Super! Thanks for your input! If you aren't interested, feel free not to look.
Nice attitude! There shouldn't be a problem with someone pointing out the "minimal improvements", no need to be sensitive!

Since I have no real knowledge of any of the areas other than Austin (which is awesome), I just have one piece of advice: probably not a great idea ranking your job choices by name in public on the internet. If I was the hiring manager at Job #2, for example, lines such as "Not exactly the position I want, but one I can certainly do" is the sort of thing that'd move me on from Candidate A to Candidate B if I had a lot of choices to fill a position.
I thought the same thing, but then I thought what are the chances that particular person is going to stumble across this.

If you buy 2-day shipping on Thurs. you won't get it until Mon. because UPS doesn't deliver on Sats.
I just ordered a Flip camcorder on Thursday and they it came on Saturday via my usual 2-day shipping for Prime. Also about a month ago we ordered an iPod touch late on a Thursday, paid the $3.99 so it would come on Saturday and it actually showed up Friday. Amazon has been great for me.

We order something from Amazon like once a week and have never had a single issue. We once even had a cat jump on a brand new laptop and break off some keys from the keyboard and they replaced it for free with no problems. If I have a choice between Amazon and any other store, for anything, I choose Amazon.
Ditto here. Have a subscription to Amazon Prime and we use them all the time with no issues and with some great customer service for some things that we ordered but needed to return. Same for us. Amazon is great. But when you ship 20 trillion orders a day there are bound to be at least a few errors.

I really liked Guerrilla, but I hope your character is able to withstand more damage than a piece of wet tissue paper this time around.
huh?? He was practically immortal! At least, compared to a real person. I actually always thought that was the weakest part , since the game wasnt a straight up fighter/shooter, but one man waging a guerrilla war against the numerical superior enemy. about the only time I died was when I placed the explosives wrong or did something stupid like charging into a squad of goons head on. as long as you upgrade the armor and remember he's wearing a suit of wet tissue paper which means head on assaults usually don't end well you should be fine. Yeah, I thought he was pretty much unstoppable. I spent most of the game running up to enemies, getting shot, and then smashing their faces in with the hammer.

The bits for this game are top notch and I love the theme. Unfortunately I've found the gameplay to be something of a dud. It just seems to work out that the only turn that matters is the last one. I wonder why we even bother with the rest of the game.

I wouldn't worry too much. You are way ahead of us in the series. Wings haven't come back to win after down 3-0 since like 1975 or so.
I thought that was the Islanders? Was it? I thought they did it once although I forget which. Sleep befuddled mind apparently.  The Leafs did it to the Wings in the 1942 Stanley Cup. The Islanders did it in 1975. The Red Sox did it in 2004. I think that's it.

It's definitely nice to revisit the old world, it's going to be sad when they change it and we can't go back.
I don't know, I think I've seen enough of the Old World to last me forever. I've always loved playing the low level areas, I'm looking forward to leveling up one or two characters 1-85 and getting to see the new content in Azeroth.

Last time they got me cause it was just one guy. I just thought, what the hell did he delete me and then try to add me again? But this time, 7 people? That's a bit ridiculous! That would make anyone suspicious. I suppose it would be better to just not be part of facebook at all-I can't remember the last time it was actually worthwhile for me. All I get is updates from people who are addicted to updating and people playing some $*%#ing stupid hotel game.
There's a hotel game?

Well its worth it if you are going to be a lawyer. I guess you need to decide what you want to do. I'd think you might finish up and at least look for lawyering work while you pursue programming on the side.
