Other Games / Re: Starcraft - Both one and two, let's kick this into overdrive
« on: March 16, 2011, 06:26:38 pm »
I own and have played both through, but have never played multiplayer. The simple reason is I doubt my ability to spam click competitively. Even in FPS I am at the top of most scoreboards but I probably take the 1/3 the shots that most others. I'm just too deliberate. I do enjoy watching the esports though.

I've been on a few FOBs around that area that were pretty shitty, so I feel for you. The locals really don't/didn't like us around there. I always kept my cargo pockets full of candy for the kids and offered ibuprofen and aspirin to the adults. You;d be amazed how far that goes towards goodwill. One thing I miss is the hospitallity. We'd kick in their door, point a weapon at them, ransack their house and then they'd offer us tea. They even treat the people they despise with courtesy and respect for the most part.

another huge problem for japan is the economic situation of the rest of the world which has been tapped out by other recent disasters. The world is trying to shake us off it seems.

I would like to see magnetic generators reclaiming some of the energy lost by locomotion, be by car or train.

Well, my soon to be wife would love it if I never watched another one since the voices annoy her, but I'm a lifer it seems. I devour the obvious ones constantly:

Simpsons
Family Guy
Bob's Burgers
Futurama
Robot Chicken
Superjail
Drink Crow
Sealab

What else am I missing?

Life Advice / Re: I5 Intel processors versus the I7.
« on: March 14, 2011, 08:56:40 pm »
I5 is fine for the next 18 months - 2 years of latest games while the I7 is a bit futureproof for up to 50% longer. It's your decision. Personally I go for top of the line mobo and cpu while going for second or third best video card since I will have to replace that sooner usually. Just my 2 cents.

Get checked out by a doctor for chronic fatiigue, iron deficiency and depression. Most people don't even know they have these problems and are relatively simple to correct. Hope it helps.

Kaiser, the good and bad.........I am marrying my childhood sweetheart after 16 years on and off. I believe that she could be the one potentially but be prepared for the inevitable heartache when you leave highschool. Everyone needs to spread their wings and see what other people feel like close. Good luck

Strife if you don't mind some advice........Changing crews can be tricky since it should never be your idea or you can forget it. Find one of the other TC's who is constantly berating someone in his squad for fucking up and start being squared away when around that TC and make sure you always vocalize how you agree with his opinions. Also, show that you share interests outside of the mission. TC's just want their guys to get shit done without any input and also be able to joke around when shit gets weird. That was always the best technique I saw.

Good luck, keep your head low and let us know if you need anything sent. You should have a permanent mailing address by now.

Shadow President/Superpower/Superpower 2 weren't so much horrible as they were lessons in patience. Your actions had slow or imperceptible effect leading you to sometimes feel like you weren't actually in control of anything. It was/is kind of accurate since running a nation is more akin to steering a glacier than a car.

Supreme Ruler Cold War is coming out and looks like it might fit the bill. Supreme Ruler 2020 was good but labor intensive.

Anyone have a great guild? I am helping a couple of guilds but feel it would be more rewarding to help each other and have a better chance to play together.

Also, I have seen healer mobs as part of invasion forces. I agree there are many finishing touches that they need to add to include varied mobs.

I agree and have much hope for the future. I think the plan is to have it pretty good by the time the free 2 months are up so people will sub again.
