  1. Re:Great Game on Review: World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    That's the beauty of being a casual gamer, you see. You budget your time, say two hours a day, and you know when to stop. Some quests might take longer, but considering that ahead of time can help you plan when you can afford the time to finish that quest for the Dark Sword of Impenetrable Defending. It might take longer to achieve your objective, but you'll get there eventually. It took me three years to get to level 80 in Asheron's Call. This leaves time for reading, writing, enjoying company, smoking bud, etc. Some might be expert multi-taskers that can do all of this at once, and good for them. It's not for everyone. I think the whole battle that we see regularly played out on MMO forums between power gamers and casual gamers is silly. If you only have two hours to play in a night, you only have two hours to play in a night. The game is there to be enjoyable for a long period of time, depending of course on your play style. Sure, you can race to level 60 in a few weeks, but where's the fun in that? I can honestly say that I prefer being a casual gamer.

  3. Re:That's nothing on British School Offers Elvish Lessons · · Score: 1

    And on the first day, the teacher said, "Mankoi lle irma sint, y'all?" And so y'all know, he ain't lyin'! =)

  4. Electronic Textbooks don't save me any money on Ripoff 101: Gouging Students for Textbooks · · Score: 2, Informative

    I go to school at University of Phoenix, using the online curriculum. We are given a choice between traditional textbooks and ebooks. The ebooks cost just as much as textbooks, and when the class ends, if you hadn't downloaded it, you no longer have access. I've taken to purchasing used books when possible.

  5. Hopefully... on Worm vs. Worm Battle Slows Networks · · Score: 1

    ...the guy that wrote this blaster-patching worm wasn't trying to use this as a way to get hired...

  6. Re:Open source buffoonery... on Networking the Redwoods · · Score: 1

    Addendum: I find your reference to the "faggotasstreestudy" amusing. Hopefully for obvious reasons.

  7. Re:Open source buffoonery... on Networking the Redwoods · · Score: 1

    Actually, some of the trees would still be alive. You are correct in assuming that you will not be.

  8. 2012? on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 2, Funny

    They better go for 2006. 2012 might be a bit too late.
