well, i gave into peer pressure and got the game for free... atavax.116 i think it is...  my friend is way better then me... but he was placed in silver and i was placed in plat and i've been rubbing it into him since it happened

the point of working is to improve your quality of life. work is part of life, so how enjoyable the work is, is part of your quality of life. Different people would be effected by different degrees to different salaries. so the question is if the salary increase increases your quality of life more then the less enjoyable job would decrease it. and then something that is easy not to factor in is if you are currently single, what is enough for you to live happily now is not the same as how much you would need to be happy if you had a wife and family to support.

ok, i created a e-mail address at yahoo, [email protected]

if you're building a $2k pc, i hope you are spending more then $200 on a vid card...

the red robin by me has excellent service and will cook your burger medium rare... i can't stand beef above cooked above medium and prefer medium rare.  the burgers are better then the average corporate restaurant burger, but there are plenty of places by me with far superior burgers, the bar with my favorite burger only charges $3.50 with a 7oz patty and if i'm really hungry i'll add a 2nd patty for $2 more and i have yet to find a place that has comparably flavorful burgers to it and i am actively looking....

Chris, there are plenty of places that have no problem cooking a burger to medium rare.  i don't understand how people can stand eating well done beef, it has so little flavor and is dry as hell... i can't stand fast food beef either...

which one is primo the first or 2nd link?

If this is the case, why did you ask the question in the first place?  Is the choice now keep both jobs vs. quit one, or are you telling us that there's only one option, and you're just wasting our time?

he has current job, he has another job lined up for when he has to leave his current job, and he has a third job that he's kinda interested in and has an interview for.... so he's asking which of the two jobs to pick.

no, every game company makes games to make money from them...  i never said the reason why starcraft 2 and diablo 3 will suck is because blizzard is trying to make money from them.

starcraft 2 and diablo 3 will suck because this is not the blizzard that made starcraft, the diablo's, and warcraft 1 and 2. they are not making starcraft 2 and diablo 3 because they suddenly came up with an awesome idea how to implement both of them. Activision said you have two valuable IP's you are not milking, make more games with those IP's. So they are making a RTS and a RPG by modern standards in the gaming industry, except they slap the Starcraft IP onto one and the Diablo IP onto the other to make bigger bucks. they are not continuations of starcraft and diablo, they are simply modern games with well known IP's.

its not like we are talking about bugs or about balance problems, you could obviously expect blizzard to fix those...  blizzard intentionally made it so its impossibe to play outside of anyone in your region other then in a blizzard sponsored event. they intentionally made it so that there are no LAN's even internet authenticated LAN's so that blizzard can prevent organized starcraft 2 events that don't pay blizzard money for it.

ok, i loved starcraft, i loved diablo, i loved diablo 2, i loved warcraft, and warcraft 2, but all those games are at least 10 years old.... what have they done in the last decade? warcraft 3 and world of warcraft. warcraft 3 was a failure of a rts and its only saving grace was that a fan developed DOTA with it.  World of Warcraft to say it was commercially successful is an understatement; but you know how many people that actually played mmo's before WoW likes the game? very few... its a very polished game, which has made it very noob friendly, but thats really the only thing wow has for it, its polish.

Blizzard of today is not the Blizzard of the diablo's, the original starcraft, and the first two warcrafts; its the blizzard of WoW; it is a giant machine lacking soul and originality and is poised to milk their IP's for as much money as possible.

they all look alike imo...

how is a thread asking members of the community to post pictures of themselves not in the community forum?
