Say hypothetically you are buying a 1.5 mil place- So say you put 300k down, then you have a 1.2 mil loan At 4.375% APR, monthly mortgage is 5991 Property tax (1.2% CA) 18,000/yr Condo, so HOA 1500/month Average monthly cost - 9k/month So what monthly income do you think is needed to...

@ eomer, pretty sure the phrase is "hemmed and hawed" not "hummed and hawed", though thats a pretty cute variation. Nothing is proper substitute for trial-and-error; meeting someone early on and not working out means dump out and move on to the next, don"t waste any time. Persistence only makes...

haha wow you"re taking what i said waaaay over the top. When i said that i meant i"d say something like "yea he"s definitely got a better mind for business than me" or "your dad sounded upset about something"; and then her typical response "don"t say that, you are bringing me down" Actually...

ok fair enough, there"s a lot of truth to what you said about me there. but i"ve tackled this topic before with friends, re: how do you actualy get "more" confident? i"ve actually found in the past i"d get more worked up trying to figure out how to "be" more confident that it was a lot less...

not to digress, but that goes without saying. my point wasnt that i was shoving my flaws down her throat..more like, it"s ok to talk about the "unpleasant" things in life, whether it be to acknowledge/accept them, to improve them, or whatever else. The dialogue itself should not be anathema in...

i guess this is where i cant agree. call it lack of confidence, or insecurity or whatever you want. I just wont accept that its ok for someone to not know their significant other"s faults. To me its an important part of someone, and something someone needs to acknowledge and accept. For me, it...

you"re kinda getting now to what i despise about chicks in general, and my g/f in particular. what"s so hard openly accepting my faults and still being happy about who i am? I think a person"s flaws are just as important a part of who they are as their strengths, maybe she realizes that deep...

Define confidence? This definitely brings up a sour point for me, as my ex and my current g/f both love/loved going off about how i"m not "confident". but my g/f"s idea of confidence is dressing like a ck model, standing up really straight, and never saying anything unpleasant even if it"s...

I"m probably not as experienced with romantic relationships as most, partly because the few i"ve been in lasted several years and partly because after one of them i spiraled into a depression that lasted years where i rarely went out in daylight. I"ve rarely ever been around people that...

But see this is exactly my point of frustration. I enjoy putting "stuff in" so to speak and i"m not really looking to get something back, to me this would just seem so..mechanical? As an example that same g/f, I"d get excited if I came up with something I think she"d like, not necessarily a gift...

thats why arranged marriages rock. I can be myself (a nice guy) if i want and dont have to worry about it not being "mean" enough to keep her interested.

is aychamo still banned? his threads always seem to explode. i wouldnt have expected a multi-user failblog on relationships here but what the hell, good stuff. Eomer you must be separated from me at birth, because your failures are like mirrors of mine. I had the hardest time letting go. i"d...

the problem as i see it, is if ut is banned it would falsely lend some creedence to his cause, simply because this is a developer (and a famous one at that) which he"s ranting against. he would immediately be elevated from "random idiot" to "voice suppressed by authority and a spoiled developer"...

I too have a confession to make.. me irl

my predictions: 1) ut will manage to insult schilling"s kids in some way 2) schilling will use this as a justification to never post here again 3) ut"s supposed celeb identity is never revealed, thread dies, -or- celebdom revealed, others expose as fraud, thread goes to hall of fame

you get some kind of cheap thrill out of heckling schilling? "retarded dipshit fastball buddy" ? are you kidding? that sounds like a 12 year old, and a lame one at that. It doesnt matter how passionate you are about mmo"s, any possibility of a valid point that you may or may not have had is lost...

does anyone know layel,from sol ro? this whole story reminds me of him. completely started out as a joke then somehow it turned into some reality that needed to be upheld, to the point where in ffxi (i was in his guild) the guild leader - his "boyfriend" - supposedly flew out to meet "her" and...

this thread is going in circles. someone needs to pump some juice back into this thread. maybe blackhand or some other "anonymous" mod could bust out some of the pm"s millie got/sent and embarass the piss out of some common posters here.

this is exactly how i felt. i dont get how someone can appear so sensible but be so insane. i used to think you could judge a lot from a person from how they wrote but I clearly know nothing. probably wont happen, but it would definitely be entertaining to see pm"s to millie from foh...

this is pretty amazing. I have to admit I wonder how much this is affecting him(her?), considering how extensively he worked at covering it up, and now watching it become quickly unraveled before the thousands of posters he clearly felt some need to impress or portray to. first foh-triggered...

I"m exactly the same way. I remember when I zoned over to bonemire in everquest2 in the expansion, and started seeing exact copy/pastes of overworld architecture from lavastorm (but in a purple hue). It was a small thing, but it hinted to me that the dev team had long since phoned it in.

Bump for emphasis, despite the incredible grind that was leveling in ffxi, the combat system really made it far more tolerable. In fact i dont think the level grind would have been manageable in any other game due to the tedium. I suppose eq2 tried at the synergy idea with the heroic opportunity...

It all sounds good but in the end the difficult part is actually figuring out how to achieve those things. I"m sure there were a lot of passionate people working at vanguard, and im sure they werent passionate about producing a piece of shit. There"s just so much more complexity involved with...

do you have an idea yet of the "style" you"re going for. ie is it going to be more of an artsy/fantasy style (more wow/lineage2) or more realistic side (age of conan/ vanguard). that would probably affect your engine decisions as well.

I agree its certainly not something that can be implemented on the fly in an mmo that is already out, but if it"s tooled in from the ground up at the very roots of game creation it might be more feasible, which is why i broughtit up in this thread

I quit eq2 and have recently been playing a lot of nwn/nwn2, and it occurred to me how amazing the effect a community of modders can have on a game. Now I know there"s a lot of practical limitations to implementing this into an mmo, but why has no one attempted this yet, and is this something...

think you meant "when it doesnt happen" =p what routes are you pursuing to sign up programmers/engineers/artists etc to your company? apologies if this was discussed earlier
