I drive past the (former) THQ offices in Carlsbad every month when I visit one of my agencies there. Sad times indeed.

Another beloved hobby that's been slowly going down the tubes due to poor management and greed. I started Warhammer in my early teens with a half dozen friends and eventually got my brother and his friends into it. We had a good run of a decade and a half before we threw in the towel (fuck you...

Yeah, bottom line is: single player rules for the setting,sounds, and visuals. Multi player isn't worth your time. Just as an aside; Warhammer fantasy Total war being made.....wat

I had such high hopes for this game (Warhammer nerd for nearing 20 years now) and this was a big let down in many ways. I had some annoying lag in the single player campaign, but overall I absolutely loved that experience. However, when it came to MP, it was a disaster. No dedicated servers...

Definitely not tell a soul, except immediate family. Give parents and brother enough to be comfortable (more to brother after he works hard at a career) and get lots of material shit to play with. Travel a bunch, of course, but keep my job, which I really do enjoy (financial advisor, lol).

6 Dota2 invites to hand out and everyone on my friends list already has the game. Any posters here who still need (can't imagine there are)?

You pretty much answered your own questions. EQ was slower paced because of the lack of actions/spells that could be used in a given time frame and the relative HPs of a mob. For melee, it was auto-attack and one, maybe two other buttons (taunt, kick, backstab) and some hybrid spells that...

I feel ya there Hatorade. I got my brother a boardgame from a local store and it was $100. I didn't think much of it, but then I saw it was about $60 online and I got a little annoyed. I couldn't believe they jacked the price so much. I really want to support local stores - which also host...

I like that idea, but it would have to be selective and capped at some point. Using an example from EQ; Frenzy Ghoul in Guk starts out tough, but gets even nastier each kill, within a defined range (after the first kill he gets between 5% and 15% stronger. After second kill he gets between 15%...

This is obviously from the perspective of a more niche crowd (us, really) but I wouldn't care if the mouth-breathers got frustrated and left. I'd like a game with some challange and thought involved, that kept me interested beyond a month. I realize, however, than the companies making the...

I suppose I could be looking at it from an incorrect perspective. The creatures are very, very powerful compared to the old days, but it feels like the spells are too. I dunno, maybe I haven't been introduced to enough of the new cards, to call it. Though, what I mostly played was spells...

Had a ton of fun being a DM about....11 or 12 years ago with a group of friends. Great campaign and very involved story. But, I'll be damned if I have the time or energy for that anymore. Hell, I can't even finish most computer games these days for lack of time and end up just playing Dota2...

Don't think it's been said yet, so I'll go ahead and do it; Magic from the last couple of years, makes magic from 3rd edition through like, Invasion block, mostly useles. The power inflation on the new sets is so fucking retarded. It's like EQ through Velious, versus EQ today with the item...

I wanted to make sure this was kept for everyone to read, since the last page has been nothing but a pissing contest. We, as hard core gamers, might not want all the shit that WoW has put into games that dumbs it down and makes is an online single-player game, but the general public at large...

Agreed. Having essentially every item droppable (with exceptions from the planes, etc.) kept the economy going and in the end, the game as well. - Have 95% of items in the game drop/tradable. - NO auction house. - Little to no instanced dungeons/encounters. - NO hand-holding for the mouth...

Not the only reason Unions are stupid *cough* ruined car industry and continues to destroy country from the inside in every environment in which it exists *cough*

Umm....might be a bit much for a 7 year old, but you could probably simplify things to suit your needs and just have fun with him/her building the map and fighting the monsters. The card game is actually easier than the board game, mechanic wise, but I understand the visual and tactile appeal...

Our frequently played games: - Settlers of Catan (anyone who doesn't like it is a Mexican, Jew-rat) - Munchkin (cards) and Munchkin Quest (board) - Dominion (cards) - Thunderstone (cards) - Carcasonne (board) Back in the day: Axis and Allies, Shogun, Warhammer, Warhammer 40k (table top...

Depending on age and potential future income, tax deferred accounts might not be a good idea at all. Find someone in your area who is: Life/annuity licensed, as well as Securities licensed (6, 7, 63, etc.) and not biased to one particular product (which, is usually securities because it's...

Very viable concern, since in the last decade we've been screwed as investors. Luckily, the company I work for is over 160 years old, still mutually owned (not public, not answering to shareholders or a board), and conservative by nature, which is why it's still here; not to mention contractual...

On it sometimes, lvl 18 Barb Warrior named Woadness. Really though, it's a time filler and nostalgia trip that won't last all that long and groups are tough since only 1 or 2 zones have people in any given level range. Kind of stinks that even though 700 people might be on, 1/4 of the server...

Not a gun nut, not Republican. Just happen to think rationally, unlike the majority of the sheep in this country.

A trip to the dentist is a few hundred dollars; big whoop. Figure it out.

Because they killed children, yes, I agree with torture....

A trip to the dentist is cheaper than a night out with dinner and drinks. Get your fucking priorities straight and take care of yourself.

Gun control is just bullshit, political agenda-pushing and has no bearing on crime. Baddies will find a way to get a gun and the lawful citizen will then not be able to, which leads to them not having the ability to defend themselves. Besides, if it comes down to it and the gov't tries to...

What Pyros said; Aba, Bristele, Techies, Pit, Medusa, Troll, Soul Keeper. Come on, they are OG and eagerly anticipated (clearly Techies being the bestest of the best).

There are many annuities with guaranteed income riders (the norm these days) but rates are horrible right now. In 5-6 years, who knows; they'll likely be up again though.

I work for the carrier. I know the products in and out, along with everything offered by everyone else, whether insurance, annuities, or securities. The "risk" in this scenario, is not being healthy enough, or following through with the committment to fund. Regarding your argument about fees...

No, I've been doing this for 14 years and know what's available. You, however, seem to be ignorant to all the choices, which is the case with most of America.

Why are fucking retarded heroes like Timbersaw being added, and not classic, popular heroes?

We're in the lowest income tax environment in a century and you want to put all your money into something that will be taxed later, when it's much higher? I'd rather put money I already paid tax on (at it's lowest) into something that grows without taxes and pays me income, without taxes; all...

Spot on. There has to be content (lots) and it has to matter when you do something or get something. People used the Cloak of Flames through Luclin and beyond because it was fucking boss. EQ didn't have ridiculous, drastic increases in item power; people used things for a long damn time and...

Yup, I guess a bunch of you did drink the Negro-Jesus koolaid and really do believe its a good thing. Tell me how awesome socialism and fewer rights as citizens is good too! Oh, and fill me in on the benefits of giving away what I worked hard for, so some lazy piece of shit can get free...

That looks so, unbelievably corny.

Cash value life insurance first - Indexed UL -, securities (mutuals, stocks) second.

Are there really people stupid enough to think Obamacare is a good thing?

*sigh* .....Wakandanhs.....
