I've been wanted to get into it for creating terrain and weapons/armor/accessories for gaming. I don't have the skill to take it to the level of making money off it.
All we need is for MtGox to "disappear" after a tragic fall off a sailboat...only to return with amnesia later on...and begin a romantic relationship with his nighbor who actually turns out to be his unknown sister.
Exactly. Our developers and QA department is fairly multiracial, but those people are qualified to do the job. Jackson needs to focus his efforts at the local level with school boards, and city leaders.
When I was a child, my school district didn't have AP programs. Luckily, my daughter has access to them, but like you said, they are under-funded. It's doubly bad since we are in Texas. Our high school stadiums rival many small college's. It's a tremendous shame.
I played the beta, and I was not very impressed. If this had come out five or six years ago, I'd be much more excited about it. I played each class, and brought them out of the starting area, but I never really felt like there was any conflict, and it never really kept my attention. The game has some interesting mechanics, but I feel like they attempted to not "be WoW" to the extent that the enjoyment was watered down.
Plus, there's the subscription. As it stands, after playing Guild Wars 2, I've seen how the F2P model can work. Sure, I can earn game time by playing, but I can't see myself really playing this enough.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't trust those countries to not put filters indiscriminately on content. The US has many, many faults...as do all nations, but the internet has been successful because of the government's relative lack of regulation. Once it's under international oversight, things could easily get out of hand.
I agree. While I don't feel "compelled" to play it like I did with WoW (probably due to no subscription), I still find myself spending most of my evenings. It's never felt like a chore.
I'm still a little surprised that Blizzard would make it so expensive. That's the full price of an expansion! I also don't buy their excuse for preserving player value. With full heirlooms, leveling is fairly trivial.
Dropping the A-10 in favor (I assume) of drones is completely asinine. It's proven technology that has lasted decades. I would take that over any of today's "cutting edge" jets. It's a damn shame.
Browser-based, like Card Hunter, would have made it great. I tried it in the beta, and it was okay, but it became a bit boring after a while. If it was something I could play on my phone, or play against friends, I would have enjoyed it more.
Word. My daughter and I are aspies, and I see no reason for a "cure." That being said, the autism spectrum is pretty broad, and anything that could help alleviate the more severe issues associated with it would be tremendously beneficial.
I typically ask friends who own that product, or have used it in the past. If I can't find anyone else, I'll check CNET. Most of their user reviews have been pretty spot on.
Man, my company hasn't had a QA environment that mirrored production in over a decade. I'd like to think that they had something set up, but the few state-run departments I've seen have been sorely lacking.
How is this any different than people who do nothing than stare at their phone nearly every minute of the day? If I see some guy wearing Google Glass, I'll totally engage him and talk with him, because it's a great piece of technology. As for the social aspect...it's not a real issue. People willingly give their SSN to overseas customer service reps all the time.
Exactly! Abrams had a blank canvas to create anything he wanted. Instead, he chose to recreate Star Trek 2, but with a weak-ass twist. It was depressing.
I agree that HD really isn't an issue for most. Most of my friends are more concerned with quality games and value, not whether I can see Mario's 'stache in HD.
The game has been in decline since the tail end of WotLK. All Acti-Blizz has offered has been to continually raise the threshold for loot, and "balance" by nerfing, so it makes sense that people will eventually look for alternatives.
I want my company's upper management to be clear and concise, rather than vague and full of shit. Sadly, the trend is to communicate as little as possible.

You pretty much nailed it.

Exactly! I see so many people in my office jump from diet to diet. They never listen to me.
Is it really so hard to just grind the beans and brew it yourself? I do this every morning.

I agree. It had tremendous issues while being developed, and continues to have issues. I'd take the A-10 over the F-35 in a heartbeat.

It's called Torchlight.

It's almost a shame it eat it. Almost...

Damn libs!

No.
