    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Just wanted to post for the first time tonight my group beat the hard mode raid without cheesing any of the parts. I've beaten the raid for 4-5 weeks now, but we have always cheesed something. We did Templar and Atheon and oracles without exploiting the insanely easy cheese spots. I felt...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    Your reading comprehension is almost as bad as your trolling. No one in this thread has offered up the idea of letting the girls off with a slap on the wrist and getting back to their wonderful childhood. The only point of contention has been whether to try them as adults or as children in...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    I fail to see how anyone could condemn two twelve year old children to death after we've had only a sparse amount of information from our super-hype-media. Fucking seriously. You guys are speaking in absolutes. How the fuck do we know if they are remorseful? Not a rhetorical question, a...

    12 year olds stab friend to prove Slender Man is real

    I have a very hard time with the notion of charging these two as adults. They are 12. The crime is heinous, disgusting, and evil. That doesn't change the fact that these are kids, they are 12, they are not adults. These are 6th or 7th graders we are talking about. We do not know the...

    Any decent games for the Nintendo DS?

    She has Pokemon Pearl. I tried playing it, but found it amazingly kiddie. I loved Blue, Red, and Yellow back in the day. Are Pokemon X and Y more similar to the roots or Pearl? Also - any game that is good that doesn't require the fucking stylus, I can't stand those things.

    Regular DS. It's pink. My wife bought it. But, it's better than nothing.

    Any decent games for the Nintendo DS?

    I'll be living in Alaska for three months this summer and I wanted something to do on my days off. My wife bought a DS a few years ago, I've never touched it, but I was wondering if there are any decent games for it. Are there any decent time-consuming RPGs that are not overly kiddie? Not...

    The 90s kid thread

    Legend of the Hidden Temple was awesome. Also, you can't mention the 90's without Earthbound, Hook, and Road Rash, still remember getting the chain to whack people on the side of my bike, ha.

    The Robots are Coming (DoD to replace one fourth of soldiers with bots by 2030)

    While we are at it, not technically robots, but the teachers of the 21st century are being phased into online classes. A fucking machine can do the grading. It's staggering the amount of kids that learn through online classes, without any interaction with a teacher. As a teacher I see the...

    COME AT ME BRO'S (TYPING COMPETITION)

    That seems humanly impossible; inhumanly possible. I was around 70-80, my best was 106 in the practices, hit 93 with the 'typing test' certification. I don't type on a computer nearly as much as I used to. I do wish I could be above 100 words per minute.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I did not imply that we should blindly praise MS. Please do not put words in my mouth. I said, for myself, so far, the Xbone one has exceeded my expectations. I am sure the Ps4 would have exceeded my expectations as well. Both consoles have had their fair share of issues with BF4, but...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Been playing my Xbox one since near release. All is well for me. I don't care much about which system is 'better.' My xbone has given me some issues with voice commands and some funkiness with BF4 which is on Dice and EA rather than MS. As a consumer though, isn't it better for us to...

    CPR / First Aid Online Certification

    It's a charter fishing vessel rather than commercial so things are more lax, it's not dangerous in a "Deadliest Catch" sense of the word.

    CPR / First Aid Online Certification

    I have done the hands on process twice now. It is more a necessity of getting the certification as I already know the majority of it. I just wanted to know if an online certification is legitimate or not.

    CPR / First Aid Online Certification

    Have any of you received CPR / First Aid Certs. online? Are they scams or legitimate? I need a CPR and First Aid certificate to work on a fishing vessel in Alaska. I really would prefer doing it online, but I don't want to waste my time. Also, I live in the rural north woods, not a lot of...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Fucking, eh. Kalladim. Beating the shit out of 'a decaying skeleton' for the chance of rusty broadswords and staves. Loved that game. The more I read on EQ Landmark the more excited I get that this possibly won't be a massive failure.

    Philip Seymour Hoffman Found Dead

    I have a hard time caring when celebrities OD. He, of all people, knew the risks. Not to be heartless, but lots of people die, people that are not self inflicting it upon themselves. Sure, his movies were excellent, but come on, top-tier acting doesn't excuse drug overdose in my world...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    In BF3 my goal was to hit 500 kills with every weapon. I made it through every AR, Shotgun, PDW, Carbine, and all but two of the snipers and LMGS. It kept me going for a long time. Currently on a mission to hit 100 kills with every weapon in BF4, from there I will do 500 with the main...

    CFB 2013-2014

    I am a Michigan fan. I knew OSU was a joke last week when we had the chance to outright win at the end of the game. 41-42 to a bad Michigan team is sign enough that you did not deserve the ranking you had. Loved the win last night. Also, only pretentious cunts use the tOSU. Yeah, THE...

    Black Friday 2013

    I wonder how many people will die from being trampled this year. Gotta get the deals. Fucking Black Friday disgusts me. Who would give up spending time with family on Thanksgiving to buy shit like an animal?

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    FPS Freaks. I tried using them on both of the 360's analog and it was difficult. I ended up using only one of them on the right stick and they definitely helped. One issue that I have not seen (yet) and one of my main reasons for going for the Xbox one and a reason that has some validity...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Lol. I am not getting pulled into a Ps4 / Xbone debate. I am getting the Xbox one. For multiple reasons- I know the Ps4 is 'more powerful' I just don't care. As to the Destiny comment, I have no idea about differences between the two, possibly I will research some, but I don't honestly...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I am getting a Xbox one simply to play BF4. Sure you can play 24 players on Xbox 360, but the Xbox one and Ps4 will have 64 players on console. That is enough reason for many to upgrade to the next gen system. Probably won't buy another game until Destiny is released.

    Commuting to and from work

    Last year I was able to walk to work. It was great. This year I have a 25 mile drive which takes about 28 minutes. It's through rural wooded country, so it isn't horrible. Unfortunately it's 55 mile speed limit and in the winter it will be rough.

    The Future of Education - ReRolled Solves Problems

    Become a teacher it's alright. I work in a rural district and I really enjoy it most days. I try my best to push all the administrative/state/federal mandated shenanigans out of my head. I comply and then go right back to what I was doing.

    The Future of Education - ReRolled Solves Problems

    Let's be perfectly honest with ourselves, how many of us would have actually made it into the advanced placement courses/track if we would have been tested in late middle school with a make it/break it test. I know perfectly well that I was an animal in middle school, there is no way I would...

    The Future of Education - ReRolled Solves Problems

    Our country is massive. That needs to be understood. One step, all encompassing programs will not work. Take for instance the OP's "Make students learn through video games", it is a great idea, until you actually do the math on what that would take to retrofit our entire nation to have the...

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    Coming from a teacher- Your comment is off the wall. Parents are the problem. Not teachers. I don't know any teachers who are more interested in making fun of their students, that is simply an asinine comment.

    Star Trek - Into Darkness

    I thought it was decent. I saw it with my family. Basically as soon as we made it back to the car from the theatre we started ripping into it's different plot holes. At one point my mother referenced this Star Trek being similar to the new hobbit film. Way too much repetitive action and...

    Oblivion - Tom Cruise goes WALL-E

    For a matinee it fun and well worth the 10 dollars spent for my wife and I. Some issues with plot and a few what happened there moments, but overall I was happy. Much better than the average shit. Go spend 10 bucks so future sci-fi movies profit. Don't be a cunt and pirate it. Some movies...

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    I know I'll get reamed for this, but fuck my asshole if "Battle Royal" isn't a steaming piece of shit. Yes I said it. Just because it's a foreign film and off most people's radars doesn't inherently make it good, it just makes it obscure. That said, this is for Hunger Games not Battle...

    Do You Cheat in Video Games?

    A lot of you neanderthals seem confused. Glitching / Exploiting / Abusing game mechanics / modding in Multiplayer games = cheating. For fuck's sake call it what it is. I am not some masochist, but I enjoy difficulty in my games, I play them always on the hardest difficulty because...

    New Rule: Should we cull all EQ-Neckbeard discussion from game threads?

    Honestly it's not that big of a deal. I voted a "no". None of us want massive derails, but over moderation is even less desired. If people are purposefully trolling then ban them. If there is discussion then allow it, if you find it distasteful then don't reply. Really- take the top 5...

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Actually in can be summed up in two words, "Dumbledore dies." Reading just to find out what happens at the end is like playing video games (single player offline) and cheating to jump straight to kill the end boss. It's not the final outcome that matters, but the ride on the way there. If...

    Aradune Returns to EQ aka the EQ Nostalgia thread

    Sorry for the double post- but I remember that clear as day. Cawkstone was the name they earned when they popped sleeper. They said they wouldn't break, but it didn't take long till they all fell apart. Christ EQ drama was fun.

    If I remember correctly you powerleved the first Froglok Cleric to lv 70 or 60 whatever the cap was at the time in like less than a day right? Fawy or something like that was the name. I remember following Harm I played Xev as well, but I was nothing but a peon.
