    Cloud Atlas (2012)

    Having just watched it, I think the little contrived plot elements extending between the stories wasn't really their manner of connecting them, but rather the common themes of struggle, overcoming your demons and triumph. Even then I am also on the fence about how well the stories flowed the way...

    Notre Dame Manti Te'o dead girlfriend a hoax

    So the 'Manti teo problem' is one of getting duppined, or evelysed? What will be the next foh-inspired RL drama? Will a spree-killer claim biggest burst dps? Will manti go tranny then become a douche in front of the world?

    Home buying thread

    I remember this thread was on foh, don't see it on here - thought it would be good to get people's thoughts/advice/experiences on this. 1) Financing - given today's mortgage rates, best to do as little down payment as is feasible? stick to 30 yr fixed? ARM? if/when 2) picking the right...

    Buying a car?

    I test drove one, it is an amazing car. They say 0-60 in 4.4 but I got to 55 in 3.8. The torque is incredible, you can actually feel your heart slam back against your spine. And it all happens smoothly and silently. The 17 inch touch screen is amazing as well. It's complete revenge of the nerds...

    Based on what youre describing, and the likelihood that she has severe diabetes given the renal failure, she probably has very bad diabetic gastroparesis, which is exponentially worsened by her liver failure and medicatins. in her situation, the things she describes as enjoying are likely all...

    Never heard of this game. Is this the cheeky British version of star control?

    Weight Loss Thread

    Has no one mentioned insanity yet? Intense workouts but there's a good emphasis on stretching. You can do a quick workout and still burn a ton of calories if you can keep up with the people in the video

    What's your luckiest kill or saved by the skin of your teeth moment?

    I telefragged thresh in a 1v1, on the e1m2map (The one with the yellow armor up those annoying steps) I went on to lose 40 to -2. It was awesome though

    Kashi's protein cereal in clover farms low fat chocolate milk. Then a cup of siggi's Icelandic Skyr yogurt, nonfat. Total ~350 calories, almost 40g protein, and a ton of fiber from the cereal. Great way to start a day, and no greasy meats to make you feel loagy. For lunch - nonfat Greek...

    I've seen a few pictures of this stuff attached to 'yolo' comments, which makes me not want to try it. Atleast I know cinnamilk will never jump the shark that way

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The fact they thought those retarded red circles is a good idea worries me. It seems it would have been more fun and intuitive to actually dodge or interact with the effects on the screen, rather than focus on circles on the ground

    Going cash?

    Doctors are notorious for making bad financial decisions, you should know that. In general you're better off doing the exact opposite of what you think is best and you will likely be better off

    Would you want to know?

    Ok this thread title had me confused. Isn't this a poll about whether we want to know if Goliath has a penis?

    Well, now what?

    I think future gameplay evolutions are going to revolve around new ways to get people to interact. I think combat mechanics are one direction that hasn't been taken far enough with regards to multiplayer/online gaming. For example, have new spell effects that occur only by combining casts of...

    About fohguild.org and Requiem

    No proof that's your cock? How do we know you're not a chick posting cocks to fool us? And you cleverly posted a small cock so we wouldn't be skeptical about the authenticity of a massive tool. Post cock with 'fohss' written on it (if it fits) or gtfo (disclaimer: I decided to never...

    Well, now what?

    This is probably old fashioned of me, but I miss some of the verbal cues of the environment that you had in Eq. I don't believe any mmo since has done this. It felt very old school to me, like something you would hear from a dm in a pen n paper game. I know a lot of it was largely due to...

    About fohguild.org and Requiem

    the reason gender matters is sometimes manginas do creepy things like invent stories and use terms like 'my bf' and other shit, and I feel that by participating in a rapport with such an individual I am becoming part of their disturbing fantasy and am de-legitamizing my own posts. example)...

    Well, now what?

    This forum to a large extent comprises of a very specific group of people - those who were hardcore into mmos, (and hence would have joined foh forums back in eq's heyday), and now have generally grown up and no longer can commit to games in such a way. How many of you were 17 or 18 in '99 and...

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    Gangbangers gonna gangbang, crazy people are gonna go crazy. The argument isn't one about statistics; there's no question that outlawing guns will not have a significant impact on murder and violence rates, which are determined by much more complex phenomenon (pablo escobar is pretty closely...

    Retirement questions - any early retirees out there?

    Thanks very much this will be useful! I forgot another confounding factor - my 401k. I am making max contributions allowable under IRS, and my company matches 1:1. I think this comes out to about 200k by the end of 6 years, not including any growth over that interval. Now I wouldnt be able to...

    Retirement questions - any early retirees out there?

    Thanks this was the kind of info I was looking for. Sorry I am really stupid with finances. So close to 3m should be my goal then? Can you show me the math for getting there with 500k stashed away currently? And yea this is a soft retirement. Off-topic, but my goal is to go back into some...

    The F*** Cancer Thread

    The F*** Cancer Thread

    Retirement questions - any early retirees out there?

    I want to retire by 40 - 6 years from now. No kids, and no desire to have any. Small condo with 3500$/month expenses including hoa, mortgage, taxes. I do have, or will have, an expensive car but will pay that down at 1000$/month over next 5 years. My question is, any other early retirees...

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    Back in the late 90s I used to use IRC for quite a bit for these things..efnet and undernet specifically i believe, with xdcc, fservs etc. Is that still an option? or is that also getting cracked down on or not viable for large scale piracy? Think there was also something called 'fsp' i used...

    Vasectomy Inc

    Ok found more info on the device I was mentioning early. Less invasive than a vasectomy; possible option for the particularly lazy/cowardly dudes out there. In all reality though both procedures are very minor with negligible recovery. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/ma...ticlekey=21688...

    Vasectomy Inc

    People who've had vasectomies tend to develop these large versions of these things called 'spermatoceles' near their testes, which I am not totally sure of the mechanism but is probably related to the vas ligation. They are quite common even in a normal population, but tend to be larger and more...

    Desktop Computers

    This is decent looking but still quite a bit larger than the custom pc's i linked. I don't think there are build-it-yourself cases that are close to compact as the tiki or alienware - if there are i'd be happy to give that a shot instead of paying a premium. The alienware especially is gimped by...

    There's another procedure women can get where they have these tubes inserted into their..tubes to block them. I forget what the procedure is called, and not sure on it's safety/effectiveness profile. I am pretty sure it is done more often in Europe than here. I am fairly confident though that it...
