If my objective was to come on here and change the minds of the libs on this forum maybe I'd give a shit.  Not my objective though...

This forum is about the only place I ever actually communicate with people that are not completely outraged by this administration.  It has been obvious for a long time now that a whole lot of the public are completely uninformed and this forum is my destination to witness it first hand.

This forum also represents a great place to witness first hand liberal tactics, such as insulting and diverting.

You know the administration is corrupt when you have the likes of Lanny Davis demanding a special council...

Nobody gives a fug what your objectives are, but it's fun to have you here because we get to point and laugh and tell jokes behind your back.

I only posted because I assume he has already traded it in at this point and was hoping to offer some explanation for lack of interest.  Gratch, if you haven't traded it back and want me to delete my post I'm happy too.  As for my statement, I buy most new games from Greemangaming, which almost always offers 20% off on new releases and preorders.  Check out this thread if you don’t believe me.

Console titles tend to hold their prices slightly better but I have seen BSI for $15 off already.

Sorry, I read your post as 'drops to $15'.

Ale

The problem is most games drop to $15 off within a couple weeks of release now.  You could also buy the PC version of Bioshock for $46 new on release day. 

I think that's an exaggeration.

Gratch, just curious if you think GS will give you $45 for it.

Ale

It worked. ATB is getting attention.

Ale

That's kind of how I feel about it.

Ale

It launches today. Anyone trying it out? I really don't need another MMO, but this one intrigues me enough to give it a look.

Self defense can be performed using any number of tools.  Should I claim owning a nuclear missile (other than the one in my pants...BAM!) is a basic human right?  

As for defining a human right, read on.  Then read some more.

To equate human rights with the right to bear arms in the United States is utterly ludicrous and trivializes such things as the Civil Rights Movement.

Is it a MIRV?

I'll get a $15 Amazon card for whoever has an XCOM code left.

ALe

BTW, if Amazon is your pre-order outlet of choice, clicking on any of the entries will go to their pre-order page (if one exists).

I was up to slide 30 or so, and missed the arrow and went to the Amazon page. When I hit the back button, I was back at slide 1. Is there any way to remember the last slide we were on?

Ale

Amazon should be loading in a new window/tab

Edit- looks like you clicked on the one slide that I didn't change to 'new window' for the link It's fixed.

Thanks 

Ale

I'll get a $15 Steam code for you.

Ale

So sorry to hear that, Harpua. I know how you're feeling. I had to put mine to sleep today. Most likely a brain tumor. It was just a week ago that we realized something was wrong.

I never thought I'd be mourning the 10 year old before the 15 year old.

What's that Obama budget proposal Harris is talking about? I thought there was no such thing.

Ale

I'm a commission only sales type and our numbers are up 40% over last year, so it isn't bad for all salesmen

Did you think you'd see a difference in 5 days?

Ale

I don't understand why people do it either.

Ale

F34WMFWWVWWF.  not that hard, took me about as long as that Facebook thing Bullwinkle posted

You stud.

Ale

I'm not sure where the irony is coming in here.  I assume it's something about posting this myself here.

I'm referring to an earlier comment I made about similar items getting posted all the time on FB, talking about the challenge of them.  People continue to post them, so they must find them challenging.  I posted this as another example of how these keep happening and how, again, the answer comes in seconds, so I don't understand why people find these challenging and keep posting them.

My post here was to point that out.  It wasn't along the "isn't this cool" lines that seem to keep it propagated.

They are designed to get people to respond by making them think they are special because they can figure them out right away. A lot of spam uses techniques similar to this.


Ale

This just got posted:



Within seconds I had Mumford and Sons; Rush; Emerson, Lake and Palmer; Phoenix...

Are you being ironic?

Ale

It's only trolling because most of you are too delusional to realize how ignorant you are in regard to this issue. 

Let me help make it more clear for you.

Our country, that has over 16 trillion in debt, has given billions of dollars and aircraft to a Muslim Brotherhood administration in Egypt whose first order of business was to seek the release of Omar Abdel-Rahman and followed that up with a dictatorial power grab.  This only scratches the surface, and instead of admitting that its a travesty, you all attempt to divert attention to spelling errors and punctuation and schoolboy insults. 

Exactly what I expected to happen though.

Dude, stop. Just stop. Even if you wanted to have a thoughtful, critical discussion of the situation in Egypt, you're clearly incapable. You demonstrate that in every post.

Ale

Frankly, I think the problem is the very same subject of this thread: Always looking for the next 'big thing' and not appreciating what we have available to play right now.

Guild Wars 2
EVE Online
Rift
The Secret World
LOTR Online
World Of Warcraft

All very decent games that could use more love from MMO players. You burn thru content in less than 2 months and now are looking for something new. You're worse than serial monogamists. Gamers are their own worse enemies; in my observation.

Why no love for EQ2?

I don't think the thread is about moving on to the next big thing, just curiosity over what it will be.

Ale

I think ArcheAge will be one of the bigger ones.

Ale

How did you handle the sound?

Ale

Sound is handled via HDMI. You can set the system up in about 30 seconds, just like a console.

There is a solid state drive option, but if I recall it was a $200 option.

Cool. I didn't realize graphic cards HDMI ports actually output audio.

Ale

How did you handle the sound?

Ale

All backward idiots are atheists? IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE IMPLYING??!

I don't think he's implying that at all. Why do you ask that?

Ale

Arclight isn't trying to insult anyone.  He's being open and honest about his beliefs.  I may not agree with them, but I see no reason to belittle him for his faith.  I disagree more with intolerance, truth be told.

I realize that, and I'm not trying to insult him either, though I am being harsh on purpose. I don't see why he can attack the foundations of my world view (such as the Big Bang) if I can't attack his right back. Sometimes I get the impression that attacking science is okay, but attacking religion is unacceptable.

It's not just "the foundation of your worldview," either. Science is right -- not always in its conclusions, but in its process and approach. The framework of science is the only system we have in place for truly determining what is factual or not in this world.

If your religion is based upon ignoring or denying large bodies of rigorously-tested scientific data, then your religion is undeserving of respect.

Are the followers of that religion undeserving of respect?

Ale

I'll respectfully

That probably would have prevented the argument.

Ale

So all forms of religion are appallingly backwards to you?  Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus...they're all just backward people?

Why do you have to read everything I write from the most negative angle possible?

As a mostly neutral observer, could it possibly be because you write it with such a negative angle? You come across as dogmatic as many a religious zealot.

Ale

I did say overtly, not overly. Important distinction.

Ale

I'm curious how long you've been born again, Arclight. I never thought of you as overtly religious at all until this thread.

Ale

If Jesus came back today, who would be his biggest detractors?

I've wondered for a long time how the second coming would go down if it happened today. Could you imagine someone trying to claim they were Christ?

Ale

1. Being a Christian is not the same as being Religious.

Um...what?

Dude, he *specifically* said he'd like to explain it but it's impossible.  Sometimes you just have to accept things on not-faith.

-Autistic Angel

My comment to him still stands.  I find it especially ludicrous because I am a Christian.

Well I'm not a Christian OR religious, and yet his statement seems easy to understand.

You can follow the teachings of Jesus and believe in his divinity without being a churchgoer or practicing any sect's doctrine. That's being a Christian without being religious.

Or

You can go to church regularly, practice all the prescribed rituals, and tithe the expected amount without actually believing the literal truth of the resurrection. That's being religious without being a Christian. Or you can follow any of a number of religions that aren't Christianity. Who's more religious, broadly speaking, than Muslims?

Going to church is not what makes you religious. A Christian is an adherent of Christianity. If you don't believe Christ was the son of god and died for your sins, you aren't a Christian. I don't see how you can be a Christian and not be religious.

Ale

The confirmed intent of that facebook post was to insinuate the president was worthless

This is okay

and deserving of death.  

This is not.

Tacking on the n word was her way of showing his worthlessness by using a term she believed trivialized and insulted the man.

Agreed. But does the act of tacking on the word make her a racist? Or was she just trying to insult him in a deeply offensive way?

Ask yourself why it would insult him in a deeply offensive way and you might have your answer.

Ale

She looks a lot like her dad.

Ale

I think we figured out the scandal! Alefroth sleeps with Obama! Caught on tape! FILM AT 11!

I would think the scandal would be due to Biden continually washing his '83 Trans Am on the White House lawn shirtless.

And it ain't no grainy night-vision flik either.

Ale

Why is there not a no vote that doesn't call users losers?

Consider the source.

Ale

I don't know what it will be. Probably not graft and corruption or other illegal activities; this white house seems as above-board as any. I'm leaning toward a clintonesque zippergate episode.

I see it the other way. Obama doesn't seem like a guy who would cheat. But given he's from Chi-town, corruption seems like an option.  Maybe around solar companies.

And Hep, how about you just answer the question without being a douche?

And I'm not angry at all. Apathetic is more appropos.

If it walks like a douche, and talks like a douche...

And then you insult our intelligence.

Ale

Also, really great concession by Mr Romney.

It's almost like he was relieved to be able to be himself.

Ale

That was an ass kicking.

I wouldn't call Obama being the first president to win reelection with a smaller number of electoral votes than he earned the first time to an "ass kicking".

That's OK.

Ale

She's the one on the left.

She looks a lot like her dad.

Ale

Have had Metropolitan for over 15 years, and had one claim, which was very smooth and got paid a lot more than expected. However, just today talked with Allstate because Met's premium keeps going up. Allstate is able to provide the same policy for considerably less.

Ale

It's all fun and games until you try to pin Romney down about HIS plan.

Romney has plainly calculated that he can win without explaining what he’d do as president, and seems intent on becoming the “generic Republican candidate” that pollsters include in surveys (and that often outperform real Republicans). He seems to be making two assumptions: The country is in such dire shape that simply being against Obama is enough, and his background at Bain Capital is a sufficient qualification to get him elected. His campaign is a sustained exercise in avoiding risk.

I know Romney's jobs plan has something to do with tax cuts for billionaires and magic pixie dust, but I'm a little hazy on the details.

No, I don't think you are.
