    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*

    Board Games

    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...

    Investing

    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...

    Investing

    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...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    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...

    Gun control

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

    Tooth is all fucked up Bros

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

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

    Tooth is all fucked up Bros

    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

    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...

    DOTA 2

    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).

    Retirement questions - any early retirees out there?

    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.

    Investing

    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.

    Investing

    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...

    Do you have health insurance?

    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...

    Except, many,manyplayers are straight up retarded and shouldn't be given any say in game design (hello 2 U people who still like WoW). I don't want any of that shit in a serious game from this genre; of which there are NONE now.

    DOTA 2

    Also don't understand the hate on Tobi. He's fun to listen to and entertaining, which is what matters. Otherwise, it'd be a boring thing to watch. When he has a Pro gamer as a co-caster, it's even better (Puppy, Syn, Slesh, etc.) Where's my fuckin' Pit Fiend and Techies????

    Fingers crossed this works out, but realistically doubtful and not holding out much hope.

    All I've read is that you can either ez-mode by being sneaky, or you can rambo and still never die after getting shot a billion times. Where is the challenge?

    DOTA 2

    This may or may not be true, but I find that when I'm blue or pink, it's the medium-high bracket and when I'm orange or brown, I'm in the high-very high bracket (similar to how HoN did it). The quality of player is generally better when I'm further down the list. Of course, I could be wrong.

    What Does Your Car Say About You? (The Car Thread)

    Apparently you don't even know that much, since it most definitely does not have "550 at the wheels" and is not an LSX, but an LS3. Also, go fuck your mother, for good measure (trying to hit all bases here; I'm sure I'll think of more).
