    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Exactly. Like why else would I have played it any differently? I wasn't trying to get back with her.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    That'd be great if I were still trying to get back with her. She contacted me out of the clear blue AGAIN, a month after my last contact with her. That's twice now I've ignored her, and twice she's tried to contact me again. This latest contact was just last week. I didn't respond. Let...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    I'm sure you've learned a lot from reading PUA PDFs, but you completely missed the point. "Acting like a man" doesn't mean never apologizing. Secondly, the relationship was already over...I had nothing to lose by apologizing for nasty things I said. What "beginning of the end" are you talking...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Yeah, there's big potential for circular weirdness there. I don't intend to contact her again any way you slice it. Regarding apologies: I disagree with this part. There's nothing wrong with it, it's a human thing. As fucked up as breaking up with someone by e-mail is (like 10 sentences...

    And she's 40 years old. Forty.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    DRAMA! So...if anyone remembers my story from Feburary about the woman who broke up with me by e-mail after a long relationship. Well, anyway, I'm 100 percent better, not an issue, I just got a recent e-mail that was weird. Rerolled Long story short: I was (rightfully) quite annoyed by...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    Seriously? You're aware self-study of language is a huge thing, right? I've got a dozen books. It's all drilling, drilling, drilling. I use Assimil and Quizlet (electronic flashcard site.) Tons of lessons on there. I watch French movies, I listen to French music. Great forum here for...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    I play tennis at the park, walk/run in the woods, and sit in the sun for a while. I shifted from doing all my cardio at the gym to the park. It's much more fun and relaxing. I just bought a new Babolat racquet not long ago. Won two games last night, 6-2 and 6-3, back to back against two...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    Thread bump: Just uninstalled every game on my computer, which I've done in the past. Uninstalled Steam, everything. I think I left everything off for like 5 months last year (or was it 2012? I can't remember) from about January to May or June, then started creeping back playing this or...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yes, yet some others still seem to be more fun for whatever reasons I can't necessarily articulate. I will say not my most favorite game genre, though, for sure, for that reason. D2 seemed to be more "fun" for whatever reason, for example.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Ha, me too. I almost bought the expansion. Glad I didn't, because I know I'd get bored quickly after hitting 70.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I was a quitter of this game 2 or 3 weeks after it came out, like many. I just came back and reinstalled for the first time since then after reading this thread and seeing it mentioned elsewhere how things have improved. I'm bored already. I have a 60 WH who I got a couple of legendary...

    DOTA 2

    I just managed to get sniper, take aim, nethertoxin, and walrus punch. Can't believe that much stuff was left up, and I was like 7th down the line for my first pick. We won, I was 15 and 3. I rarely get lucky enough (nor am I smart enough) to build good carries, always play support. The...

    Meepo is in ability draft now. Maybe other new ones too.

    I've went over the whole thing backwards and forwards with female friends who know 20 times more information than I've posted here, over the course of the entire relationship. One of these females in particular is Ms. Relationship Doctor who reads like every book on relationships and commitment...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Thanks for the words. It's an interesting read. I'll give you some more breakdown on this chick without getting into a ton of specifics. She was really special to me because she was European from a country I really love, I know some of the language...it was so unique finding her here...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    The breakup was in December. I was talking about marriage with her in that thread early last year. It's been over two months, and yeah, it still fucking sucks. I just can't let it bother me anymore. No fucking closure...not a chance to talk, ask questions, nothing. Completely ignored...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    I'm dealing with a semi-recent breakup. The girl mentioned this thread from March of last year: Marriage and The Power of Divorce - Page 4 Long term relationship. Talked about getting married. Literally never argued in person...occasional quibbles, never a real argument. She broke up...

    DOTA 2

    This is probably redundant and obvious and doesn't really matter anyway since it's AD, but regarding ability draft...I've found if I'm the one to start taking stuns and disables from the getgo (i.e. Tombstone, sven stun, WD stun, etc.) I win the majority of games. Which would be boring if you...

    Valve monitoring you?

    It's not surprising Punkbuster did the same thing before.

    Goat Simulator

    I enjoy the fact this exists, but it looks like it'd be fun for all of 20 minutes before the novelty wore off. It just looks like a lame mod for some engine (source?) that should have been released for free as a gag, not sold for $10.

    I watched a game of that event being played for five minutes. I don't even really have any interest in trying it.

    It's A Wonderful Life.. sequel? Dafuq?

    They should just remake it with Ice Cube in the role of Jimmy Stewart.

    DOTA 2

    After playing ability draft quite a few times now, yeah, it's fun, but...it starts to wear on me. The games are almost always incredibly lopsided. One team has one or two guys who buttfuck the other team, and it's always like that it seems. Never a fair game, it's always like 60 kills to...

    DOTA 2

    I'm sure this is bullshit, but I swear to god I've seen way more of them in the past couple of weeks for some reason. I used to get them occasionally, many times recently I've had 2 or 3 on a team before. Edit: Just played sniper with impetus + sniper range + LS's passive (wish I could...

    DOTA 2

    Not that I even care anymore, it doesn't really matter, I'm still playing the game. But I've went from almost 3200 back down to 2700 something. I play supports 99 percent of the time, and I'm good at it. I do what supports are supposed to do. The problem is never me as a support. There was...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    When I was 20 years old I had a girlfriend who asked me if she could hold my junk while I took a leak. Never actually got around to doing it, by the way, but she mentioned it one day. I'm in my 30's now, I've never had another girlfriend who asked.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Aaaaand I'm done. Having had a taste of the PvE leveling the legit way, I'm bored already at level 10, and I have no nostalgia of DAOC anyway.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I had a Windows crash on startup at first too. Had to go into safe mode and delete the drivers. Use this FIRST: Guru3D - Driver Sweeper It's a driver cleaner. THEN install the new (old) drivers. Worked for me.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I fixed my FPS problem! Attention other people with AMD cards who were having graphical problems: Downgrade to AMD 13.4 drivers. DAOC is running absolutely fluid for me now.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Not that I'd stick with it anyway, but at least two of us here (and some people on the forum) are having massive graphics lag despite having computers that way outclass the game. I can't figure it out.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Hmm. Gonna be interesting to see how many people actually play.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I just asked on the forum again too. I think we just have incompatible video cards, even though we have computers that way outclass DAOC. There's probably some kind of setting that could be changed, but I dunno what. Edit: Granted I wasn't on very long because it was almost unplayable...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I'm getting massive graphical lag despite the fact I have a pretty modern system. Nearly unplayable. Whenever I try to turn around in circles and look in other directions the FPS drops down to nothing. Turned all the graphics settings to low as possible, no difference. Weird. All updated...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Doh. Well that answers that question. I was just reading a link posted above and saw it. So I guess the only real healer is cleric for albion then, and friar to a lesser extent.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    So, I only played DAOC like a handful of hours before quitting in 2003 or 2004. Heretic vs. Cleric at this patch of the game, what's the opinion? No idea if I'll actually stick with it this time either, but I'll check it out. I like going around healing / buffing people / being useful in...

    DOTA 2

    Er...lifestealer isn't a mid hero. You should only go mid when someone else is there to help them gank, teamfight, or go help the people bot. I think he was just pointing out mid XP is the best, which it is, but that's not a lane for LS.

    DOTA 2

    Yeah, TP's are a huge thing I ignored for a long time and finally realized that they make you more money than you lose, not to mention can win the game for you. For the longest time when I started out I'd saying "no way I'm wasting money on that when I can save for gear instead!" Now a days...

    DOTA 2

    I had the exact same line of thought when I started playing. I saw a character that was listed as "jungler" so I assumed I should just stay in the jungle and never leave until 30 minutes in or something. Which I did a couple of times, and I noticed people bitching at me, for good reason, I...

    DOTA 2

    I just started playing in August. I'd never played any of these games before (MOBAs.) I've maintained a slight winning average pretty much from the getgo, always stay a few percentage points over 50, I think. It's really not that hard to do well with certain heroes, but for me, I just had to...
