Stardock is creating a new Massively Multiplayer Online Game called Society. One of the biggest problems with such games is that the world goes on, so that new players and old players are playing at the same time. So, conceivably, a new player with nothing is up against a player who has been there for a couple years, knows how to do everything, and has more soldiers
I got a job finally! I haven't been telling all the details of my search lately because, well, it wasn't going very well. But now it's done! I got a job with a forensic accounting firm. Basically I will be doing grunt work for them, as a Staff Accountant. Well, it's a temporary position to start, but they said that there was room for a hire if I prove to be worth
I've been playing Dark Cloud 2 pretty recently for the past couple weeks. As soon as I opened the box I couldn't stop playing it. Is it the engaging story I crave, like most games? Heck no. The dialogue in this game is so cheesy that I can eat plain macaroni while playing it. The story sequences are voiced, which is great, but all anyone ever says is "Yeah! and
It's harder to be a Mom if you're working, too. Especially if you don't WANT to be a Mom, it becomes an excuse to not spend time with them. "I'd love to spend time with you(lie), but I have to work!" Also, about not being able to have aspirations once you have kids... if you have a kid, they should be your number 1 aspiration. After that, yeah, have dreams, have goals, but don't put them in front of the kid. If you don't, then it will be h

Good luck! Informing people is always okay in my book, as long as the information is true and used correctly. You seem to be the kind of guy that would use it right.

People's lives are more important than their immigration status. The church can and will continue to feed people. It should not matter who that person is or where they are from. The church can't report these people, or they won't come, and then they won't get fed and will die. It's more important to keep people alive than it is to control the border that way. Try something else, Congress.
Glad you're back on the winning side! Good job with the sit 'n go comeback, that must've been nerve-racking! I don't know if I could handle 4 tables. I'd probably play one the way I was supposed to be playing another and mess up.
I started an AAR or two over there, but I never could get the game to stop corrupting my autosaves by crashing while saving them... That's one of the reasons I like Stardock... their games don't crash, and have great AI. Same name over there, have to go check that out again... To stay on topic, I forgot about the space combat game Allegiance. I didn't buy it, but I believe Microsoft let the community have the source code when they stopped m
I've poured a lot of time into Tropico. Sim City, the original all the way to Rush Hour, I've played them all. The Myst series is outstanding. I had a love affair with Europa Universalis 1 and 2, I bought other paradox games but I never liked any of them as much as EU, though I have yet to give Victoria a fair shot. For consoles, I play Gran Turismo, Harvest Moon, Final Fantasy Tactics, Super Mario Kart, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Fable, ESPN
You guys are missing something. What about the companies that manufacture high fructose corn syrup? I think they, and their government buddies, are to blame here. The big companies lobby to reduce subsidies to the sugar industry, and take those subsidies for their industries instead. Sugar is more healthful. Why isn't the government giving the subsidies to them? I'd rather see 'sugar' on the list instead of high fructose corn syrup.
Yeah, but it's a predictable sports calendar. Same day every week, one day a week. If I wasn't going to play softball, I would be moving to Georgia right now. I also haven't turned down any jobs yet based on anything. It's a church softball league and it's very important for me to have that additional fellowship during the week. I think if I had gotten that job I would've taken it even though it would have conflicted. But that is just speculation
So, during Finals week, also the week that JoeUser shut down due to the GalCivII launch, I completed my degree. But, between finals, all I did was interview! I had two interviews with search agencies, and two with actual companies. The actual companies were Stanley Bostitch and Putnam Investments. The Stanley Bostitch interview was basically a run down of
I think what's missing in this case is whether or not the girl told him she couldn't get pregnant in bad faith. I think when a woman acts in bad faith and gets pregnant on purpose, disregarding the wishes of the father, then there should be the ability to opt-out. But, if the girl is acting in good faith, really thought she couldn't get pregnant, then it's not her fault. I also think if a woman acts in bad faith with birth control that the o
Satan causes the tragedies to happen. This is so that people will react the way that some of you have. I don't want anything to do with a god that's going to treat us like his own personal ant colony and burn one of us with his celestial magnifying glass every so often, just for kicks, to keep us on our toes. </T
But... snow... tastes so good.. it's all cold, and snowy... And made into ice cream? That's like, mega-snow. But, I guess I don't want to die from snow-poisoning.
What's worse... what they do, and a happy, loving marriage, or them forcing themselves not to do it, and their marriage failing? I think I'd rather see the happy, loving marriage. Yeah, it is loving. Just because he's satisfying his desires to be an aggressor doesn't me she's not satifying her desire to be the victim. The cycle of domestic violence has a part in it where the aggressor has to apologize and give gifts in order to wi
So it's finally here. My last day in the Learning Center at my University, and I'm feeling weird. You see, I've never actually left a job before. This was my first job. So, there are people here that I will probably never see again. We were coworkers for 2 years, but we had more fun together than work together. Appointments are all one-on-one, but when we're not
I might end up buying the guitar game first. It turns out that I can't get it out of my head. I keep thinking about playing Joan Jett's I love rock and roll, and Smoke on the Water, and Iron Man. Those are the only 3 I actually played. But I think I'll try to get my fix at Best Buy. Man, that store's great. Now all I need is a friend who owns it. Hey, how does the 2 player system work? They only have one guitar at BB
I've found that trying to get him to drift back to sleep is futile. He just slowly gets louder and louder with his crying. He wants to be out and about and not missing anything. The ironic part of it was I had to get him to take a nap to post this article. He slept for about 2 1/2 hours. He's a good baby, he just wants to have his head up all the time. Might try the wrap th
My baby hates to go down for a nap. The only way he'll do it is if we feed him and he gets sleepy. But, he only gets sleepy twice a day. He's 3 1/2 months old! He should be taking naps every hour and a half! He gets really fussy at night, but he doesn't want to go to bed then either. Then, when he wakes up, it's like, 4:30 am and he is up for the day. Needless
So I got a chance to play Guitar Hero at Best Buy yesterday. It reminded me of why I don't play the guitar for real. My hands just don't move fast enough. I'm sure with practice I could get faster, but I don't even have a guitar to practice with. I can get through most of the easiest song on the easy-medium level. It's very difficult for me to focus on tw
Accounting will never be 100% accurate. But why stick with a method practically guaranteed to be innaccurate? But, you're right, consistency is what really matters. Dr Guy, I'm glad you understood without accounting training! That's one of my purposes here, to talk about accounting issues and see what the 'guy on the street' has to say about it. It's all well and good for just the super intelligent accountants to talk about it, but what doe
Ah, inventory. Lots of businesses have it, so how do we account for it? Well, under the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP - If anyone works for GAP and sees a misprinted shirt, I will so buy it.) the answer is... it depends. There are four different methods of inventory valuation. They are: First in, first out (FIFO) Last
I miss ColecoVision. My parents still have the system, with Q-Bert, Turbo(but the wheel doesn't work), and all those other wonderful games. Venture, Xaxxon, Cabbage Patch Adventures... Frenzy... ah, the memories... the system still works.
