But it pisses me off when a women wears a shirt cut so low you can see below her bra in the front- and then she complains that you are looking at her massive visible cleavage.
Reminds me of one girl I copped an eyeful of in a pub (years ago now) who made some sarcastic comment about my staring. I told her "you don't wear a top like that if you don't want guys staring at her boobs" and she actually shrugged and said "yeah, fair call".:P
Well, female hormonal contraceptives play merry havoc with women that take them. Wild mood swings and weight gain are two side effects that are almost universally observed. I'd imagine that hormonal doses would do similar to males.
I actually use standard cheap-supermarket-brand vegetable oil as chain oil for my chainsaw. It works great, the only problem is that it smells like frying chips when I chop wood (or zombies) and that makes me peckish.:)

Your proton torpedos harmlessly explode against the Death Star's armoured hull because you can't type fast enough to fly a starfighter.
You die.

Actually (since Sarth Xd is with X drakes up, and each is at a given location in space...) your first post was pretty accurate. Sarth0D, you just tank him facing to the right, where he stands. Sarth1D (Sartharion with two drakes still alive) you tank Sarth himself at the back left of the central area while you tank Tenebron (the 2nd of the 3 drakes) at the back where in 1D you tank Sarth. 2D and further I admit I haven't downed yet, but I'll get there (can only PUG raid because my wife has a magic radar that lets her know when I'm raiding and demand my attention then even if she's ignored me for hours previously). Still, swing and a hit, sir.;)
Not at all, mages pre-2.0 with rolling ignites was EXACTLY what an MMO needs. The idea of a bunch of DPS guys all standing around doing their own thing? That's meh. The idea of a bunch of mages standing around all spamming Scorch on the boss, and building up a rolling fireball that does more and more damage as time goes on? That's fucking awesome, and lets DPS players be a part of "something bigger". Of course it needs balancing but yeah, that's the basis of it. Synergy. Letting people get together to form more than the sum of the individual players. Tanks get this - hell, you're the lynchpin of your raid, you stand there with all the healers focused on you and all the dps hoping you're good enough to let them win, it's THE egotist role - in a way it's sad that WoW buffed tank damage so that tanks do similar dps to the lower DPS classes because now every Joe F**kwad and his dog wants to be a tank (I say this as someone whose main is a prot warrior who pulls 2.5 - 2.8k dps in raids, my rogue only does ~2.4). Heals don't but (in WoW at least) they're buffed out the wazoo and don't need the encouragement ("lol roll a healer" is a common insult).

What annoys me is that as a mage in WoW, I can pelt someone with a frostbolt and then a fireblast, and both do full damage. They should be going "owowowow cold... *BOOM* aaah waaaarm yay" and not take much if any damage. Also magic going 'magically' *ahem* through armour. I want to see armour absorb a goodly part of a spell and convert it to a DoT ("Your breastplate of shininess absorbs 50% of the dragon's breath. On the other hand it's now very hot, and you take 200 damage every round for the next 3 rounds because your armour is burning you."
Hey, I did my years of Lonely Driver Fractoidaru, then I got pounced (about 4 months after I honestly, genuinely had stopped looking) by a gorgeous young lady who decided I was going to be hers. It's rare but it does happen, and when it does... I dunno, I guess I just rolled all natural 20s that night.;)
Actually your second option sounds pretty similar to what happened too./rawr;)
(in my flavor of muds, literally add_action("blah", function()); to add a "blah" verb
And hence the origin of the term 'proc' which so many gamers use these days without understanding. "It's a weapon proc" = "when you hit with your weapon, it runs this procedure, which may cause FUCKING ANYTHING to happen but in practice usually just temporarily applies a buff to you or an instant damage spell or debuff to your target".
The problem was more that you can turn off weather effects (for performance reasons) so people didn't want it to be "spend $4k on a gaming rig or your opponents will have a competitive advantage". Of course the latest dungeon will apparently stress out any computer more than a year old, so that does slip sometimes... then again a good mate of mine cleared Sarth3D in both 10 and 25man versions (if you understood that go take a shot of vodka and talk to a girl) using onboard video on a 4-year-old computer. I'm glad I gave him my old 6800 Pro. >.>
See, thanks to my imagining that you're a voluptuous redhead whom both my wife and I find irresistible, and with whom we both ended up spending the evening performing UNSPEAKABLE and yet very pleasurable acts, I actually found that quite hot.
So yes, while movies *ahem* may be more visual, a vivid imagination will always furnish a better scenario.;)
And you like THAT? *THERE*? Wow, you filthy minx, I never would have guessed!;)
Despite only the most 'primitive' audiovisuals, Rogue has continued to excite gamers and programmers worldwide, and has been ported, enhanced, and forked now for over two decades.
Despite? Given how easily we could at least put a simple tileset on the game to make things more realistic, I'd say that Roguelikes' ongoing popularity must be at least in part _because_ of the primitive graphics. A high-rez animated monster can only ever be a high-rez animated monster, exactly as you see it on the screen. But the dashing asterisk can be whatever you imagine it to be, and that makes it better. It's just like the way books are satisfying in a way that movies can never quite be.
That whole passage is... wow. O.o You don't hear that one read in church very often. I'll definitely remember that one for future encounters with religidroids.
1) Contrary to what they told you, the property market doesn't always rise.
2) Lose. Not loose.
Sorry for the nitpick, and if you look at a larger time scale than the 20-or-so-years boom-to-bust cycle, then you're right. Personally, whatever property I end up buying in the coming years, I plan to sell all of it in 2027 or so and buy a crap ton of gold. I will then live on instant noodles for three years, sell the gold once the market's collapsed, and buy myself an island lair.:)
Good point, actually - sort of like J.K. Rowling and her endorsement of, then subsequent legal action against, that online Harry Potter encyclopaedia. It's cool to offer a free service that complements a popular product, but if it's something they could get around to charging for then they don't like it quite so much.
Also, as someone pointed out below, it may be more to do with the fact that the app actually (I believe) had the name 'Warcraft' in the title, which is a clear copyright issue. Blizzard's always been very proactive about protecting its trademarks.
And what does that "the rich" clothing designer do when he needs a new lounge room table, hmm? Does he go to Giovotti, the renowned interior decorator? Or does he got Priovotti, his poor cousin who only charges 50% as much? It all trickles down. The very rich buy things from the sorta rich (because other sorta-rich can't afford it) and the sorta-rich buy things from the somewhat-rich, and everyone gets money from ($tier+1) and spends money at ($tier-1).
(In the words of Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg): It's light. Handle's adjustable for easy carrying, good for righties and lefties. Breaks down into four parts, undetectable by x-ray, ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger, three thousand round clip with bursts of three to three hundred, and with the Replay button - another Zorg invention - it's even easier.
Um, I mean, : Look at all these little things. So busy now. Notice how each one is useful. What a lovely ballet ensues so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that created them. Technicians, engineers, hundreds of people who'll be able to feed their children tonight so those children can grow up big and strong and have little teeny weeny children of their own, and so on and so forth. Thus, adding to the great chain... of life.
...he actually started hearing that one hard drive gives better bass and another gives better trebble. And he can hear that difference.
This guy (or a similar one) responded to one of my posts on a previous topic. (Holy shit, Google actually foundit. O.o)
Anyway he was thought it was reasonable to claim that the sound coming out of his Hi-Fi system was audibly different when the computer was sitting on the floor to when it was on pads, among other things.

You just made me feel incredibly lucky. My wife plays WoW and understands (although doesn't share) my passion for Starcraft.

She doesn't like Donnie Darko though.
