    Just had a Captains Mode were a Russian grabbed captain first who didn't speak, write or even ping the whole game. Picked 4 carries and Rubick and he banned Pudge, OD, Zeus and Timber. Other team picked DP and Bristle with first two picks. Game was over in 25mins

    For ranked I started at 2700, dropped to 2400, back up to 3000 and now down to 2800 and I que for all 3 modes available. I don't think any make a difference and I don't think I'm a markedly better or worse player at any of the rankings, just luck of the draw really. Only real way to advance is...

    No, your loan is amortized from day 1 and the payment just adjust based on your new interest rate regardless of the principle balance. The only loan where re-amortization is common is interest only loans and funnily enough they are gaining in popularity due to the flexibility after being...

    You need to look at your loan documents. Since your ARM is fully amortized more than likely there is no automatic re amortization when you make extra principle payments nor is your lender obligated to do so. You can always ask but they can just say no. Like I said though you need to look at...

    Right, that's why I said it's stupid earlier as it's more a detriment to the team than anything else as all you can do is ping. Or can they not even see your pings?

    LOL, did you just get a chat ban? I can't see how mine was from reports when the game in question it was a teammate that was going crazy but does Valve have chat monitoring? Anyway, pretty hilarious at times having no way to talk and 4 latins going nuts over what you are doing.

    Knocked out by Sunderland, what do you know. I suppose we'll hear now how Mata will propel them back into the CL. Considering they need half a team in new players then it would be pretty amazing if 1 single players sans Messi/Ronaldo turned around their ship to such a degree.

    How is Mourinho not doing the deals? He's made it clear Mata isn't needed and now CFC are trying to sell him. Do you think if Mourinho said he was needed that Abromovich or his son or whoever would sanction the sale?

    How in the fuck is a 24 hour communication ban an ok thing to do? Guy on my team was going all chat the whole game about American Inventor this and American Inventor that while feeding as PA and somehow I have a 24 hour ban where in game I can't even ping? Low q for 5 games is better than that, now I can't play for...

    Rival or not I'll be pretty amazed if they do indeed sell him. One injury to Willian, Hazard or Oscar and he's back starting and I can't see him getting dropped from the Spain squad over this shit.

    Heh, Zaphids comments on support Ench made me start picking her all the time. Went from ~2500 rating to ~3000 rating in a couple of days, had 3 games in a row where I had rapier on her even with mek/orchid. Funny shit.

    The fact that Spurs are level on points with LFC and have looked utter shit in any game vs. a good team is pretty lame. Everton can actually go above us with a win tomorrow. Need a healthy defense and better midfield balance, hopefully Lucas's injury isn't serious. As far as ManUre today...

    But he's not using the rent control portion of the program. Rent control is a rather widely accepted practice in most metropolitan areas and aside from some landlords you're not going to find many people that would argue against it. Artificially reducing a purchase price isn't as there's a...

    Most low-to-mod income programs are down payment assistance as that's usually the biggest hurdle to home ownership, it's rather unique to see one where there is an artificial purchase price involved. Did he state whether he gamed his income or not to fit the necessary profile? If not then...

    You have to sign IRS form 4506 which gives the requestor authority to obtain 2 or 3 years of your tax transcripts. Soon as those show up your app would be declined. We have down payment assistance programs here which are income restricted, I've had people declined that made too much 2 years...

    Pretty sure it was mentioned as just something Rust had a hunch on and that they had little else to do. Plus it was a really strange sounding story and as Rust noted right away there was no reason to believe the initial killing was the first for the killer.

    You never like to think of any episode as throwaway but they did have to setup the reboot in this episode. Whether you like the 3 min montage at the end or not it does give you an idea of some of the awesomeness we are in store for.

    Thought it was really solid. They're already hinting that they didn't really solve the crime with it being repeated recently, at least that's what I gathered from the newer cops showing Rust the picture. Also Rust is one wierd fucking dude, if I was Harrelson's character I would have just...

    Really? I thought it was pretty good as the action was end to end with chances for both sides. Certainly more like an English game compared to the usual Barca games where they are camped right outside the opposition 18yd box looking for openings.
