nothing after 3 months like almost everything else that has come out recently has. You'll have your huge initial hype, a million box sales, 15 days of queues, 30 days until people are...

IF they are bringing back old MMOs, someone needs to resurrect Earth and Beyond. That was the shit.

I wonder if this game will see a resurgence with the Hobbit releasing tomorrow. I hope it does, it deserves it, in my opinion. Great game, as true as you can reasonably expect to the source material (well, 'filling in the blanks', so to speak), and just fun to muck around in if you are a LOTR...

I really enjoyed the shit out of this as an Engineer, and still would be if I wouldn't have gotten sucked back into Star Trek Online, of all things. Definitely got my money's worth and more out of it. I mean, I know all about gw2lfg.com and all that, but what this game really needs is a...
