    I was pretty sad that this post got no responses back when I originally posted it, I thought a few bros here would be into it. Glad to see someone else is into it now. I see you're in the U.K. Chris, I live in Europe too so maybe our availability will match up and we can pew pew together. PM me...

    What do you do?

    The system here in Switzerland is pretty cool in regards to the trades. Everyone goes to school for 9 years, and then, based upon grades and desire, they either continue on to high school or they stop going to school and start apprenticing a trade. Going into the trades isn't looked down upon...

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    Lahm, Klose, and Mertesacker all retired after the World Cup. Not saying the Germans still don't have an extremely strong team, but I guess they need a few games to adjust to life without those guys.

    Moving to a different country.

    Yeah and every Canadian child takes french classes for the first nine years of school at a minimum, doesn't mean anyone can speak three words of french 5 years after high school. Edit: Additionally, almost everyone here speaks english, which is not one of the four official languages of the...

    Going to Movies Solo

    Granted, going to a movie with someone you like and being able to discuss it with that person afterwards is preferable, but I also enjoy going to the theaters alone.

    Going to Movies Solo

    Maybe this is just me but what's the big deal if you go to a movie alone? Are you worried that people will see you're alone and think you're a loser or something? If so, who gives a shit what those people think, I bet you're happier alone than 50% of the 'happy' couples you see while you're at...

    Moving to a different country.

    One thing that really impressed me since moving to Switzerland is the number of multilingual people here. It seems like almost everyone speaks at least two languages over here, while back in Calgary where I grew up, I was the only one out of my friends who could speak a second language. Now I...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    Being a part of Ascent for the world first Ragnaros kill was simultaneously my best and worst memory. I played EQ on Rodcet Nife and always wanted to be a part of Ascent and be able to kill all the big bad guys that they took down. I just wasn't willing to dedicate the time that their raiding...

    NHL 2014-15 Season Thread

    As per the last 10 years, and likely the 10 following years, the Calgary Flames will once again be shit this year.

    What do you do?

    I live in Europe now after having grown up in Canada, and I think I know what he's talking about. People just don't use checks here in Europe. When I worked in Canada lots of business was still done with checks, particularly at the enterprise level. I post dated 12 cheques for rent for the year...

    MLB 2014 Season Thread

    I am a pretty big Yankees hater, being a life long Blue Jays fan it's hard to feel otherwise, but I have to admit, it was pretty cool to watch Jeter get a walk off hit in his last ever at bat at Yankee stadium. The guy played twenty years for the same team, and did it with class and without the...

    Wasteland 2

    One of my favorite Youtubers has a Let's Play of this game if any of those on the fence want to get a look at the gameplay and character creation. The link to it is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzFi...U6vOaFl_fyN_60

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There are perks to having jewelcrafting, blacksmithing etc. For those two professions there are the epic gems and the sockets you can create. I seem to recall seeing a table somewhere that listed what each profession had as a benefit and iirc they all worked out to +320 of a stat. For example...

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    I had Lasik done about 17 years ago now, my correction wasn't huge, I was -3.50 in both eyes. I still to this day have 20/20 vision and no haloing at night. It was the best decision I ever made and I have never once regretted it.

    DOTA 2

    The second Na'vi vs Alliance game from Dota 2 champions League is a pretty fun watch, about 70 minute or so game. You can find the VOD on JoinDota's youtube channel.

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    I am pretty excited about Liverpool drawing Basel. I live about a 50 minute train ride away from Basel so I'm definately going to try and get tickets. I got to see Liverpool in Bern a couple years ago in the Europa League and the 5-3 shootout Liverpool win did not disappoint, would be great to...

    German

    I am going to get my Swiss citizenship. The process isn't easy but it's helped by the fact that I'm married to a swiss citizen. Basically, I need to live and pay taxes in the same 'gemeinder' for five years in a row (to show some stability or something I don't know why really) and still be...

    German

    Best of luck to you Blazin with your German studies. I moved to Switzerland from Canada about 5 years ago now, and the first thing I did when I got here was to take 6 months of German courses. I already spoke French so learning a foreign language with genders and declensions was nothing new to...

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    Celtic is officially in for Champions League. I find it pretty funny as the same thing happened to them against Sion a couple years back, and they got through on a technicality that time too. Crushing blow for the Polish team, thats a shitload of money to lose if they were to go on and qualify...

    Yeah my team is through! http://cyprus-mail.com/2014/08/07/er...om-young-boys/ The draw today for the play-off qualifying round should be interesting, theres a couple big bad teams in there like Tottenham and Inter, hoping we can avoid them. But I really wonder sometimes if the person...

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    As a Young Boys fan living in Bern, all I could do was shake my head. Nothing we aren't used to though, no title here since 1986 and in a 10 team league you figure the capital city of the country would win once or twice per 20 years.

    I did a search for this game but didn't find anything, sorry if there is already a topic I didn't see. I gave this game a shot over the weekend and it's pretty fun, if limited, (only 3 maps right now) but it is only in an alpha state right now and it's ftp. Basically you build a robot using...

    EVE Online

    Do they still run that alliance pvp tournament? I remember enjoying watching the videos from it in years past and was wondering if there was some videos out there I haven't seen from recent ones.
